Gather up whatever metal mugs they got 'round. Reckon there's gotta be a couple.

[brb doing as told. she definitely doesn't get too many, but feel free to choose the number!

(she may stumble a little on her way, but she's careful enough and doesn't drop anything so far)]

[ Two or three sounds like plenty. ]

Alright now lil' Miss, what kinda design ya think best suits a drink like The Drink?

Something serious. Maybe something classic, or industrial...? Emphasis on the The of "The Drink," if you know what I mean. To convey that "The realest drink is in this mug."

Marketing-wise, that can tie the bold and borderline utilitarian simplicity of the name of the drink to what it actually is, which is a comfort drink. And then the contrast between its presentation and the drink itself becomes an experience for the customer. The story of how, after a hard day's work, in a hard-worker's life, you come home and you have a loving family and a warm bed waiting for you.

... Ya got one helluva tongue fer marketin'.

Marketing speak needs to be plainer when it's aimed for the customer, but that was more pitch-oriented.

Does that mean I sold you my concept?

Ya sure did. Lemme get ta moldin' an' ya can point out parts ya wanna change.

[ Taking a metal cup and starts molding it like it's clay. ]

Wow.

[watching]

Does it feel like clay to you now?

Hmm... a lil, but different? Stiffer fer sure, but smoother too.

[ Pulling his hand back to give her room to touch it if she wants. ]

Don't move an inch if'n I ain't focusin' my blessin' on it.

O-Okay.

I'm doing this.

[touches it. with her full palm]

[ It's just... solid metal under her touch. Like it's always been shaped like this. ]

See what I mean?

[knocks on it lightly]

That's amazing.

What would happen if you were working on it and someone suddenly stuck their hand in there?

[im sorry she's like this]

Only the parts I'm directly touchin' will shape, so unless yer finger's right where mine is, it ain't gonna budge.

[ Wow it's like someone's done that before. ]
