You asked for it, so here’s the fully story of what led to the madness of Saturday night at RTXL.

For context, @cenizacaer and I had been planning the beauty and the beast crossover since about July time and eventually decided Yang would be the beast and Blake Belle. We were pretty hype for RTXL and doing a crossover we’d never seen done in cosplay before somehow. (Also our first date was to see Beauty and the Beast).

So cue about a month and a half before RTXL, I’ve basically got my costume together at this point other than my steampunk robo arm. I’m sitting in my flat chatting away to my sister, joking about how these outfits would be perfect for a cosplay proposal, but that it’s probably too soon for any of that. And she just flat out says “Well, why don’t you? If you’re so sure about it why care what other people might think?”

And suddenly a switch is flicked in my head. The only reason I’m delaying this is for the sake of other people’s opinions, and that’s no way to live or make decisions in my life. I’m sure of doing it now, I’m not even remotely nervous, because I know I’ve never felt more certain about a person or a choice in my life. I don’t really believe in soul mates, but how quickly I clicked with @cenizacaer and just how well we get along, it’s definitely made me reconsider that view.  

So all of a sudden I’m planning this proposal, down to the moment, exactly what I want to say. Not many people know this, but @cenizacaer‘s had a lot of people go in and out of her life without ever really committing or being steadfast when things got rough. It makes her worried that people she cares about will just leave when things get difficult. That was part of my decision, I wanted to show that I wasn’t fair weather, I was someone she could put all her faith in. 

Cue RTXL, I’ve got a ring, all of my group of friends that are with me know the plan and wait for the moment I’ve decided on Saturday night to give the signal. We’re taking these pictures beside the river after the con is over for the day, 

And by this point I’ve put the ring box in my pocket, just waiting for the right moment. 

And here I’m getting ready to, I’m waiting for @cenizacaer to stand up so I can start the whole speech, but the gurl doesn’t. She stays rooted even when I stand up and I’m like wtf is going on. All of our friends are standing watching in silence behind us. 

So Ceni straight up pulls out a ring box and I’m so confused and in disbelief. She starts with “This isn’t an engagement, it’s a promise.” Basically, she’s giving me a promise ring, and keeping one for herself, one gold, one silver. At this point my own script has gone out the window but I still go forward with my plan in a somehow smooth manner. 

I start with, “I’ve got a better question…” And yank the ring box from my pocket. Cue Ceni basically being unable to talk for the next minute (which is a very rare occurrence) 

Surprise, she said yes! Kinda, I think this kiss tells you all you need to know. One of the only actual scripted lines from my proposal I got in was “You’re the Yin to my Yang.” Followed by a wink. (Barb appreciated that the next day when we met her)

So basically my sister had been scheming for both of us the whole month before, keeping both of us in the dark to each other’s plans, until this absolutely perfect, fairy tale moment, where we both end up planning to do the thing at the exact same time. It’s honestly the most crazy thing that’s ever happened to me but I couldn’t be happier for how it happened.

Let’s appreciate this true love right here. I HOPE YALL HAVE MANY HAPPY YEARS A HEAD!!

While the speech was a bit morale boosting, they were still on edge, their fingers on the trigger. When the demons began to slowly appear, Shlaereen formed a holy barrier, caroling them into a tight, narrow path. This killzone was taken advantage by the gunners, who unleashed a vast Spray of holy rounds into the oncoming demons.

@saviorgoddessastrid

As these demons were all pretty low-end combatants, it was no great surprise that they were easily dispatched.  Despite what Red warned, there was no second wave, as there could be no second wave in time to stop Joe from downloading the map.

“Ah, right, before I forget, there’s a little something I’ve been working on that might come in handy,” Astrid mentioned.  “I’ll send it down to aid you once you’re in combat with those Demon Lords.  It should make the fight a lot easier.”

@phazonhuntress​

Nora can’t help but give a small, slightly sardonic grin,”You’ve been developing weapons and techniques without me? I thought what we had was special, Astrid” She teases, looking over the suit readouts on the soldiers present, administering painkillers as needed

“I would think that he would make the trek to his palace a little easier, considering the work we’re doing for him… is there something about becoming a demon that automatically makes you an idiot?” She asks, toying with some of her screens.

@spartan-joe371

Joe activated the map display, tapping a few holographic buttons and downloading the map into his armor.  From there, his suit’s navigation suite located where Adam’s palace was and marked it for him.

“Found it,” Joe declared.  “It’s not far from here, actually.  As for the combat we’re getting into, either these demons aren’t working for Adam, or they are and he’s trying to test us in what we can accomplish.  I doubt he wants us to fight for him if we can’t actually do our job properly, after all.”

@fleet-admiral-red​

Red gave a single quiet nod, recalling the combat drones back. If these demons were part of a test from Adam, it made sense that he would evaluate them in his own little way.

The scout drones he’d sent ahead suddenly relayed a warning on his HUD. They’d begun picking up clearer readings from the vast cloud of Hell Energy ahead of them, and what they found wasn’t good.

Demons. A sea of infernal creatures that was still growing even now. At their current state alone, they rivaled a Zerg engagement force in numbers.

A rather large demon was presiding over them. Was that one of the Demon Lords Adam wanted gone?

In any case, this was worth a mention, and so Red raised his voice enough for the party to hear.

“Heads up. The scout drones I sent out investigated that mass of Hell Energy. It’s demons, by the hundreds and growing. Demon Lord suspected to be leading this hostile force. I recommend we head to Adam’s palace first and at once.”

so last night my nightmare was that i was doing adult stuff writing checks, and in the part of the check where you say the amount of money in words, i wrote “fifty dollars fucking exactly”, and then spent the rest of the nightmare stressing about whether the bank takes checks with cussing in them or not

the next time i see @loononthepond in real life i am handing her a check for “two dollars fucking exactly” and we will report back with results

Fiance worked at a bank and says they definitely took checks with swearing as long as they could read the “Fifty Dollars” part.

He once had someone hand him a check for “seventy-six dollars and twelve cents, I hope you choke on it asshole” with an additional “travel expenses, to hell” in the “for” section.
