    ... Wait, you're a princess...
    What does that make me, besides lacking the padding I'll probably need for future glomps like this?

    It's so damn easy to forget she's a princess, even if you're wanting to marry her!

    Carrie herself is quite easy to find, staring out a window at some pretty coral.

    Blushing a little, Kyne follows Chris. Could you... just check if she even wants to see me?


    The foxgirl shrugs, massively indifferent to this sort of thing. A princess-in-law? I don't know. Right now, Matt's the heir to the throne, but that could get changed to Jamie or even Hadrian. Pretty sure we won't have to do anything official...

    Chris smiles reassuringly. "Yeah, yeah no problem."

    Chris then turns around and walks towards Carrie. He places a hand on her shoulder. "Hey there honey."

    Angela bounces up and rights the toppled chair with a giggle. What kind of wedding do you want?


    Meanwhile, as part of the fangirl contingency plan, a Tom Hiddleston android is walking around the base, electrified enough to knock out anyone who glomps him.

    Hmm... Maybe a big one. Everyone else who got married here either eloped like Matt and Ari or had a small private wedding, like my parents. Angela grins. We both have goddess powers, so money isn't an obstacle. We can have a really big event!

    Kyne hears what Carrie says, swallows nervously, and steps around the corner. She's still wearing her black armor and has the scar on her neck revealed. She tries to meet the winged goddess' eyes and braces herself for the worst.


    Only counting active PCs, aren't Angela's priestesses just Patty, Dani, and Tsiln? Or am I missing somebody?
    Or you can be the groom and pick a best man who can throw you an awesome bachelor party! Angela giggles some more.

    Well, it could be awkwardly hilarious if he were to run into Civvy in a random hallway.

    Chris nods his head, and gives her a kiss on the forehead. "Thanks love." Chris walks towards Kyne and nods his head. "She'll see you. If you want, I can wait outside, or I can stay here either way."

    The bandaged man notices Civvy, and freezes in place. He has to remind himself that this isn't the Goddess of Despair, and barely notices that his hand is already nearing his revolver.

    Well, Civvy's busy reading some sort of happy cheerful book, so she doesn't notice at all.
    But she's humming adorably.

    How can anything that friendly and adorable be eviiiil?

    Chris? I don't know what other guys you know. Tobias is already giving Angela away at the wedding, though.


    Kyne believes that Carrie is about to try to hurt her again, in a more physical manner this time. She could easily stop it, but figures that Carrie has the right to hit her at least once. What she is less sure about is if she's going to just accept the hit, or accept the hit and then hit back. So she just waits.

    Carrie tries to grab her and abruptly bury her face in Kyne's chest by way of a sort of headbutt. And another. And another. Thump thump thump.
    She begins to cry into her friend(?[?{?}])'s chest, but not before whimpering a little about Kyne's stupid meteor-iron carbonox adamantium sternum.
    It's a pretty enthusiastic bout of tears she'll have.

    "This is not the bringer of Plague," the bandaged man says, mostly to himself. He allows his hand to relax, and somehow manages to look less tense.

    If Civvy heard, she makes no move to do . . . well . . . anything about it.
    She's lost in her book. And humming. Can't forget the humming.

    This... was not the attack Kyne was expecting. She also has no idea what it even means. So. Um. Do you want me to leave, or...?


    Sounds fun! Unless you want me to make another psion character Sioda befriended during offscreen training. I could easily do that.

    If you want to, that'd be cool, but I'm fine either way.
    As "fine" I can be while considering putting honey mustard on my pizza for dinner tonight, that is.
    ---
    No, I want you to awkwardly attempt to comfort me.
    Carrie holds her tighter, sniffling.

    Sioda stretches.
    Cigars and brandy and Japanese Spider-Man time, then.
    ... That last one is Caledonia's fault.

    I think it would be a good way to intro a character who then goes on to be active in the wider Nexus, so yeah, I'll flesh out one of my ideas.

    Kyne awkwardly pats Carrie's head. And then, unsure if she was sufficiently awkward or comforting, just has to say: I love you Carrie. And I'll kill the next person who makes you cry.


    Cigars? Really? Angela doesn't even know anyone who smokes. Except Tobias and his badass pipe, of course.

    The bandaged man doesn't care much about the humming. He just stands there in place, before turning sharply and beginning to walk back.

    "I do appreciate you not shooting me. Just so you know."

    Civvy looks at him, one eyebrow raised.
    "Well. That would explain the bandages, then.

    I'm . . . sorry that I killed you?"
    She offers, having no other idea of what to say.

    Only very occasionally, and I always change and brush my teeth and all afterward---I didn't think you'd like to kiss something smelling strongly of antique stores.
    ---
    Carrie sniffles and looks up at her.
    I love you too.
    You kind of need to stop offering to murder people for me, but it's still kind of sweet.
