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

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.

Ugh, tell me about it. I'm lucky to get within a decade in the new one.

It has a resurgence in popularity between the ninth and eleventh centuries, but that was primarily as a fortune-telling tool. The one I have is from that period, and...

Well, see for yourself.

Oh, you have no idea. This is really just scratching the iceberg, we've had any number of ridiculous things.

They're a quite good magic focus and excellent for warping, actually, if you're interested I'll trade you for the crossbow.

No, I do not, thank you, it's rather difficult to obtain new weapons for it when you don't have a body. I have my rapier, your sword, and these.

You would be my favorite brother even if we had others.

I'll be on the deck for a while yet.
