[A big, dark eyeball stares at you before pulling back, Colonel the hen pecking about the edge of the tablet before her brown feathers brush against it as she turns to go poke around the rest of the counter.]

Pictographs work, right? Do Agrii understand when things get crossed out? -things you never thought about until you're trying to write rules and remember these guys don't have a written language.

[Cayde is seated at the end of the bar, pencil in hand as he puts some lines on the sheet before him. He drums his fingers, scowling a bit.]

"No fire in the bar" - is that even a regular rule? Huh. Or was it just no smoking?

Hmm....should I add something about the fish tank? ...eh.

[He shrugs and resumes tapping the pencil against his chin.]

Yeah, you're getting pretty long there. How about

'If you make a mess, clean it up.'

That's what I put in the diner.

that's one way to get people to digest things

[deal_me_in]

Yeah, guess that'll work. Or something along the lines of cleaning or fixing things up as you found it, once they're done.

[doubled_speed]

Don't forget to make the sign glittery. Otherwise it won't make any sense to them.

[deal_me_in]

[He makes a face.]

Did you not hear the part about no glitter in here?

[doubled_speed]

[Tommy smirks and winks.]

Not even a little? What about edible glitter for mixed drinks? Open your eyes to the possibilities, dude.

[deal_me_in]

Hard pass!

[doubled_speed]

Oh come on, it'd be cute. Especially sparkly with the neon.

[deal_me_in]

[He folds his arms, sticking his non-existent nose up.]

Absolutely not. The only sparkle I like is gold and no powdered versions need apply.

[doubled_speed]

But aren't diamonds a girl's best friend? Bet we could replicate them. Or gold. Have you tried yet?

[deal_me_in]

I think we're getting off topic here.

[doubled_speed]

Yeah, but the topic is a fun one, right?

[deal_me_in]

You're gonna have to walk me back on that one.

[doubled_speed]

You mean, like, explain how I got there?

[deal_me_in]

I was going to say yes, but then if I didn't catch the fun part the first time I don't know how going over it again will clarify it.

[doubled_speed]

That's fair. I'll go find those twins and see about sending them to you for help with a sign.

[Cayde gives him a nod and a two-fingered salute before he reaches over to tap the thing off.]
