[In the Game Tower today… what is going on in the Game Tower today?

[The lobby seems to be gone, and in its place is… the surface of the moon? Dotted here and there are cardboard standees of raptors in space helmets and generically handsome men in outfits that prominently display their abs]

[...why are you here again?]

Room 3

[wotanon]

[The elegant linen-covered table in the room you find yourself in has everything you need to write a masterpiece: paper, quill pens, comfy chairs, and plenty of construction paper and magazine pictures of anything you can think of for you to make a collage for the cover]

[The rules are on your phone]

[There is also lots of alcohol]

[happydreamed]

Goodness. That certainly is a task we have set for us.

[unbr8kable]

Ever wrote a book before?

[happydreamed]

I'm afraid I have not. My handwriting is as bad as you'd expect a doctor's to be, in addition.

[unbr8kable]

Ouch. Though Cross's ain't any better...

[She shakes her head, taking the notebook, then]

I can write something legible, though I'll need you guys to start coming up with ideas. You're the target audience for this guy, right?

[happydreamed]

I do read in this genre now and then, though nothing quite this... esoteric?

[unbr8kable]

Perfect. What makes you wanna pick up one or the other of this kinda "literature"? Is it the raptors? That's almost a dragon...

[happydreamed]

Quite a bit different from the dragons I know. I almost wish I could take one of these back to show Zhongli.

[He'd have an amusing reaction, most likely.]

If we're appealing to everyone, should we not theme it around Tokyo-F somehow? Perhaps 'Hammered by Mail From My Adoring Fans' or the like?

[unbr8kable]

Could ask the host for one to take home? Or like. Steal the costume...

[She considers]

You find Tokyo-F a turn-on? Or just the adoring fans bit?

[happydreamed]

My impression is that these are rather more funny than erotic.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Dude, for real.

I dunno if we can top any of the ones they got on display.

[happydreamed]

No way to know until we try, hmm?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Exactly. Just gotta pull out all the stops.

[happydreamed]

I have read romance novels, but not, ah, this variety.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I ain't even read romance novels.

But how hard could it be, right? It's just like... pounded in the utt, and something real silly.

[happydreamed]

Oh, I've no doubt that we could come up with an adequate book premise easily. But coming up with the best one of our tables, that will be a challenge.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Ah - yeah, I guess that's trickier, huh.

There anything you're thinking?

Re: Room 3

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Pouring himself a drink,]

Okay, if we wanna top those ones out there, this's gotta be like a masterpiece.

Re: Room 3

[unbr8kable]

[Already has a glass of something tan-colored]

Shouldn't be that tough. Just need a topic that'll appeal to all the old guys, right?

[Waves at the other tables]

Re: Room 3

[crossmyheartandhope]

Man, yeah. I guess it is a bunch of granpas.

...there's gotta be tea in there.

Re: Room 3

[unbr8kable]

Yeah.

And like--half of everybody's a secret monster or mythical beast, right? So maybe something with that. Scalie teacup with abs.

Re: Room 3

[crossmyheartandhope]

Dude, yeah, now we're talking. Pounded in the butt by a buff pot of the best tea monsterdom's ever seen.

...or something.

Re: Room 3

[unbr8kable]

The old man suggests naps, too.

[Thumbs over at Doctor,]

"A Night With the Hottest Toddy"? And Tod is the sexy tea dragon.

Re: Room 3

[crossmyheartandhope]

...dude! Naps and tea and booze is like, the most winning combo about ever.

Re: Room 3

[unbr8kable]

Too bad you only indulge in two of the three...

[Nudges at his side]
