Log;

Konata had planned a party to cheer up her friends after a rough month. But, as it happened, by the time the day came around, she needed some cheering up of her own. The apartment had already seemed empty, with Taiga and Minori, the big Shaoran, Arche and others gone, and with Li Shaoran leaving on top of that, she was feeling lonely in a way that MMORPGs alone couldn't remedy. So, a party. She thought she might feel better if she could fill up her social bar. With actual human contact, this time.

[Shader carried the plate of brownies up to the door of Konata's apartment and knocked.]

[mypace-musume.livejournal.com]

Konata opens the door immediately. She must have been waiting nearby.]

Hey Shader. Are those the famous caffeine brownies?

[brainsnotfists.livejournal.com]

Yep, where can I put them? [She looks around the apartment as she enters.]

[mypace-musume.livejournal.com]

Just on the kitchen counter is fine. Are they cut already?

[brainsnotfists.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[mypace-musume.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure if we should eat them early, because it's a workday tomorrow, or wait until late to get the full caffeine experience.

open to all~

[And this would be Uta, a bit more happy than usual, since she had a little date with... well, you know~]

Konata~~

[She knocked and called to her in a sing-song manner, pink cake box at hand.]

open to all~

[mypace-musume.livejournal.com]

U-ta~~ [Konata replied in a sing-songy voice, and opened the door.]

Hey, you don't look depressed at all. Where's the girl I was talking to the other day? Not that I miss her.

Ooh, cake. ♥

[songofdreams.livejournal.com]

She gone, I threw her out~ She was beginning to become a pain, so I had to do what I had to do, right?

[She winked at her. Of course, that wasn't the only reason.]

Yes, cake~ Strawberry shortcake, like you asked. What games are we playing tonight?

[mypace-musume.livejournal.com]

Well, good riddance.

Um, would you believe "whatever you want"? We have music games, fighting games, tabletop games... Have you ever tried a tabletop RPG?

[songofdreams.livejournal.com]

...I'm not even sure what tabletop RPG is.

[mypace-musume.livejournal.com]

Hmm, well... It's like a computer RPG, except that you play with a few other people, and it's a person, not the computer that decides what happens. So you can do anything, instead of just what the computer is programmed for. Get it?

[songofdreams.livejournal.com]

[Have Uta, stare blankly, at you.]

...s-sounds complicated.

[She lifts the cake box instead.]

How about this? Cake first, games later. I haven't had dessert yet~

[mypace-musume.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to me. [Konata takes the cake box from Uta and sets it on the counter next to Shader's brownies, and looks for plates.]

So, really, what happened between the other day and today?

[songofdreams.livejournal.com]

[...whoops, there's that troublesome blushing taking place.]

N-nothing... in particular?

[mypace-musume.livejournal.com]

That's an awfully red-cheeked "nothing in particular"...

[songofdreams.livejournal.com]

...er.

[On the verge of flailing~ in a good way.]

I just... had dinner with him... that's all.

[mypace-musume.livejournal.com]

[Geez, Uta, your scandalous stories are really boring.]

Well, I'm happy you're happy.

[songofdreams.livejournal.com]

[She can't help it, she's 14.]

Thank you~!

Now c'mon, you still have to teach me tabletop RPG~

[mypace-musume.livejournal.com]

Okay. It's sort of niche, so it's okay if you don't like it.

You know Shader, right?

[songofdreams.livejournal.com]

"Niche"?

And no, I don't know anyone named Shader. Who's that?

[mypace-musume.livejournal.com]

Um, it's sort of unusual. Not very many people do it. It's fun, but it's a lot of work for the person running the game - I think that'll be Shader this time - and you have to get everyone physically in the same place.

Still, it's a lot more flexible than a computer game because it's a human deciding how the story moves and enforcing the rules.

Shader is... Hmm. Do you know Chrono?

[songofdreams.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'll try anything once... Just don't let me lead the first time I play~

[Tilting head to the side...]

Mmm... Nope, no Crono either.

...do you know every single person in this City?

[mypace-musume.livejournal.com]

No, I don't.

Anyway, Chorno and Shader are both demons, but they're the nice kind, as far as it goes. Shader's from about our time, or a little earlier, and Chrono's from almost a century earlier. But they're siblings - I guess they're immortal or something.

Yeah, right... I don't believe you for one-
