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.]]

"Well, I didn't name her," Jono protested, frowning at his sheet. "But it certainly seems to suit."

Really. Trust him on this.

"I suppose your name is much better, then."

"It started as Berda Ker," she said, "but I changed it to Bedrystaia Kyrlia the Just because that's even better. I'm a half-elf with long blonde hair and a powerful sorceress. I'm also a kidnapped princess but now I have amnesia."

Someone ought to tell Rinoa that you only needed one Y to spell 'Mary Sue.'

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[furnaceface]

"If you're so powerful, how did you get kidnapped, exactly? And what are you doing in a tavern?"

Sorry, Rinoa. Jono was bad at this game.

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[angelo_wings]

Shit. Those were good questions. Rinoa took a moment to consider them, before alighting upon the obvious answer.

"I said I have amnesia," she said. "Duh."

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[furnaceface]

"So... one of us is your kidnapper?"

Jono eyed Rinoa thoughtfully, and then shrugged. "I doubt Thorgabella has the brains to do it herself."

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[angelo_wings]

"Or maybe you guys rescued me and I just forgot," Rinoa said. "It might be that weird amnesia that keeps going, like in that movie that's all backwards so you don't know what's going on the first time. But I don't have tattoos of license plates on me or anything, so I don't remember any of it."

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[furnaceface]

".... Okay. So... how does she remember her spells, then?"

Your sorcerer princess was hurting his brain, Rinoa.

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[angelo_wings]

"That's a different kind of memory," Rinoa decided. "Like muscle memory and how you remember bike-riding even if you hit your head. Everybody knows that."

Yes, Jono. Continue to use Earth Logic with Rinoa. This would end well.

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[furnaceface]

Squint. All the squinting.

"Thorgabella gets bored of smashing and steals Bedry's purse. She's got a fair bit of dexterity, I think she can manage it. And then waits ten minutes."

Ha!

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[angelo_wings]

"Dammit!" Rinoa folded her arms, clearly unhappy about this turn of events.

"Wait, I booby-trapped my purse so it eats your eyeballs when you open it. So there."

Which was a clearly good idea for an amnesiac's purse to begin with.

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[furnaceface]

"Thorgabella wears magic sunglasses. Your purse chokes and dies."

So there again.

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[angelo_wings]

Rinoa was now going to have a good, proper sulk about the matter.

"There wasn't anything in there, anyway," she decided. "Just a note that said THORGABELLA SUCKS. And some used tissues."

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[furnaceface]

"Thorgabella figures that used tissues are worth something, because she's an idiot, and sells them to the bartender for a fortune, because they've been used by a long-lost princess."

Jono was just enjoying himself, now.

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[angelo_wings]

"That means I'm a celebrity," Rinoa beamed. "I feel awesome now."

See, that totally proved her .... um .....

Where were they going with this, again?

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[furnaceface]

"Too bad you can't remember long enough to feel really good about that," Jono replied, smirking. "Here, Thorgy will buy you a drink with yer snot-rag money. It's the least she can do."

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[angelo_wings]

"Score!" Rinoa cheered. "To the bar!"

Problem solved! Mostly! Let's go with that!
