Rumble Rock of the Fins had just finished the latest rendition, of a song already in their catalogue. Sitting on their guitar case, they sigh, plucking at a string on their prized instrument. They find their current performances lackluster, their sounds as of late feeling feeling…..stale. They came here looking for inspiration, but they've yet to find any. It's frustrating.

They point at their companion, who had been following them around as if they were some sort of circus for the last couple days.
"I'd ask ya how that was, but ya'd just say its fine, wouldn't ya?"
"…Well, yes. I think it was fine."
"Aaaaah I must be honest! I don't think the crowd was very excited!"
"I guess we should think of hiring a new performer. They're kind of getting tired of your songs."
"NOT THAT YOUR MUSIC IS BAD IT'S JUST THAT AFTER A FEW DAYS YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO SOMETHING NEW!"

"Exactly! It's stale, that's what it is! Even I'm gettin' tired of em."
"I need somethin' exciting. I thought a place home to creatures such as dragonkin would have more inspiration! VIBES!!"

"WE HAVE PEOPLE DYING LEFT AND RIGHT, IS THAT NOT INSPIRING ENOUGH OR ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ANOTHER TYPE."
"NOT AT ALL!!"
"HOW am i supposed to spin a song with an inspiring lesson if its all 'bout murder?"
"Oooooh you want happy lessons!"
"Well things have been a little moody, maybe we can go talk to people who are having a bad time and solve their problems, or maybe we can explore the island! Just tell me what you want to do. I'm here to help!"
"Moody is an understatement i think."
"Let's go help people! That's always a good way to get some nice ole inspiration. The issues of the people!"

"Well, what sort of people do you two want to help with? There's a few folks I know who can really use some talking to!" Lulove says, before offering some ideas.


  1. A snooty guy and his pet skeleton

  2. The messed up sea captain

  3. A large fully grown tiger

"If you're looking for someone more peppy, I say we go with the tiger, but I do feel like the first two would have more of that deep story you can put into a song. I guess it depends if you want Pop or not."
"Let's do the pet skeleton dude! That sounds like interestin' content."

"Skeleton's are always wonderfully fun to play with. I had a few back at my laboratory I could pose."
"Yeah! I think lots of vampwelfs have pet skeletons!"
"UH ACTUALLY MAYBE I SHOULDN'T BE SO EXCITED ABOUT THAT. THAT'S BAD. HAVING PET SKELETONS IS BAD."
"WOW! Vampwelfs sure are interestin'!"
"Anyway follow me! We're not too far off. These guys are just renting the house up the road." Lulove sprints ahead of the others, knocking on the door of the small rented manor.

"Oh thank goodness! It has been hours! Hours I say! That the sink has been broken! As a Castellan I'm offended at how slow this service is. I would have fixed it myself, but your alien tech is nonsense!"
"Aww, it's not that hard!"

"My sink is connected to this wifi nonsense, and worse yet, it has some sort of scanning system?"
"Yeah! So you can track your water usage on the app, and also check if your hands are clean!"
"I have eyes. I can see if my hands are clean, and I'm not getting some sort of, app for a sink. Why is it not just made out of simple lead pipes?"
"BUT HOW WILL YOU KNOW IF YOU DRANK THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF WATER WITHOUT THE APP TELLING YOU?"

"WOW!! ANYWWAYSYS what's the vibes my dude? Did ya pet skeleton break the wiffy thing….whatever?"
"The thing behind you doesn't seem to be speaking any language I know."

"(Woah….crazy.)"
"Sorry I forgot."
"I am EVER so sorry for my intrusion, skeleton pet guy, but if you will pardon our intrusion we wish to…. Uh…remedy the problem at hand."
"Viktor do somethin', I'm like strugglin' here."
"I do not own a pet skeleton."
"I'm housesitting for Boris Drakken's pet skeleton." Edger eyes Viktor.
"Oh hohoho! Another fellow vampwelf!"

Edger takes out a book on houses and flips through it silently.
"Aaaaah, house Volkairn! That one. Sorry, it's such a weak and lowly house compared to mine that I couldn't even remember it off the top of my head!"

