[Meanwhile...]
Chris can be found just outside the area where they were, so he can be found easily enough.
"It kills them."
Gee, that's awfully specific of you.
The assassin hangs back and lets Carrie deal with her husband.
Angela tries to tackle-glomp Patty!
Sioda giggles and trots after Angela!
---
Hon, uh... what would you say if I said a certain someone had a big ol' crush on you?
Patty, who happened to be in the kitchen innocently being a cereal killer, is tackleglomped by her Goddess and best friend!
Eeeeep!"
...then giggles madly.
"Oh, hey Angela!"
Angela kisses Patty's lips, then, all a-quiver with joy, wordlessly shows her high priestess the ring on her finger.
Kyne just sighs in resignation when Carrie takes the very concept of subtlety itself out back with a shotgun to put it out of its misery.
To be fair, Carrie could be a lot less subtle, but the quiet assassin would have handled it differently. :smalltongue:
What kind of "huh okay" would that be?
I'm hoping it's the good kind.
---
Sioda watches them around the corner, gleeful.
"Nuclear...?" the bandaged man has no idea what that is. "Humanoids are set ablaze, demons and their ilk are hit with holy energy."
[Kitchen]
Patty returns Angela's kiss, then squees as she spots the ring.
"Omgoddessthat'sawesomewhoisit?" she gushes, managing to sound remarkably like Dani. :smalltongue:
"...The good kind of 'huh okay'." Chris says after a while. He's just kind of staring a bit at this point, not sure what's going to happen next. His mind right now is kind of like the inside of a clock if there was a tiny stick stuck in between a couple of the gears; there's an obstacle and the processes are getting stuck on it and it's just kind of being there.
Kyne looks like she's considering punching Chris. Because that was a crappy answer. Then he clarifies and, even though he said it was the good kind, he looks reluctant. Okay, look, I get it. Your life is complicated enough without me. Don't worry about it! Chris is under no obligation to love her back, after all.
Sioda, of course! Angela would be more offended, but it's kind of her fault that her own priestess has no idea who she's dating.
Sioda leans out around the corner and waves at Patty, grinning.
---
Carrie frowns, worried that Kyne will take that even worse.
Well, that makes sense. Kyne nods, feeling relieved that both the judgment is postponed and that someone, at least, is being logical about this. Because she and Carrie certainly aren't. Of course. Take all the time you need. I'll be around.
[Kitchen]
This makes Patty squeal even more, and she hugs Angela VERY tightly while waving for Sioda to come and join them.Threesome!
Chris is very visibly relieved at this, giving Kyne a thumbs-up to her. "Alright, cool, thanks Kyne. I appreciate it."
She jumps in to hug them, grinning.
Glad you're excited.
---
Carrie glances at Kyne, a little confused and rather glad she's not angry...
Angela continues to hug Patty! Do you think, as my high priestess, you would also be my matron of honor? It would be "maid", but Patty's technically married.
Kyne hesitates and then, with crimson cheeks, tries to hug Chris. Thanks for your help, though. With Carrie.
"...it'd be a great honor," Patty says, nodding eagerly but finally managing to contain her enthuiasm to somewhere below 1.4 Megadanis. She then kisses Angela's cheek, then Sioda's.
Carrie utterly fails to hide her "d'awwwwww".
---
Sioda grins.
This will be the best wedding. Just the best.
Kyne lets go of Chris, hesitates again, hugs Carrie, and poofs off, presumably to move her stuff back into her room.
We decided to be a big thing where we invite lots of people. So it won't be a completely Angelican ceremony. The lust goddess winks. Which is why I need you to plan the best bachelorette party you can think of.
Meanwhile, a young man appears in the base and sits in the secured, soundproofed conference room with Tobias. Your new identity is Bran Srailin, an orphan from Magopolis. Your inheritance wasn't enough to get your through the prestigious arcane academies, so you just bought books and taught yourself. Your natural giftedness helped with that. You came to the Nexus both to continue your autodidacticism in new venues and to search for magical items. You would like to be a Treasure Hunter Extraordinaire, if you will. As this is your first official assignment for the Royal Clandestine Agency, your primary objective is to gain experience in the field. You will certainly learn how to adapt to strange new things, at least. You also have three secondary objectives that you should pursue as the opportunity arises, but I don't want you to get killed over them. Gather intelligence about the people, entities, and groups within the Nexus. Identify evil targets within the Nexus for the RCA, Vulpanian military, or HALO to neutralize. And, as befitting your new identity, acquire artifacts for the RCA. The Nexus is a very dangerous place, so stay alert and keep on your toes. The Nexus is many things, but what it is not is worth dying for. If you feel like you are compromised, you may abort your mission at any time and either return here or signal for extraction. Consider this your final training exercise, but one that isn't a test. I wish you the best of luck, kid.
Patty winks back at Angela, and giggles madly.
"Oh, I think that's very much within the bounds of what I can come up with," she drawls, already plotting. And nodding in agreement with Sioda.
(dun Dun DUN!)
