"Here meaning a precursor to a sentence, an icebreaker into one's thoughts whereas the traditional meaning would be an underground reservoir, a natural containment of water upon which one may draw when thirsty."
"Oh GOD, who let Lumi watch Unfortunate Events?"
@chibibo threw his hands up. "I don't have the family account password."
Lumi narrowed his eyes. "Don't you? I'm fairly sure you do."
@Rydia stomped her foot and nearly squished @Carl, who was Kawaii. "Enough expository banter! You'll have time to Net and Flick all you want once the dragon is slain!" She crossed her arms. "We seem to have a party of five dedicated fighters here...so that means we're rolling Final Fantasy 4 style." She sighed. "Thank God, too. Right in my wheelhouse."
chibibo and Lumi exchanged glances before @Nutty thwacked them with a Phoenix Down. "Rydia is a Summoner from FF4, you Slowbros."
"Hey, that's right!" Lumi said. "If we went with Pokemon, we could be a team of six and bring more peop--" Another thwack, this time from @Steggy, who was already dressed as a Bard.
"Take this away from me and I will restore mana by playing your ribcage like a marimba."
"Much brutal."
"So effective."
"Wow."
Rydia clapped her hands and focused. "Alright, so. So, uhm. Portals. Right. Lumi?"
"What, like Hunter's been doing?"
"And Fox."
"And their whole ragtag team," interjected chibibo.
"I, er. Well, see, the thing is."
"Dear lord," facepalmed Rydia. "You didn't pay your portal bill, did you?"
"I was on my way to pay it when chibibo stopped me to vote on the next Pokebook title since we had everyone in one place for once."
"Fiiiiine." Rydia tossed a SB CREW RULEZ bomb on the ground and opened a portal to the SB tower. "Everyone in! A battle awaits!"

There, in the forest clearing beneath Storybook Tower, was utter bedlam and mayhem. The dragon let out a bellowing, calamitous roar; the earth shook. The party looked between one another, nodded, and jumped into battle.
As the others began slinging spells, arrows, and songs, Lumi suddenly dreaded his decision to don the role of tank.
"Stop dreading the decision to don the role of tank!" shouted chibibo, who emphatically cast CURE on him. "I got you!"
Lumi puffed out his chest and grabbed his axe, going after the dragon with a yell that ranged completely from the belly-shaking bottom of his register to the top of his voice cracking in fear. His axe planted in the Dragon's foot, and he was immediately taken for a ride through the air. His job as a distraction was working, though, because the others were getting their jobs done quite efficiently--why, Rydia even had a mighty bearded judge summoned, who was unleashing a flurry of storms on the dragon's underbelly.
Nutty kicked and punched in quick succession and with graceful movements, dodging brutal backlash from the dragon's appendages.
Lumi, finally having his axe free, lunged from the dragon's claw and towards its head for what was to be a heroic coup de grace.
But as sure as Steggy's arrows flew, and as clearly as chibibo's healing spells cast, I can assure you, reader, that in these scenarios, there would never be such a thing as a heroic coup de grace.
For at the last moment, the dragon, having reeled from an onslaught of attacks, reared his head, mouth agape, and, well.
Which in this scenario is a term meaning that I would rather not tell you how Lumi's HP was reduced to 0 in an instant, or how he could not be resurrected by spells or limit breaks.
In this scenario, well means that the dragon swallowed Lumi.
