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!

This is what you spent your stories on.

This.

[He's not surprised. Just disappointed.]

[thegoofball]

[You're not his dad!!!]

What's the problem? There's nothing wrong with a little morale boost!

[counterblows]

[Clearly SOMEBODY has got to be.]

You could have picked anything, and it had to be this?

[thegoofball]

[He has a dad! Just, you know, in an alternate reality somewhere.]

What's wrong with Monsters & Mana? You haven't even played it!

[counterblows]

Because I have more important things to do.

[Agent Killjoy. Agent I Pretend I Don't Know How To Have Fun.]

[thegoofball]

Uh huh. Well, if you ever get a break in all that important stuff you're doing, you should come sit in on a game or two.

[Have fun, for once in your life.]

[counterblows]

[He doesn't do that anymore, apparently.]

I don't have time for that.

[thegoofball]

[Wash, plz.]

Aww, come on. Don't be like that!

[counterblows]

How long does one...session take?

[He's still not sold that this offer is genuine, but his curiosity currently outweighs his crankiness.]

[thegoofball]

Not that long!

[It takes hours, but he's not gonna say that.]

It'll be over before you know it.

[counterblows]

[He doesn't even want to PRETEND that he's entertaining this, even vaguely, but,]

If you need supervision. Maybe.

[thegoofball]

We could probably use some! After all, there'll be a lot of us in one place...

[Just give in, Wash.]

[counterblows]

Fine.

[But don't expect him to be HAPPY about it.]

Just - let me know.
