Come hiiiiither, Heroes! Prove thy parenting skills!!

[ As usual there’s a tremor and then silence -- and then, as may be familiar to a few of you there appears a glittering void, points of light twinkling in the air. As you step into the space it expands, seeming to consume you, the Aurora, and all that exists in general. There’s a feeling of vertigo as this happens, frozen lights swirling all about you and once again it's all accompanied by obnoxious giggling.

When the darkness fades, you find yourself in an empty, featureless room with three doors, and on a pedestal in front of you: matching keys for each door. ]

What a good girl.

[ HE'S SO PROUD? ]

Re: ENDGAME

[desirestruth]

...Crow did you raise a mob boss.

[WHERE WAS LUCIEN?]

Re: ENDGAME

[bad_crowmance]

It was a group effort!

[ He looks pretty pleased. ]

Re: ENDGAME

[desirestruth]

...Where was Lucien.

[She expected this from YOU, but...]

Re: ENDGAME

[bad_crowmance]

Oh, he showed up partway through the second round.

Re: ENDGAME

[desirestruth]

[JUDGEMENTAL STARE INTENSIFIES...

Crow, you have a decision to make on whether or not to save your teammate, here.]

Re: ENDGAME

[bad_crowmance]

He's the one who taught her how to swordfight!

[ HELPING. ]

Re: ENDGAME

[desirestruth]

Well, of course, any girl her age should know how to defend herself?

[Wait, she doesn't object to that?]

Re: ENDGAME

[bad_crowmance]

Well, after we found out she'd started catfishing guys, we all got together to make sure she knew self-defense.

[desirestruth]

Cat..fish...?

[Help her out with that verb, here.]

Re: ENDGAME

[luckyheart]

We lost but I don't care at all!

Re: ENDGAME

[bad_crowmance]

[ Same hat tho. ]

Look at her! All grown up and running the place!

Re: ENDGAME

[awakenerd]

Um.

[Your daughter is a delinquent?? Crow she's a criminal.]

Re: ENDGAME

[bad_crowmance]

[ DID HE STUTTER? ]

Yes?

Re: ENDGAME

[awakenerd]

I think you might be a bad influence.

Re: ENDGAME

[bad_crowmance]

Are you kidding, I'm the best influence.

[ No. ]

Re: ENDGAME

[awakenerd]

....

[I'm not going to argue about your parenting techniques right now, but just know I'm silently judging.]

Yeah I don't think so. At any rate...

Re: ENDGAME

[bad_crowmance]

[ He's aware of the silent judging and he's absolutely ignoring it. She was happy! That's the important part. ]

Congratulations on winning. It sure was an interesting trial.

Re: ENDGAME

[awakenerd]

Interesting. Yeah that's a word for it.

Re: ENDGAME

[bad_crowmance]

Got any of your own to add?

Re: ENDGAME

[awakenerd]

Disturbing?

Re: ENDGAME

[nihilmancy]

Hm. Well, she is happy.

Re: ENDGAME

[bad_crowmance]

Yep! And it looks like she's doing just fine for herself.

Re: ENDGAME

[nihilmancy]

[She's still salty but nobody's going to listen to her, so she just smiles.

But also it hurts. Because she remembers that the girl was never real.]

Yes, she is.

Re: ENDGAME

[bad_crowmance]

[ Does he know she's still salty? Absolutely. Is he going to address it? Not a chance. ]

It was an entertaining trial, even if we didn't win. Oh well, there's always next time!
