Monsters & Mana - A Klance Fanfiction

Monsters & Mana

"Guys," Coran grabs everyone's attention. "Look what I found!" The orange haired man was sitting by the holographic, Altean tabletop. Shiro walked over to look at the tabletop. "What? Is it important?" He asks, clearly expecting a problematic answer.
"Oh no, no! I just found one of my favorite childhood games! It's called Monsters & Mana! Do you want to play?" Coran says, excitedly. When hearing this, everyone back to their tasks, now knowing it wasn't important, except Shiro of course. "Why not?" He sits down on the couch. "Is it like a group game?" Shiro asks.

Coran nods. "We need at least two more players."

"Guys, Coran found a game! Come and play! It can help with our group coordination and team bonding." Everyone groaned. Lance spoke up. "Why do you have to make a normal, fun, happy game into something that's a learning experience?"

"Because it'll help when we are in battle, Lance. Maybe you and Keith can learn something." Shiro simply responded. Lance rolled his eyes. "Me and Mullet? Learning? Umm, nope, doesn't click." He said, unhappily. Pidge looked at Shiro and back at Lance. "Maybe Shiro's right. You and Keith fight over the stupidest things like yesterday, when we were trying to eat and you both started arguing about how one of you got more than the other. And you guys got the same amount, by the way." Lance rolled his eyes at the way Pidge had said the last part.

Hunk even agreed with Pidge and Shiro. Lance felt completely betrayed. "Fine. We'll play the game! Hunk I can't believe you agreed with them." Lance did an angry and over dramatic gesture towards the small group of people-who-had-betrayed-him. Hunk laughed. "I love how you look so betrayed and sad." He said. Lance gaped. Keith smirked. "I know we love making Lance feel bad but seriously, this game is scaring me." Keith said.

"It shouldn't scare you so that's why we will be playing it, to rid you of your fear." Shiro commanded like they weren't being given a choice. Lance groaned and Keith just slumped down on the couch. "I'll be the Lore Master!" Coran enthused. Lance made an unimpressed face. "What the hell is that?" He said. Coran smiled even brighter. "It's the person who commentates the story and what is happening!" Shiro nodded his head at the new addition of information. "So how do you play?" He asked. Coran grabbed five tablets and passed one tablet to each of the players. "You first need to design your character using this tablet. Pick from the characters and design them to your liking."

Pidge scrolled through her design list. Once she was satisfied with her choices she pressed the submit button and a hologram of her character appeared on the table. "Wow!"

Once everyone had pressed submit and their avatars were in place on the table, Coran started explaining. "Okay, so we have a twenty sided die. You roll the die when your turn arrives. When you role the die, the higher the number, the better the attack or decision you make." Everyone nodded. "Let's begin!"
