The Bachelorette: An Interactive Story--Goodbye for Now 18/8

[Blayzen]

I had decided to wait for the second part of the date before posting a reply with the thought that I could give a more well-rounded comment with a little more information...Yeah, ummm, that's not going to happen.

I could echo all of the comments that have gone before me about the setting for the date being AMAZING, (it is) and how perfectly it suits Marielle's personality, (it does) and how excited I am for the next update, (I am) but I still wouldn't be able to say everything that I really *need* to say.

As maddeningly frustrating as it must be for the Sponsers not to read the confession cams that do not belong to them; it is 100x worse for me not to be able to comment, in great detail, about what I have just read!

Let's just say that I am finding things that I like in Bachelors that I thought I never would and seeing things in others that make me love them even more than I did before. I am keeping this short & sweet so that I don't lose control and start telling you how cute and adorable I thought...Wait. Must stop typing before I tell you how hard I laughed reading...NO!  Clearly, I cannot be trusted and must slowly back away from the the computer with my hands in the air...

*sitting on my hands as I patiently wait for the next update*

If you're dying to tell someone about the confession cams, people have PMed Rosa about them, and you can probably also send one to the sponsors as long as it's only about the guy they made.

I'm sure all the sponsors (especially those who created Nathaniel, if you found his Cam interesting, hint hint) would be more than happy to hear your comments!

I was just randomly browsing the forum and I saw the First Date Part 2 I wonder what Marielle was thinking about Dominic in her confession cam? But, I guess it's only fair that I don't know.

Quite right. The other bachelor sponsors can commiserate with you about your shared lack of knowledge.

This comment made my heart swell. I love an enthusiastic commenter.

It need not be so frustrating for you. As previously mentioned, you may absolutely feel free to message me about any confessions that you desire, as may anyone else who feels so incline. Platnum does it all the time. Heck, you can message each other as well if you want. I would be very cautious about messaging the sponsors themselves as it would be easy to mix things up and accidentally reference a MarielleCam. I would request that you send them through me and I will forward them to the bachelor and include you so you can message each other back and forth about that. I'm just super cautious.

But seriously, message me. I'm dying to know the ends of all of those sentences.

Thank you for answering that. Agree. Read above.

That is such a funny picture. I wasn't sure if it fit but Rhoxi insisted it was too good not to use.
Hmmm, Kenshin is adorable, but it's not really a stutter. I hoped this would be clear. He is trying to resist the natural urge to call her 'Miss' Marielle. So he starts to say Miss and stops himself, because she asked him to call her just Marielle and he is trying to go along with her wishes.
Hahaha. He is trying desperately not to let you, too. Silly Nathaniel.

Oh that picture of Everette was devilishly perfect. I laughed so much that I cried. 
Ah I see. Now I remember that interaction between Marielle and Kenshin. Thanks for clearing that up for me lol. He still was uber adorable.

Maybe...
But, Nadia's probably to highstrung for him. As are her hemlines. (We're never gonna let that go, Everette! You'll regret that forever! Mark my words.)

Haha! This made me laugh so much, and I completely agree. Everette just put himself up there with Dominic in the "putting one's foot in mouth" category.

You are welcome.

Oh, surely not. I hardly think one remark is equal to that.

I lurk on this forum in Misc. Stories quite often, and I found this story. I have seen half of a season of The Bachelorette in real life, so I wanted to see how this one was. SO. MUCH. BETTER. I love this story, and I honestly don't know who my favorite is right now. I'm actually only on page 25, but I'm still avidly reading. 

[PlatnumDymnd]

Welcome to the party Jade. No worries on not having a favorite. All the bachelors are quite awesome. Happy to have ya!

Yay! Thank you! I am enjoying it more too

The first magic show

Welcome to the Magic Manor. I am Maelstrom the Magnificent. This evening I will dazzle and astound you with my powers of levitation, transfiguration, and conjuration.



Watch closely!



Nothing in my hands.



But now . . .



Presto!



A magic lamp! It will summon a genie!



But that is not all!





I can also raise myself towards the heavens!









But not only myself . . . for this, I shall need a volunteer.
Marielle: Ooh! Me! Me! Pick me!



Very well, young lady. Come here, to the centre of the room.
Now . . . by the powers of the ancients . . .



Everette Confession Cam

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Good lord! He's going to levitate a woman wearing a short skirt? How indecent! The entire audience is going to get a glimpse of her nickers! Not that I would look, mind you.

Rise!
Marielle: Whoa!



Marielle: I'm flying!



Marielle: Wow! This is cool, but kind of scary! Can I come down, please?



But of course.
Marielle: Thank you.



Marielle: Whew. That was a rush.



Marielle: Yay! So cool!



Marielle: Okay, everyone! On to the next show! Thank you, Mr Maelstrom!

Leopold Confession Cam

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I have to admit I expected more acts from the Magic Show.  Although the two we saw were fine, I didn’t think they were especially spectacular.  However, maybe I would think differently if I had tried the levitation act myself.  I must ask.  I’m sure if I acquired a magic lamp Gracie would bury it, but I do wonder what a genie can do.  But as the evening isn’t over yet, I don’t want to be too hasty to judge it.  I do wonder what Kenshin thinks of the levitation act?  If one could teleport from that simple incantation, it would save him a lot of time meditating.

Jump to Another Show and a Museum.

[PrincessMimi]

Wow Rosa, you are really popping these entries out. Did you create Maelstrom, or did one of the lovely other members of this story make him?
Another question: Am I allowed to vaguely reference what was said in the confession cam? Or is that a no-no?

[PeregrineTook]

I found it funny how all of the bachelors were watching Marielle rise except for Nathaniel who was focused on the magician. 
Mimi, don't reference confession cams!!  I made that mistake once and then felt very, very bad.  It compromises the integrity of the sponsors as they try to objectively play their bachelors' roles.

[Turoskel]

Everette's face looking at that magician was priceless, I've played magicians but I didn't know they could levitate other people or was that just for story purposes?

[PrincessMimi]

Mimi, don't reference confession cams!!

Thanks for clearing that up, glad I asked first .

[Jade]

I have changed my mind and am joining Team Nathaniel. He's just so sweet to Marielle!
