Base Camp | Special Collections | Laaaaate Saturday Night

[dollpocalypse]

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.]]

"Uh, not in the least," Karla said. "I didn't even blacken your eye when I hit you. But I did save you from being vanished so you could run around Special Collections in a cape."

"So everyone wins!"

Except Warren.

Harsh.

"I still win more." Obviously. Or...something. "So, what are you doing?"

Re: Hear the Announcement/Come Over/Sit Down

"D&D," he answered helpfully. Then, anticipating a less-than-knowledgable response, he clarified, "It's a game. You role-play as a character and go on a quest."

"So, it's like an acting thing?" Karla asked.

Re: Hear the Announcement/Come Over/Sit Down

[dollpocalypse]

"No, like a role-playing thing," he repeated. "You don't, like, get up and act it out. Unless you do. Okay. It's sort of an acting thing."

A beat.

"But you'd suck at it, so you shouldn't play."

Topher was seriously underestimating the effects of reverse psychology.

Karla had just been about to inform him that his game sounded as dumb as his cape looked, but at that...

"I would not!" Karla was affronted. "I bet I would be amazing!"

Re: Hear the Announcement/Come Over/Sit Down

[dollpocalypse]

"Yeah, right," Topher scoffed, turning away.

Karla marched over to the area he'd set up, snagged herself a character sheet, and waited. "Just you wait," she told him. "I am not only going to play awesomely, I am going to win. So there."

"I... really don't think you will!" Topher called after her.

Then he let it go. Because, well. She'd find out the hard way.
