RPG Night, Sixth Floor Common Area, Wednesday Evening

[ultron_junior]

There'd been a handwavy email sent to the student body inviting them to games night, but Victor realized as he set out notepads and dice and stacked the manuals neatly by the chair he planned to sit on that he might be in over his head. He'd played tabletop RPGs a couple times, sure, but run a game

Arrive & Mingle

Talk, snack on chips and soda, etc.

Topher had assisted in planning this thing, if 'agreeing with Victor that he should run one' counted as assisting, so yeah, he was totally here.

The fact that it was Lightning Bug-themed meant that the cape he'd brought to offer the DM as a generous gesture probably wasn't necessary, though. But capes were too cool to have to be worn over ugly Christmas sweaters anyway, so he decided that was fine and stuffed it back in his backpack as he snacked on chips and waited for the game to start.

"Hi," Victor said. His sweater had bells sewn into it; he jingled faintly when he spoke. "Did you have a cape just now?"

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[dollpocalypse]

"Yeah, because capes are cool," Topher confirmed. "But not for Lightning Bug stuff, and you already have a... costume-like thing anyway."

That sweater, Victor. Oh god, that sweater.

Victor made a face. "I tried to change four times," he said. "But...."

The sweater looooooved him.

"Well, just don't try sneaking up on any supervillains," Topher suggested loftily. "Because they could hear you coming. It'd be embarrassing."

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[ultron_junior]

"Luckily the island doesn't seem to be throwing supervillains at us lately," Victor noted. "But hey, it could do that for a Christmas gift."

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[dollpocalypse]

Topher perked up. "If it did, could I help fight them?" Oh, Topher. "For a Christmas gift."

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[ultron_junior]

"... yes but that would be the worst gift ever," Victor said suspiciously. "I feel like I just jinxed us."

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[dollpocalypse]

"I won't tell anyone it was your fault," Topher said generously, because he was a good friend like that. "We can blame Stiles again."

Okay, he was a mediocre friend. Your point?

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[ultron_junior]

"Oh, did we decide last week was his fault?" Victor: Also kind of a crappy friend sometimes.

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[dollpocalypse]

"I did," Topher shrugged. "I haven't told him that. Wouldn't want to add to the guilt."

Cue a solemn nod. A very, very ridiculous solemn nod. Topher, what even?

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[ultron_junior]

"As long as you let him live with himself," Victor said, returning the nod.

"RPG?" Atton said, who had... pretty much just been attracted to the source of something that might have been a party (and involved playing tools of some kind). "What are you idiots doing now, and are you doing it for credits?"

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[dollpocalypse]

"More like chips," Topher informed him, passing some non-Pringle chips Atton's way. "Popular currency among high school students and the unemployed."

Re: Arrive & Mingle

"...I'll take it. I got nothing better to do," Atton said.

Why didn't anyone else know how to play pazaak? Should've asked Carrick.
