[The video is upside down. Or, rather, Peter is sitting in a ceiling corner in the level six common room, upside down, and you're getting a weird camera angle as a result. Feel free to adjust your screens accordingly.]

You know, [He starts off, sounding generally more conversational and maybe slightly bored than anything else. Not having an inmate or much really to do is kind of wearing on him.] I know it's like, the butt of every joke imaginable, but Dungeons and Dragons? Way more fun than just sitting around here waiting for the next disaster port to hit, and I don't really think it deserves the bad rep it gets. Crazy, I know, but you might even enjoy it if you gave it a shot.

I mean, a few of you I wouldn't necessarily want to be Dungeon Master or anything - I've seen people who aren't world leaders turn into power crazy psychos, figure we don't need to dump gasoline on any fires - but seriously, might be a decent way to kill some time.

Orrrr anyone got Scattergories? Or Pictionary or something? The copy of Monopoly I found stashed under the television's missing most of the pieces, but honestly, Monopoly is pretty much the worst board game ever invented anyway. Probably not worth tracking down the top hat piece.

[ooc: Peter is affected. c:]

I imagine it would be. [Uninterested.] No offense but it sounds to me like your problem was, you weren't very good at choosing your 'friends'.

[myresponsibility]

He wasn't my friend.

[walkingmeltdown]

Ah. I'm beginning to understand your aversion to the experience, then.

[myresponsibility]

It's not like I'm traumatized or anything, it's just a lame board game.

[walkingmeltdown]

And you honestly think Pictionary is a better call? It's basically a glorified version of Hangman.

[myresponsibility]

It's still better than Monopoly.

[walkingmeltdown]

Agree to disagree, then. Not that I have any intention anyway of signing up to play any board game, even ones I have a vague memory of enjoying in what's practically another life.

[myresponsibility]

Why is it practically another life?

[walkingmeltdown]

Because I can't really remember the last time I played a board game, and I think no one on this dump has realized I'm fifty-eight years old. [...Dammit.]

[myresponsibility]

So? There are people here who are like, a hundred years old and haven't heard of board games. No one's going to judge you.

[walkingmeltdown]

I don't care about -- [Frustrated noise.] I wasn't actually going to say that, out loud. It just came out. What's going on around here?

[myresponsibility]

It's just a flood. I guess we have to tell the truth when people ask us questions.

[walkingmeltdown]

Oh. Terrific.

[myresponsibility]

It could totally be worse.

[walkingmeltdown]

You're clearly someone who doesn't put much value on your privacy.

[myresponsibility]

Because that's like, a given for me here? I can't tell you how many people have said they used to read comics about me. It's like finding out your video went viral in some foreign country you never planned on visiting without you noticing.

[walkingmeltdown]

Well, there are still plenty of things I presume no one here knows about me, and that I have absolutely no interest discussing.

If this is really how it's going to be, then I think I'm avoiding the phone for the rest of the day.

[myresponsibility]

Might want to make that the whole weekend.

[He just...makes a short, aggravated sound and hangs up. Sorry, Peter. Other things on his mind now.]
