Gracious: Hey, do you remember that we wanted to write a children's book?
Donegan: Of course!
Gracious: Because I got an idea on how we could make it more... You know, child-friendly.
Donegan: I liked the main idea. Kids love this "where's Waldo" thing.
Fletcher: "Where's Waldo", yes. Chainsaw murderer, no.
Donegan: Why not?
Fletcher: Are you crazy? Children shouldn't see so much blood and gore!
Gracious: That's what I thought of as well. What if we make them blue and say it were some aliens or fantasy people instead of humans?
Fletcher: I don't think that's any better... If they still get hunted down by the chainsaw murderer.
Donegan: Well I like that idea. It's not as serious as before. Besides, children like fantasy people better than real people.
Fletcher: That doesn't change the fact that they are hunted by a CHAINSAW MURDERER. That's not good for kids in any way!
Gracious: It's not good for us as well but it's just a book. It's not real.
Donegan: Right. It just encourages to use your own fantasy.
Fletcher: And causes heavy nightmares. Which publisher would buy that from you?
Gracious: Oh, I know someone...
Fletcher: You can't do that! Did you ever hear of youth protection and age limits?
Donegan: Youth protection?
Gracious: Age limits?
Fletcher: Are you serious?!
Gracious: Haha, no. Of course not. We not what that is.
Donegan: Exactly. But books don't get any PG rating, that's only for movies and games.
Fletcher: So you want to risk your readers mental health?
Donegan: That got nothing to do with it.
Fletcher: ... It does?! Why don't you understand? Chainsaw murderers aren't a topic for children!
Gracious: But if we change it so that...
Fletcher: No!
Gracious: ... That it's not a chainsaw murderer?
Donegan: Rather?
Gracious: A blood thirsty beast! Like the one we saw in that village before we got to Tokyo, do you remember?
Fletcher: No.
Donegan: Ah, I remember! That was damn huge.
Fletcher: No.
Gracious: As I say! And damn blood thirsty.
Fletcher: No.
Donegan: It was. That would be an interesting protagonist.
Fletcher: No.
Gracious: And it would just be another fantasy figure for the children since they don't know about real magic and real monsters.
Fletcher: NO. Stop it!
Donegan: What?
Fletcher: First: You ignore me. Second: You can't put blood and monsters and dead guys in children's books!
Gracious: ... Dead, not gender specific people, hehe.
Fletcher: Huh?
Donegan: Oh, you're talking about the Dead Men!
Gracious: Well, since Valkyrie is with them they need a new name. They should move with the times.
Donegan:I don't know. But I can imagine they already had this discussion...
Fletcher: That's irrelevant! I gotta prevent you from publishing such a gruesome book.
Donegan: :c
Gracious: :C
Fletcher: Make it less bloody or it will be a flop. That I can promise.
Donegan: Do you really think so...?
Gracious: But we'd have to throw away our whole concept!
Donegan: Our unique selling point!
Fletcher: I think you should talk about that with a real author...
Donegan: GORDON
Gracious: GORDON
Donegan: MY FAVOURITE AUTHOR
Gracious: MINE AS WELL
Fletcher: .... For god's sake.
