[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:]

He was a really sensitive guy. Rough homelife, picked on cause he didn't take after his dad. So-- being good at this one thing was important.

But he did eventually grow up, mellow out. Just took time and patience. He's still kind of arrogant, but for a while he was a good cop because of his big brain. Not that Gotham likes good cops -- they tried to put him in the ground because he wouldn't take payoffs. The Rogues inherited him then.

[myresponsibility]

Well, glad it more or less worked out.

[sickjoke]

In the end, most things work out if you work at them.

[myresponsibility]

That's more optimistic than I'm used to seeing people around here.

[sickjoke]

Yeah I've noticed that optimism is rare as jackalopes around here.

[myresponsibility]

I don't know, the CES might be able to show you some of those.

[sickjoke]

Think so? I've never been in there. Big fat city boy, that's me.

[myresponsibility]

Man, I'd give anything for it to be able to make buildings.

[sickjoke]

Oh yeah. Give us some urban ruins, even, if there can't be people in it. First port we get to with buildings over three stories and I'm going to climb all of them.

[myresponsibility]

Don't forget to pack your costume, it's kind of hilarious watching people try to figure out what to make of you when they don't have any superheroes.

[sickjoke]

You say that like I'm ever out of costume.

[myresponsibility]

Hey, keeping a spare bag on hand still might come in handy.

[sickjoke]

Yeah, probably. Never travel with only one tux; Red Hood Rule #3.

[myresponsibility]

Is it easy to fight in? It looks kinda... heavy.

[sickjoke]

I manage, but it's my own personal lightweave kevlar, so it's not like fighting in a proper tux you go to the opera in.

[myresponsibility]

Cool. How'd you come up with it?

[sickjoke]

By accident. But all the great things are found that way, aren't they.

[myresponsibility]

I guess so. My stuff all seemed like a lot of weird coincidences.

[sickjoke]

How do you mean?
