[Words scroll over the screen (she's actually just rebroadcasting them from the network:]
"Nulls and Norms, a newly released pen & dice tabletop gaming system, has sold over 1000 copies this week."
"Can you take the challenge and survive...without powers?!"
[Then the camera snaps to Haruhi, against a rather poorly-fitting CGI green screen background of indistinct monsters and dragons and swords. There are, however, realistic-looking "potion" concoctions, grabbed from Gearheads, that are bubbling and simmering away.]
Now, role-playing games can be educational explorations of alternate situations, and everything. More importantly, they can potentially lend spice to life, especially around here, when you could roleplay someone a lot more convincingly than if you were in a boring normal world and you had to just pretend you're someone else and say or write out all their actions.
Which makes this game all the more ridiculous, right, Siren's Port? Who wants to play a game where you have less interesting things that you can do than in real life?
[She points straight at the camera.]
That's why I'm going to be running a Mega Expansion Pack session of Nulls and Norms in the next month. Because we need to have this kind of event done properly, it'll take some preparation time. Which gives all of you out there time to prepare yourself a character for the game! Got that, everyone? Get ready for a super SOS adventure! Send your applications in here!
[A slight pause while she wonders whether to address the other notable current event.]
...And forget about all the stupid Valentine's Day stuff. That holiday is best done as a social guide like it is in Japan than as an occasion for all the mental illness love crap. It's okay to make chocolate and stuff, but all the romantic dinners and stuff... That's purposeless. Use that time to get ready for this instead!
All right, you can go back to your humdrum daily life now!

like you like dragons ,right? we can put in a whole dragon roost aviary!!!!
live-action roleplaying.... maybe i could add an element of that too. see, i knew this could lead to interesting adventures! who's spidertroll and what ended up happening?
okk so it's the craziest thing that humans do really. i mean think about it, all humans are used to it, but who wants to suddelny get so involved with another person that you're always wanting to think about them and wanting them to think about you? it basically just turns ou into an obsessive compulsive. valentines day makes them neurotic cause they try to make the day perfect or something dumb like that and then they just freak out over nothing at all... just a small sampling of how love makes people behave like they're ill
