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

"But-but that's precisely why you should get married!" The priest's disdainful expression implied that this should have been obvious. "Now that you've professed your love for one another, the forces of the thread will unite in an attempt to rip you apart! So you must marry now, before it is too late. Now, I'll begin the ceremony." He flipped open his book and cleared his throat. "Hm, how formal do you wish the ceremony to be?"

Just now, Ookla the Irreplaceable said:

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?

Tam's accusing gaze bored into Cricket's skull. Then her head fell back down, eyes going glassy and lifeless.

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.

Moni motioned for Perseus to stay back. "I suppose I'll soon join them, won't I?" She raised the dagger of Endings and her shield in a defensive posture.

"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!"

Shoe sighed, exasperated and just very emotional drained.

Cricket? What's happening? Are you okay?!

What? he broke away from the hug. No! We are not getting married!

Just now, Ookla the Inconclusive said:

Shoe sighed, exasperated and just very emotional drained.

"Young man, you should know that when you are emotionally drained it is the perfect time to get married. They tend to overfill one with emotions, you see, so when you are drained to begin, they spill out less."

Cricket staggered back, and turned, running to the other corpses.

Atreides cleaved straight through her shield with his blade. "Any more tricks up your sleeve?" he asked, a blademaster with thousands of years of experience.

Tam. Oh, thank the Light! You're alive!

Of course I am! She checked her pulse just to be sure. What's happening? Are you okay?

Omen... Omen put me in some sort of vision. Hunters attacked me and I killed them, but... but one of them was you. Listen, Tam, don't trust him. I'll find a way to the Dreamsmith, I swear, whether I have to kill him to do it.

“Stop pressuring him,” Beosta snapped. “Do you want me to—“ She cut off. Great. She didn’t have her crossblade. 

Oh, and she was wearing a dress. That was annoying.

“Yeah, we’re not. Go away.”

He noticed her noticing she was wearing different clothes.

Yeah . . . I should probably . . . explain that.

We should go somewhere else anyway.

Yeah, what happened?  —Hang on.

She called Lady Bug, who seemed somewhat annoyed, but sent the four of them back to the beach.

Um . . . how much do you remember after we went to see your father?

He stabbed me or something. She sat down on the sand, kind of wishing he’d hug her again. Scudding wedding marrier person. And then I was on some stone plateau, walking towards the sun. I don’t remember anything.

29 minutes ago, Ookla the Inconclusive said:

We are not getting married, he insisted, glaring at the priest-person.

"But you must!" The priest was unsettled now. "The protection that I can give following a profession of love is fleeting, no matter how heartfelt. If you are married, that protection will last indefinitely, saving you from the worst of the Thread's horrors."

The priest glared at them. "Fine! If you are adamant, then leave. But don't say I didn't warn you." He turned his back and walked away pointedly.

She shook her head and didn't answer.

In front of Tam, Omen had stilled. The mist that made up his form was entirely motionless. "What." He asked with a voice like thunder. "Have you DONE?!" Dark mist began to rise up from the floor. "You interfere in my trial? You cheat?" Omen's form distorted wildly, swelling in size until he towered over Tam. "You insult me and everything I stand for Narrator. You should have known better than to interfere in this matter! I told you that he must face his trial alone!"

25 minutes ago, Ookla the Irreplaceable said:

Cricket sighed, looking up. "Omen!" he shouted. "This is a lie. I've played your little game and won it. Bring me to the Dreamsmith!"

Omen's voice again rumbled from all sides. "You have won nothing. You have failed this trial. You were too wrapped up in battle to see that who you thought was an enemy was actually a friend, and slew her! If you had learned from this I might have allowed you to pass anyways, but Tam then allowed you to cheat by communicating with her, thereby destroying any lesson you might have learned!" The forest around Cricket shook with the force of Omen's anger. "I will learn from this mistake. I will not allow connections to the outside world next time. For now, you have failed. I will not allow you to see the Dreamsmith."

46 minutes ago, Ookla the Irreplaceable said:

Atreides cleaved straight through her shield with his blade. "Any more tricks up your sleeve?" he asked, a blademaster with thousands of years of experience.

Moni cursed, dropping the useless shield and holding Endings with both hands. "One, perhaps." She charged towards Atreides, swinging the dagger towards his sword arm.

Lady Bug was curious. “What does that mean? What horrors? What protection?”

The priest shook his head, and tapped his book. "The horrors of further drama, the dangers of tragedy and death that are common to all romantic relationships. With this Plotblade, I could spare them from the worst of it if only they would agree to be married."

The priest stared at her in confusion. "Why would they do that? They have professed their love for one another. At this point, their relationship will either end in utter tragedy or," He raised his book. "They will get their Happily Ever After."

He nodded. So, um . . . you remember how Gaioh's soul was a little golden ball of light? Well . . . when you got stabbed . . . he choked up slightly.

When you got stabbed, the same thing happened to you. Your soul turned into this tiny ball of light that started circling Livetha, and your body . . . he took your body.

She sighed. Best not to anger him further. "You never said anything about communication, alright? I'm sorry, I didn't know."
