Eduardo asked.<br/><br/>"Because they is invisible," Stan retorted.<br/><br/>Chester was going to eat crow.  Not one, not two, but three beautiful girls had just joined his campaign.  Chester wasn't going to believe it.  He already knew what he was going to say.  "Bitch, please.  You know you ain't gotta lie."  Fuck.  Chester wasn't going to<em>believe him</em>.<br/><br/>"Hello, welcome all," Eduardo said, assuming an air of forced politeness?  It seemed unnatural coming from him.  Like, as if he was a butler or something.   "I'm Eduardo, this is Nickolas," he said, pointing to Nickolas,  "And this is..." he said, turning to look at Billie.   "I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name!  But I'm really happy you're all here."  This last part was said generally to the party, and not specifically to any one person.<br/><br/>"Yes, if you're here to play DND, you're in the right place," Eduardo then said, taking a gander at Tanya's character sheet.   "Please have a seat so we can all talk about character creation, rules, and..., you know, how your character wound up in the Icewind Dales during the Eternal Rime of the Frostmaiden."  The more he spoke, the more excited he became.<br/><br/><br/>
