It felt like getting struck by lightning. It felt like... like... 

Well, it felt like what it was. It felt like her favorite person she'd ever met had said she was his favorite too-- which he hadn't strictly said, but it was close, right?

"I really do love you. I really do." It was so scary to say, but the words tasted so amazing it was absolutely worth it. "You're my most favorite person. Thank you." 

The book-holder cleared his throat rather aggressively. "I suppose you are busy at the moment. By all means, ignore me."

He hugged her even tighter and squeezed his eyes shut. I'm so sorry . . . Beosta, I'm so, so sorry- I couldn't protect you, I couldn't help you, I just . . .

"Go away," Beosta said, her voice muffled by Shoe's shoulder. "We're having a nice happy emotional moment."

Shoe whole-heatedly agreed, though he didn't say anything.

The book-holder harrumphed loudly. "I have been sent here to perform a marriage ceremony, and I am not one to abandon such a duty. So if you would be so kind as to point me in the direction of the two people who have professed love for one another, I will happily be on my way to fulfill my responsibilities."

The Scribe... no. You did not miss anything.

HEY! Stop messing with my stuff! Pwetty pwease?

Asher looked up. “hvat? sendi odin hetta ella okkurt. nei, hann vildi ikki brúkt so ringa mállæru.” then they snapped out of it. Like getting smacked in the face. They stumbled backwards then looked to dint and pyk. Assessing dint condition. To see how bad he was injured or what not.

Um- hold up. He'd better not be talking about us . . . he said to Beosta.

No offense or anything!

The book-holder straightened his long robes perfunctorily. "I am Galbus, a priest and professional ship finalizer. I have successfully brought thirteen ships to dock-so to speak-personally, and have assisted in the docking of dozens more."

Just now, Ookla the Inconclusive said:

The priest's head swiveled towards Shoe. "What was that? Did I hear you thinking something?"

[He's not injured. But the stuff capable of destroying the Adari, that is released into the body when one dies. So... your fire had trace amounts of that. Trace amounts, though, can be significant.]

A note floats down to him, and far away, the Scribe giggles.

The last figure Cricket had stabbed, the one who'd saved him-perhaps inadvertently-from a knife in the back, coughed, shifting slightly.

Moni ducked the spear of light, reaching into her pack and pulling out a shield. "Not even worth using your sword on am I? Maybe you think that just because I don't kill people, I'll let you kill me?"

"I... suppose I did keep the Plotblades from notice. But if I had told a few others, like my old student the Valiant One, then I could have prevented all the suffering that has since taken place. Adventurers are dead because of me and my actions."

Cricket eyed him, confused. "Who are you?" he asked.

Atreides smiled, dropping his spear of light and unsheathing his blade. All of it was as black as darkness, but the carvings along the blade changed, depicting tortured human faces. "As you wish, Avatar."

No, Shoe. No. You didn't know he'd do that. I didn't know he'd do that. You scudding brought me back. You've done everything.

HEY WADDABOUT BAT?

*sniff*

you should cut Sain.

The Scribe agrees with this previous, non-canon statement.

Hacob subtly pointed at Shoe and Beotsa, mouthing, "It's them (probably)."

"But the adventurers who died would not be dead. Perhaps others would have died, perhaps they would have died. but that doesn't mean that I am not responsible for those deaths."

"I suspect we will have to disagree on that. I do not view the world the same way you do."

Bat frowned, then carefully stuck the blade about an inch into Sain. "Just testing," he said, and a flock of birds flew out of the ground.

Asher gasps and quickly walks to them muttering. “No no no no no. Not again. Dang it.” They get to dint. “Im so sorry, i,” why do i mess up so much?! Why! “im so so so so sorry.” Holy Loki im such a bad person. Why am i so horrible? see silver. They end up hating themselves. “Are you gonna be ok. Please dont die. Please dont die”

. . . No.

No we are not, Shoe agreed.

She didn't stop hugging him, though. She liked him too much.

Hacob thought that they were still in denial.

Lady Bug thought he didn't understand why dating was a thing.

Just now, oOklA thE shInyYyy said:

Hacob had never dated anyone, but this was TLT. Love at first sight was a thing here. And also, they'd pretty much been dating this entire time.

Just now, Ookla the Arbiter said:

Lady Bug didn't think they'd been dating. She thought they'd had a healthy friendship with an excessive amount of hugs and kissing.

Just now, Ookla the Dragonslayer said:

A note floats down to him, and far away, the Scribe giggles.

The priest grabs the note and reads it in a flash, then tosses it into his pocket.

No, Shoe. No. You didn't know he'd do that. I didn't know he'd do that. You scudding brought me back. You've done everything. 

Beosta lifted her head. "What?" 

"No, no no no no. None taken."

"Uh, good for you. We-- we are not getting married."

"Not getting MARRIED?!" The priest looked between Shoe and Beosta with an utterly aghast expression on his face. "Why? Do you relish in further tragedy and pain?"

4 minutes ago, Ookla the Inconclusive said:

. . . No.

"I knew I heard you thinking something!" The priest glared at Shoe. "How dare you hug this young woman while not even intending to marry her! Disgraceful! Most disgraceful in-deed!"

4 minutes ago, Ookla the Arbiter said:

Hacob subtly pointed at Shoe and Beotsa, mouthing, "It's them (probably)."

The priest nodded sharply. "Yes, it is quite obviously them, I believe."

6 minutes ago, Ookla the Irreplaceable said:

Cricket eyed him, confused. "Who are you?" he asked.

The figure coughed up blood, picking their head up off the ground just enough for the hood of the cloak to fall, revealing Tam's face.

7 minutes ago, Ookla the Irreplaceable said:

Atreides smiled, dropping his spear of light and unsheathing his blade. All of it was as black as darkness, but the carvings along the blade changed, depicting tortured human faces. "As you wish, Avatar."

In turn, Moni drew Endings. "Come on then. Show me why your Blade is so feared."

Faunus definitely agreed with Hacob, which was impossible within itself. There is no such thing as a healthy friendship, with kissing. Call her old fashioned.

Beosta blushed. “No! Not disgraceful! We’re not getting married because we just barely… uh… admitted feelings or whatever that scud is called.”

No. No. Storms, no. It could not be. Tam had seemed fine when he had last spoke to her, but, who knew what Omen could do? Tam. he thought, urgently. Tam! Are you there?

@Ookla the Inconclusive

Atreides smiled, only showing his blade. The whispers hit Moni in an instant, voices of fear, death, despair. "Save us!" they pleaded. "Save us!" Atreides looked at her. "Do you hear them? Pitiable wretches." Behind him, Perseus got to his feet.
