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!

You..... pretend to be what kind of character?

[he's not intrigued truly no HE HAS NO INTEREST IN LARPING TRULY NO]

[thegoofball]

Any kind of character you want to be! I was a ninja assassin [thief], but Shiro was a paladin...Allura was some sort of magical archer that summoned animals? You've got so many options.

[Don't kid yourself, Laurent.]

So it's a. Fantasy sort of setting.

[SHIT FUCK DAMN HE HASNT DONE THAT SINCE HE WAS A KID AND THEN HIS BROTHER DIED play it cool, laurrent]

Hm.

Can you have a horse?



Can you be a horse?

[thegoofball]

Yeah, for being an Altean game you'd think it'd be more sci-fi, but nah, it's way fantasy.

[He has to think on that for a second.]

I don't think they had horses, but there might be something close?

[crosslaced]

What good is a game with no horses? [oh come on.]

.....

.....I'll consider it. Let me know when you're playing.

[he intends to spectate to get a better idea of things, but.]

[thegoofball]

Altean horses are probably super murderous anyways. [Lance...]

But sure. I think you'll know when it's happening. [Considering Lance is allergic to subtlety...]

[crosslaced]

This is disgusting. Why're everyone else's horses dangerous? Horses are herbivores. Horses have done nothing wrong.

[You wanna hear the tea about horses, Lance]

[thegoofball]

To be fair, Altea didn't even have rain. I don't think horses would've lasted very long there.

[Please tell him more about horses, Laurent.]

[crosslaced]

You're not serious. [He sounds just scandalised. What even is this science fiction nonsense!!?!]

Then what do they have, giant snails? Does Altea have cities? Do we have to start our own farms in this game?

[thegoofball]

I'm totally serious! [Coran had no idea, and he's basically an expert in this planet.]

But, uh. I don't know what they had there. I don't know a lot about Altea. [Because it was super blown up by the time Lance met any Alteans.] But we don't need to do anything about farming. It's more about, you know, adventures and all that!

[crosslaced]

[there is a contemplative silence. Laurent is thinking Quite Hard about this for someone who, apparently, is only slightly interested.]

How will we have adventures if you, the gamemaster, doesn't know what the place looks like?

[thegoofball]

[You can't fool Lance, Laurent. He knows you want to have fun.]

It's a game of improv! You know, making stuff up and seeing what happens? So the lore master makes up stuff as the game needs it.

we can wrap!

[crosslaced]

Oh.

[he's still kind of Confused Squinting but he has no further questions about your pitch for now.

See you in DnD, Lance.]
