    Summary

    Mike randomly includes a mysterious, recurring NPC in one of their summer 1989 campaigns - a male tower guard who appears to be interested in Will. Will is a little apprehensive and confused at first, but Lucas, Dustin, and Max are very much intrigued.

    The guard seems to be hiding something crucial for moving the campaign forward, but it turns out Will is the only one who can get him to talk... by charming him.
     

    (Inspired by that one post “Was playing DnD and started flirting with the tavern keeper to get some info and at a certain point I realized I was just dirty talking with my buddy Ben.”)

    Summary

    “It was El who broke up with you, though. It’s not like it’s your fault she fell out of love,” Will offered. “That was what she said right?”
    For a second their eyes met, but Mike quickly glanced away. He’d been doing that more often recently. Will could understand. Holding eye contact lately… ever since they were spending nights lying awake next to each other, sometimes talking, but mostly pretending to sleep… Let’s say it felt harder than usual to hold Mike’s gaze for him as well.
    “… Yes,” Mike answered. “Right. She said that,” he added as if to remind himself.
    A loud snort from the main hall pierced through their conversation. “Oh, please.” Murray mocked from the couch. Will and Mike both turned their heads to stare at him with pinched expressions.
    “What?” Murray exclaimed. “Falling out of love is not the reason El broke up with you.”

    OR: Mike and Will get Murray’d and deal with the consequences.
    (But, of course that alone won’t be enough to completely burn Mike’s intense repression, so we’re going to rely on our good old friend Vecna to give Mike some insight into his own mind…)
