[Video] In which Pidonus finds a thing!

[have_hat_will_travel]

So I decided to ask a drone for things for being less bored, and it found something!

[Pidonus dramatically tosses her phone up into the air, then mutters something, the camera stopping directly above her pointed down, where she holds up... a copy of "The Settlers of Catan", a box of some decks of Poker cards, and a copy of Munchkin.]

Board games! And cards! A start to the solution for the boredom problem!

This is a good day! To do things! Who's interested?!

[And then the phone drops to the ground, thankfully not damaged, but the camera going dark as it lands on the floor. Pidonus apparently failed to keep her concentration on the Prestidigitation effect. Also, all the stuff's shrink-wrapped... Huh.]

[Goro looks a little windswept when he replies, though he's quickly fixing his hair with one hand.]

I've never really had the chance to play games like that before...I'd be happy to give them a try.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Never had... Time?

Sheesh, the more I hear about your life the more screwed-up it seems...

[foolishjustice]

I've...occasionally had time, but I didn't have anyone I would have been able to play with until recently. All of the games I own are single player for that reason.

[He runs the hand he'd been using to fix his appearance through his hair, slightly mussing it again.]

But that's in the past now. I'm sure a lot of the people here will be eager to do something to pass the time until we have the means to push the Fissures back a little.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Exactly!

Though one of these seems kinda weird.

[She's looking at Munchkin of course.]

[foolishjustice]

But doesn't that just make you curious? Maybe you should open it and see how it's played.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Mmm. You're right. I mean, I'm pretty sure it's not a cursed game or anything.

[foolishjustice]

Cursed game...like Jumanji?

[Shut up, he's allowed to like movies that are older than he is.]

I certainly hope nothing like that turns up here.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Jumanji's barely the start of the chaos of cursed games.

[How she gets that reference isn't clear, but.]

[foolishjustice]

I'm sure I could think of others, that's just the first that came to mind.

But, since you said it doesn't seem to be cursed, why don't you open it and see what it is?

[have_hat_will_travel]

Sure.

[Pidonus puts the phone down on her bed, causing the screen to go black. Goro hears the crinkle of removed shrinkwrap, then the ruffle of cards being shuffled through...]

... It's puns.

It's all puns.

[foolishjustice]

It sounds quite punishing to the unprepared, then.

[Chuckling a little at his own joke.]

Sorry. It sounds fun.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... Ow. Just. A pun like that, it hurts almost literally.

Who would do this???

[foolishjustice]

Someone who's fond of wordplay, I would presume. Or someone with a sadistic streak aimed toward people who don't appreciate puns.

[have_hat_will_travel]

That is a very specialized form of Chaotic Evil.

[foolishjustice]

Or spite from someone who had their jokes insulted one too many times.

So, are you going to share some examples?

[have_hat_will_travel]

We can save that for when we try to play, I think...
