In reply to Meara (msg # 507):



Relevant section posted because if Meara gets it, you may want to get it, so you can have her react as you think is appropriate.

Absolutely updating my post!

She doesn't. I think Meara would understand that too. Val is deeply mourning John. Meara knows her well enough to know  that she wouldn't take anyone else to her bed. Meaning...

OMG FP.

I mean, I could see how you would draw that conclusion, but that's not it either.

Clearly, my brain isn't following the intended trail.

In reply to Meara (msg # 513):

Which, Gwydion's joke or the one in the in-game scene?

The in-game scene.  I got Gwydion's joke instantly.

Also I made another small edit to Meara's thoughts so she got interrupted before she could figure it out.

Oh, okay. So I feel like Meara knows Auntie Val pretty well and she'd be the one who could triangulate the clues. Basically, Mordwynn is implying without actually saying it that the reason that Val didn't show up to lunch is that she's with JA like right at this very moment. Plus, Val's vision is totally improving thanks to Euryleia's nano-treatment helping to repair her burned retinas.

MerLN, probably, knows what's happening because he's got access to Avaluna's sensors, but he's been through enough faux pas to know not to go spreading around. Also the fact that <<REDACTED>>. Euryleia would know this if Eppy hadn't blocked Euryleia's alert from the sensors in the Royal quarters, because they wanted to respect privacy.

She'll probably figure it out in the middle of someone else saying something serious or important.  As is her way.

And then she'll just smile.

I can just imagine it now.  John somehow shows up in nearly a full body cast and a pair of crutches and Val just tackles him onto the bed.

When we get to see him, he'll have added an IV, a heart monitor, and even more pain meds, but also a huge, silly smile.

Camera cuts to Berty Rabbit and JA both hooked up to IVs in a shared hospital room. They try to fist bump, but are too exhausted.

Crossing time, space, and dimensions to fistbump is tiring!

Does anyone have anything specific that they want to accomplish in the scene or should I start winding it down?

Hm. Establishing super polycule action with Future Brun smooches because he forgot that hasn't happened yet. *nodnod*

I've done all I can think of.  Meara's mostly there to support Irina and Iliza now.

Brun and Euryleia are good methinks.

Brun already knows everything, for now, and Euryleia had accepted inevitability.

"Where's Ember-Rend?!"
"Not important, there's weddings to preside over!"
"Ooooh, weddings~"
Then John's dragged back into the bedroom by Val again for round five.

I knew a Triple Wedding would be enough to bring him back.

Physics yields before John Arthur's ability to officiate a wedding.

Herald Godwin: But, there's no one who can officiate a triple wedding!?  It can't be done....

JA, tearing through time and space: CAN!

JA pushes himself through the tear with fanfare as his theme plays and pyrotechnics go off.  The crowd screams and waves signed tangentially related to the situation at hand.

Herald Godwin takes another two stress pills.

I figured neither Irina nor Iliza were present since they weren't listed as summoned, but if it isn't a faux pax to do so, Meara would bring Irina along.  Gwydion never let go of Iliza, so she didn't exactly have a chance to extricate herself from his hand before finding herself as a +1 at a royal summons (wasn't the first time and likely won't be the last, either).

Also, I hope JA's hair and beard look like someone tried to hastily salvage them after a freak grilling accident.  Also his eyebrows.  Because dude was extracted from magical sci-fi space dragon fire.

EDIT: Also it's safe to assume that Meara was successfully yoinked into the hug with a, "Bwuh~?!"

In reply to Meara (msg # 528):

Since Gwydion brought Iliza, you can bring Irina, but, yes, it was only supposed to be the core four that were summoned. Gwydion is as bad a protocol as JA, but who could blame him?

As funny as it would be to me if only Gwydion broke protocols, Meara would definitely bring Irina for this as she's just as involved as everyone else at this point.  I'll edit my post to include her - it won't change Gwydion's.

Sounds good!

Hecc, Gwydion pulled Irina in early on to help Rose design the very technology that did all this. She can't be left out!
