d&d alignments room

[gamesonthebrain]

*trainwreck/disaster syndrome (and boredom) leads Matt to wandering , poking his head into rooms and trying not to drown in random oceans or let dragons set him on fire or whatever; eventually he finds a strange room that opens into what looks like a tavern from medieval time

[by this point he should really know better than to step into random rooms -- and, in fact, he does, but this time he thought that he was entering a safe room, the one which he had appropriated for his quarters. however, the mansion is a tricky place, and so somehow he ended up here instead, something which he notices immediately, given the fact that the room looks completely different and is full of other people.

then he registers the tingling on his chest and he starts, violently, looking around himself and then at himself, expecting some kind of horifically embarrassing side effect.

instead, the words "Neutral Good" wink merrily up at him.]

... oh.

Well, that could be worse, I guess.

[gamesonthebrain]

Much worse, I'm sure. *sighs, not bothering to hide his currently* You could've been turned into a fish or something.

[excalibrated]

[looks over at Matt, eyes flickering over his label, expression carefully blank.] Yeah. That's pretty much what I was expecting. Thought I was stepping into my bedroom... this place is impossible. I swear the layout changes sometimes.

[pause.] So what do they mean, exactly? [gestures at chest.] I mean, I can guess what "neutral good" and "neutral evil" mean, but -- do you have any idea if there's some kind of point, or fixed ordering system, or...?

[gamesonthebrain]

*dryly* It's from D&D. You can be either Good, Neutral, or Evil. And within that, you can be either Neutral to that type, Chaotic, or Lawful. Then there's variants who are kinda in the middle... *pokes at his label* I would have figured Chaotic Neutral for me, really.

[Misa has been wandering in the mansion since she talked with Near and the other Misa. She notices that a group of people in one of the rooms, and decides to enter.

The words "Chaotic Good" appear on her chest.]

...what?

[gamesonthebrain]

*looks over at her* It means... what type of person you are and what you do under pressure. *shrug*

[misa_smile]

Okay. [nod]

Who are you? You look familiar, but the hair and clothes are different.

[icklemail]

*across Miles' shirt (along one of the stripes) reads the words 'Chaotic Good' - yep, another one!*

... Matt? Why does your shirt say that?

[gamesonthebrain]

*awww, how cute~*

...Because the mansion thinks it's funny. *B| yes, this reason*

[icklemail]

Ohhh. Okay!

*accepts this, because duh, Matt is obviously a goodie and the mansion is a lying liar that lies and does other mean things besides.*

The mansion should start being nicer.

[gamesonthebrain]

*...kinda feels bad for saying that but... morals are hard to explain to kids*

It ought to be. Somehow I'm not surprised it hasn't been.

[light_the_lady]

Light - still in Mel's body but wearing her own clothes - walks into the room, looking for - well, definitely not this room. She sighs, exasperated, when the door slams behind her.

Another one of these rooms. Wonderful. Just what I needed.

She stares down at her chest, puzzled at the words LAWFUL NEUTRAL now printed there.

[gamesonthebrain]

...Light-in-Mel, I take it?

*no comment on her alignment, or his own*

[light_the_lady]

She smiles politely.

Yes, that's correct. I see Mel in my body is already here. You're still Matt?

[gamesonthebrain]

Still Matt, quite happy with that fact.

[gamesonthebrain]

That's pretty much all that's happening. Lucky, huh? *has stopped caring if people see his alignment*

[gamesonthebrain]

There's even old-fashioned booze back here. *indicates the wooden bar* Kinda dubiously labeled though.
