Scene 7 Summary

Scene 7 returns to the real world where Chuck waits for Agnes at her house to resume the game. Agnes’s boyfriend, Miles, enters, and in a round of miscommunication plagued by double entendre, he mistakes Chuck’s role as a Dungeon Master and thinks he is actually Agnes’s sexual partner. He awkwardly wrestles Chuck, who outsizes him, and when Agnes enters the room to show Chuck a new pair of leather gloves that will help her stay in character, Miles abruptly leaves. Both Agnes and Chuck think that Miles storms out because he hates Dungeons and Dragons. Indifferent to her boyfriend’s reaction, Agnes eagerly puts on her new accessories and resumes the game with Chuck.

Scene 8 Summary

Back in New Landia, Agnes is excited to show Tilly her new gloves and walks in on Tilly and Lilith kissing. At first, she rationalizes that Tilly’s character must be a male, but Tilly corrects her and affirms that not only are Lilith and she both female and lovers, but that everyone in New Landia is gay. Agnes struggles to make sense of Tilly’s lesbian identity and becomes defensive when her sister points out that her over-reaction marks her as being anti-gay.
