[shiro2hero]

Oh. It's going that well, huh?

[There's an apologetic little grimace there. Shiro... hasn't run into that issue. Yet.]

[fingersandteeth]

Eh. I figured it out.

[Eventually.]

[shiro2hero]

Well, that's good to hear.

... You didn't have to. Ask. Did you?

[fingersandteeth]

No, no. I got through it without needing to call Thace. Though I'm sure he'd have walked me through if I had.

[He actually sounds a little amused by the idea.]

What about... whatever you are? What are you, anyway? And how close is it to human?

[shiro2hero]

I'm sure he would have. He seems like that kind of guy.

[Which is refreshing, actually. Considering his current contact with non-threatening Galra is pretty limited.]

Pretty sure it's... Altean. At least I hope that's what it is. Allura and Romelle are the same. If you've met them.

[fingersandteeth]

[You can't see it very well because of his hood, but Steven has a little smile on his furry face.]

He is very much that kind of guy. Actually he's been one of my best friends these last few months. We met during the Sinnoh trip and really hit it off.

And— yeah, actually, I've met Allura. We used to be in a D&D game together for a little while, before our GM... left.

[shiro2hero]

Hey, I'm glad to hear that. I admit I don't know him that well, but - he's really seemed like a good one.

[Entirely different than uh. Other Galra he'd run into...]

... D&D?

[fingersandteeth]

Dungeons and Dragonites. It's a tabletop game.

[shiro2hero]

Tabletop game?

Like... checkers?

[fingersandteeth]

No, no. Like a pen and paper roleplaying game.

[shiro2hero]

Role... playing game?

[fingersandteeth]

... oh boy. I've got a lot to explain.

[shiro2hero]

Sorry.

I may be really out of touch.

[fingersandteeth]

I mean, you're from the future, right? I assume you're from the future relative to the 2010s, anyway. So I can see how it's just-- one of those things no one does anymore.

[shiro2hero]

I'm sure people do - but... I wasn't. Really aware of everything going on.

I had my head pretty firmly in space.

[fingersandteeth]

Well. You were an astronaut.

Tabletop games are a lot like playing pretend with your friends when you were little, but with much more math.

[shiro2hero]

A math game?

Are... you guys still playing?

[fingersandteeth]

It's complicated, but yeah, sort of. And we're not, unfortunately. Our dungeon master—the person running the game—disappeared in October.

[He sounds kind of subdued there—it's kind of obvious he misses them.]

[shiro2hero]

I'm sorry.

[Maybe he shouldn't have asked. But he was curious about the game and... well. Here they are. He grimaces, then reaches out (and up) to pat the other man on the shoulder.]

Maybe... sometime you could get another group together?

[fingersandteeth]

I'd like that, actually, [Steven says, his head under the cloak hood turning just a little.] Though I might want to find someone else to run it. I've got the reputation of being a killer DM back home.

[shiro2hero]

You know, some people here might take that as a challenge.

[fingersandteeth]

[Steven laughs.] I've had that before. Eventually people get tired of TPKs.

[shiro2hero]

... TPK?

[fingersandteeth]

Total party kill.

[shiro2hero]

[The blankest of blank stares.]

[Total what.]
