[ SO, despite america's everything -- it's most likely that the person most excited about tonight is him. he's been posting flyers, he's been talking about to everyone who comes into mcceres, he's been planning his outfit. he's just been so excited! people! places! things! he's gonna have a blast.

he even went so far as to rent out one of the game rooms at the game center this evening. there's tables spread around with paper and pens and dice on each one, there's arcade machines around the edges of the room (racing games! shooting games! pac-man games!) and there's a big table on one end of the wall covered with free food. FREE food. a lot of it is catered by mcceres but for anyone who has had mcceres in the past, it's much better tonight! america's influence as general manager has extended enough to make the mcceres of cerealia comes close, if not equal to, the mcdonalds of america. do you want chicken nuggets? there are definitely chicken nuggets.

when people come into the game room that night, america will be by the door, dressed like a huge nerd (it's a PARTY) and holding a very dumb top hat in his hand. he'll give you a piece of paper and pen to write down your name and drop it into the top hat, saying it's for SOMETHING SPECIAL. that's not sketch at all! he won't leave until the room gets pretty crowded and after that, you can all watch as he takes the top hat and strides over to the middle of the room and hops up on one of the tables. he has a microphone now! dear god, why did anyone give him a microphone? ]

Hellooooo, fellow captives! I'm assuming it's just captives here because if it's any Cerealia natives, you caaaan get the fuck out! Haha, no one needs you here. [ he'll pause for those people to get the fuck out and after a moment, continues. ] Welcome to the first annual Tapletop Games of Cerealia, sponsored by McCERES. I'm your host -- the United States of America and I'm really happy to have y'all here!

[ who is he even talking to ]

Now, you've probably put your name in a hat sometime tonight! [ america... ] This is going to make you eligible for our grand prize! We're gonna have a few games running, arcade, tapletop, whatever. I think I even got a few games of monopoly back there... But the Dungeons & Dragons is the most important here! Because those who play tonight, especially with me, are eligible to win...

[ he bangs the microphone against his palm a few times in a drum roll ]

FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS or uh, credits, I guess? Whatever! Five thousand of it! How do you win this, you may ask? Easy! Create the most amusing story to tell in your game tonight and you will win. I'm the only judge though so, haha. Amuse me!

[ you sound a bit crazy now, america. ]

Dungeons & Dragons is all about being super duper dope and hilarious and bonding with your friends. So, do that really well and you'll win five grand! Only one person can get the prize though so you're even gonna be competing with the people in your group with you! Haha, suckers.

[ and then he pauses and... ]

I think that's really the most important thing here. Play the game, be hilarious, win five grand if you're super hilarious. Anyway, welcome to the party! Hope y'all have a good time.

[ and then he hops off the table and the music comes back on. good... luck?? ]

GROUP CINCO

[bigstick]

[ okay last group of the night, he thinks. should be fun. he's tired and probably had way too many beers but you know, whatever!! it's been a good night! this time he's going full random, he's digging in the hat.

he's up on the table again too though so as he pulls out a name, he shouts it into the microphone. ]

Seren! [ another name. ] Cynbel! [ one more ] Shi...hou... whoeever the fuck! [ and finally ] Sheba! Table five awaits you!

[ he'll drop back down to the floor soon after and await his last set of victims. rocking back and forth in the chair, he is pleased as can be and that doesn't bode well for this next group of people. oh... well...!! when they get there, he'll give them his usual spiel. ]

Now, give us your name. What you do for a living. And a fun fact about yourself. Make it interesting!

[ and then he claps a few times before waiting for someone to speak. ]

(( Seren! Cynbel! Shihoudou! Sheba! party hard, yo. ))

[endworld]

Seren here!

[He looks pretty cheerful as he heads on over to the table, waving.

After getting himself settled—]

What I do for a living... Well, back home, I was a priest, but here, I work at an ice cream shop! It's been a pretty weird change, to be honest. I didn't even know what ice cream was when I started—I think I've been missing out all my life!

As for a fun fact... let's see... um, back home, my best friend and I got arrested and locked up in a tower. Wasn't a lot of fun, but I punched the wall apart and threw him overboard so he could get away, so it worked out in the end!

[also the guy didn't fall to his death no worries]

[changeably]

[And in the next chair over, a kid that looks like he went out of his way to dress up like they're LARPing or something. That, or he's just a freaky fairy thing, but come on. What are the chances of that?]

