Twisted Destiny

After breakfast I’m helping my sister clean up the dishes while Nikki takes a look at Sam’s leg.
“Wow, I haven’t seen some of these materials before!”
Sam nods. “It’s the best they could offer in terms of prosthetics for the public.”
“I can only imagine what they put in the military grades ones then. Holy cow!”
“Well, if they ever want to weaponize catgirls I’m sure they’ll come to you, since you’re the foremost expert in animatronics,” Sam giggles.
“Amiciaaa, can I borrow your girlfriend. She’s cute and gives me compliments.”
“No, she’s mine,” I laugh, looking over to my sister for a reaction.
“Am I not good enough for you anymore?” Élise does a fake sniff and pouts at Nikki.
“Awh, don’t pout, I was just joking, Honeybun.”
Sam starts laughing as well “Hey Amicia, your family is pretty rad.”
“I know.” I smile as I put away the last plate back in the cabinet, after which my sis gives me a big hug. “So when’s Hilda coming?”
“Should be ‘round about now.” just when she says that the doorbell rings. “Speak of the devil.”
“Is your sister a witch as well?” Sam stands up from Nikki’s inspection and heads over to me.
“Hmmm, maybe.” Both me and my sister simultaneously stick out our tongues at each other while she walks over to the door. Pocky and Mochi are already sitting near the door in anticipation for who will enter. Pocky being a lot more enthusiastic than her mom.
Élise opens the door and immediately gets accosted by Pocky.
“Oh hey they little kitten.” Hilda picks up Pocky for a hug.
Followed by Mochi who immediately gets a soft pet on the head. “Oh, and who is this new kitty?”
“Amicia found Pocky’s mom while on her way here with her girlfriend.” Élise nods over to me and Sam.
“Oh, that’s great!” Hilda looks over and sees me in my full catgirl glory. “Ah, I see you told her your secret?”
I nod while Hilda looks over to Sam. “How did you find out?”
“She started purring while we were cuddling in my bed.”
Hilda snorts. “Well, I guess that’s one way to find out.”
Sam laughs. “Indeed, it was incredibly cute as well.”
“I can imagine that.”
“We also learned that Amicia can actually cast spells as well.” Nikki adds.

“Wow, that’s pretty amazing, which ones have you tried out?”
“Divine swordsmanship and a heal?”
“Wait, did you try to heal?” Élise walks over to the table after having closed the door.
“Well, uhm, yeah. Sam asked if I could take a look at her leg, but it didn’t quite end up working like we thought it would. It looks like I can only heal her current body, not uhm...”
“Reset to factory condition.” Sam winks.
“Ah so a bit like Cure wounds but not Regenerate.”
“Exactly!” Sam yells out.
Hilda smiles. “So, are you two joining the game as well?”
We both nod. “I have never played it before though.”
“That’s not really an issue. It’s pretty easy to learn. And you can use one of my dice sets because I carry multiple with me anyway.”
“Why do you do that?”
“One, collecting dice sets is an addiction, two, if one set is rolling badly I can just switch to another one. Here take this one.” She starts messing in her bag, taking out a dice set and hands it over to me. It’s a set of pink dice with little purple catpaws on it, almost matching my PJ’s.
“....”
Hilda snorts and Sam turns away to laugh in her fist.
“Y’all planned this didn’t you?” I sigh.
“Maaaaybe.” Élise laughs out loud.
“Here, take this as well.” Hilda takes out a little black satin bag with a pink cat on it. “You can keep your dice in this.” She looks over to Sam who has turned around again, still slightly giggling. “What was your name again by the way?”
“It’s Sam.”
“Ah, well met Sam. I’m Hilda,  you can play with this dice set if you want.” She hands over a dice set in gold with white numbers.
“Allright! Thanks! Next time I’ll bring my own.”
Hilda nods approvingly “You’ve picked your girlfriend well, Amicia.”
“I know.” I quickly cuddle my Sam.
She cuddles me back and gives me a kiss on my head. “Cutie.” 

