Harmony doesn’t realize you’re trying to date her for a good chunk of it; she’s too focused hooking up other prospective couples, throuples, and tangled polycules. She does, however, truly enjoy the company and tries to make sure you’re both having a great time.
You have to be blunt about actually dating her, but it’s worth it when you are. She gets unreasonably excited. She also gets a bit nervous, she’s not really sure what to do; but I know you, you’re a very encouraging sort.
Everything works out well. Harmony gives you many snuggles and then offers to drown your enemies. It’s a good time.
Amber, as her human self, is happy to let you choose dating locations. She’s quiet but thoughtful. You go ice skating and she smiles for the first time. It’s wholesome. Everything culminates when she asks you to attend a ritual with her at the graveyard; a moment shared with a love lost.
She’s obviously very responsive here. I think you would have a lovely time on this path.
Voldemort is my trainer for my new employment at McDonalds. I feel like, so long as I was loyal to the brand, he’d be pretty chill?
Getting Fahl as my lab assignment for a whole semester would probably be cool! I feel like he’d actually make a decent lab partner and wouldn’t be too horrible.
And…I guess that leaves me on an elevator for 10 hours with Little Finger…..eugh
Wow I didn’t know Venus was that into puns but that’s seriously amazing.
The pun was my idea.
Venus’ reasoning for handling Marian’s destiny as she did is actually much more heartwarming?
Other members of the party, in a sense, lost parts of their destinies to create their new power (if I was reading everything right).
Isao, our Eclipse, had the many endings his hands would have brought (from men to tyrannies to bloodshed) woven into gloves so that he may use their potential to bring down the Morrigan.
Knott, the Dawn, had the fate of journeys never traveled woven into his wife (who is also his mount and a horse/dragon thing) to make her the swiftest being within Creation; perhaps so that the Morrigan might not see them coming.
But Venus knew that Marian would die a hundred times over before losing a love. Her family, her children, her beloveds. All of the heartache and the devotion. All of the hope and support. So Venus wove all of that back into Marian herself. To add to her strength; so that she would lose nothing and still draw power from beyond herself.
And this is all after helping Marian use True Love’s Kiss to keep Discord (antagonist turned ally by virtue of accidental romantic entanglement) from being possessed by the Morrigan and shredding the party.
I am okay. I got plenty of hugs when the thing happened. @greensunprincess and I were watching @aspectofphoenix play and when everything went down we paused and they made sure I was alright.
The additional virtual hugs are also nice. It’s nice to know you’re all looking out for me.
It’s been difficult, but very rewarding. My supervisors are very happy with my work. I feel like an important part of the team and that makes work easier.
