The pitch she prepared for Buttercup won't work here, she's been thinking, so.

"I saw one in a memory, back on that creepy mountain. It's where you have a storyteller, and they tell a story about evil monsters and villains." What had Alice complained of, way back when? Despicable villains, that was it. Okay. "And then the players each make a hero, a powerful warrior or a cunning mage or a virtuous priest, or... I don't know, whatever they want, and they describe how they defeat all the things the storyteller has invented."
