phonetasmal | [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.

it's cool I just get annoyed when people try to dance around it like it's some sort of horrible disease conversation landmine

like just suck it up I'm the one who has to live with it

I literally have no idea how I was conceived (okay I mean THAT WAS NOT LITERAL) but the fact that it happened is at least proof that you can have sex without dying and have boneitis

just maybe not kinky demon sex

Lust finds a way?

But yeah, it's definitely an appropriate-caution type of thing.

[Pidonus is going to assume the disease is ACTUALLY CALLED boneitis if not corrected, note. Might be funnier that way.]

[ Marla still thinks seagulls are called "Bagels", she's not exactly the correcting type. ]

the spirit is willing but the bones are brittle and pathetic

you might say

I wonder if there's anything that could help the condition as a whole amongst the higher technology or magic levels around here, actually... But it's not my place to be all "Could this work? Could this work?" either.

i mean i got regenerating powers now so i can just unfuck myself

after being fucked

in both senses of the word

That's less bad, but as someone with some regeneration... Pain still hurts, you know?

yeah i'm not super into that

Right. No perverse activities without like Bear's Endurance or something to enhance your Fortitude. If that'd even help. Which... Uh, I'd rather not test, since aforementioned pain?

...

what's a bear

... Uh. Large, brown or black fur, giant claws?

Should've known the creature variance from world to world would cause some differences.

that describes like half of your shitty earth mammals

like you gotta know this but

I spent like two weeks pointing at shit and going "is this a dog"

... Plan B! One second.

[And then, attached: A hasty sketch of a bear, clearly drawn by someone used to using a pen instead of their finger.]

oh

those things

I think I saw a couple in the first alternate universe I ended up in but never up close

They hurt. Dont' screw with them.

oh believe me like fuck am I gonna

back home we got bears that can shoot lasers and shit out of every orifice

Templated monsters are weird stuff.

they can also create earthquakes

but if you have the right instructional DVDs anything, theoretically, can shoot lasers out of at least one orifice

Wait. DVDs can do that? I knew they were for video but...

have you ever seen any of those workout videos

the ones that are all NOW WORK THOSE GLUTES LADIES

Nope. Lower-tech world and all.

oh

my mom uses them sometimes

they just have a person working out and showing you what you're supposed to do and you

also work out?

do they have embarrassing looking workout routines in your world at least

Well, yeah, a lot of knight divisions use these ones that take hours to go through completely and don't seem to make a lot of sense.

Fighters are weird, in my experience.

Yeah, tell me about it.

[ Her sister specializes in fighting types...]

... Mind, there's definitely weirder out there even just on my world...

i've been worldhopping so long that nothing really seems weird anymore, tbh
