HENWEN

[soulping]

[You're wading in a low river, trying to advance as fast as you can--is the apparent setup, anyways. There's a table in the center of the room with a die to roll--and as you do so the world moves around you like some kind of VR deal. Everything looks, smells, and even sounds real… but it can't actually hurt you.]

[A monitor is lit up on the table. It reads: '24 spaces remain.']

ROUND 1

...So it's just a board game.

Who wants to try their luck?

Re: ROUND 1

[shiroganeheir]

I have a feeling my luck is abysmal, but I can go for it if no one else wants to.

Re: ROUND 1

[oblivionize]

I'm not very good at luck...

Re: ROUND 1

[wherethewildthingsare]

I can do it, I dunno if my luck is good or bad, though.

Re: ROUND 1

[wherethewildthingsare]

...I can do it, then.

Re: ROUND 1

[oblivionize]

O-Okay!

Re: ROUND 1

[shiroganeheir]

Well... let's see. We can switch it up, I would think.

ROLL - 4

OBSTACLE: THE IN LAWS

[fangirlitis]

[20 spaces remain]

[Suddenly, on a cropping of rocks in the middle of the river, the most terrifying thing anyone can see has appeared. Your in-laws, sitting around a low table. They gesture for you to have a seat, and before you can protest you're all sitting and having a delicious spot of tea.]

[You've got to make sure they don't make the rest of your life a living hell--what do you do?]

> Give a housewarming gift
> Talk about your job
> Talk about your future plans
> Run away
> Break into a killer guitar solo

If you bring them seasalt icecream ten you can be friends!

Re: Discuss

[shiroganeheir]

I believe is it polite to bring a gift when you visit people, so that would be my suggestion as well.

Talking about one's job or future plans could backfire terribly, depending on what they are.

Re: Discuss

[wherethewildthingsare]

...A gift does seem like the safest option...

I dunno about seasalt ice cream, though..

Although if we came up with a good job, we could probably get even more points.. maybe..

Re: Discuss

[wherethewildthingsare]

Yeah we'd have to.. come up with something good.

A gift is probably the smartest thing.

Re: Discuss

[oblivionize]

I don't know anything about those...

Re: Discuss

[oblivionize]

[ she heard that mister!!! ]

What's wrong with seasalt ice cream?!

Re: Discuss

[wherethewildthingsare]

[Oh god why.]

Well, traditionally, a housewarming gift is something for the home.

Re: Discuss

[oblivionize]

Ice cream is something for the home! It's an activity to all do together...

Re: Discuss

[shiroganeheir]

Do we have to come up with what kind of gift to give? Or just say that we give a gift?

I think we just need to choose an option. That is easier.

Re: Discuss

[shiroganeheir]

To be honest, neither do I.

Re: Discuss

[wherethewildthingsare]

Well yes, but usually it's something like.

A toaster.

Re: Discuss

[wherethewildthingsare]

We might get extra credit if we decide what to give.

Re: Discuss

[shiroganeheir]

Hm. Possible. What do people give? Dishware? Appliances?

Re: Discuss

[wherethewildthingsare]

Well.

Gold wants to give seasalt ice cream.

So we can do that.

Or.. y'know. A microwave.
