"Histy! They should be here in a while!"

"So, you were actually able to get all of them to agree to play? Do they even know what sort of game this is?"

Neptune shrugs with a giggle, "Of course they do! Although I don't know if they know how to play the game outside of it's just rolling dice and doing numbers, also what are you wearing Histy?"

Histoire straightens her purple, pointed, starry hat, while pulling the sleeves on her similarly designed robe. "I thought I'd get into the proper outfit for the occasion."

"But the whole robe and hat...?"

Their conversation gets interrupted, as the elevator bell rings, indicating its arrival. The doors open and Noire, Vert, and Blanc enter the Planeptune penthouse. The three of them approach the table where Histoire and Neptune are, all the while looking at Histoire's odd choice of clothing.

Noire speaks up first, inspecting the robe Histoire is wearing. "It's quite cute on you Lady Histoire."

"Did you make it yourself?" asks Vert.

"I don't think she could've bought one..." adds in Blanc.

"Yes, thank you, you three. Now, do you know what kind of game Neptune has roped all of you into?" says Histoire, folding her arms.

"I believe this is a tabletop game, correct? Dungeons and Dragons?" answers Vert.

"That is correct. Now, do any of you know how to play atleast?"

Noire, scratches her head, and shakes it. Blanc does the same, while Vert thinks about it, then shakes her head.

Histoire takes a deep sigh, with a look of defeat. "This is going to be a long night, but okay, I've spent the last 3 days going through the books, so let's start with character creation."

"Here's your sheets!" says Neptune, giving everyone sheets of paper.

"Let's see... Name, Race, Class... Level, Feats... this is quite a list," comments Vert.

Neptune begins to pick up various dice, and shakes them excitedly in her hands. "This is when we roll the dice right!?"

"No! Hold on, stop, what dice are those?" says Histoire.

"Uh, this one has a zero, and a 9, uh..." replies Neptune, inspecting the die.

"That would be a 10-sided die, or a d10, which is not what you use for your character stats."

"I believe what you use are four d6's, correct?" pipes in Vert.

"...Yes, actually that's correct Miss Vert."

Neptune lets go of the dice she has on hand, and brings a box of assorted dice. "Okay then! Teach me, Histy!"

"...Right. Okay, get four of those d6's, roll all of them, take the lowest one out, take note of the total, and repeat it 5 more times, for a total of six, one for each of your stats. After that, you can assign them to each of your stats, which is Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. Wait a minute, Neptune, have you even decided on a class yet?"

"Um, yeah! Of course! Let me roll my dice first."

Neptune picks up 4 purple dice then rolls it. The first throw results in, two 1's, a 6 and a 2.

"Aaaaah! No! Bad dice! I got a total of ... 9?!"

The rest of the table chuckle at Neptune's poor luck as she rolls another set of dice.

The second throw, one 4, 1, 2, and finally a 3.

"Histy are these dice rigged against me?! It's another 9!" she cries out.

"Some would say that 9 is the strongest," Blanc flatly states.

Neptune looks frustrated as she blows on the four dice in her hand before throwing them down.

Five. Two. Six. Three.

"Much better! A fourteen."

She continues to roll the rest.
A three, one, six and a five, for another 14.
A six, two fives, and a three, for 16.
Neptune's final roll comes out as three fives, and a two, for a 15. She still looks miffed at the first two rolls as she keeps staring at the 9s in her list of numbers. The other goddesses begin to roll their own sets, knowing how to do it after watching Neptune.

"Okay, I'll go next," says Blanc, picking up a set of blue dice.

She nonchalantly throws the four dice. The dice show up as, two 3s, a 2, and a 6, for a result of 12. She gives a slightly smug smirk towards Neptune as she throws the rest of her sets.
"3, two 6s, and a 5, for 17."
"3, two 5s, and 6, for 16."
"A quadruple 4, for 12."
"Two 2s, 6, and 4, for another 12."
"Two 3s, one 2, and one 4, for an average 10."

Blanc writes down her numbers, and looks at Vert and Noire. "How about you two?"

"I shall go next," proclaims Vert, taking hold of 4 green dice, one in each gap of her fingers and thumb. Expertly rolling the dice on the table with a spin.

"Miss Vert, are you quite sure that this is the first time you've played with dice?" asked Histoire, watching the dice spin on the table.

"Stop showing off, Vert," says Blanc, unimpressed.

"I just feel that rolling them in this manner would provide me better results," retorts Vert, in a matter-of-fact tone.

The dice slow down and show the results, two 4s, and two 2s. A flat 10.

Blanc smirks as Vert notes down the result and picks up the dice again. Looking a bit embarrassed about the previous results, Vert rolls the rest of her sets without flair.

Two 6s, 5, and 3.
Two 6s, 2, and 1.
6, 2, 1, 5.
4, 5, 2, 4.
Two 1s, 4, 6.

"To tally, that would be... 10, 17, 14, two thirteens, and an 11. I believe the max would be an 18, so having 17 is quite nice. Lady Histoire, would it be fine for me to say what class I would like to be?"

"Perhaps, it would be best for everyone to have their statistic scores first, but, I suppose it wouldn't do harm, go ahead Miss Vert."

"I would like to roll as the party cleric," pronounces Vert.

The rest of the table seems ecstatic at her choice, except Blanc. She lightly slams on the table, and looks at Vert with a suspicious stare.

"What are you planning here..."

"What do you mean, Blanc? I just want to ensure that the party has a dedicated healer, and as I frequent MMOs, I know that finding someone willing to roll a healer is an arduous task, anyway we can discuss further on that, but for now let's let Noire roll her dice."

Noire picks up a set of black dice, "Thank you, Vert."

She shakes the dice in her hand before letting them roll off her hand. She continues to do roll them like this until she got her full set.

Two 3s, 5, and 6.
5, 2, 4, and 3.
Two 3s, 4, and 5.
Two 1s, 4, and 5.
2, 4, 5, and 1.
Three 6s, and a 5.

Vert's eyes widened slightly as she saw Noire's final roll, silently clicking her tongue, seeing that she wasn't the one with the highest natural stat.

"Let's see here... 14, two twelves, 10, 11 and an 18! That's pretty good!"

"Yes, Miss Noire, that's quite a lucky roll, but we're not done yet, now that everyone has their stats, or should I say ability scores settled, please decide what class and race you would like to be, remember that depending on what race you select, your ability scores can be modified, and to make things simpler, we're only using the ones in the Player's Handbook."

"What?! We're not using the other books?! That's like not using any DLC!" Vert blurts out, looking shocked and appalled.

"Hold on, Vert, I thought you didn't know how to play? How did you know there are more books?" asks Noire.

Everyone has their eyes on Vert, as her eyes dart around, as if she did a heinous crime. "Y-yes, I don't know how to play, but, I mentioned to some of my guild, yes, that I'll be away for some nights to play, and they mentioned that there are more books than what we have right now..."

"Is that so, Miss Vert? Well, since we're all new, it would be best that we stick with the basics, so we don't get overwhelmed," commented Histoire.

Noire shrugs. "I guess that makes sense."

Vert visibly relaxes in her seat again, as she looks over her results once more. Neptune is still staring at her two 9s, while Blanc and Noire are reading the Player's Handbook.
