[OOC][PLOT] The Fourth Thread of Planning for Arc 1 - Arrivals

[Labster]

By the way, my Aria Halloween Special is on the wiki and finished, pending a final editing pass.  43kB on a single character, pls don't h8 me.   I'm doing an edit and readthrough of the main Halloween story now, since editing is better when you have a little distance.


Did we want to revive this bit from thread 2:

If we add that to the Halloween party story, he probably would.

Speaking of the Halloween party story, here's a line for you, riffing off a comment you made on the PiratePad.

"Ben, I'm the Goddess of the Past. All of my meaningful relationships - those kind of relationships - are in the past. That means I'm available. Want to go somewhere after this party, just the two of us?"

Heh.  Ben would have a counter for that, but he's pretty sure that saying it out loud would land him in hot water.  That counter being, "But by your own logic, wouldn't that just mean I'm another notch in your headboard once everything is said and done?"

I have all kinds of Asperger-style thoughts like this.  The trouble for me?  Balancing how badly needed the thought is against how many feathers it's going to ruffle.

But in this case, Ben would go for an assist with Belldandy because he knows she'd understand, her not judging Ben based on one statement and instead taking the big picture view.  And she'd understand his concern completely, and then be able to relate this concern to Urd in a way that's not going to anger her.

Also, if your SI says that to Urd, Brent will go up and say, "Urd-sama, can I offer you a drink?"

And when he does, someone gets to see me over at a wall hitting my head against it. "Always alone, always late" when asked will answer "Don't worry about it,  it's just issues."

Bonus points if that "someone" is Kaorin, who is in the same boat and wouldn't be interested in your SI.

I'm just asking because I'm interested in, um, I mean, my SI would enjoy Urd's company.  Especially before being in a major relationship.
