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

[RainBeau]

The Bachelorette returns from its short hiatus!


After the show has ended, Marielle and the bachelors explore the rest of the circus. But first, leaving the arena, Kenshin has the dubious pleasure of meeting some of the circus' more . . . interesting patrons.

Kenshin (thinking): I cannot imagine what would possess a person to walk about in his swimwear. How indecent. And this other fellow appears to be in his sleepwear. Perhaps this is a Starlight Shores custom.



America Hekya: Well hey there, cutie.
Kenshin: Mmblrrgh.





Marielle: Wow! Malika Mysteria!



Marielle: It is such an absolute pleasure to meet you in person! I'm a great admirer! I've never even heard of another magician who does what you do! A different show every time! And all the audience participation! It's just wonderful! You're wonderful! I'm simply speechless!
Malika Mysteria (chuckling): Clearly.
Marielle: Oh! I haven't introduced myself. I'm Marielle. Marielle Neige.
Malika Mysteria: The bachelorette. Yes, I know. I'm very pleased to meet you as well.
Marielle: Oh, yes! Yes, thank you!



Kenshin: Excuse me, my good . . . gentleman, I would like to purchase some refreshments for myself and my friends.



Mitch Lee: Sure. What would you like?
Kenshin: Ummm . . . what do you have?

This is why Kenshin is such a friend. Not only will he spend his time with me, he will not let me starve. I do hope the good luck I cast over him is serving him well.

Dimitri: Oh, well done, Kenshin! Pancakes, my favourite!



Kenshin: How do you like your cobbler?
Marielle: It's delicious, thank you. I'm impressed you managed to find something with Plasma Fruit for me.
Kenshin: Oh, of course. It would be inconsiderate not to find you something suitable.



Marielle: Oh, I'm sure I could have found someone suitable if necessary. I bet you taste even better than this cobbler. You're so sweet.
Kenshin: Ahem! Um, yes!



Dimitri: (starts coughing)
Talus: Are you well?
Dimitri: Oh, yeah, fine.



Talus: Perhaps if you ate more slowly you would not suffer these respiratory difficulties.
Dimitri (under his breath, mouth full): I don't think that's the problem, somehow.

This group date is awesome! The performances are so amazing and magical it almost makes me want to join the circus! Almost. Wouldn't my parents get a good laugh out of that?



Anyway, the shows were amazing, the food was awesome, (yes, I ordered pancakes. The quality of the venue can be judged on the quality of their pancakes.) and Marielle, well, that girl's got a sense of humour.



When she made that comment about someone tasting better than cobbler, I almost choked on my food. (laughing) The look on Kenshin's face was priceless! That guy has got to lighten up, we're here to fall in love with a vampire, man. I wonder if he did any research on vampires before coming here.



(sits back relaxed) Marielle can have more of my 'mouthwatering' plasma any time she pleases.

Dominic (smirking, slightly sarcastic): Well, this is a romantic table.
Nathaniel (grumbling): Man, I thought I'd be on a date with Marielle, not with you. (makes a disgusted noise)
Dominic: You're not the only one, fairy-boy. This is one of the reasons I was not excited about a group date.
Nathaniel: Oh well. At least we get to spend time with her.

Okay, enough silliness.  Marielle's interaction with Kenshin was delightful!  So awkwardly cute.  He's no Everette, but Kenshin is pretty cool.  I like how Marielle manages to make the bachelors feel more relaxed and afraid all at the same time.

[Swirl-Girl]

Great update. Marielle is wonderful, and I can see where Pippin is coming from!

[Audren]

I myself loved that exchange between Dom and Nathaniel the first time I read it, and I still love it now. Brilliant move there, Rosa. Not that the Kenshin choke doesn't have its own layer of charm, but I figured I'd draw attention to someone else's character first.

[Shewolf13]

That was just too cute!  Lovely job as always.  Hehehe, loved Dominic and Nathaniel sharing a table.

Bahahaha
She really does. She's trying to be comforting, hahaha, I think she just doesn't realise how very unnerving it can be to remind someone you could eat them at any time.

She is, isn't she? I'm very proud of her.

Brilliant move? Am I reading too much into your choice of words, or are you implying ulterior motive?  I'm probably just paranoid. Hahaha

Thank you.

No motive implied, unless you'd consider getting a laugh out of me a motive, in which case, yes.

Great. Now I ship them. I'm naming this pairing 'Pancakes'.

[Audren]

Is it a bad sign when we start shipping the bachelors with each other instead of with Marielle? 

[RainBeau]

Hahaha all right then.

Why are you calling them Pancakes?

I hope not, because if I recall correctly, so far we've had Tenshin, Pancakes (?) ummm, okay I don't recall correctly, what else is there?

[Dextra2]

Why are you calling them Pancakes?

I thought they were eating pancakes. 'Sides, it's a better name then 'Groupie'.

Unless you have a better idea. Then I'm open to that.

[RainBeau]

Not everyone is eating pancakes. Only Dimitri. If I recall correctly, Dominic is having dessert pizza and Nathaniel is having a cheese Danish.

Then it's Dessert. Because they are as sweet as sugar.

I call the Nathaniel/Everette/Leopold triangle "Some Meg Ryan Movie."

(Also, happy 46,000 views!)

All right then. I have a low metaphorical sugar tolerance, but we'll go with that.

Ppppbbbbbhhhhtt.

Thanks for always noticing stuff like that, Gwendy! How exciting! Thank you to all my readers for making it happen!
