♥ for them both

But for real I would love for Rafael and Casey to talk more, the closet conversation was so cute :(

oooh boy can we can we can we? he doesn't always have to be raging around, either. (though the closet convo was one of the funnest things to write for me in a while.)

Rafael thinks Casey is funny and harmless and sweet lol (MAYBE NOT 100% ACCURATE BUT I'VE NEVER SAID RAFAEL WAS A NEUTRAL PARTY)

But yes we should get them to talk, and maybe Rafael can express some Concerns that Casey's going through some dancing emotional troubles :(

and ha ha HA WE CAN'T EDIT COMMENTS HELP I'M SLOWLY DYING.

casey respects rafael more than he lets on because he recognizes rafael as a sick/badass dude with authority and his shit together, and a rad dancer. and someone who actually gives him a run for his money in trying to run d&d (cursed min-maxers)

I KNOW, I'M SUFFERING

but in D&D the best way to get one over on Rafael is with EMOTIONS and PLOT and TWISTS TO THAT PLOT. so if Casey runs a good game, Rafael is probably quietly like "damn Cricket's right this kid has something special in him"

hhhmmmmmmmm i would say that, in the beginning, he wasn't toooooo great. pre-made campaigns, lots of double-checking, typical nervous first time DM biz combined with "when he's nervous sometimes he gets kinda angry." (and it's not like he grew up playing D&D so he didn't have any experience outside of gaming club.) by this year he's improved a lot and is making an honest effort to work with/for his players even if he's not going to admit it. :| so EMOTIONS and PLOT and TWISTS for players like rafael have started popping up more, and even if the first couple attempts might have flopped, they're totes getting there

the special is just hidden so so so so so far down, rafael. it's easier to be a semi-brainless broheim than to try and deal with emotions and confusion and hesitation, ok. :(((

Awwwww cute, Casey. DMing is hard, I don't blame him :( In Casey's favor, Rafael is also frankly just.... terrible at the story side of D&D, so a little bit of quality GMing started going a long way with him. So probably this year (?) he was able to really shock Rafael and foil his perfectly built character with something AND HE WAS AFFRONTED BUT IMPRESSED

Oh no Caseyyyyyy :((((( Rafael gets SUPPRESSING YOUR SOFT FEELINGS BECAUSE YOU ARE VERY MACHO except a) he is no bro, and b) he's increasingly bad at it
