"It's your turn," ::Odin confirmed with a nod. He felt the throbbing of a headache, which told him that he was pushing his tolerance, and he should switch to water soon.::

Morph had a confused expression on his face as he listened to Golem's explanation. It sort of made sense, but then again, it really didn't. "Okay," he said finally. Just to be on the safe side, he merely repeated their last order to the bartender, then turned to the others. "Major question, guys," he said. "Who do you want to see on the cover?"

Golem propped his chin on a hand, thinking for a moment (and also because his head was feeling a little strange. He should probably drink more slowly.). "I´d say ... either some important mutant or a pretty girl." he said spontaneously and with a somewhat boyish half grin. "Or something extraordinary that makes the magazine sorta... shine out from the stack of magazines but right now I have no idea what that could be."

::When Morph put in for the next round, Odin requested that a glass of water be sent down as well; he needed to alternate his drinks or he wouldn't be able to get home. When it arrived, he sipped it while considering Morph's question.:: "I second the extraordinary idea, and I don't think that a pretty girl will do the trick. There are too many fashion magazines that use the gimmick."

"Extraordinary?" Kevin asked, also propping his head on his hand like Golem did. "Like what, like a 3D model of a DNA string?" He personally preferred a face on the cover since anything else would strike public as being scientific or political, or any other synonym of 'boring'.

"Nah." Golem said, shaking his head. "I dunno, that might make us look like something too specific, something we don´t wanna be. I was more thinking along the lines of... an unusual face for example. We´re a mutant magazine, our cover should stick out from the crowd and that might work if the cover girl has, let´s say violet hair or two differet eye colours. Something like this maybe."

::Odin could see the reasons not to use a DNA print, although it was a surefire way to make *him* notice a magazine; he'd learned years ago that he wasn't representative of any particular group, and certainly not of the masses. Golem's clarification was something he agreed with more readily and voiced the opinion.:: "That's certainly not overdone."

"Hm," Kevin nodded. He imagined a possible cover with something like that; it could work, he thought. It seemed to him that a completely unfamiliar face brought just as high chances of a cover being noticed as a compeltely famous face did, although he had no education on this part and didn't know how the market worked. "We might even have a candidate for a picture like that," he said. "That girl you introduced to me, Odin..." Kevin snapped his fingers a few times, trying to remember her name. He was really bad with names.

"Stacy," ::Odin supplied, before taking a sip of his water. That sent mixed signals regarding Stacy's chances at the magazine; on the one hand, he was considering her as the Cover Girl, but on the other, he couldn't remember what her name was. He would help nudge this in her favor as well he could.:: "She'd be happy to pose."

"Right," Kevin nodded. He looked at his drink and drank some of it, deciding he didn't want to finish the rest. "Well, I really have no other ideas to bring up," he added.

Golem had been listening for a moment while the two men were talking, taking another sip of his drink. He was starting to consider when he would reach the point where he would have to decide to either keep drinking and make a feeling of tipsyness a proper hangover to be or go back to water. That point, he knew, would soon be reaced, but he had not decided for his course of action there yet. "Well, sounds pretty much like an idea to me." he said, referring to Morph´s words."

::Odin finished the rest of his water and then went to take a long sip from the drink that had come on Morph's round. He would need to be careful, because he was on the brink of pushing his alcohol limit.:: "It sounds like we have a plan."

Morph exhaled through his nose with a small smile. He was feeling tired and slightly too drunk to feel business-like anymore. "In that case, gentlemen," he said, "I don't know about the two of you but I definitely feel accomplished and I can now go home and get some well-deserved rest."

"Rest doesn´t sound too bad." Elias agreed, giving his half empty drink a glance. "It´s either that for me or getting hopelessly drunk and something tells me a nice cozy bed would be the better option."

::Odin couldn't fault the other men for intending to go home and sleep; the day had been exhausting, and the possible repercussions infuriating. He was far too restless to return, and he knew he wouldn't sleep. Due to that, he'd have another drink or two.:: "Then I'll bid you both a good night and see you at work Monday."
