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.]]

What's the 55th digit of pi?

[[Topher's an asshole. Answer: 0.]]

"You're an asshole," Karla declared.

...No, she didn't know the answer.

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

[dollpocalypse]

"Your FACE is an asshole," Topher retorted.

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

[glacial_queen]

"So you're saying you want to kiss me, then?" Karla asked, innocently.

SHE HAD FOUND YOUR WEAKNESS, TOPHER.

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

[dollpocalypse]

"NO!"

NO NO NO NO NO NO NOT AT ALL. WHY WOULD YOU EVEN SAY THAT?

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

"Then stop showing your perverted obsession with asses!"

Jono looked at his character sheet. And then looked at Topher. And then looked at his character sheet.

"... Thorgabella guesses zero." A pause. "Well, she says zero while holding up four fingers and a toe, but I'm going to go with zero, here. That's actually as high as she can count."

Come on, three in intelligence! Thorgabella needs to do something right for once!

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

[dollpocalypse]

Topher was surprised.

"Yes!"

Huh. Way to go, Thorgabella!

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

[furnaceface]

"... Really?"

Jono was just as surprised as you were, Topher.

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

[dollpocalypse]

"Yeah!"

WEIRD.

"Do we each get a guess? We only need ten."

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

[dollpocalypse]

"Blue got it," Topher told him, nodding at Jono.

Sorry, Squall.

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

[furnaceface]

"Jon-o-thon."

Said slowly. Very slowly. As if he understood that the prospect of using his actual name might be a little much for Topher to grasp.

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

[dollpocalypse]

"...what?"

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

[furnaceface]

"My name. It's Jonothon."

And when a man his size gave you a look like that while rolling up his character sheet like so, it was probably a wise idea to just go with it.

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

[dollpocalypse]

"...where are you going with this?"

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

[furnaceface]

In case anybody was wondering what teeth grinding together sounded like...

"My name. It isn't Blue. Blue, in fact, is an insipid cartoon dog. I am not. Call me Jonothon."

Touchy, yes.

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

[whateverknight.livejournal.com]

Squall reached out a hand for Jono's shoulder. "He's not worth it."

Unlike Rinoa and Karla, who were more pouty than angry, Jono looked like he was actually going to hurt Topher. "Don't do this."

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

[dollpocalypse]

"I don't mind Blue," Topher pointed out, ignoring Squall. Because he wanted to die today. "I mean, Magenta's cooler, but..."

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

[whenshewasnice]

"Topher," Natalie chimed in with a warning tone, not that she cared what happened to him, "shut up."

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

[dollpocalypse]

"I'm just saying!"

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

[furnaceface]

... Oh, wait. And Jono had been just about to concede Squall's point and leave well enough alone.

"I am not Blue!"

Well, technically...

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

[dollpocalypse]

"I meant the dog," Topher corrected him. "You, I mind."

TOPHER. NO.

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

[furnaceface]

Deep breath. Right, then. Not worth it.

Tempting. But not worth it.

And it would be satisfying. But still, not worth it.

Jono exhaled and directed his glower toward a nearby toadstool, instead.

"It isn't as though it's a difficult name."

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

[whateverknight.livejournal.com]

"It's not," Squall agreed. "But Topher is always going to be stupid and rude. Just ignore it."
