What the ... what is this? -=Ed's mucking around in a place that had books and lifts one up. It's waterlogged, but the cover can still be seen=-

I've never seen this book before. I wonder if Al knows about it. -=he handles it carefully, reverently. Books are always cherished in his hands.=- I'll have to dry it out. -=Because, come on, there's a dragon on the cover! It's gotta be cool, right?=-


Anyone seen this here before in the library or anything?

[Oh. A book. But as she reads the title, Raven looks slightly disappointed.]

Player's handbook? Must be a game manual of some sort.

A game manual? -=he's holding it carefully, balancing both things as he trudges out of the sludge pile he was in.=- For what kind of game?

[Video]

[exarmatio]

Oh! Is that a fantasy book?

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[She shrugs.] I don't know. Something about knights fighting dragons apparently. The best way to find out is to read it.

[saintedsinner]

I guess so? It's wet- I have to dry it out to see what it really is. -=but if it's a dragon on the front cover, it probably is, right?=-

[Video]

[saintedsinner]

I won't be able to do that until it dries out. -=It looks old. There's a lot of water damage to it.=-

[Video]

[exarmatio]

Well, when you do, I'd like to see it, too!

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Can't you use alchemy to fasten the process?

[Video]

[saintedsinner]

Sure, Negi! I'm still scratching my head as to how it got here.

[Video]

[saintedsinner]

I can, but it'll still take time. I have to dry each page individually or else they'll stick.

[Video]

[exarmatio]

Maybe it floated in from somewhere else in the city?

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

I see. Then I reckon you'll have to wait a bit to know what it's about.

There's not too much damage at Solve, is there?

[Video]

[saintedsinner]

That's what I'm thinking, too. I doubt we'll ever know where it came from.

The second floor's relatively unharmed. That's where our bedrooms are. But the first floor... the basement's completely trashed.

[Video]

[exarmatio]

... Well, it's ours now, so. What does it say on the cover?

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

That's already something, I guess.

[Video]

[saintedsinner]

It says... "Official Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Players Handbook by Gary Gygax." And then there's small print on the lower part of the cover.

[Video]

[saintedsinner]

Maybe. It all depends on how well our structural modifications hold up to mold and rot, now.

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Can't you reinforce those a bit? Just to be safe.

[Video]

[saintedsinner]

It depends on whether we have material for it. And... -=he looks away for a moment.=-

I have to look for a cow.

It's a roleplaying game, which pretty much amounts to playing pretend but with more dice.

[Video]

[exarmatio]

Player's handbook? So it's... instructions for a game?

[Video]

[aangin-loose.livejournal.com]

I've never seen on like that before... but it says Player's handbook. Maybe it's for a game?

[Video]

[saintedsinner]

Guess so. -=But what kind of game, he wonders.=-

We'll have to find out once things settle around here.

[saintedsinner]

A roleplaying game? With dice. -=There weren't dice with the book.=-

Huh. I guess this is something from your world then, right?
