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.]]

Who didn't see that coming?

"DAMN IT, THORGABELLA!"

"Nobody told her she had to row outside the bloody boat!"

YOU HAD TO SPECIFY THESE THINGS!

Natalie gave him her very best unimpressed look. And it was a pretty damn good unimpressed look.

Later she'd be stunned to realize she'd used it over the stupidity of an entirely fictional person. Now, however...

"How dumb is she?"

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: UH OH, YOUR BOAT IS BROKEN

In reply, Jono just held up that character sheet. The one with the three in intelligence on it.

"Pretty bloody stupid."

"Make her smarter," Karla suggested. "Rinoa did it with her charisma score when she found out I was prettier."

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: UH OH, YOUR BOAT IS BROKEN

[furnaceface]

"I'm... pretty sure that's cheating."

And besides, he kind of liked playing the idiot half-orc. Not that he'd admit that.

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: UH OH, YOUR BOAT IS BROKEN

[angelo_wings]

"You so weren't prettier!"

She wasn't denying the cheating allegation. Just the root cause.

They were the bitchiest pretend couple ever.

"Tell that to your thighs in those hideous diamond boots!"

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: UH OH, YOUR BOAT IS BROKEN

[angelo_wings]

"You're just mad that your boots weren't that awesome," Rinoa sniffed. "Not everyone can rock diamond boots and mine actually gave me a Plus Two to Awesomeness. It said that on here."

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: UH OH, YOUR BOAT IS BROKEN

[glacial_queen]

"I'm sorry you needed boots to increase your awesomeness," Karla said sweetly. "Mine is all natural."

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: UH OH, YOUR BOAT IS BROKEN

[angelo_wings]

"Unlike your hair," Rinoa cooed.

"Can we fix the boat?"

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: UH OH, YOUR BOAT IS BROKEN

[selfhelphero]

"I don't know, how big is the hole? Can we stick someone over it? There's some bigger folks, right?"

"The Orc broke it, the orc gets to be the plug," Kenzi suggested. "Also, she can kick her legs like a propeller that way."

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: UH OH, YOUR BOAT IS BROKEN

[furnaceface]

"Half-orc."

Touchy.

"... Right, then. Stick her in."

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: UH OH, YOUR BOAT IS BROKEN

[selfhelphero]

"Think of it like good exercise. Training those leg muscles for butt-kicking later."

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: UH OH, YOUR BOAT IS BROKEN

[throughaphase]

"I have, um," she said, looking over her sheet. "Well first, I have an animal companion I didn't see before. And I have... evasion. Can I evade the broken boat?"

Yeah, she knew that was a stretch.

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: UH OH, YOUR BOAT IS BROKEN

[angelo_wings]

"What kind of animal?" Rinoa asked. These were important questions. "You should get her a dog. Dogs are awesome."

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: UH OH, YOUR BOAT IS BROKEN

[throughaphase]

"It just says 'animal companion.' Maybe that means I get to make it up?" Could she do that? Were there rules here? Did she care if there were?

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: UH OH, YOUR BOAT IS BROKEN

[glacial_queen]

"It's probably the horse you left behind," Karla informed her. "Leaving it to starve and wander about the land, until she's taken by a cruel merchant and worked into the ground."

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: UH OH, YOUR BOAT IS BROKEN

[throughaphase]

"I have a light warhorse and a companion animal, and my horse is totally fine," Kitty insisted.

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: UH OH, YOUR BOAT IS BROKEN

[glacial_queen]

"Psssht, do you have any idea how much a horse is worth?" Karla asked. "You leave one of those lying around and you know someone is going to take it. Hopefully whoever does knows better than to just turn her into glue or something."

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: UH OH, YOUR BOAT IS BROKEN

[throughaphase]

"No one is turning my horse into glue!" Kitty said, probably more loudly than necessary. "I've decided so! But if you want to turn your own horse paranoia around on me, than whatever makes you feel better."

She was starting to feel bad about the horse, shut up.

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: UH OH, YOUR BOAT IS BROKEN

[glacial_queen]

"You should probably roll for that," Karla said. "Just to make sure. I mean, you did just leave your horse standing around for anyone who wanted steak."
