Author’s Notes: I’m in a Creative Writing class this semester, and we had an exercise where we were asked to write a paragraph or so of a story starting in the middle of trouble of some sort... ten times. I used up all of my original universes, so the last two ended up being vaguely fannish. Number IX was a DBFS short from the Saviours' high school years.


“Fumbled”

Dice clattered loudly against the wood table, settling on to one of twenty sides and displaying the number 1. Edward let out a sound of dismay. “DAMMIT!” Muttering darkly to himself, he seized the die again, and… rolled another 1.

“Ouch, fumble,” Dungeon-Master Bakura said evenly. “Your spear strike misses completely and, in the process, you trip over a rock.” His tenor-pitched, English-accented voice remained perfectly even as he said this, though a smile touched his eyes briefly. “The Bodak you were trying to hit takes an attack of opportunity and deals 4 damage.”

Edward let his head hit the surface of the table. “Great.”

Bakura smiled just a bit before gesturing to the red-head girl seated next to Edward. “Kat, you’re up.”

“And for my turn, I cast MAGIC FUCKING MISSILE! …At the Bodak Ed tried to hit,” Kat responded with a grin, and rolled her own twenty-sided die. She successfully hit said Bodak and dealt a total of 10 points of damage upon making three more rolls with a set of four-sided dice. Edward glowered at her and grumbled. She grinned unabashedly in response. “Attack Bonus for the win?”
