Two and Half Women, Oh...and Carlos:
DUNGEON CRAWLER EDITION
"Thank you Maxim, for watching the girls for us!" Stephanie waved to the tall man, who waved back, "We'll be back in a few days!"
"No problem, Steph, Carlos, I'll make sure Diesel doesn't kiss Heidi!" Maxim boomed, making Carlos hiss as he pulled out the driveway, "And I'll make sure Julie behaves herself."
"I'd like to see you-urgh…" Julie let out a groan as Maxim lifted her up with ease with one hand and shook her lightly, "…Okay…you win, I'm getting dizzy! You 6'11 monster!"
"S'what I thought," Maxim looked down at Heidi and Julie before smiling brightly, "Now, let's go spend the weekend having a crap ton of fun! Look at what I got!"
Diesel, Heidi and Julie scuttle closer as Maxim pulled out four tickets, "I got us four VIP tickets to the annual Daredevil Fair!"
"OH! The fair where we can use a real life grenade launcher?"
"The fair with the hardcore lab, filled to the brim with enough chemicals to flatten the West Coast?"
"The fair where we can eat all the food we want for free?!"
"That one an only fair, I got us tickets and we are going to have a hell of a time there tomorrow!" Maxim boomed again, causing the three children to cheer along with him, "Now! Let's order pizza and eat like there's no tomorrow!"
"Yeah!"
(~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)
"Ugh, my back," Maxim groaned as Heidi rolled off the couch and onto his back, "For a seven year old, you're awfully heavy."
Maxim pulled Heidi off him and sat up, sniffing at his shirt and frowning at the smell of pizza sauce, "Yuck.." He got up and walked over to the kitchen and stopped hearing something hard hitting the window, "Huh?"
Maxim's eyes widened and he went over to the window, "What…WHAT….WHAT?! NOOOOOOOO!"
"Where's the-NO!" Julie ran up to Maxim and joined in his screaming.
"Huh, why are you-" Diesel looked inside the kitchen and then began to join in the screaming.
"Oh, look, it's raining!" Heidi clapped her hands, excited.
"We can't launch grenades in the rain!"
"We can't eat food in the rain!"
"We can't do anything at the Daredevil Fair in the rain!" Maxim wailed, grabbing at his hair, "I spent 1600 bucks on these tickets!"
"Huh, why's everyone crying, it's raining, you know we've been in a drought for-" Heidi started but Julie slapped her upside the head, "Ow!"
"Dingus, we can't go to the fair in rain like this!" Julie snarled, looking down at her sister, "No dangerous laboratory!"
"Oh…." Heidi opened her mouth wide,inhaled and then cried out, "NOOOOOOOOOO!"
Five minutes later, all four of them were in front of the TV, watching the weather channel.
"Unless you're a duck, going outdoors is a no-go. Torrential rains and storms all day, and on another note, the Daredevil Fair has been cancelled and all tickets sales are final, no refunds folks."
"How dare you say that to me, 1600 bucks down the drain, I'm getting my lawyer and-" Maxim got up and grabbed the TV, raging in Russian.
"Oh no, not again," Diesel sighed, watching as his father pulled the cords out of the TV.
"What in the hell is your dad doing, Vashmen?" Julie pushed Heidi back, watching as the TV came off the stand hook, "Seriously, your dad is on a rampage, is he about to chuck the TV across the room?!"
"Uh..maybe not-no, not across the room," Diesel sighed as Maxim lugged the TV across the room, slide the side door open and tossed the TV out the house, the three children wincing at the sound of the TV breaking outside in the rain, "That's a first…."
"Take that, you-oh shit, I just threw the TV out in the rain…" Maxim groaned, covering his eyes, "W-what in the hell was wrong with me?!"
"Oh…Momma Vashmen is gonna get you!" Heidi giggled as the three children stood near the side door, "She liked that TV."
"We're not going to tell her, alright?" Maxim looked over to three children, "Right….?"
