    Congratulations to Telli for the Big Bertha entry! I'll find you IC for your prize!


  • "Does anyone know what this hand-cannon actually does?" Tibido asks a few folk near the ballot box. "It would help in naming the thing." Getting no answers, he shrugs, writes a few things down on slips of paper, and moves to drop a name in the ballot box.

    "Precision-Point Perforator."

    He's stopped by Benji or one of his assistants, given that the naming part of the contest is over. "Oh." He then nods and votes instead.

    //BUMP! Voting ends soon… I think. A week or a couple days or something.

    Benji shouts at people and points at the voting box.

    Vote to name my crossbow! It's important!

  • Elidur stands for about twenty minutes with several pages of real, quality paper - every so often he'll get 'that look' in his eye as though he's thought of something genius, and continually drops notes into Benji's box.

    _Benji unfolds and sorts through the recent entries. He stops and leans in to squint carefully at one of them. Immediately he blushes and looks up and around with a stupid grin on his face.

    He pockets the entries and shuffles off._

    @a032b76e7a=Grak01:

    Grak snickers all the while he drops down his signed sheet of paper

    • "Da-only-thing-dat-shorty-Benji-cans-play-his-fingers-on-now that female-shorty-chose-other"
    • "shorty's only friend"
    • "Poor shoddy thing"
    • "ugly-shite"
    • "Bolt-eater"
    • "Misser"
    • "Waste Of Wood"
    • "Shorty-Marie"

    Benji reads the entries, blinks, then crumples them into a ball. He unfolds a small piece of paper from his jacket pocket, scrawls the name 'Grak', then tucks it away.


  • Getting into the spirit of the thing, Perriwig repairs to a nearby hostelry, emerging clutching his wine-splash and cigar-ash stained second suggestions…

    "Benji's Minute Peashootin' Root-tooter"

    "Chauntea's Own Environmentally Sustainable Fair Trade Blunderbuss"

    "Captain Crossbow and his Quarrelling, Pointy-Hatted Privates"