"Only one castle belongs to the Volkairn family? Would be a shame if something happened to it. I see why you're working as a plumber for aliens now. Much more of a well paying job I assume."
"(Hey dragonkin, are vampwelf usually like this?)"
". . ."
"I work as no plumber. I am a man of science! In fact, this jester works for me. I have plenty who work under me back home."
"STOP TELLING EVERYONE IM A JESTER."
"Oh you have a jester that doesn't listen to you? How sad. Also I fully understand you, was it, Viktor? Yes. A plumber is a man of science! Please, please, come into my manor and fix my sink for me, science man."
"I AM NOT FIXING YOUR DAMNED SINK. drown."
"We're actually suppose to be here to solve your personal problems and make a cool song out of it!"
"Oh, eww! Are these artists? Artists belong in the basement and attics, only their works should be allowed onto the main floor!"
"That's right! I'm a MUSICIAN!"
"Wait what"
"You serious?"
"Yes. The artists belong there. They like it in the basement."

"They often think the main rooms are "too loud", "filled too much with personal drama", and "not conductive to the inspiration that loneliness can bring." Frankly, artists are too moody for me."
"I wonder why."
"Don't act like your house isn't loud, Sir, I come from a family of whores!"
"We all know what parties your family is running. Red Tulips on your family crest. Your family could not make it more obvious where their real power comes from."
"Well good for ya! I'm not moody at all!"
"In fact i think that your vibes could make for a GREAT song. I bet you have a great rich person problem to fix that could make something super duper funny!"
"Yes! Write about how he cannot work his sink, lest he dirty his poor hands."
"I can work a sink just fine. This sink on the other hand has wifi and an app......."
"You know how you could one up me?....."
"YOU COULD FIX MY SINK!"
"I'M STARTING TO FEEL LIKE HE'S HAVING WITHDRAWALS DUE TO THE LACK OF LEAD IN THE WATER."
"FIX YOUR OWN SINK."

"I'm great at helping people."
"(I think!)"
"Thank you so much tailed for being cooperative."
"Knight, grab this peasant and throw him away from my rental."
"As you say, Castellan Edger." The knight takes a few steps towards Viktor before pausing.
"I cannot touch this one, Castellan Edger."

"Why not? It's not like he's highly-ranked! If his family even mumbled a complaint, the entirety of house Drakken would crush them in an instant!"
"He's a fey boy."
"How can you tell he's a fey boy just from looking at him?"
"Woah…. The skeleton…"
"The way he holds himself.....he looks like many of the fey boys I've had to execute."
"I may not like this man, but calling him a fey boy is going too far!"
"My apologizes, Viktor, such wording should not be used. You may be a lowly vampwelf from an unsightly family, but you're not a fey boy."
". . ."
"I like this guy he's funny."
"Thank you for the apology. I shall accept it."
"You're welcome. You're free to enter my manor and have some food while you hopefully fix my sink."

"We should not let a fey boy into the manor. What if he curses your unmarried servants?"
"First off, stop calling him a fey boy! Second off, the only unmarried servant I have is YOU! I'm sure that even if he was a fey boy, which he is not, that you could protect yourself from falling in love."

"If Viktor's curse is love it's defective, cuz I've never seen it work!"
"You, Viktor. You would never date such a tall servant such as my knight, would you? I do not ask this as an insult, I ask this to comfort my paranoid knight."
"Of course not! I have no such interest in men."
"*Any men."
"Any men."
"Any men!"
"I hope that's enough to comfort you, Mad Knight."
"If you say so, but I will have my eyes on him."

Edger Drakken leads the group into the kitchen, where the sink appears to refuse to give out any more water if a cup is placed under it. "Here is the malfunctioning unit."
"Let me see." Rumble Rock inspects the sink, despite not knowing what they're looking at.
Rumble Rock rolls a 20 sided die. A 15 is rolled.

Rumble Rock sees that the sink wants the user to connect to the app.

They point at the indication.
"It wants something! Do i need a rock yet?"
"I don't see how a rock can solve this problem but the customary rock is in the back of the far left cabinet in the kitchen."
"As is customary."
"As is customary."
"(What would you do with a rock?)"

Rumble Rock keeps hitting the sink with the rock but fails to do anything of meaning to it.

