Everybody needs a friend and everyone has one, whether they know, like, or hate it. The peculiarities of human nature are innumerable, and friendship is one of them.

Grinch: So... Necromancer, who wishes to live forever and would do anything for it...right, Max?
Max: (Too deep into reading DnD rules) Yup.
Grinch: (Annoyed) OK, done signing you up for a vasectomy next week. Are you sure about that? Hope you talked about it with your girlfriend, cause you'll blue ball not only you but her too.
Max: (Looked at Grinch with a lot of concern) What do my balls, even remotely, have to do with my girlfriend...? Dude, weird...
Grinch: (Emotionless expression) Welcome back to the realm you were bound to an entity beyond its habitants' comprehension, which is their own fault.
Max: Oh, will that be in a campaign?
Grinch: (Sarcastic "magical" hand movements) Yeah, I've cast "Sarcasm" with my bonus action, while I was using "Shock".
Max: (Dead serious) There are spells like that?
Grinch: Dude, I thought that I was a weird nerd.
[Living room...]
Gri and Rena: (Observe Grinch and Max)
Gri: Man, no wonder these two are best friends... Whatever they talk about, they manage to stay on the same topic but still talk about totally unrelated things.
Rena: It's fascinating how they use terms made, specifically, for Dungeons and Dragons. The amount of passion and interest is disproportionate to the amount of time passed.
Gri: (Turned to Rena with an annoyed expression)
Rena: (Looked at Gri) Something's wrong...?
Gri's thoughts: You're one to talk...
Grinch: (Shouts from the kitchen) Girls! Hungry? We're ordering sushi. They have pizza too, if you don't feel fishy at the moment.
Gri: Pfft... (Starts giggling, covers her mouth) Why does he say it like that...?
Rena: (Shouts in response to Grinch) Fish!
Grinch: Eel? Salmon? Oh, grilled ones are on sale!
Gri: (Holds her sides and still laughing) Ow...
Rena: Grilled sounds interesting. (Turns to Gri) What are your thoughts about it, Gri?
[Kitchen...]
Grinch: (Still facing the laptop monitor)
Max: (Looks at Gri with concern) Is she ok...?
Grinch: Must be something I said. Oh, coupon on the next double set order.
Max: I'm not sure this much fish is a good idea...
Grinch: (Browsing the options for the coupon) G and Greg will finish the rest.
Rena: (Shouts from the living room) Grilled! Gri is fine with whatever! Do they have Cola?
Grinch: (Shouts to Rena) Got it! Fish it is! (Mumbling to himself) Hell with their drinks... I'll just go buy us some Cola.
Max: You sure?
Grinch: I'll just use the DM privilege on the next meet-up for a test campaign.
Max: You have the whole campaign already...?
Grinch: Hell no. Remember the last time how did our last campaign go? (Inserting card info)
Max: A mess. Was fun in the end.
Rena: (shouts) Should I go buy soft drinks?
Grinch: (Shouts) Hold on, I'll go with you! (Turned to Max) Gestalt Rules. (Stood up) Wait for me, Rena.
Gri: (Sat at Grinch's spot, reading DM notes) You sure do know your stuff.
Max: What were you laughing at...?
Gri: (Imitates Grinch and Rena) "Fish!?" "Cola!" (Giggles) I don't know...
Max: So...
Gri: DM journal is for DM only, Mister Wiz.
Max: Rats...
Gri: Just try not to kill yourself with a window frame like last time.
Max: The digital dice are rigged.
Gri: Everything in DnD is rigged but somehow feels as if everything was spontaneous for real.
Max: That's the magic.
Gri: Mind if I look at the sheet Grinch made?
Max: I practically basically paid the guy to make the entire character for me.
Gri: Intellectual property and stuff?
Max: Yeah. Dude knows his stuff.
Gri: How did you two become friends?
Max: It just somehow happened by itself.
Gri: Video games?
Max: Same thing.
Gri: DnD and DM role?
Max: I asked him, and he agreed. You guys?
Gri: His brothers and sisters.
Max: Even the little spider?
Gri: You forgot about G and Greg.
Max: Just decided not to dig into it.
Gri: How come Rena concerns you?
Max: Grinch's arachnophobia.
Gri: She doesn't like spiders herself.
Max: Isn't that ironic.
