Squeaks can have it, as long as he doesn't neglect his furnace duties in the basement. I'm comfy in the supply closet anyways, some of the hands might be a bit nibbled, I get hungry at night, sue me!

Not sure what your beef with coffee drinkers is, but the idea of people who always feel the need to tell people that their 'special' for eating or drinking or eating something is definitely one of the ingredients. Now what would we call that in three words or less?

No, that's how it starts, 'just one more person' they say, 'it'll be fine' they say, 'we can keep them in check' they say, and then before you know it I'm stuck doing a manual reboot of the multiverse. XD


But I need them! I don't want to have to go to the bank. Fine. You know that person who sits over on the corner of third street who always says that they can manipulate reality for a price? Well... I may have decided to call them on it and now it turns out that they were a hustler and I owe them a big bag of gold coins. Didn't even get anything good out of it.

Eh, I think as long as we throw some of the hands down there and occasionally trap a live person/monster down there, he'll keep going? I may have to sue you...

Yeah, I don't know either. I drink coffee, I just seem to harbour a hatred for those kinds of people? I'm not sure what you'd call them though? Falsely pretentious assholes?

Ah, but it'll be fine!! We can keep them in check! Plus when was the last time you really had to do a manual reboot of the multiverse? Not for a while right?

He tosses the pouch full of gold towards the bartender before, opening the other pouch. Grabbing a dice out of the pouch the boy looks at it. Runic symbols are encrested upon each side, and each symbol has a different colored glow to it.

Rolling the die, a symbol shines in front of the boy's face as the table turns into pure gold. 

"Sorry,"  he says as he lies his head on the now pure gold table.
"A two problems, I have no idea what popcorn chicken is, and you seem to be under the impression that we value gold here."


He puts his hand on the table it and the shine disappears as it turns back to the dull grimy wood underneath the boys head.

"Now, I will eat this pouch of gold that you've offered, it's only polite, but if you want my attention you should have led with a pouch full of souls."
"I don't have a pouch, only a chest full..." the boy sighed, "will that work?"
"Done!" The Keeper tries to look cool as he wipes drool of his chins. "Gonna need an Olympus Platter, two cups of water, and a mind bomb out here!" He yells at the kitchen, and something growls in response.


"Now, we're still going to need you to answer some questions about this 'popcorn chicken', first what's popcorn, second what's chicken, third is the recipe in any way evil?"
The dragon swiftly inhales its' food, as the boy finishes his bowl of popcorn chicken and cup of water. He lets out a sigh of relief as he looks at the bartender. 


"Say bartender this food tastes pretty good!" exclaims the boy as the baby dragon roars with happiness. 

"Say you made the dragon happy," the boy says as he looks at the bartender, "By any chance interested in a never-ending chicken leg?" 

"Picked it up from a fantasy dimension far off," the boy laughs as he tears off a piece. The chicken leg quickly grows back the piece.

Now now little one, don't have a hissy fit or we'll have to put you in timeout, we have a special corner where we put the self-proclaimed deities.
You'd be surprised how often it comes in handy, what all the little deities seem to have in common is they don't know how to behave :P

I just told you I have no idea what it is, but that boy over there seems to be able to produce them out of practically nothing. Ask him?

So, you're suggesting we create a Human-Pegasus-Unicorn hybrid, a true abomination of elitist pretension, and then what? Smash it into a pulp, strain it, parboil, until we finally distil the essence of smugness out of it? Because now that I say it out loud, that sounds delicious!

Change reality all you want, who cares, it can't get any worse, just stop it with the winking!


Seems he's not listening, or he's just being rude again, it's kind of adorable don't you think?

Once we have a working recipe we'll get someone else to do all the backbreaking work while we take all the profit, that's what they call being entrepreneurial. It's a bit too evil for my taste personally, but there's nothing more smug than someone who gets rich off someone else's work and think of themselves as 'self-made', so for this recipe it should work?

Awesome. I love that. Yeah exactly! We are self made! (Ignore the massive amount of funding in the background, like with Kylie Kardashian, it doesn't count). I think that should work? Do we need anything else for the cocktail?
