*

How to de-slime a slug:

1. Buy salt

2. Use it

*

PotionCon??

*

Ask to borrow Lynn’s spellforge.

Unless she’s still in River Realm.

Then just use it.

*

Call Gorbo the Grand about lizard thing.

Then ask about PotionCon. Is he going?

“The Grand” is a great title. Jealous.

*

“PotionCon” on the 8th of Arctuxion.

“Amateur Showcase” on Day 2.

Best creator wins Guild Admission!

This is my chance!!

*

Amateur Showcase judges:

– Orzurath the Pink (Don’t call them Pinky)

– Madam Longstrider (Invented the money tree. Super rich.)

– Varath Var (Do NOT stutter. Hates that.)

*

What to bring to the Showcase:

– Golem (with pants) blueprints

– Contraceptive potion recipe

– 4 vials of Panacea

– Slug de-slime instructions

– Confidence!

*

Get voice lessons to remove nervous stutter.

Ideally, book it for last week…before I screwed up my one chance…

*

I give up.

*

Disconnect phone.

Too many people asking how I am.

*

Go outside.

*

Go outside again.

*

Call “Zeal and Sealant”.

Start working!

All out of Panacea.

*

Remember:

I lost, but it’s their loss.

Not mine.

*

You are worth it!
