Question: So is there a Butters [short story] coming out as well?
Yes; Butters’ first mission as a Knight of the Cross. He’s out doing cardio with Michael; he’s doing the Rocky thing, he’s doing his training montage. And he sees something and trips over a trash can, and Michael says, “What’s wrong?”
And Butters looks at him and says, “You don’t see that?”
And Michael’s like, “See what?”
And Butters says, “That bum on the bench over there, there’s a big yellow exclamation point floating over him.”
And Michael’s like, “No, I don’t see that.”
And Butters gets to be like, “I’m not crazy. My mother had me tested.”
Michael’s like, “Well what does that mean to you?”
And Butters says, “Well that’s what you see over an NPC in an MMORPG any time there’s a quest that you need to go do.”
Yeah, it’s coming up as an MMORPG quest for him.
And Michael’s like, “You used a lot of letters there, and I did not understand anything you said – but it sounds like that’s what the quest is.”
And Butters is like, “God speaks video game?”
And Michael’s like, “God speaks whatever it is you understand. So maybe you should go talk to that guy.”
And that’s where it gets started; and then he winds up in all kinds of trouble after that.
