[Eddie would have preferred the theatrics of the drama room, but he did his best to set up an imposing angle for his message. ]

I’m thinking a lot of us could use a chance to blow off some steam, hmm? Lots of work to do around here, and weird ass monsters to fight, but not a whole lot in the way of recreation.

Back home I ran a group called Hellfire Club. Led us in some of the most epic D&D campaigns Hawkins Indiana ever saw. And I was thinking…I could offer my services as Dungeon Master here if people were interested.

Beggars can’t be choosers and I know we have a lot of people who’ve never played, so- lucky you- I’ve decided to open up admission to first timers. Little bonus- anyone who joins gets a Hellfire Mk2 shirt of their very own.

[He shifts to show off the new design he’s printed, a proud smirk on his face.]

I’ll be at the diner this week for people to sell me on their characters. If it’s your first go, I’ll have sheets prepared and can help you fill them out.

[Oh, he loves this guy. Eddie's silent as he shifts to look at Richie's pages, listening with an increasing wide grin.]

...Fuck, man, where were you when I needed you, hmm?? This is awesome! I can work with this. We can do some epic shit. You are going to be a pain in my ass aren't you? [Some of the best players were, and Eddie looks eager to experience the unexpected twists the story will take with someone like Richie playing.]

[ Richie loves this guy right back. Where was he for all this time? They could have been getting up to all sorts of trouble. He needs to bring York into their little group ASAP. It would be mayhem. ]

Oh, the worst, dude. I once got kicked from a game because I rolled a Nat20 on seducing a dragon. The DM was so pissed off. It was awesome.

[the_freak]

[Seriously, he could kiss him. Eddie gives a wicked grin, mind running through a million and one ways he might have run with that roll and cursing the DM that hadn't had fun with it.]

Oh, did he think think he was playing a serious game about fucking dragons? [Not that Eddie doesn't take this shit very seriously, but it's a game for a reason. What kind of DM couldn't weave something fun around that?]

[mrsklover]

I think 'fucking dragons' was the problem, there.

[ Richie waggles his eyebrows before breaking out into laughter. God, it's really nice to have someone on the same wavelength again. Like talking to his younger self. For the first time since Eddie left, Richie doesn't feel every inch of his 40+ years. ]

Alright, alright. The guy's gonna be human. Boring, I know, but how much can we give the dude? His name's Rolfor Nichtiv.

[ Richie smiles, innocently. ]

[the_freak]

[Eddie joins him in his laughter. This guys all right. Kind of reminds him of Rick. An adult that doesn't feel so...adulty, just a guy he can chill out with and have fun.

And poor Eddie, he doesn't catch the name, though he does note the too innocent smile, eying him suspiciously.]

That works. Sounds kind of Russian.

[mrsklover]

Yeah, it does, sort of.

[ If Eddie didn't figure it out yet, Richie isn't gonna blow the joke. Instead he just reaches his hand out making little grabby motions with his fingers. ]

Dice, please! Must roll stats. Unless you wanna do it some other way? I don't want him OP, but he's gotta be a higher level for maximum chaos. Enough that a good or bad roll can really shift things.

[the_freak]

You gonna do an accent?

[Those are always fun. Richie looks like the type who could pull it off.]

Nah- player's choice. [Eddie welcomes Richie to roll, handing over the dice set that came with his special gift.] We're going to be dealing with a lot of newbies, so I wanna be flexible.

[mrsklover]

[ Oh, this guy has no idea about Richie and his Voices. This was gonna be fun. ]

Yeah, I might pick up an accent or two. Change it up every game or so. Rolfor likes people to be kept in the dark about his past.

[ Richie grins as he rolls for his stats and makes a few adjustments here and there. The smile turns wistful at a certain point and he can't help a small sigh. ]

This really takes me back, man. I can't even remember the last time I played... I forgot how much I liked it. Forgot a lot of shit, thanks Pennywise. But yeah. This...I definitely forgot this.
