"Histy! I know what we can do with the other goddesses!"

"What? Neptune? And why did you suddenly yell out of nowhere?" replies Histoire, almost falling off her floating book.

"A tabletop game! All four of us, around a table, socializing, and all that stuff! That'll definitely increase our Lily Points together!" says Neptune excitedly.

"So, a board game? Wouldn't that just be a one-time game, that wouldn't be enough to increase any Lily Points at all," retorts Histoire.

"Well, yes, but this isn't any board game, it's a board game where you can delve into dungeons and defeat dragons!"

"...Don't you already do that for quests?" says Histoire in disbelief.

"You know that's not really fun to do, it's like that game where you control a little family you created and all you make them do is clean up and make sure the house is tidy, that's fun, but actually cleaning up, not fun! I mean there are literal games where the goal of the game is to clean up!"

"Alright! You made your point. What game would this be then? And all four of your can play together?"

"Yep! Actually, we'd need a 5th, so maybe Histy can be that 5th player!"

"Excuse me?"

"Yeah! Here, let me show you, wait here, actually go there by the table and take a seat... wait you're on your book anyway."

"Yes. I am on my book. Just go and get whatever it is you need to get."

"Be right back!"

Neptune runs off, leaving Histoire to float towards the table, wondering what in Gamindustri would Neptune pull out. She waits patiently with a sigh, while watching Neptune run around the Basilicom, rummaging around bookshelves, pulling out books. Histoire looks at her with a suspicious eye, as Neptune returns to place down a few books on the table.

"Here we go! These are the rules for the game," says Neptune with a slight haughty tone.

"...Neptune you can't even follow the basic rules of being a Goddess and you expect me to believe you can follow the rules of these books?"

"Details! It'll be fine, we can learn as we go!"

Histoire begins leafing through the books, checking the titles, all of them beginning with "Dungeons and Dragons", but each book clearly different. She starts reading the one that interests her the most, the "Dungeon Master Guide". Flipping a few pages here and there, Histoire sees that a lot of the pages detail rule management.

"Oh! Perfect!" blurted Neptune.

"What's perfect?"

"The book you started reading! I was going to ask you to be the Dungeon Master for the game."

"And what exactly is a Dungeon Master, in this game?"

"Um, they're basically the storyteller? Or I guess the referee? The person with the last say in things?"

"So do they actually play the game?"

"Of course! They're the ones who make up the whole world where the others do their adventures in, so they can control everything, like the monsters and non-players!"

"...Wait, are you telling me to do ALL the work? So the four of you can play around?!" yells out Histoire, preparing to toss the book at Neptune.

"W-wait! N-no! Of course not! There are things here called, um, modules! Pre-made adventures, so there's minimal preparation required! The maps, fights, and everything else is all there, you'd just need to maybe set up some things at most, like how the players need to set up our own characters!"

Histoire lowers the book and returns to reading it.

"Hm... so I'd have full control on what happens to all of you in the game, is that right?"

"Well, somewhat, I'm guessing this is a collaborative kind of game, like if everyone's unhappy with a decision you made, because you forced it then, I guess that's bad, sorta."

"It seems ... interesting. What about the other goddesses, do they know about this game?"

"Oh, um, I'm thinking probably not, but who knows, maybe I'll call them to meet up and ask, I'm thinking Vert might know..."

"So how much of the game do you actually know?"

Neptune flinches a bit, and begins to giggle, scratching the back of her head as well.

"Um, I know enough! Of course, I know enough!"

"You haven't just been reading things online and playing the game vicariously have you?"

"Uh... uh! I better ask the others now!" Neptune runs off, leaving the Basilicom.

"Of course, that's exactly what she did. My ulcer is going to get worse at this rate, but maybe this game would be good for everyone."

Histoire continues to read through the "Dungeon Master Guide", flipping through the pages back and forth, and even checking the other books, "Player's Handbook" and "Monster Manual", with a slight smirk on her face.