"UH DO YOU WANT ME TO CALL AN ACTUAL PLUMBER CAUSE HE'S KIND OF BUSY?"
"I have a feeling this sink isn't getting fixed anytime soon."
"Whoops! I thought for sure that'd work."
"Castellan Edger, we must get rid of the fey boy. The air in this room is becoming toxic by the moment."
"One, this has nothing to do with my sink. Two, he's not a fey boy! You're the one who is starting to sound feyish. Maybe you should stop focusing on him!"
"Plumber, try the rock again. I honestly felt as if you were on to something."
"GOT IT!" Hell yeah they love hitting things with rocks!
They're bashing this sink with a rock so hard.
Rumble Rock rolls a 20 sided die. An 18 is rolled.

Rumble Rock breaks the computer on the sink. The sink seems to work normally now!

"Finally, I can have some water. I'm so parched."
"Hell yeah man! Glad i could help!"
"Thank you for solving my issue. I hope this is the musical inspiration you wanted."
"Not quite....I'm sure we were looking for something more emotional!"

"Even still, I bet I could use this experience for something!"
"You're not going to get any problems out of me. I'm flawless. You can speak to the Mad Knight. I'm sure he has problems worth noting."
"(…Perhaps I overthink things too much if you used the rock to solve it.)"
"…maybe I will sometime. Knights have all kinds of cool problems and stories too!"
"I think instead of looking to me for problems, you should look closer." The knight has put on gloves to lift Viktor up.
"The amount of problems leaking out of this fey mutt is overwhelming. I'm sure aliens would love all the fruity songs one could make about a vampwelf like this."

"I can't believe I didn't realize before!"
"I'm only going to put you down once I throw you out of this manor."
"I do not know what your family does. But you will not soil Drakken sheets by being in here!"
"My apologies. The Mad Knight was attacked by a fey this morning and I believe he is still skittish about it."
"He's more than mad, i would say! Why you have not locked him away is beyond me!"
"cuz he's funny?"
"Because Boris thinks he's funny and to go against Boris is to have your head splattered against a wall. Thus your guess is true."
The Knight throws Viktor outside, taking off his gloves and throwing them afterwards. "BACK TO THE WOODS WHERE YOU BELONG, FEY BOY!"

"....but......"

"You know what."
Viktor walked up to the knight, pressing down on one of his hands.

"I curse you. Sleep with your eyes open tonight."
"Castellan Edger, is he cursing me with a lack of sleep, or is he saying that he's going to seduce me?"
"Honestly I cannot tell."
"If you are flirting with Boris' Mad Knight, I warn you to stay away! I will not have you seduce him! Boris will not find it funny! (I think!) And if you're cursing him to a lack of sleep, please refrain! I'd like to get some rest in the mornings."
Skeleton King grips the hand Viktor touched him with. "I'm going to throw you far, fey boy."
"Oh no."
But, he doesn't let go.
"I can't tell if he realized the futility of throwing a vampwelf, or he's in shock."
"I believe he's too mad to tell what a joke is, unfortunately."
"Mmaybe both!"
"Not to agree with the Mad Knight, but don't you think that holding a man's hand is quite a particular "joke?""
"It reminds me when Lady Aratoth slept with Duke Ferkarn "as a joke.""

"Tsk, aliens hold hands all the time! Besides, I am not the one with a death grip."
"Ok but you are no alien! To lower yourself to alien standards...disgusting!"
". . . I may have mispoken."
"Pretty big misspeak, huh?"
"Silence."
"The fact that you held hands with someone, just like that.....not even the hand of your wife...."
"So the myths about your house are true, huh? You all engage in such lewd acts! Unmarried! You know, I don't see a wedding bite on you. Are you even a married man?"

"And I happen to be looking for a dragon! A very important task! What does your family have you doing, out here, fixing a man's plumbing and holding the hands of a man's Knight!"
"THE DRAGON ACTUALLY GOT OUT THIS MORNING."
".................."
"I DON'T THINK I WAS MEANT TO SAY THAT!"
"Hmmm. Maybe something useful came out of this after all."
"Knight, throw this peasant, we have more important things to do."
"As you wish, Castellan Edger." The Skeleton King finally breaks out of his fear trance long enough to chuck Viktor away.
"If he's a smart vampwelf, he'll remember he can fly."