"I don't know…maybe I need something to stuff my pockets with…" Julie looked over to Maxim, "Keeping Momma Vashmen in the dark ain't cheap."
"Son of a gun, I forgot I have Julie Manoso in my house," Maxim sighed and then placed his hands on his hips, "How Much?"
"I'll keep this deed over your head for a while, what I want isn't here, yet." Maxim groaned and Julie cackled.
(~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)
With the TV now out of commission and the trip to fair cancelled, our three young characters were left with nothing to do. Julie sat upside on the couch, contemplating her next strike against Diesel. Diesel lay on the ground imagining kissing Heidi and Heidi was in a side closet, looking for treasure.
"Ugh….Diesel amuse me," Julie looked over to the boy who laid out on the floor, with his pillow covering his face, "I'm bored!"
"I can kiss Heidi in front of yo-"
"I'll beat you black and blue." Diesel wilted under Julie's glare, "I mean, I think I got some toys…"
"Boring!" Julie sat up on the couch and crossed her legs, looking around the posh looking living room, "Bah, this looks like it came right out of an Ikea store, why is your mom so fancy?"
"I don't know," Diesel said, sitting up, looking at Julie, "Why are you a mean spirited girl?"
"Wanna knuckle sandwich you-" Julie started but the sound of tumbling boxes had her and Diesel looking over to a closet, "Ghost?"
"Nope, ghosts aren't real, it's just me," Heidi stumbled out of the closet, holding a worn leather case to her chest, "Look at what I found, it's a cool thing, called Dungeon Crawlers, what do you suppose it is?"
"I don't know," Diesel got up and went over to Heidi, looking down at her find, "Looks like a game, wanna play it?"
"Looks like it's going to be complicated, I'm in," Julie rolled off the couch and over to the two, "Well, let's take it to the table and crack that baby open, I want to see what's inside of it!"
The three raced over to the table and opened the case to reveal a book, a board, a multitude of dice in a range of different colors and shapes, and notebooks, lots and lots of notebooks.
"What the hell kind of game is this?" Julie sighed, opening the book that had a group of people on it, posing, "Ugh, it's one of those table top games, only nerds play this type of games!"
"Hey, my old Dungeon Crawler game, man, I remember my time in college, playing this game! I was Dungeon Master for 9 years!" Maxim walked into dining room and over to the children, "You guys gonna play? You're going to need a Dungeon Master, I'll be Dungeon Master!
"Figures it was your game," Julie sighed but then she looked over to the man, "How do we play?"
"Well, I can help you all pick a character, stats, special moves, etc," Maxim sat down, "There's the Warrior Class, The Mage Class, the Thief Class and the Healing Class. Major note here, the healing class is the most important-"
"I wanna be a warrior!" Julie slapped the table, hard, "I wanna have a sharp axe and bombs!"
"I want to use magic and a bow!" Diesel picked up one of the twigs that rested in a vase and pointed it in the air, "Fire and lightning!"
"And I want to be a healer, cause, logically, that's the best class to be, I don't fight!" Heidi smiled brightly.
"….Erm…sure, why the heck not," Maxim sighed, opening the playing book, "Okay, pick out cool names, and we'll go from there!"
The three children whispered amongst each other furiously before they turned to Maxim and nodded their heads. Maxim nodded back to them, "Okay, kids, what are your names?"
"I am Badass The Bomber!" Julie punched her chest, looking smug, "The Best heavy weapons person east of Narnia!"
"I am McCool Spell, the leading world class, elven mage!" Diesel stood on his chair, but Maxim pulled him down.
"And I am Heidi! Heidi the Healer!" Julie and Diesel groaned at Heidi's name but Heidi would not be swayed,so Heidi the Healer she stayed.
"Warriors and Healer, are you all prepared to face adventures, go on quests and hunt for treasures?" Maxim asked, his voice getting serious as he put on a warlock hat ("Oi, where did you get that?") "Yes? Then let us go, the world of Starsia awaits us!"
TBC….
And thus, their quest begins! Smell Ya Later
