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.]]

"I'm going to stay here and drink," Tyrion decided. "I have money, and why would I want to make the followers of an evil gnome king angry?"

Someone hadn't paid much attention in hero school.

"Booo, start a bar fight like everyone else!"

"But bar fights destroy drinks," Tyrion mock glared. "Fine, fine. Malkym scoops up the bottles behind the bar, stores them safely, and then goes to punch ... someone Dazzler tells him to punch."

"Better?"

"All while Dazzler is singing to Thorgabella," Deadpool added. "God, that name is terrible. Why would anyone name their child that? It's cruel."

"They're barbarians," Tyrion said helpfully. "Literally, I mean. Perhaps they thought it the loveliest name ever."

He shrugged. "Though there's not much to be said for Dazzler, either."

"She dazzles people! With her disco and roller skates."

No, those were equipable shoes. Did Topher want to call him on it, though?

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

"About half of that sentence made no sense to me," Tyrion said, with a shrug. "It's all right, though. I can carry on."

"Because that's the game," Squall told him. "We're supposed to."

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[halfman-lion.livejournal.com]

Tyrion looked at him dispassionately. "And if the game was for us all to open the windows and jump out, would we have to make our characters do that, too?"

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[whateverknight.livejournal.com]

"That would be a stupid game," Squall countered.

But, yes.

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[halfman-lion.livejournal.com]

"And if a game is stupid, why play it at all?" Tyrion countered, and squinted at his character sheet. "Wait. My fellow is quite stupid. Perhaps he would go along with the plan."

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

"...Do you normally play games you think are stupid?" Squall asked. The professor didn't seem like the type.

"Not if I can avoid it," Tyrion said. "However, we're short on wenches I'm allowed to look at, so any way I can pass the time is better than staring at the toadstools."

"How do we know this wizard-guy is even telling the truth?" Rinoa asked. "Maybe he's a nice gnome king and this is all a big trap to make us hurt him unfairly. We should just refuse to go on principle unless someone's got evidence."

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[halfman-lion.livejournal.com]

"This is what I'm saying," Tyrion agreed firmly. "Even the dullest sellsword isn't going to go off and chop a king's head off on orders -- not one who likes living, anyhow."

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[angelo_wings]

"We don't even know this wizard," Rinoa nodded. "He's just some guy. We can't take long-term life-threatening quest missions from some guy just because he says he'll pay us at the end. Even if it was true he'd probably screw us on the reward."

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[halfman-lion.livejournal.com]

"You're smart," Tyrion decided. "You'll likely last a while. What's your character?"

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[angelo_wings]

"Bedrystaia Kyrlia the Just," Rinoa said proudly. "She's a half-elf sorceress who is a kidnapped princess and has amnesia."

That sure was a lot of words to say "Mary Sue."