When Hilda has taken off her jacket we all get to the table which is now richly adorned with snacks.
“So how does this all work?” I ask Hilda who is setting up some kind of screen.
“Basically, I am the storyteller and you are the characters in your own story.” She points to one of the paper sheets in front of me. “This is where you write up your character on. With either stats that you roll with your dice, or we can use point-buy, but personally I prefer rolling.”
“That way everyone’s stats are bound to be different but some people get a bit unlucky and end up with subpar stats.” Sam ads to the explanation.
“Ooooh. So how do I roll for them?”
“You throw four d6’s, your six-sided dice, and subtract the lowest dice from the total. You do this six times and then you can start deciding what stat to put them in.”
With the help of Sam it doesn’t take that long to get all my stats rolled.
“Hmm, you actually rolled pretty well.” Hilda says while taking her handbook. “Do you know what class and race you want to play?”
“Not really, maybe something tanky?”
“Maybe you could try a paladin then, or a fighter.” Sam proposes, filling in her character sheet in the meantime.
“What’s the difference?”
“Paladins have spells like heals and stuff while a fighter is more like: ‘I hit stuff with my sword a lot of times.’”
“What are you going as Sam?”
“I was thinking about an Aasimar bard or something like that?”
“Aasi-what?”
“Basically a half-angel.”
“Oooh. And Lise and Nikki?”

Élise poses with the peace sign. “I’m going as an elven druid.”
“And I’ll be going as a half-elf warlock.”
“Hmm.”
“You could go human, that race is overall pretty good. Once you get more comfy with the game you can always make a new character.” Hilda shoves over her handbook to me.
“Allright, I’ll go with that then.”

--4 hours later-- 

“Wow, that was one heck of a first session.” Élise gets up and stretches.
“Yep, next time we’ll level your characters up to level 2.” Hilda smiles satisfied. “So what do you think Amicia? Had fun?”
“Yes! I enjoyed it a lot.”
“I think our bard and paladin will hit it off in the game as well.” Élise teases and gives Sam a poke in her side.
“M-maybe,” I blush as Sam laughs out loud.
“P-p-please don’t - I’m ticklish!! Hahaha!”
“Thank you Hilda for being our game mistress.” Nikki gives Hilda a hand to gather all her stuff.
“Ah, don’t worry. I like DM’ing a lot, especially with cute girls like y’all.” She winks. “And teaching new players the game is always worthwhile.”
I walk over to Hilda as well and give her a big hug. “Thanks for being so patient with me.”
“No problem kitten, everyone has trouble with what dice to use at what time at first.” she gives me a pat on the head. “Anyway, I should get going now because I still need to cook and make my lunch for tomorrow. It was nice meeting you Sam.”
“Likewise.” Sam says from behind me and gives Hilda a wave.
“And take good care of this kittycat for me.”
“I will, I will.” She smiles and hugs me from behind.
She says goodbye to the rest of my family and leaves the apartment.
“I think I should leave soon as well.” Sam gives a kiss on the back of my head.
“Awhh. Whyyy.” I pout as I look up, leaning my head on her shoulder.
“I’d rather stay as well sweetie but I need to get my sporting gear ready for tomorrow and I still have a bit of work to do for my classes.”
“Awh…”
“I know… we can have lunch together at the windows again.”
“...Ok then…”
“Next time I can stay over for longer.” She looks over to my sister. “If your family allows it obviously.”
“Of course! You’re free to come any time.” My sister smiles.
“Just gives us a little heads up so we know how many people we have to cook for.” Nikki chimes in.
“Thanks. I will!”
I turn myself around and give her a kiss on the lips. “I miss you already.”
“I love you too.” She kisses me back.
“Okay I’m gonna watch tv or I’ll get diabetes from these two.” My sister hops over the sofa, and sits herself next to Pocky and Mochi who’ve been sleeping there for the last couple of hours.
“Yeah, you’re right.” Nikki giggles and follows her girlfriend.
I giggle while Sam keeps kissing me. “I love you.”
“I love you too.”
