A text message.

With almost all your D&D stuff put away your cell chimes that you have a text message.

Glancing down at your phone - it's from a number you don't recognize. The text reads:

555-836-9723: Love your youtube channel. I have some questions about D&D. David, the Ravagener, gave me your number. Could we chat if you're free?

“Hmpt.” You mumble to yourself a bit vexed that Dave broke the code about giving out your number to strangers, especially about D&D.

You had to made that rule since your roleplaying youtube channel, “The Green Griffon Inn” hit 75k+ subs. It originally started out as a lark, making silly videos reviewing rpg stuff and giving out gaming advice. Yeah, the extra money from its popularity is nice but the notoriety it has brought in from the D&D community is of a mix blessing. Having made the mistake of giving out your location on a couple of early videos you now get frequent requests to join your group. You've turned them all down, except Vivian's request to have Sandra join, which has certainly worked out.

Dave giving out your number, however, is another thing, and a bit unlike him.

“Yeah, he likes to kid around but he has always been a loyal friend.” You ponder. “But why would he give out my number to some rando guy.” And then it hits yous, “Unless, he is a she and she is cute.”
