Hey there, islands. Happy new year and all that, if that even matters. I mean, the holidays don't seem to matter here but there's a calendar so...?

[There's a pause, and Lance clears his throat.]

Anyways, this isn't about that! Recently I put in a request with the good ol' Storyteller because I was reminded of something from back home and thought, with all the crazy things that happen here, something that's a little more chill and lowkey might be good?

It's this, uh, game? Called Monsters & Mana. It's a little hard to explain and it's super nerdy, but it's pretty fun! You roll dice and pretend to be a character and go on an adventure the Lore Master puts together for you.

I've got a lot of books for it and everything we'd need to play it, but I don't want to just keep it to myself? So if anyone wants to take a look at it or play it just hit me up!

See ya!

Monsters, you say?

[Muffet sounds amused.]

Well, I certainly have a personal interest in that.

[thegoofball]

And Mana. That's also very important.

[Guess who has no idea Muffet's species is "monster"...]

[prettypurpleparlor]

[Well, she'd tell him if he asked...]

Hmm, that I can't say I'm quite so familiar with. What exactly is 'mana'?

[thegoofball]

[He is polite! You don't just ask someone their species!]

It's like, magic, basically? But more marketable.

[prettypurpleparlor]

[She appreciates the intent, at least.]

Ah, that makes sense- we are generally rather magical beings, after all.

[How nice to think that even other worlds recognize that...]

[thegoofball]

[He's learned.]

Yeah, yeah. Wait, what?

[Okay he might have to roll back on the not asking someone what their species is thing...]

[prettypurpleparlor]

Monsters, dearie. As my people are commonly called.

[She sounds amused rather than offended, at least.]

I'm given to understand other worlds have a less pleasant definition of that term, regrettably.

[thegoofball]

Ooooh. Geez. Huh.

[He blinks a bit, even though it's not like Muffet can tell.]

Yeah, monsters aren't usually something you'd want to deal with. Especially the human ones.

[prettypurpleparlor]

So I've heard.

[Her tone is a little dry, though she's not making fun of him, per se.]

Where I come from "human monster" is something of an oxymoron- save perhaps in cases of adoption.

[Not that interspecies adoption is exactly common... save for a handful of special cases.]

[But who knows? Maybe someday.]
