You pull into the parking lot across the street and see the rest of the group is already there. Each of you has gone through this routine dozens of times. It looks like you all arrived before Tim this time. Hoping that he didn't forget again you check your phone for the time every few minutes until you see his Dodge Neon pull up to the spot next to everyone else. He gets out, grabs his bag and walks over, "Hey guys, sorry I'm late. Looks like the traffic on the interstate was pretty bad. I think it's people going to the park for that meteor shower tonight." He leads the group across the street to the office.
"Everyone remember where we left off? I think Jacob, you were...", his voice trails, mostly because you stop listening. You are preoccupied with looking around to see if anyone is watching you. Tim always said he had legit access to the offices after hours, but somehow you never quite believed him. You don't complain much. You have a great place to game with vending machines and all of the amenities.
After getting in through the stairwell exit with a key Tim has you go up to the third floor and he opens up the big conference room. It's got the big long oak conference table. The hiring manager seemed overly proud of the fact that the table was pure oak. You understand why you instantly hated that hiring manager.
The full-length windows give you a good view over the other couple of squat buildings around. Laracaster isn't a terrible town, just fairly small and uninteresting. You can see the overpriced and under featured zoo about a mile south of you. It's almost entirely surrounded by chain outlet stores and big-box retailers. The view even affords you views of the police station and fire station to the south east. You can even see the hospital that is clear across town from up here. When you see the city at night like this, lit up, you almost think it's actually kind of nice.
As Tim comes back in to the conference room he starts setting up the campaign notes he has and getting out his DM screen. He even gets out that damn voice recorder. Still trying to get that live play podcast going, you've recorded like ten of these sessions and he hasn't released a single episode. Whatever. It's game time.
"Alright, lets do the quick introduction part first," Tim says as he flicks on the recorder, "Alright state your name, and your character name, give us a short few sentence intro and we can get started."
