Dicember Day 10: EMERGENCY DICE!
Dicember Day 10
Name: Emergency Dice!
(Obtained 2023 01 25. Manufacturer: Unknown, they were a gift!)
Okay so first, I have to acknowledge my mild annoyance at myself for not flipping the package over to take the photograph. Because properly aligned dice will have smallest and highest values opposite each other, and the fact that I can see two 1s in this photo means there are some high rolls being trained to be _down_. This is bad dicemanship and I apologize for it.
Anyways, these dice are wonderful not just for themselves, or their adorable "rip here in case of initiative" design. They are wonderful because they were a gift from a complete stranger! Oh sure, there were definitely some friend-of-a-friend-hanging-in-groups connections that brought us hanging out at the same place at the same time. But they had a number of these little bags, to clip to a purse or belt, and when I expressed amusement they just offered me one!
Kindness is so good y'all.
It is something I really try to think about with my dice, about the fact that obviously I love all of them VERY VERY MUCH but also...I love even more the idea of being able to give some of them to friends, to strangers, to kids, to people who need that extra flash of joy. Because sadness is a worse emergency than any other you might find.
(Okay, yeah, that's super hokey, but maybe it's not untrue?)
