TIAMAT

[soulping]

[There’s room for seven in this weather-worn hut, with seven chairs around a table long enough for seven people.

The center of the table is adorned with wooden jugs of water and wooden snack bowls. It’s primarily fruits and nuts, although there are a couple brimming with Unidentified Raw Meat.]

It's like... a song? But spoken rather than sang.

[hyanaimne]

[looks between the two of them]

. . . so, like poetry?

[fuhrinkaed]

Kind of, yeah! Only... slam poetry.

Like... uh...

'Yo yo dawg, best step off the mat
'cause V-e-to to the-d's heard you talking smack!
Tiamat's number one player, don't you be frontin
pimpin solid ten girls 'cause they good for somethin.'

Stuff like that!

[hyanaimne]

. . . oh.

[that isn't poetry at all]

[fuhrinkaed]

...S-so, we need to write something!

[hyanaimne]

Ah, okay.

. . .

Do we need to use a lot of words I do not recognize?

[fuhrinkaed]

Yes.

I'm pretty sure they all talk like that. [Nodnod.]

[hyanaimne]

. . .

Okay.

[ CHOKED NOISE ]

[fuhrinkaed]

What..?

[onebullet]

T-that was really good!

[ And it was! But... ]

I just didn't expect that from you. It surprised me.

[poetlike]

[His IQ just dropped like ten points.]

That's definitely what it sounds like.

[fuhrinkaed]

R-right?!

[poetlike]

We need a strong opener. Between you and me, we can probably think of a lot of dragon references... We should also try to get as many extra points as possible.

[fuhrinkaed]

And we need to use our slogan! Burning Brightly!

[poetlike]

Yes! I wonder if we get points for multiple uses. Probably not... We have to use it strategically, then.
