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, so long as she approves," Jono replied, offering Jan-of-the-goldfish-crackers a bit of a smile. "Thorgabella is going to start by throwing a table. Just because."

It was the in thing this year.

Jan offered him a goldfish because she was nice like that. And he looked like he might have spare candy on him.

"But Dazzler is not cool with this since she's all good and lawful and crap. Also, charisma all over the place. Look at that charisma there, Poccylips, Just look at it! This is how she manages to still have a career without disco being popular."

"... It's sad that that's so true," Jono allowed, letting that Poccylips comment breeze on by as he accepted the offered cracker, and then, because it was some kind of unwritten fact of natural law, he went rummaging through his pockets to see if he had some rogue chocolate left over from yesterday's battle. "So, is Dazzler about to try to charisma Thorgabella out of her table-throwing fit?"

He was not going to admit that he was sort of enjoying this. Ever.

"Yes, she's going to sing a song to soothe the savage beast." A beat. "It's by ABBA."

Oh god, stop him. STOP HIM, JONO.

"You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life..."

Jono was going to just be a moment. His jaw had fallen open somewhere in there, and now he was staring.

Oh god. It was singing at him. Make it stop.

"... I think we're going to have to roll to see if it works," he offered, weakly.

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Roll what now?"

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[furnaceface]

"One of the dice...?"

Look, Jono had no idea how this worked. At all. But he did finally manage to find a fun-sized Mars bar in his pocket, and held it out for Jan.

"Or we could flip a coin."

Jan snatched that candy out of his hand and rushed to open it behind Deadpool in an instant. "Jan, be polite even though he's an X-Men."

A beat. "Are these dice also used as projectile weapons?"

Somewhere behind him there was a mumbled, "Thank you."

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[furnaceface]

"Welcome, luv." A beat. "Former X-Men."

He was pretty adamant on that one.

Or would be for a few years, at least.

"I think maybe Topher might take exception to us throwing his dice around. I don't think that's necessarily any reason not to." The D4s looked pretty pointy, after all. "Maybe save them in case something attacks the camp, though."

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

Deadpool just sighed. A long, dramatic sigh,

"Fine, I will gently roll the dice and then what do we do?"

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[furnaceface]

Jono needed to take a moment. Needed to take a moment to stare blankly at his character sheet.

"... Math?"

Yeah, no.

"I'll rock-paper-scissors you for it, mate."

"I'll trade you a juicebox for it to work." They were apple, Jono. Try to resist that.

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[furnaceface]

Damn you, Deadpool. Damn you.

"Deal. Thorgabella stops throwing tables, wooed into submission by Dazzler's... ABBA."

Good lord.

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Deadpool gave him the juice box. "Aw yeah. I roll twenties."

Did that mean Deadpool actually knew how to play the game and was just trolling them? WHO KNEW?
