so in the original post i said Elix was the DM, but i changed my mind because i really wanted to make him a character. now the DM is the ship’s AI, SOFI.

(speaking of AI, this is the future so they probably have all sorts of cool virtual reality tech they can play with and i am frothing at the mouth just thinking about it.)

Petra and Val are playing siblings so they had to agree on a race and last name. stumped for ideas, Petra suggested they just use their actual last name, Lacroye, but backwards. Val’s reaction? “that’s absolutely stupid. let’s do it”

Ansel introduces his character: “this is Percival Montgomery Trenowyth the Third--” and Azami immediately interrupts with, “you mean, ‘the Turd?” (needless to say, these siblings still don’t get along post-series. they’re working on it.)

(they’ve all, besides Azami, agreed to try to be civil with Ansel, but Finneas can’t help but absolutely lose it when this happens.)

Elix affectionately refers to his character as “Noodle-Arm Noah” because of his rather sad strength stat. it’s fine. he has other talents.

Petra’s favoured enemy is evil sentient plants bc ofc it is.

i know i said Finn’s character, Delwyn, is a massive flirt, but i feel like Azami’s character Rosi would try to out-flirt him if the target’s a cute girl, keeping the Finn-Azami rivalry going, even in the game.

however they always both end up losing to Val, who doesn’t try to flirt but wins people over just by genuinely befriending them.

Azami’s character somehow ended up with 4 daggers.

Nena’s character is really hot. that’s all.

"Good afternoon," Finneas greeted as he strolled up to them. He pointed to the young man's boots. "I like your shoelaces."

"Thanks. I stole them from the Prime Councilor," he replied.

Her cheeks lightly squished between Petra heaved a sigh. "Oh plants," she lamented to the row of pots before her. "We're really in it now."

By Dracaenos, thought Finneas in dismay, this can't be happening.

"You're playing with forces you don't understand," Nena warned.

"As a scientist," Petra said coolly, "it's my job to fuck around and find out."

"My sister in Giadhô,

Ah, shit. Here we go again, Finneas thought,

Before anyone could react, the guard seized Azami by thearm and declared, "I believe there is an impostor among us."
