Cabin choices

[Anastasia]

Okay, you made it back to Ysgard with the grimoire. Next move?

Level ups for your NPCs will come tonight or tomorrow, work was just a beast yesterday. In the event you manage to hit combat today, we'll pause. You shouldn't, but just in case.

[Yuthirin]

First order of business is to study the grimoire a bit. REVEAL YOUR SECRETS!

[Anastasia]

The grimoire sits on Miranda's kitchen table. Last you hear, the others are out sparring, leaving just Tryll and the book. How are you going to approach this?

[Yuthirin]

'You know, I never asked your name. Do you mind if I read you?' Asking a book. How awkward.

[Anastasia]

'A name! A name! Of course, I need a name. Tell me, what is a good name?' The book asks.

[Yuthirin]

'Well, what do you want in a name?' Tryll asks, 'A good name is important, and you're fortunate enough to have the opportunity to choose your own. How would you describe yourself?'

[Anastasia]

'Oh, I know. Bookaradus is a good name, isn't it?' The book asks.

[Yuthirin]

Calleigh falls through the ceiling, "Hi there! Are we naming things!?"

[Anastasia]

'You must missed it,' Bookaradus says, 'Now, what where we doing?'

[Yuthirin]

Jesus christ on a cracker he's really going with Bookaradus ok welp here goes nothing

'I was hoping to stud-'
"Ohhhh did you pick a name!?"

[Anastasia]

It's a book, no one said books are good at naming themselves.

'I did!" Bookaradus says, Tryll cut off. 'How does Bookaradus strike you?'

[Yuthirin]

"...it'sa bit derivative, isn't it?"

[Anastasia]

'Derivative? How? No more derivative than Tryll, which is the height of derivative names!' Bookaradus thunders, 'Nay, far less derivative than Tryll!'

[Yuthirin]

'My name is derivative? How?' Tryll wonders, a bit indignant.

"Nevermind that! You can't just put the word book in your name! You're not just a book! You're a grimoire! A thinking grimoire! You need a name with GRAVITAS! The kind of name that adventurers whisper in awe and fear and maybe a little greed! Something like
AETHERIUS, GRAND TOME OF WONDERS!
or something similar! You can do better! You can be better! Be all that you're meant to be! Not just a ten-copper trashy romance novel!" Calleigh is briefly able to be heard from several hundred feet away.

[Anastasia]

The book wobbles in place, 'Aetherius?! That's so calling me the Ethereal Plane with -us at the end! Hmph. Try harder!'

Unnoticed by the book is the screams of shock and surprise from Miranda, Dana and Benyen.
