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.]]

"But so what!" Having trod very close to this line last week, Kenzi didn't want to see Topher try that particular dance with annoyance or, you know, deadly irritation. "You're pink! SHOCKING NEWS! Let it go!"

"I just want to learn things!" Topher insisted. He grew louder and more animated as he continued, "Like, why's he blue? Why's Warren have wings and Karla have that poison thing and why would someone cool want to go out with her and what the hell is up with everything outside and why does that toadstool have more spots than the others and SERIOUSLY, DON'T YOU THANK A GUY WHEN HE DUNGEON MASTERS YOU?"

Aaaaaaaaaand breathe.

Okay, okay okay okay, Kenzi could only address part of that, so: "THANK YOU FOR DUNGEON MASTERING! ... and seriously, you wonder about the toadstools? What? And sometimes people are touchy! That's why! And and ..." Kenzi put her head in her hands. "Anyone?"

Kitty raised her hand a little. "And there are really better times for certain discussions?" she said. "Like not while we're slaying dragons, for instance."

"I agree!" Topher chimed in. "There's no need for punching in the middle of an epic freaking quest!"

That wasn't what she meant, Topher.

"Or asking personal questions," Kenzi stressed. Half of her wanted to hug Topher for being clueless. The other half wanted to join the mob. "So, yeah, apologize, and let's get back to the gaaame, and from now on you don't get to name stuff. Or nickname people. Nope. I'm gonna ask Peter to make it a rule."

Topher sulked.

"Just because Peter makes it a rule doesn't mean..."

Yes, Topher. Yes. It did. You knew that.

"Fine."

Whew. "Have some more Mountain Dew."

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: Hey, look, a convenient plot twist in your favor!: Riddle 3

[dollpocalypse]

"Thanks."

Mmmm, Mountain Dew.

"Are we done with the lectures?" Deadpool asked, a child curled up on his lap and somehow managing to sleep through all of this. "Because wow, I think I fell asleep somewhere in the middle of all that 'respect mutantkind' blah blah blah."

He was the nicest person around.
