week one

Week 1

[After the initial introduction of the Overseers, the Champions were left to their own devices in investigating the part of the ship they have access to to their hearts' content. However, the doors that Blaze Dudely and Rox came through are locked tight and cannot be unlocked via PIP.

On Wednesday morning, the same voice that awakened them the previous morning chirps at them again from their PIPs at 7 am on the dot.



Enjoy your week, Champions.]

Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

...fuck, why not? [He'll just go for the free book, then!] I haven't played this since high school. Looks like a different version?

[dejabrew]

Boy, is it. [He says, who hasn't played since high school either.] It looks like they streamlined the math to focus more on the storytelling.

[theundertaken]

Works for me. You know what they say about art kids, we can't do math.

[Actually he's not the worst at it but he is pretty lazy. Flip, flip, flip.]

New races in this one.

[dejabrew]

Huh? [He peeks.] Oh, yeah. You want to play one of them? They're pretty radical.

[theundertaken]

I’m gonna play a birdman.

[He’s literally looking at the page with the correct name on it, but come on they’re birdmen.]

[dejabrew]

Do it, dude. Live your dreams. Be that birdman.

[theundertaken]

Caw-caw, motherfucker.

[Reachin for that character sheet.]

[dejabrew]

[Max you are not from far enough in the timeline for Homestuck

Bolton laughs and passes over one of the character sheets and a pencil.]

Let me know if you need help rolling.

[theundertaken]

I'm like, eighty percent sure I remember how to do this.

[Let's see heeeeere...]

[dejabrew]

Radical.

[Doot doot doo rolling characters... He's working on his own using the PHB right now.]

[theundertaken]

Tuuuuuuuuubular.

[And he lapses into silence for a little bit because this actually takes some concentration, okay. Party balance is a thing, though, even if Bolton's the DM.]

What're you doing?

[dejabrew]

Working on my character. Kind of like the companion NPC.

And probably babysitter.

[theundertaken]

[well no shit sherlock he can see you've got a character sheet]

What class?

[dejabrew]

Rogue. Assassin subclass.

Tiefling, if you're curious.

[theundertaken]

Yeah? I'm going monk.

[dejabrew]

Monk's a good one.

I'm thinking about going ahead and starting everyone off at level 3 instead of level 1, what specialty are you thinking?

[theundertaken]

Way of the Open Hand. What's the point of being a monk if you can't punch everything and everyone?

[THAT'S what monks do]

[dejabrew]

[Bolton laughs.]

Wouldn't an open hand technically be more like, you know-

[He mimes a pimp hand.]

[theundertaken]

[Max laughs.]

It is a shitty name! I thought it was gonna be, like, diplomacy? But no, just punching things. With a presumably-closed hand.

[dejabrew]

So you're going to deliver truth and justice with the power of your fists. Are you going to augment your punches somehow? Brass knuckles or something?

[theundertaken]

Bolton, please, this is a man of the cloth!

[dejabrew]

Clearly you and I have not met the same priests.
