fandomhigh | Choose Your Own Adventure: Tuesday, 3rd Period (5/17)

Everybody was back at the Community Center today, and this time there were spiral notebooks laid out at the tables for everyone along with an assortment of pencils, pens, and colored pencils. Steph was once again sitting on the front table and kicking her feet back and forth, this week in a sleeveless black t-shirt that said "Roll for Panic Attack" on it.

"Soooooooooooo, it looks like the high fantasy setting just edged out the nautical one," she said, looking slightly apologetic. She'd kind of wanted to bust out that pirate costume again. "But it is a classic choice for reasons. We're talking unicorns, giants, and dragons here, people. Swords and magic and epic adventure, courtly intrigue, the works."

She had a feeling at least a couple of people on the roster would feel right at home there, too.

"With that in mind, everybody grab a notebook because we're going to get into character creation this week," she went on, clapping her hands once for emphasis and grinning her infectious, not-quite-maniacal grin of excitement. "For starters, what's your character's name? What's their background -- a simple farmer, maybe, or a knight, or the village healer? What kinds of skills have they learned from their life experience? What's their social status? Then start thinking about what really drives them. Revenge? Riches? Doesn't have to be anything huge. Maybe they just want to make it to this one shop in the kingdom's capital to get their grandmother the perfect birthday present. Not everybody has to be a hero, but if that's what's gonna make you happy here? Go for it, dude. We're here to have fun."

She held her hands out in a reassuring gesture. "I know that might seem like a lot, but that's just for starters. We can dig deeper into character details over the next couple of weeks, as we build out the world and get a sense of what kind of adventure we're going on. Bounce ideas off each other if you want to here, or ask me for help if that's more comfortable. And once I have a better sense of what kind of characters you all are going to give me to work with, we can start planning out the kind of adventure we're gonna go on."

"Aye, yes. No more sugar glider," he said with a mix of relief and disappointment as he gave Libby a small grin.

Libby shook her head a little, eyes wide and still marveling over the fact that this just happened to people.

"So what was it like?" she asked. "It had to have felt strange, but it sounds like Guillermo did a good job taking care of you."

Probably a better job than she'd done with Vi when she turned into a cat, but Vi was pretty upset about the whole thing most of the time.

"It was... odd" Kurt offered after a moment, still trying to fully process it all himself. "It's like I kinda knew I was Kurt in a way, but all I wanted was to do sugar glider things. Like, I knew Guillermo was a friend and a nice person but I had no idea who he was or anything. It was... is... still kinda odd. But was still really cool. I remember being able to fly and that was soooooo much fun!"

"Well, I certainly hope," said Libby, in a tone that was...mostly teasing, "enough of the sugar glider's out of your brain that you don't find yourself trying to fly now."

Kurt gave Libby a wink and then grinned. "I will do my best. Don't want to end up in the clinic again with a sprained wrist or worse right?" he added with a laugh.

"But..." Kurt continued after a moment pause. "How... how have you been? Didn't think I would see you around much after...." he gave a sort of 'ya know' shrug.

Libby blinked a little in confusion at first before she remembered that the last time they'd actually talked had been almost weeks ago (very long weeks at that), and the last time had actually been...

Her face seemed to go a bit red. "Oh. Right. That. I....honestly don't know what came over me, but almost as soon as I got home, I pretty much wanted to just turn right back around and head back. Maybe I was just....feeling homesick, or...something lime that..."

It had been a lot different than homesickness, and it had been very...weird...

"well, glad you are back" Kurt said with a nod. "Wouldn't be the same without you around" he added with a somewhat shy grin.

"I'm glad I'm back, too," Libby agreed, with a wryness and a look that made it clear what she really thought about that alternative that she'd apparently been so certain about before!

But she really didn't want to think about that too much, and she nodded toward Kurt's notebook.

"So," she prompted, with a grin, "who are you going to be?"

"A Wolfen rogue!" Kurt said with a grin. He slid the paper with the notes and ideas scribbled on it already. "I've been trying to get a group back at the Academy together for something like this but many are into it..."~~and this is not at all an attempt on the player's part to bring said DnD character to life in some way~~. "What do you have in mind for your character so far?"
