[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:]

Temporarily, maybe. I think you'd be kind of terrifying, but good at it?

[Peter you say the sweetest things. She grins.]

So, why does Dungeons and Dragons have a bad rap if it's so much better than monopoly?

[Anya is of the opinion that a game with special positions and provisions for power crazy psycho-ing must necessarily be quite interesting.]

Because it's something people think only nerds would ever want to play, and "normal" people apparently think liking Star Trek and Lord of the Rings makes you some kind of freak makes more sense than giving it a chance and seeing if they like it.

[fridgetothefire]

I love Lord of the Rings.

[She swallows, has to blink rapidly just a bit. Pietro would actually sit still for The Hobbit, and sometimes, when they were quite small and there wasn't as much terrorism to do, before they realized she was human and the twins weren't, Magneto would even drift in the doorway, listen for a chapter or two.]

Are you okay?

[fridgetothefire]

Yes. No. I'm on the verge of crying because those books are some of the only good family memories I have, and I haven't thought about them in forever, and everything is poisoned and ruined because I killed them.

And I've basically come to terms with all of that, so. I'll be okay. In a minute.

[Fucking flood.]

[It is not often that Peter thinks this, or would be willing to offer it, but.

Do you need a hug?]

... You know, this is still supposed to be a place for second chances.
