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

[RainBeau]

Oh my. That update was pure gold. I could not stop laughing. Now I'm not entirely promoting violence, but I wouldn't mind seeing Talus enact his threat to Dominic. That would really make me laugh. Is that bad of me? 

Why, thank you! I've read it so many times I forgot it was ever funny. Thanks for the reminder. I don't know quite how to answer that last question, so I'll just leave it.

Oh, those banners are great! I think I prefer the second one, but I love them both. Too bad I don't have any room in my signature, either! 

Yeah, unfortunate. Ah well, that's what we get for having so many stories. I wonder now if anyone actually clicks the links in my signature. Am I wasting space? Those of you reading, did any of you find this story by clicking on my Bachelorette banner?

Well, speaking as the person who made Talus up, you probably don't want to see that. It's . . . not coming from a good place. It's actually kinda not fun at all.

Oooh yeah, I can see that.

Oh my. Well I'll definitely keep that in mind. I guess sweet and quiet Talus can have a dark side as well.

*chuckles darkly* Oh, you have no idea.

I didn't "find" it per se, but I do click it if I need to get back to it super quick and you've left a comment on the page I'm currently on.

[Swirl-Girl]

I didn't do it for this story, but on other forums if there's a story I haven't gotten around to reading, I would click on someone's signature to find it.

[Shewolf13]

I found it in a plug in one of your other stories.  But I do utilize signatures to check out stories.

[Audren]

Well, I found The Bachelorette after you messaged me that you had started it, so I suppose my experience doesn't really count, does it? 

[Blayzen]

Is there a Tenshin banner yet? There ought to be. I think I'll be team Tenshin.

Welcome to the team, Squirt! 

Edit: Since mine is not strictly a banner, I would whole-heartedly get behind Squirt's banner. You are far more talented than I. As is Rosa...the brilliant mind orchestrating the story I somehow managed to forget to comment on. Duh.

You guys are all doing such a fabulous job with the bachelors; I do a *happy dance* every time I see a new update.  (Btw, I have found all of your stories through your signature links - Thank you, Convenience!)

Well, I suppose it's useful then. lol

Okay.

Muahahah, my sinister plan to make all my readers read all my stories is working!

Well, I found The Bachelorette after you messaged me that you had started it, so I suppose my experience doesn't really count, does it? 

Yeah, it doesn't, hahaha.

Welcome to the team, Squirt! 

Wow I really embellished your banner in my mind. It really is just two with a caption. 

[ILoveDolls]

Rosa, I realized you had stories through your banner. It works

While Leopold is painting, he is politely interrupted by an unfamiliar woman in a very pink dress.

Platinum Diamond: Leopold honey, I'm Platinum, the stylist for the show, and I need to spend some time on you today.



Leopold: Ah, so that's what the note meant.
Platinum: That's right. Marielle is cooking up something special for the two of you and I'm here to get you all decked out for it.
Leopold: Wonderful.



Platinum: Just come with me into the bunk room then and I'll get you set up.





Leopold: I'm pretty new to this styling thing, so how do you want to work this?



Nathaniel: Did someone say Stylin'?
Platinum: Run along, honey. It's not your turn to play dress up.

Platinum and I are total BFF's, so I was definitely not spying on Leopold's preparation for the date. Nuh-uh. No way. Seriously, though, how is it not my turn to play dress-up! I look good in everything!

Platinum: Marielle has some ideas in mind and I'm just going to show you and you can choose what you like best.



Platinum: I'm picturing something really well cut and tailored. You have a perfect frame for what I have in mind.



Leopold: Um, all right, well that sounds good--



Platinum: You have a good hairstyle for this already, so we'll leave your hair alone. But we need to get you a new suit.



Platinum: Here are some different styles to choose from.
Leopold: Oh, how wonderfully classy! Let's see--yes--yes--oh, I like this one.
Platinum: Let me go get it and we can pin you up so I can make any alterations.



Platinum: Well, what do you know? Fits like a glove!
Leopold: This is an excellent suit.



Leopold: Thank you so much for helping me in this matter.
Platinum: No problem, baby, that's what I'm here for!

I have to acknowledge that I was unsure of how selecting my outfit for tonight was to be achieved.  But Platinum put me right at ease and thankfully, there were no awkward moments with the tape measure and misplaced pins.  There is such a wonderful team of people working on this show and in this house.  I feel so pleased to be a part of the experience.  I wonder if Platinum has a favourite meal too.  I think I'll ask Marielle tonight on the appropriate way to express my thanks.

Only a little bit before the date begins! See the last few moments!

[PeregrineTook]

I was somewhat hoping to see him go through lots of bad looks that didn't really work for him, but I don't really think that's how Platinum does things (audible sigh)

[Shewolf13]

Hehehe, I love Platinum.  She's loads of fun.  And Leo looks wonderful in that suit!

[Gwendy]

"Did somebody say Stylin'?"

I just love Nathaniel. He's like the EPITOME of ham. 

[Swirl-Girl]

Oh, Nathaniel.

[ILoveDolls]

It's all about Nathaniel, isn't it? Sorry Nate old boy. Hopefully Platinum will be on vacation when it's your turn and Tragic Clown takes her place! (Runs away and sarcastically yells JUST KIDDING!!)

I kind of think Platinum just may be Leo's consolation prize if things don't work out between he and Marielle

[Snufflesxx]

Absolutely fabulous, Leo! He really does look like a fine English gentleman
