Hey people! [Dipper grins, bouncing on his heels. If he hasn't slept much since the event, it's hard to tell, but considering how much sleep he got that weekend, it's really all averaged out to his usual semi-exhausted state.]

It's been a while and we've got a lot of new people so I thought it was time to remind people about the weekly game I'm running.

[He holds up an epic looking box.]

Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons! Which is pretty similar to something called Dungeons and Dragons or Warlocks and Warriors or probably some other magic stuff and other magic stuff that's found in any number of different worlds. It's tabletop roleplay, and it's awesome. If you're interested in escaping this weird fantasy world for a different, better weird fantasy world where you can fight evil and do magic and be awesome, let me know. Or just show up. I can help you make a character and show you the rule book.

[A beat.]

It… doesn't require as much math as you think it does. But you still might want to bring a calculator.

[she frowns.] Yes.

[it's not something she did a whole lot of ... being a lab, so her reading level is probably pretty low, but she's doing okay. ish.]

Just making sure! [This is so awkward.] Well I can help you find it if you want, or show you the movie, or we can just make a character without that for background. It is a good introduction to high fantasy, though.

The movie is part of the game?

No, but it's a good primer on what to expect from the world. It basically defined high fantasy.

[she's not exactly sure what he just said so she decides to just accept it.]

Okay. I will watch.

Cool. I can watch it with you to help with any questions you have? I haven't actually seen that version of it, but I'm pretty familiar with the genre.

[His world has different movies.]

Okay. ... How do I watch?

Well, they probably have it in the library? We can get it and watch it in the movie theater.

I'll go to the library. [gently makes him watch lotr RIGHT THE FUCK NOW ]

[o-oh okay.] Now? Uh, okay. I'll be there.
