==> VC: don shadesYou have RECENTLY SUFFERED A GRIEVOUS INJURY. Luckily, however, it wasn't really GRIEVOUS so much as just an INCONVENIENCE. However, it seems like a blood vessel has ruptured in your eye giving it a BLOOD-RED APPEARANCE, which is certainly NOT SOMETHING YOU'D LIKE TO SHOVE IN PEOPLES' FACES. You have recently arrived home and applied medication to the wound--this being, after all, an isolated house on a dangerous island, you're used to this sort of thing. Luckily, you have a pair of SHADES around that will obscure your new UNFORTUNATELY INTIMIDATING EYE. You put them on. ==> VC: be the coolkidThis is not your speed AT ALL. You pop out one of the lenses, since there's really no reason to cover up your other eye. Whew! That's taken care of. [/center] |

==> VC: be admired
You kinda jump a little when you feel a presence behind you. You YOUTH TWIRL AROUND to see it's Cory, so you relax and laugh. You greet her with a BIG HUG, because that is HOW YOU GREET EVERYONE.
Then you remember that you're supposed to be doing the DATEY THING so you give her a kiss too. You let go and smile. You seem to have lost ALL TRACE of your earlier CONSTERNATION. [/center] VENN: haha no worr!es
VENN: ! keep forgett!ng you're ALL-KNOW!NG AND STUFF
VENN: so ! guess you saw all that
VENN: and knew !t would happen

==> VC: juggle pins
While that is NORMALLY AT THE TOP OF YOUR LIST OF THINGS TO DO, right now things are REFRESHINGLY STRAIGHTFORWARD. Cory is here, so you will do things with Cory. [/center] VENN: pfft don't worry about !t

==> Cory: Date
One breath you're breathing the humid forest air of Venn's island, the next you're breathing the hot savannah air of Africa. You've moved the both of you to a cliff overlooking the ocean. The air is so clear you can see for miles and miles around.
You are standing on a blanket checkered in green and white. There is a similarly green picnic basket close by. Its contents are not green. [/center] i, uh, really like, africa
there's always, more to see?

==> VC: teleport with dignity and aplomb
you do.
honestly it's been established that cory could take jesus christ on a walk along the beach and fill him in on the missing details of the universe. you kind of expect that she might be able to do all sorts of fantastic things.
though if you were entirely honest you do jump a little IN SURPRISE. The astonished expression on your face, however, is rapidly replaced with BOUNDLESS EXCITEMENT. [/center] VENN: man !t sure !s easy to forget
VENN: about the whole 'all-powerful and all-know!ng' th!ng
VENN: ! mean GOSH th!s !s just the COOLEST
VENN: afr!ca, just l!ke that!
VENN: ! mean, snap
VENN: you sure know how to show a guy a t!me, cory
VENN: ! am one short step away from gett!ng my SWOON ON

==> Cory: Get your swag on
You reach down into the basket and come up with two wine glasses. You hold them in one hand and, with a slight shower of green sparks purely for show, they slowly fill with red wine. It's your favorite bottle, held in stasis ever since you got it as a present when you were staying in Rome. You wish things could have ended differently between you and Gaius Julius.
You try to clear your head of past regrets and focus on the present day. There aren't many left, after all. [/center] You take a sip, and then sit down on the blanket, facing the ocean. You move the bottle from its cellar in your vineyard in Italy to the basket. Maybe it's time you finished it. [/center] |

==> VC: be impressed by swag
Hrm. Well. It's nice and all, but it's really unsurprising. Cory is, again, all powerful and such.
But it is very flattering that she'd go out of the way to get all this for you. Makes you feel pretty special. You examine the wine with some curiosity then TAKE A DRINK. It's pretty good. Perhaps NOT TO YOUR TASTES but then again you are actually a kid who's never drank anything before.
You sit down next to Cory and wrap an arm around her shoulder. It isn't casual. Why should it be? It's pretty obvious exactly how you feel.
You feel like she's pretty great. The view's really nice. [/center] VENN: haha thanks!
VENN: man th!s sure !s QU!TE THE PLACE HUH
VENN: you really are amaz!ng cory!
VENN: well ! mean that on l!ke
VENN: several levels
VENN: for one you're an amaz!ng person because you're so n!ce and you care about other people so much
VENN: but also because of the mag!c stuff too!
VENN: what ! mean to say !s
VENN: you're pretty great!
You GESTURE WILDLY with your wine glass to make your point. You laugh when a little splashes out and hits you on the face. You turn to Cory and grin lazily, droplets of wine trickling down your cheek.
This is pretty much what you consider to be a perfect day. |

==> Cory: Be bad at swag
Way ahead of you, arrow.
You cuddle up close to your boyfriend, enjoying the feeling of being in his arms. When he spills wine on his face, you laugh, just a little bit, and then reach up and lick the errant droplets off his cheek, stealing a quick kiss on your way back. Today is a good day. You rest a hand on his leg, drink, and sigh, allowing yourself to relax. The pent-up tension of thinking in just four dimensions dissolves, and you blur out of reality for just a second, becoming a flickering silhouette of static and sunlight. And then you're solid again. [/center] you, uh, too, venn
there, um, are, very few men, like you
i, ah, checked

==> VC: be the dork
you have always been the dork.
in some ways.
IT IS YOUR DESTINY.
Cory kisses you. You like that a bunch, you think. It's certainly one of the more enjoyable sensations you've ever experienced. You're starting to think of romance as a kind of super-friendship, which is making it considerably easy to understand in your mind. Cory flickers in and out of reality for a bit.
You don't mind. [/center] VENN: haha well ! guess you could check!
VENN: wow that's actually pretty cool
VENN: when ! real!ze the fullness of what you mean when you say that you checked
VENN: man you're great =B
VENN: haha ! bet ! must seem a l!ttle s!lly to you
VENN: say!ng stuff that's all been rehearsed !n t!me
VENN: ! don't th!nk !'d be able to do !t
VENN: to be l!ke you, ! mean
VENN: gall!vant!ng out w!th a mortal guy
VENN: or mult!ple mortal guys, ! guess
VENN: and mortal lad!es
VENN: mortal !n general !s what !'m say!ng here
VENN: you're pretty amaz!ng cory

==> Cory: Gallivant
Your glass is already empty. You eliminate the middle man and simply refill directly from the bottle. [/center] it's, uh, hard, sometimes
being, ah, like this
and, um
lonely
but then, uh, i meet people
ah, exceptional, wonderful, um, people
and, uh, they make, ah, feel, not so lonely?
and, um, i just, love you all, too much, to, uh
choose, just one?
i, ah, don't think, i could do that, to the others
or, um, to myself, i guess

==> VC: be jealous
Quit being ridiculous, arrow.
That word's barely even in your vocabulary.
Literally. That word has almost no use for you. You've never really used it. Never even occurred to you. [/center] VENN: !'m glad you f!nd people
VENN: !'m glad they're there for you
VENN: and ! prom!se you cory
VENN: !'ll always be there for you
VENN: unt!l the end of t!me
VENN: and then for a wh!le afterwards, too! =)

You put your glass down (whoops it's empty again). Then you hug him. Hard. Or do you cling to him? [/center] |

You laugh when Cory hugs you. You smile. You wrap your arms around her and kiss her quickly on the forehead. [/center] VENN: good
VENN: then there's no r!sk of confus!on
VENN: ! know someone l!ke you doesn't exactly need protect!on
VENN: qu!te the oppos!te, actually!
VENN: but !'ll always be here
