[Text] un: have_hat_will_travel, subject: Board Game Night?

[have_hat_will_travel]

Okay, so, we've obviously had some crap going down the last little bit. I've got one full-disclosure, and then one recommendation.

First, the full disclosure about my nature: I am a Succubus, a demon of lust and desire. No, I do not 'hunger' for the lifeforce of the living. Yes, that does mean I can influence people's minds in various ways. And Yes, that means I'm inherently strongly predisposed to both Chaotic and Evil tendencies; in my world, both of those are capitalized concepts with pretty clear definitions.

I have promised, and I'd like to keep to this promise, to not use my powers on people here unless they literally ask for it, or for my own self-defense. Also, I will be deeply worried about anyone who asks for being mentally influenced; I'm not exactly a therapist, but I'm pretty sure that isn't healthy.

That's not the important part of this post, though I'm sure I'll get questions about it.

Here's the important part: Who here, besides me, has gotten their hands on some board games? I don't have enough for a game night for the newly-expanded group at this station, and most of the ones I've gotten are... Weird, in various ways, but I'd like to work on what I can here.

Because right now, we need at least a useful semblance of camaraderie. And since I'm keeping to above-mentioned promise, that means teambuilding somehow or other, and this is my first crack at doing something about it.

Feel free to offer ideas in-person; room 21.

Oh. Okay.

Board games... I haven't. But we can probably make one. Weird how?

I feel like the fourth wall's weak around this game relative to my world.

[nojohnyouare]

...=I know someone who lives in a gag anime. Are you like that.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... I really hope not given the whole horrific war situation I was involved with?

[nojohnyouare]

Then what did you mean? About games and the fourth wall.

[have_hat_will_travel]

This game's like. A parody of worlds that run on rulesets like what my world runs on? Kinda.

Most people's worlds don't use rulesets like mine, though, so...

[nojohnyouare]

Oh. Nostalgic? Something like that. ...Though your world doesn't sound great.

[have_hat_will_travel]

It's not. But returning to my Queen is more important than my wishes about going to someplace better.

[nojohnyouare]

Devoted. Understandable. Everyone has someone they care about.

[have_hat_will_travel]

She's basically all I have back home, now. I got my vengeance, after all.

[nojohnyouare]

Revenge... I keep hearing about that. Maybe it's common to people who come here. Or maybe not.

[have_hat_will_travel]

I doubt it, given Izunia among others...

[nojohnyouare]

What about him?

[have_hat_will_travel]

He just doesn't strike me as much for vengeance.

[nojohnyouare]

He doesn't? I don't know much about him. Only that his situation is complicated.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... He's a kinder sort than the likes of me.

[nojohnyouare]

I expected different. ...Actually, I'm not sure what I expected. I never heard much about him.

[have_hat_will_travel]

The story of him and those around him is.. Complicated, I know that much. His world is not a nice place.

[nojohnyouare]

Very complicated. I thought I knew everything. Then more came out. ...A lot more.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Yup. Kind of spooky in a way. Then again, many stories have their twists and turns. Some just go a lot longer with them than others.

[nojohnyouare]

Ardyn is one of us. But I didn't know his side until recently. Just that they were close, and then they were enemies.

[have_hat_will_travel]

I guess what you and he went through put a lot of that into perspective, huh...

[nojohnyouare]

So you know already. It's not surprising. It's public knowledge there.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Didn't know about it before arriving here... Or a while after, actually, but the truth of it's come out, yes.

[nojohnyouare]

Everyone knows there, too. Though not at home. So this is like being back in space.
