--Softly circle her areolas with your fingers--

:7d_empty: You get behind Outissa, then place your hands on her waist. You hear her breathing intensity in anticipation.
:7d_empty: She lets out a chirp as you slide your hands across her tummy, and up to her breasts.
:7d_empty: You use your fingers to softly trace a pattern around her nipples, causing her to inhale sharply.
:7d_empty: She's putty in your hands, each circle drawn only intensifies the speed of her beating heart.

:7d_empty: With each loop you draw smaller and smaller circles, until you're right up against her nipples.
:7d_empty: She grabs onto your arms, as if demanding you either stop teasing her or tease her much harder.
:7d_empty: Not wanting to disappoint, you softly massage her nipples with your fingers, giving them an occasional light flicking for good measure.
:7d_empty: Heehee~ Look at her squirm~ It's so... delightful~
:7d_empty: She's breathing so heavily now... is she going to climax from this? Ah, that would be truly wonderful~
:7d_empty: ...But try as you might, she never quite makes it over the edge. She's so close to orgasm, but can't quite climax.
:7d_empty: 'Oh, that's even better~' you think to yourself. To see her struggle, panting and praying for a release that never comes~
:7d_empty: Ah, part of you wishes you were in her place. Your own nipples have become so sensitive since the SNAKING MISSION.
:7d_empty: Could you be made to climax by this alone...?
:7d_empty: Ah well~ Today is all about Outissa~
:7d_empty: In a final show of mercy, you remove your hands from her nipples and prepare for the next step.

--Both paths converge here--

:7d_empty: As you think about your next move, you notice Outissa rubbing her butt softly. Ah, is she into that...?
:7d_empty: When you let Skif try your 'other entrance', you weren't overly fond of it... but...
:7d_empty: Maybe Outissa knows something he doesn't? Some secret to making it pleasurable?
:7d_empty: It could be worth a try, but you get the feeling she would be more than happy with sticking to the 'standard' entrance as well.
:7d_empty: What'll it be?

Hold that thought, game.

First, which earlier path should we canonize?

A: Sensually exploring her body.
B: Softly circling her areolas.


And then, what'll Ceri do next?

X: Time to embrace dranal (dragon anal).
Y: Let's make that pussy of hers flow~

We head back and select this option!

As for the second choice... it's a tie.

:7d_cheitired: ....
:7d_cheimina: Heh, who do you think I am? I know how to solve this issue.

Only one person voted for B. Since they're not getting the thing they want in the first choice, why don't we nudge things their way for the second?

:7d_cheimina: This is a well-managed democracy.

:7d_empty: You feel a twinge of guilt. Even though Outissa's into that, you still kinda aren't.
:7d_empty: But the party doesn't have to stop just because you two don't have exactly the same kinks, right?
:7d_empty: At the end of the day, what matters is passion. Pleasure. Enjoyment.
:7d_empty: And you're more than capable of showing her all three of those things in mass quantities.

:7d_empty: You lower your head to her extremely moist and needy entrance, ready to show her what happens when dragons make love.
:7d_empty: While massaging the area around her clit, you use your tongue to enter her, tasting of the nectar inside.
:7d_empty: She gasps suddenly as you feel her walls contract around your tongue. My, my, so easy to please~
:7d_empty: With a wicked grin, you polymorph your tongue to be just a little bit longer... and thicker~
:7d_empty: You slide it around, ensuring no corner of her entrance is left unloved. All the while intensifying your motions on her mound above.
:7d_empty: She grasps your horns as she hits yet another climax. Most girls would have passed out by now, but she demands more.
:7d_empty: And more is what you give her. More and more, drinking her nectar as it continues to gush out of her. What a happy girl. A good girl~
:7d_empty: You coax one more orgasm out of her, before finally deciding to show her a hint of mercy.
:7d_empty: But wouldn't it be a shame for her to miss out? You make sure to give her a kiss so she can taste of her own fluids~

:7d_empty: You let out an un-draconic squeak as she shoves her head between your legs. Oh gosh... oh...
:7d_empty: Her own tongue enters your most sensitive area, and... it's... much bigger than you expected...
:7d_empty: The softness. The texture. Even with your polymorph, you were going light on her in comparison...!
:7d_empty: It's too much... you're gonna... already...
:7d_empty: Aaaahhhhmmmmmnnnn~
:7d_empty: That was... she's not stopping.
:7d_empty: She truly does intend to give you the same treatment...!
:7d_empty: Your eyes roll back as the pleasure starts to feel overwhelming. All you can do is grab onto her head, much as she did yours.
:7d_empty: Wait... already you're... ah... MmmMmmmMmMmm~!!
:7d_empty: Y-you cum easily, but this is... how is she... so good~?
:7d_empty: Not just a good girl... she's the best girl...~
:7d_empty: At this rate, you... you might...
:7d_empty: Despite all your caution... you might... fall in...
:7d_empty: Loaaaaaammmnnhhhh~!!!
:7d_empty: Hah... hah...
:7d_empty: She's... so good at this... you have... much to learn...