You punched a hole in the wall of a tower, then threw him out? Did he manage to survive?

Ah, as for me, my name is Cynbel. I am a server at a costumed cafe in the shopping district!

[Since Seren apparently choose "most ridiculous thing you've done" for his fun fact, he'll do the same.]

And for something interesting about myself... I once kidnapped a troop of dwarves for my father's birthday. It was a rather flashy affair, but they took it very well!

[makigumo]

[ The one who completely ignores sitting in a chair is Shihoudou. Instead, she sits on a small fluffy cloud, legs spread very indecently. She's dressed even more scantily than she normally is, because she has left her cape at home. Which means she's pretty much naked. ]

Please, falling out of a tower isn't very fatal at all. Granny's done it loads of times. I haven't tried the birthday thing in a looong time, though!

Granny's granny Shihoudou, by the way! I'll be granny to all of you! I work at an erotic book shop and I'm the Poop Queen of the Mibu clan! I'm the biggest poop turd there is and ever has been and ever will be and I usually live in a labyrinth only I know the way out of~!

[uncoincidental]

There's lots of ways to survive falling. I fell from a lighthouse once. [She says, nonchalantly.]

Anyway, my name is Sheba! I work at a candy store here, but... [Hmm. How does she even describe what she did in Weyard...] Back home, I was just finishing up with an adventure. The kind of adventure that's supposed to be like what we're doing here, I think? [Then she smiles.] As for a fun fact... The lighthouse was actually the second time I fell from somewhere really high. When I was a baby, I fell out of the sky and made a huge crater where I landed. I wan't hurt even a little bit, though!

[Because that's. Totally normal.

...though in this company maybe it is.]

It's nice to meet all of you.

[bigstick]

[ so what he's getting from this is that he's surrounded by a bunch of people who look really innocent but are in reality, completely terrible. america's suddenly really concerned for his mortality.

but first off: ]

Let's try and keep the feces to a minimum, dude!

[ and then he drags a hand over his face because really, how he is the most normal one of the group. (america, you are a huge hypocrite. stop trying to play the straight man.) ]

But, yeah. You guys seem to have done some weird as shit stuff in your life. I'm not sure I'm really about that! I mean, I've been in some wars and stuff but... have I fallen from anything lately? No. Think about it.

[ tapping his temple with two fingers and nodding. was that sage advice?! maybe. the advice is in there somewhere. ]

My name though, my name's the United States of America. Y'all can just call me America, that's fine and dandy with me. Back home, like I said, I'm a country. So, not human -- physical embodiment, freedom and democracy, yadda yadda. Here though, I manage the McCERES. You guys should come in sometime next week for one of our new Green Tea McFlurries! It's something we're testing out and want to see your response for. You can have one on the house, just tell them I sent ya!

[ advertisement spot over, time for a fun fact. ]

A fun fact from your grand ol' Uncle Sam though... Oh! [ he lifts his hands and straightens his bow tie. ] I have a weird amount of bowties at home in various different colors. I don't know why. I think most of them showed up in the early 1900s but now that they're coming back into style, I'm not really sure if I should throw them away. My favorite one is in plum.

[ that's totally a fun fact, right? right. ]

Anyway, do any of you know how to play this?

[endworld]

[Excuse you, Seren is a perfectly decent human being, minus those moments where he's being a little shit.]

Man, there really are a lot of interesting people here! Oh, and don't worry, he survived.

[He shakes his head.]

Nope. Complete beginner here.

[changeably]

[Everyone here seems weird, but mostly cool, so Cynbel shrugs. America gets a sidelong look for his little speech, though, because that's still the weirdest thing about this whol conversation.]

I'm afraid I haven't played before, unfortunately. It can't be very hard, though, can it?

[Famous last words...]

[makigumo]

[ Shihoudou comes right up in America's face. ]

Aw, why noooot? [ Hmm? ] Country just like Pipit-chan is? [ She points toward Russia, and then sits back down properly. ] Are bow ties hair decorations?

Granny has never played this before either! Or heard of it, before getting here! Is it real fights? Granny could use a real fight.

[uncoincidental]

[Sheba sort of side-eyes America when he talks about Green Tea McFlurries and bowties, but as weird as it is it's harmless in the grand scheme of things, so she doesn't say a word about it. Instead, she shakes her head slowly.]

I've never played, either. But it's like storytelling, isn't it?
