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

[Tiamet]

Rosa, I love that song you chose, and the line "Just like Jackie-O," really cracked me up in light of all the comments on Marielle's little hat!  Great update, as usual!

[Pyro0001]

Um...is it just me or does that bartender (in the 6th last pic) have a beard? Or is that just a feminine looking man?

Anyway, I loved the dancing. All the bachelor's were great dancers

[RainBeau]

Oh my gosh! You are so right. I read the scene first, read this comment, and then read the scene again with music and the scene just seemed to come alive. Love it! 
I love the song also. 

Excellent! That's what I was hoping for. We owe our thanks once again to Mr Rosa--the song was his suggestion.

Haha! Thank you

The bartender is Beatrice Bergerac from Vinyl's Circus Sims collection. She's the bearded lady

Oh my, I just realized I haven't commented in forever - just been reading and enjoying myself

You are updating so quickly it's a joy to follow this story Rosa

Well definitely tell him he has amazing taste.  I've been listening to it nonstop

Oh, that makes sense now . Thanks for telling me.

Rosa, you've been working long and hard on this story and its a really good one. You should be proud of yourself!     P.S, loved this chapter

Well, I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. I'm glad you feel I'm updating quickly--it's not nearly as quickly as I was planning, but then the summer turned out to be a little more involved than I expected!

Well definitely tell him he has amazing taste.  I've been listening to it nonstop

I told him It is good, isn't it?

Oh, that makes sense now . Thanks for telling me.

Yeah, you are welcome!

Rosa, you've been working long and hard on this story and its a really good one. You should be proud of yourself!     P.S, loved this chapter 

Awww, thank you! That is such a sweet thing to say. I appreciate it because I've been feeling crummy lately about not updating enough.

Anyone who's been to The Organ Grinder (and sharp-eyed viewers who saw it in the first instalment of this date) knows that there is a Love Tester in the arcade section. Obviously, the cast can't leave without trying it out.



Marielle: Talus? You want to try this?
Talus: Well, what is its purpose?
Marielle: It supposedly tells us how compatible we are. It's silly, but fun. Come on!



Marielle: We both grab the handle, like this . . .



Love Inspector: Wild! ZOW! It Is Good That Love Inspector Is Plugged Into A Surge Protector--Because You Two Are Pure Electricity!
Talus: I see.



Dominic: I'd be glad to give it a try.



Dominic: Come on, baby, light my fire!



Love Inspector: Passionate--When The Sun Sets On This Great Earth And We Are No More--Your Love Will Still Go On--Its Energy Burning Across The Galaxy.
Dominic: Ohhh yeeeaaaahhh!



Dominic: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?



Nathaniel (singing): Movin' on up!



Marielle: Is 5 simoleons too much, do you think?





Love Inspector: Burning--Whoa--Get A Room You Two!



Nathaniel: Oh, look at me--I'm floating again.

Did you see that? I am on fire! To tell you the truth, it was difficult to keep from shooting up through the ceiling after we got our results. Now Marielle will truly see how perfect we are for each other!

Kenshin has been entertaining himself patiently while waiting for his turn. He has quite the knack for Smack-a-Gnome.



Marielle: Get on over here, Kenshin.
Kenshin: As you wish.



Love Inspector: Uncontrollable--Love Inspector Never Truly Understood What Love Was Until This Very Moment--How Can Love Inspector Ever Thank The Two Of You?



Marielle: Well, how about that?
Kenshin (blushing): Heh heh . . .



Dimitri: My turn now?



Love Inspector: Uncontrollable--Such Raw Energy--You Remind Love Inspector Of A Beautiful, Uninhibited Night That Love Inspector Spent With Claw Machine!



Dimitri Confession Cam

Dimitri: This date just keeps getting better and better! 'Uncontrollable?' 'Raw energy?' Man, that love tester thing is creepy accurate! That just has to be a reference to my awesome compatible plasma from the other night. I suppose in this case I would be the love tester and Marielle ... the claw machine? (chuckles)

Dimitri: Whoa!
Marielle: Wow!
Dimitri: Join me upstairs?
Marielle: Sure!

On the Love Tester, I didn't expect such a high score.  I adore Marielle now, but we had a little...er...tension when we first met. So I'm happy that we have some romantic relationship. Mostly flirting, but we'll save the other stuff for later dates. (mischievous cackle)



OK, what I'm worried about now is the other guys' scores. I have no idea what they got! I did hear a lot of screaming from Marielle and Dimitri and someone mentioned 'upstairs'. Yikes.

What are they going to do upstairs? Let's follow them and see!

[hazelnut]

The Love Tester is hilarious.  Does it ever give a comment suggesting anything other than compatibilty?

[Swirl-Girl]

It sure does! I've got some pretty funny ones screencapped. Take a look:




Great update by the way!

[chetanhaobijam]

Great update. Good to see the love tester machine and its words. Wow, Nathaniel begin to fly from the romance words from the love inspector. Can't wait to see what happens next.

[Shewolf13]

lol!  Love the Love Tester.  Too cute!  Love that they were all compatible ^^

[PeregrineTook]

Wow, the love tester and the claw machine, huh?
Nice update.  It was fun seeing the bachelors have that mix of confidence and apprehension in approaching the love tester.  It would have been interesting if any of them had been stuck with a negative read.  Guess they all lucked out.

[Blayzen]

It's been a little while since I commented but I'm still reading and loving every second of it! I really enjoyed the dancing and the Love Tester! I have to agree that it would have been interesting for at least one of them to have a negative reading but I just don't think that's possible with these guys. Every single Bachelor has a unique relationship with Marielle; I can actually see her choosing each one of them. She does such a great job of making them all feel involved and part of her world...no one gets left out. I really love that about her and this version of The Bachelorette, no negativity. It's such an enjoyable read because anything can happen! At this point, it's anyone's game...

Looking forward to more!
