Okay. The world was maybe almost over. Topher was more than a little freaked.

So out came the dice and the cape, and after making a quick annoucement, he set up at a toadstool with some character sheets for some pre-apocalyptic Dungeons and Dragons.

Kid had priorities.

[[OCD is up! Yep, idea stolen from Buffy 7x22, "Chosen." Anyone can play, and if you want to ICly be talked into it, lemme know and I'll have Topher get naggy. I have an AIM chat for this if you wanna pop in -- rpwithinanrpyegods. Have fun!

OH, and a million thanks to glacial_witch, brat_intraining, harpy_daughter and most especially not_a_parakeet for humoring me and teaching me how this works. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST AND I LOVE YOU.]]

"Dear lord. He's wearing a cape."

Yes. This was probably going to be the sticking point for the day. Unless you could fly or constantly referred to yourself in the third person, capes were generally a fashion faux-pas.

Re: Hear the Announcement/Come Over/Sit Down

[dollpocalypse]

"Why are people so concerned by this?"

Look, you played with a cape or not at all.

"Because you don't have the tights or ridiculous body armour to back it up," Jono intoned. In all seriousness. "It looks absurd without one or the other."

Jono had opinions about most components of your typical superheroing uniform.

"You can't be Dungeon Master," Topher informed Jono. Just in case that's what he was getting at.

Re: Hear the Announcement/Come Over/Sit Down

[furnaceface]

That... wasn't what Jono had been getting at, no.

"Really, that was probably sitting somewhere around last on my list of priorities, mate."

Re: Hear the Announcement/Come Over/Sit Down

[dollpocalypse]

"Well..." A beat. "You should play!"

Oh, the non-sequiturs.

Re: Hear the Announcement/Come Over/Sit Down

[furnaceface]

"Dungeons and Dragons is also fairly low on my list of priorities at the moment," he intoned, mostly because... look, he still didn't trust that cape. He couldn't help it. "Tell me again why I should be playing games right now?"

Re: Hear the Announcement/Come Over/Sit Down

[dollpocalypse]

Topher shrugged. "I dunno. So you don't wet your pants or something?"

YOU'RE WELCOME.

Re: Hear the Announcement/Come Over/Sit Down

[furnaceface]

...

"If I feel that particular urge, I'll take it behind a toadstool, mate."

Just saying.

Re: Hear the Announcement/Come Over/Sit Down

[dollpocalypse]

"I didn't need to know that, bro," Topher informed him, reaching to try to pat Jono's shoulder. "But thanks. For the update."

Re: Hear the Announcement/Come Over/Sit Down

[furnaceface]

Oh god. It was touching him.

"Anytime."

Why was it touching him.

Make it stop.

Re: Hear the Announcement/Come Over/Sit Down

[dollpocalypse]

"Character sheet," Topher instructed, pointing to the pile.

Because Jono had totally agreed to play, right?

Re: Hear the Announcement/Come Over/Sit Down

[furnaceface]

Oh, to hell with it. It wasn't as though Jono was going to actually sleep tonight.

"Right. Right."

So help him, this couldn't possibly work well in his favour.
