"When shall we two meet again?"

"How about next month? YOU bring the pizza."

"Fine."

"Very well."

It would be a while before he'd realize what he got himself into.

One month later, Dominic felt decidedly out of place co-GMing with Asmodeus. Certainly, they'd gotten their first pick of pieces of pizza, and Lilith at least had thought to bring soda for everyone, but -

"I FIRE MY LASER CANNON AT THE GUARD!!"

Dominic was jolted out of his musings at the cry - after all, Asmodeus had designated him as the combat-GM. He eyed Gabriel. "Gabriel, you *cannot* fire your laser cannon. For one thing, your intrepid companion is in the path the cannon would have to take. For another, it's too heavy to be manually operated."

Gabriel stared at him with desperate incomprehension. "...But... but... I FIRE MY LASER CANNON!"

Lilith coughed a smile. "Well, our 'intrepid companion' IS a spy."

Marc fiddled intently with his dice. "I prefer the term 'Agent of Information Retreival."

Andrealphus sighed. "All right. Gabriel, hold onto your giant phallic object, you can use it later. My Super Sexy Catgirl Ami-Mooko sidles up to the Guard and lets her blouse slip off one shoulder, exposing the sleek curve of one breast with its erect nipple." Andre leaned forward, peering at the lead figures intently, his breath coming faster. "She grabs the Guard's groin and carresses! 'Please let us by, sir', she purrs meekly. 'I'll let you use me just like you want to...'"

"Oh, that's NOT fair," Marc said. "I go to all the trouble of getting us passcodes and you're just going to SLEEP your way in?"

Gabriel whined. "But - I've got this LASER CANNON, and I've carted it ALL this way and I wanna FIRE it!"

Lilith took another piece of pizza. "Just let Ami-Mooko do what she does best, Gab. You can fire your laser cannon later."

Asmodeus took over smoothly, as combat no longer seemed imminant. "All right. Ami-Mooko, the guard hisses in pleasure, blind to your companions slipping past him-"

"Where's the Mountain Dew?" Gabriel muttered. "I want some Mountain Dew."

Andrealphus raised a hand. "Can I roleplay this scene through, GM?"

Dominic buried his face in his hands. He only hoped that, when combat came, it would be over quickly and painlessly.
