Hey guys...sorry D&D was such a bust last week. I honestly couldn't tell you what I was thinking letting Servo DM.

[She shrugs. As she does there is a glint as her hand passes under a nearby work light.]

But I--[she stops, doing a double take. She holds her hand under the light again, and sure enough there is a shimmer of glitter, which she finds is also up her arm and on her other hand.

There is a pause, then her hand catches her forehead in a facepalm.] You can not be serious.

I think you and we were playing entirely different games, Servo.

Well I was playing Dungeons and Dragons! I dunno about you. [He is still spinning around.]

[punsofiron.livejournal.com]

Yeah? What edition? The Absolutely Batshit Insane Expansion?

The...the...

[And then Tom just gives in!]

Okay, fine, I admit it! I've barely studied any of the Dungeons and Dragons guides! No one on this ship ever wants to play with me so I never looked at it that closely! I just thought it looked cool and I wanted to do some Lord of the Rings roleplaying! I'm a complete fraud! A sham!

[He breaks down into pathetic robot sobs. Also, he is now sparkling more than ever.]

[Well. What a surprise. Not.

Well, except for the sparkling increasing. That's kind of weird. And yet it makes sense given her current theory on where it came from.]

[Tom continues to snuffle pathetically, and sparkle accordingly.\

Ohhh, woe is me, never to experience the proper joys of charging into battle against a vicious army of orcs, and of defeating them with a roll of the dice!

[Yeah, you have fun with that melodrama Servo. Liz has seen it all; she worked in retail before landing on Linkara's futon.

She'll be over here with a trashy novel. Not well written, either, blech.]

[Tom continues to cry and snuffle until he realizes that no one is really paying attention to him...]

Oh hey, I know! I'll start a LIVE ACTION ROLEPLAYING GAME!

[Aaaand he toddles off to do just that. Maybe.]

...What have I done.
