Summary
Zebani and Emnity try to get the other demon to stop, but Cruelty is on a rampage. She interposes her five foot tall frame between her charge and Yanessa like a shield. Like Zebani's mother never has.
"You are a vile woman, Yanessa Halovar. You twist everyone around you to your ends with no regard for their being. You have been horrendous to Zebani, she who has done nothing to you, she who owes you nothing-"

Summary
Cruelty's sisters came one by one over the last few months, somehow getting physical forms and contracting themselves to the family. Zebani had been admittedly sad to see Cruelty inevitably be alloted to someone else. They weren't exactly friends, but Cruelty was the first person to look at her with desire in a long time, even if it was carnal and visceral. She had nothing left to give Cruelty. Zebani had her place; in the basement, with the rest of her house's skeletons.
or, wicander's sister has known the truth for a long time

Summary
“You may have as many partners as you wish, Stephanivien. Far be it from me to tell you who to spend your time with while I rest. I only hope that you'll remember to bring me back at some point after this whole mess is dealt with.”
“What?”
The question makes Artoirel curl in on himself a bit, but Steph catches him, putting a taloned hand on a pale forearm to hold him in place. “I- sorry, that came out wrong. I was just confused how you would ever think I would forget you in there. And while the rest of that is fine to hear, I meant getting a third party you can feed from.”

Summary
"I am not expecting anything of you. I am, as always, telling you the way things are. You had the chance to fix things the right way. Even if you failed, you would've been better for this task. You had all the support you needed and a drive to see the unknown to boot. But because you are a coward, my future. one that I'd always dreamed of, is gone."
Steph steps towards the bed. "That's not fair. I was a child-"
"So was I! And where have you been every year between then and now?"

Summary
He thought Artoirel was being nice, or perhaps taunting, wearing the shoes in those meetings despite how horribly even Steph could tell they clashed with the regular red pants. Then Stephanivien saw the man wear them outside, and he couldn't tell if the sight should get his heart racing or his head spinning. Artoirel had always cared so deeply about his perception, to the detriment of his relationships with his family, and it seemed deeply odd that Artoirel would considering wearing them.
or, a present turns into a revelation

Summary
There, at the end of the crumbs, is what can only be described as a beast.
Most of its fur is a mottled gray, excepting a patch of white from its snout to its stomach. Its head is tipped down to lick its own leg (that is the size of its whole body over). The nose of the thing twitches with a violence. Its ears are long, long and wide, and far too large for the strange proportions of its body. The eyes on either side of its head marks it as a prey animal, but there's a terrifying emptiness in them that emanate an aura of maleficence.
One ear swivels to face Cisone. The face follows.
or, cisone meets a beast

Summary

He walks directly into another man, then jumps back so suddenly that he almost loses the grip on his tablet. The other person prevents the tech from falling with an open hand under it.
"Ah-" Artoirel takes his tablet in both hands. "Apologies. Go on with your evening. I'll-"
"Artoirel?"
He glances up, ilm by ilm, in disbelief. And yet there is no denying that his dead ex-fiance is here before him.

Summary
With a flick of her hand, Cisone summons the facsimile of Midgardsormr. It floats besides her, unseeing and unspeaking, as it has been since her last discussion with the great wyrm inside of Omega. Her lip trembles. This fragment is no more sentient than the roaming dragons. There is no purpose, not fulfillment, not community, not even base survival.

Summary
The drink in his hands is… effervescent to say the least. Taupe in color and bitter in smell. Tedalgrinche wrinkles his nose. He considers dropping the thing and just running, but Jannequinard pins him in place with his eyes, like he's one of many dead butterlies on the walls of Dzemael manor.
"Drink," Steph says. There is no room for argument.

Summary
Steph struggles to follow precisely what the point of Hatchingtide is. How could he, when his longtime friend regains some of that childlike wonder as the lighthearted concert in Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre washes over him? What could be more important than taking in every glimpse of the flower crown adorning his stuffy fiance's hair with cream-colored gossamer ribbons following in his wake? He's no bard like Guydelot, no orator like Artoirel, but his heart bursts with the desire to string words together that would prove his adoration.

Summary
The environment is suddenly ruined by a shriek. The intensity of it makes Artoirel assume someone on the factory floor has lost an arm or something similar, so he rushes to the railing. The press loves a hero.
On the upside, it's probably best that his assumption was wrong. What would he do about a severed arm anyway? On the downside, the truth of the situation was far worse. Haurchefant Greystone has entered the building at Francel's side. Half a dozen starstruck idiots circle up to stroke his ego.

"How is it? Without your minders?"
"Most of them have had the common sense to not be seen by me, so it isn't that strange. Koana has been in Sharlayan for however long, and Erenville…"
Lamaty'i laughs, wiping an already falling tear from her eye. "He was gone too. For years now. But it's like- it's like he never left. There's always a voice in my head, saying things like 'I believe in you' and 'think before you act' and 'look out for that ceno- AH!"

Summary
It started small and overwhelmed him fast, just like all great loves do.
