Monsters and Mazes

As you enter the Sensorium today you find a most peculiar sight.

A large black wall with a 8-bit logo reading "Monsters and Mazes"

And two simple words.

"Start Game."

Upon choosing this a new menu appears showing a series of options:

Fighter
Paladin
Hunter
Rogue
Wizard
Cleric
Bard

What to do what to do?

Starfire seemed satisfied with that answer. He had a network of friends to go to. She did as well...well, minus Peter.

"Have they ever become cross with you?"

"Well...once or twice. Not recently. But one time? I tried to play a prank on a friend an accidentally hit my other friend covering her in motor oil. She was really mad at me." He smile warmly at her bringing up an event that they had in fact gone through together.

Starfire giggled, tempted to coat him in some mustard. She refrained, aware that the stickiness could interfere with the video games, but it appeared in her hand anyway.

"I remember its scent. Powerful, but very dangerous if exposed to high temperatures." No using her power around it, then. "Would it be acceptable to use a sweeter substance in this prank?"

In her opinion, mustard would be just fine. She was aware, though, that whipped cream and chocolate syrup were usually preferred.

"Oh totally! Sticky goopy messes are all about pranks!" Beastboy explained excited for a moment before he paused, "Wait though...who's mad at you for what now?"

[starbolts]

Ah, the serious issue. She didn't think popping whipped cream and a cherry on Peter's head was likely to fix things.

"I have angered Peter," Starfire sighed, pulling her legs up underneath her. "He has lost his automobile in addition to a number of other unfortunate occurrences in rapid succession, and he cannot see that he has not lost everything."

"Oh." That did take a bit of wind out of the moment. "So like what...you tried to cheer him up?" Beastboy was trying to construct the scene in his head because...well he found it hard to picture anyone nice really being mad at Starfire.

[starbolts]

"I did, but he was not feeling receptive to the idea. He has been hurt so badly that he cannot see the 'brighter side'."

She folded her hands in her lap, lost in thought. "I wonder...vehicles are often important to people, like Cyborg's. Would it help him to have a new automobile of his own?"

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

"That'd go a long way to cheering up any dude." Beastboy admitting thinking for a moment about his own dream of owning a moped.

"Pete probably just needed a chance to cool down though, he's not a total jerk...best I can tell anyway." He winked at her. "Have you seen him since the fight? He might want to apologize already."

[starbolts]

"I have not, though I have tried. As long as he is capable of moving away from me, he does so."

It was a strange circumstance. Every time her flash of hair appeared on the horizon, he turned tail.

"Oh dude not cool." Beastboy folded his arms with a disapproving scowl "He's probably ashamed he yelled at ya and doesn't wanna own up to it."

[starbolts]

"I have already forgiven him, but I have not been successful in communicating this. Should I send a letter?"

She wondered what else could be done. With his power, he was quite adept and finding his way out of corners.

"Well you could send him a message on the comm system." Beastboy mused, "Or if you want I could try to track him down and talk to him?"

[starbolts]

Starfire thought on this. "I could, but I believe he would ignore any messages attached to my name. Maybe..."

She looked around the room, at the controller, and then back again. "Maybe I will bring a gift! Something that will improve his mood."

"Couldn't hurt!" Beastboy shrugged and then added, "Though I think he ought to be bringing YOU a gift. After all it's not your fault he snapped." Defensive Beastboy is defensive of his friends.
