Dramatis Personae
Kevin D. Rountree
Executive #1
Executive #2
Executive #3
The scene is an oak-lined board room with a giant black surfaced conference table. There are windows that overlooks the horrible Stormcast Eternal statue outside.
Kevin D. Rountree: we need a new idea for our next line of products.
Executive #1: Hmmmm. Let's think about possibly going with another videogame, Storm of Vengance was too cool.
Executive #3: We could make an official Chapter Mast....
Kevin: Nah! Our customers don't want that.
Executive #1: How about brooms? Could we introduce broom-flying witches to Age of Sigmar and sell those to people?
Kevin: Brilliant! But let's save some of our better ideas like that for next quarter. We don't want to give away all of the goodness at once.
Executives #1-3: Agreed!
Kevin: I'm thinking of something more... shall we say... smelly.
Executive #1: How about lavender scented floor cleaners? Everyone loves lavender!
Executive #2: How about pine smell?
Executive #3: (with a distant look) That smell is delicious!
Executive #1: Lavender or pine?
Executive #3: Lavender or pine, what?
Executive #2: You just said "That smell is delicious!" but it was unclear if your reference was to lavender or the pine.
Executive #1: Yeah.
Kevin: Executives, please! We're beginning to lose focus! Here's what I'm thinking. You know how Warhammer 40k references to all sort of smells in the lore? Well here's what we do. We put out a line of regular scented candles with outrageous names.
Executive #1: I like where you're going with this, sir.
Kevin: On top of that we can make it really expensive so that--
Executive #3: So that it's something that our fans would buy without any thought.
Kevin: (sits back) Precisely.
Executive #2: We could release them alongside plush toys so there's not any seriousness left on our company.
All: Agreed!
Kevin: Next order of business... The Emperor's long lost brother, Bob...