The text does a lot of silly things during this.

:7d_siphonyay: It's important to let the text join in the fun too.
:7d_cheipeek: Kind of a shame we're limited to italics here in the LP. Everyone has to just pretend they see the text being all wavy and silly.

A: ...Take her into your arms.
B: ...Offer a light-hearted joke about not being 'just friends' anymore.

Music: A Somber Moment


:7d_empty: You reach an arm around Outissa, drawing her closer to your body.
:7d_empty: Suddenly, she starts to shake violently. And... is she crying?
:7d_empty: It reminds you of your first time... the emotions flared forth and you couldn't help but weep in that moment.
:7d_empty: But this can't be her first time. You're not that naive.
:7d_empty: Could there be more here than just sex? A feeling of... tenderness. Closeness.
:7d_empty: A bond is forming between you, one that may grow big and strong.
:7d_empty: Maybe in this moment, she sees that future. A future or love, of companionship.
:7d_empty: As if answering you, Outissa takes you into her embrace as well.

:7d_empty: The two of you cuddle for a while, enjoying each others' warmth.
:7d_empty: To think this all started with that encounter at the mountains! That she would fall for you so quickly, much as the others had!
:7d_empty: Maybe this is the true power of dragons. Not magic or incredible toughness, but an ability to connect to the hearts of those around them.
:7d_empty: Or maybe this is a power that you alone possess, with your kindness and selflessness.
:7d_empty: A power Euia couldn't remove with Life-Magic.
:7d_empty: You don't know know for sure, but one thing's for sure...
:7d_empty: ...You and your companions have begun to forge everlasting bonds, unbreakable bonds.
:7d_empty: To protect and love those who lack your power.
:7d_empty: ...Love? Do I love...?
:7d_empty: ....

We fade to black.

:7d_empty: With that question hanging in the air, exhaustion wins out and you drift off to sleep, holding the noxan tightly in your arms.
:7d_empty: ....
:7d_empty: When you wake up again, you gently remove yourself from your bed, then wrap her up nice and tight in your blankets.
:7d_empty: Even though it's pretty late, you decide to take a walk around town before turning in for tonight.
:7d_empty: Wait for me, Outissa. I'll be back soon.

Once the scene ends, we find ourselves looking down at a sleeping Outissa. How cute!

:7d_ceri_nude_gentle: (She looks so peaceful... I better let her sleep.)

Technically we can only do this if we do Outissa's scene earlier than this, but if we set the clock back a bit, leave ceri's room and then return...

Day 7 - Night

We could immediately go to bed, but if we look around... oh! It's Siphon and Saint Duke hanging out at the Cliche' Tree! Let's say hi!

:7d_empty: You pause as you walk past the scene of many revelations, the solitary Cliche' tree.
:7d_empty: Its somber beauty takes on a different tone under the moonlight.
:7d_empty: Most recently, it's where Daatra and Zesmirl confronted the truth about their relationship head-on.
:7d_empty: Though you chose not to witness the event directly, Daatra revealed that it was a powerful moment for her.
:7d_empty: The day she finally started believing in herself.
:7d_empty: Just as you start to turn back to the road, you notice something move in the corner of your eye.

:7d_empty: It's Sir Duke, here with Siphon! But why here, of all places?
:7d_empty: You can't help but notice a pained expression on Duke's face. Something's bothering him.
:7d_empty: What will you do?

- Approach the Duke.
-Leave him to his thoughts.


Much like with Daatra, the second choice has Ceri turn around and leave. Unlike with Daatra, we have no real reason not to talk to Duke, so we're gonna go ahead and choose option A since the LP intends to show every scene.

For the curious, here's what happens if you choose to leave:

:7d_empty: Curious as you are, you've learned from Gulketi that sometimes it's best not to try and fix everyone's problems.
:7d_empty: You just have to trust that people will come to you when they need help.
:7d_empty: If something's bothering Saint Duke, he'll tell you about it when the time comes.
:7d_empty: Until then, you'll trust that he will be able to handle whatever it is that bothers him.
:7d_empty: As there's nothing more to do here, you continue down the road to wherever it decides to take you.

On with the scene!

