[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]

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?

[happydreamed]

That depends on whether we want to be the funniest one or try for something actually erotic?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Pretty sure by the titles, none of these are supposed to be for-real sexy.

[happydreamed]

I would certainly hope not, but with some of our audience...

[crossmyheartandhope]

Right? There's no way to know.

Nem says you wanna do something with naps, huh?

[happydreamed]

I do like 'A Night With the Hottest Toddy'. About the tea dragon.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Sounds like a winner to me.

And we're totally playing to our target audience.

[happydreamed]

You know more about some of our gamemates than I do, so I'll take your word for that.

[crossmyheartandhope]

It's all old dudes, ain't it? They're gonna love stuff about tea.

Anyways, we got a title.

We need, like, a summary next, right?

[happydreamed]

...

'Harold is a normal man living a normal life. His favorite pastime is sipping a nice cup of tea... Until Todd, the sexy, buff tea dragon, moves in next door. Will Todd light a fire in Harold's heart?'

Something like that, mayhap?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Will Todd light a DRAGON'S BREATH fire in Harold's heart?

[happydreamed]

Yes, much better.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Right, right?

Gotta play to the theme.

[happydreamed]

That just leaves the cover, I believe.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Dragon dude's gotta be super buff.

[happydreamed]

Naturally. With the biggest wings we can find.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Like eagle wingspan at least.
