You wait for her.

You stand there quietly. Vanessa walks over to you and tugs you inside, closing the door behind you. “This sexy little thing. You clean up pretty nice don’t you. Is my new roommate, Alex.” She then points at the guy sitting at the head of the table and goes around the table pointing at each as she talks, “This is our magnificent dungeon master Steve. Next to him is our happy couple, on his left is Bobby, his girlfriend Yvonne. Last but not least is my brother from another mother, Daniel.” They all nod or say high as they are introduced.

“Hi everybody.” You say, using a slightly higher pitch than you normally do without really thinking about it till after the fact.

Vanessa drags you over to the table. “You know if you are going to be living with me for the next three years or so you should probably make a character.”

“A character?”

“Ya, you know Dungeons and Dragons. Tell me you have played dungeons and dragons before, right?”

We’ll have you?

Yes, true.

Yes, lie.

No, true.

No, lie.
