[ Did someone say IC DnD? Chiaki’s got your back.

Those frequenting the dormitory lounge may find that she's transferred several books from the library. There are two different versions of the Dungeons and Dragons Handbook, and two more of some different universe’s equivalent- it's called ‘Cellars and Cryptids’, and involves some unusual rules like settling all player disputes with dance battles but yeah. The spirit is the same. Some supplies have been provided- paper and pencils mostly, a few blank character sheets, and a box full of Ridiculous Assortments Of Dice. Good luck trying to find a 20-sided one, how about a d9.36?

She's tried to do something for the visually impaired, but unfortunately the braille copy of ‘Dragons in the Dungeon’ that she found is not in fact a DnD guidebook, but some kind of trashy romance novel. Sorry. :(

Grab some friends and go on an adventure together!]

Not sure where to start. I mean, I could start in that girl's campaign, I guess? [ She gestures to Tali. ]But I dunno, I looked over her setting and stuff and I'm not feeling it.

I don't even really have a character concept. I knew people back home who got like, really into this shit with their characters and stuff, but I'm drawing blanks.

[cyclicalconcept]

I can help, if you'd like? I had some fun making my character, but I'd never played this before...

[letsplayer]

My brother had a character. Like... a half-orc barbarian? But then he mostly liked to get into fights and do stupid shit.

...and that's tempting, but I don't know what my playstyle's gonna be.

[cyclicalconcept]

I think play style just has to be something that evolves naturally, right? I mean, if you want your character to do that stuff, of course, but probably you should start with something that speaks to you, you know?

[letsplayer]

Then I'm probably also gonna be a fuckin' barbarian. Could you imagine the possibilities?

[cyclicalconcept]

Oh? Ok! That does sound fun...though I'm a cleric...

So what race will they be?

[letsplayer]

Hadn't thought that far...

[ Shit. ]

I mean, I don't wanna be a half-orc, but then the only reason I don't wanna is because then it just feels like I'm ripping off my brother's character? So I guess human also works...

[cyclicalconcept]

Oh, yeah, humans look like they're pretty balanced...so a half-human barbarian!

[Slightly shifty eyes]

What...are you going to name them?

[letsplayer]

Yup. Alright. I'm gonna make her a half-human. Other half... orc.

[ MARLA... ]

And I guess her name is... MGRHTHRGH?

[ She makes a sound that sounds like a distressed MURRRGH, which sounds vaguely Orcish. ]

...Megan? I dunno.

[cyclicalconcept]

Oh no, that sounds cute...! I bet she'll be cute!

[letsplayer]

She spent her entire life around orcs.

[ Because her brother's character was raised by humans and she's being DIFFERENT, DAMMIT. ]

So I'm not sure if Megan is her actual name, but have you tried speaking orc?

[cyclicalconcept]

Well, not orc, but I've known of languages with similar tonal and linguistic similarities...there's actually a lot of languages like that actually...

[#totesnormal]

[letsplayer]

...oh. Right...

[ Dammit. ]

Kinda hard to remember that when I've spent the past few years with these weird translation microbes in my brain and shit.