:7d_empty: You approach the Duke, doing your best to look friendly.
:7d_empty: The second he notices you, his sorrowful expression gives way to his usual grinning self.
:7d_siphon_smile: Hi Ceri~
:7d_saintduke_smile: Ah, if it isn't the goddess of love herself!
:7d_ceri_scarf_blushusmile: Haha, I wish.
:7d_saintduke_happy: You need not wish for something you already have!
:7d_ceri_scarf_veryhappy: C-come on, you're making me blush!
:7d_saintduke_grin: Hehehe, slowly but surely this knight recovers the ground he lost to Skif.
:7d_ceri_scarf_goodness: It's really not a competition.
:7d_siphon_siphon: It can be~ Let's find out who can make Ceri cum the hardest~
:7d_ceri_scarf_blushu: S-Siphon...!
:7d_saintduke_gentle: Heh.
:7d_saintduke_sad: ....
:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: (Hmm.)
:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: (I want to ask what's bothering him, but I can't ignore what happened with Gulketi.)
:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: (I need to let things happen naturally. If he wants to tell me what's on his mind, he will.)
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: (Otherwise, I can still help him by giving him company, right?)
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: Nice night, huh?
:7d_saintduke_smile: Any night with you in it is of the highest quality!
:7d_ceri_scarf_siphon: Hmhmm~ You sure know how to steal a dragon's heart.

:7d_empty: You take a seat between Siphon and Saint Duke. The sound of crickets fill the air as they sing their mating song.
:7d_empty: The air is tense. How can you expect Duke to tell you his problems if you can't trust him with your own?
:7d_empty: But yours isn't a secret to be handled lightly. If you had the power of a dragon, that'd be one thing...
:7d_empty: But as a mortal whose only 'powers' are somewhat elevated magic and hardened scales?
:7d_empty: You'd be an easy target for those who practice in controlling and slaying dragons.
:7d_empty: What do you do? ...What do you say?
:7d_empty: Maybe only the crickets know for sure.
:7d_empty: After a long silence, Saint Duke lets out a heavy, wearied sigh.

:7d_saintduke_stressed: R-really, it's nothing.
:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: ....

At this point the game makes a whole bunch of checks, figuring out how much time we've spent with both Saint Duke and Siphon. In order to get him to fully open up, we have to have seen every scene with them. And since this is a 100% playthrough, we have!

:7d_siphon_neutral: We told each other everything, even when it hurt.
:7d_siphon_sad: Especially when it hurt.
:7d_siphon_sad: Chei and I... had a fight once.
:7d_siphon_neutral: We disagreed on how to handle an alien who was freaking out about being naked.

Music: A Somber Moment


:7d_saintduke_pained: How do you wield the gods' strength to carry your burden so effortlessly?
:7d_saintduke_pained: Are we mortals just that weak when compared to dragons?
:7d_ceri_scarf_sad: Mortals are stronger than they... than we think we are.
:7d_ceri_scarf_verygentle: I've seen firsthand what we can accomplish when we work together.

:7d_ceri_scarf_verygentle: I guess you know my little secret, huh?
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: It did seem a little too easy when you believed Skif's half-baked explanation about my wings.
:7d_ceri_scarf_lookaway: I gotta admit, this is not how I saw this going. Everyone else accepted it without batting an eye.
:7d_ceri_scarf_stressed: Though Skif did need a moment.
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: I guess it's fitting his chrival would have an equally strong reaction, heh.

:7d_ceri_scarf_sad: Yeah. Before I even hatched, Life-Magic was used to lock my 'Dragon' self away for everyone's protection.
:7d_ceri_scarf_sad: Something's wrong with it. I've been told I'd go berserk if I was ever made 'whole'.
:7d_ceri_scarf_sad: And even if I didn't, years of mortal life have probably rendered me unable to control my power.

It'd be nice to say we get it from our friends and our parents. That they encourage us and help us believe it'll be alright. Poetic. Hopeful.

But the simple truth is that, our friends hardly know. Parents don't bring it up much. Instead, we think about all the people we love and have met. We remember all the amazing people that we'd make sad, that we'd HURT if we lost control.

And so we make sure we don't. Simple as that.

Choosing ourselves, huh? If I were asked this question, I'd definitely have to choose my friends. Without them, I'd still be back on Fishbowl sweeping floors! But in Ceri's case, there's no arguing she's made it this far thanks to her incredible inner strength.

:7d_ceri_scarf_sad: To be honest, sometimes I'm not sure.
:7d_ceri_scarf_verygentle: I love my body. My shapes and curves, despite what various mammals have said over the years.
:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: But maybe I obsess over my body because it's harder to love...
:7d_ceri_scarf_sad: ...The rest of me.
:7d_siphon_gentle: But you're good and cute and sweet.
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: It's nice to hear that, especially from someone I showed my darker feelings to.
:7d_ceri_scarf_sad: But my encounters with Daatra revealed that I'm no different from her.
:7d_ceri_scarf_sad: I often doubt myself. I worry too much. I make impulsive decisions.
:7d_ceri_scarf_verygentle: But in a way, it helps me understand Kharadra's message even more.
:7d_ceri_scarf_verygentle: Loving yourself doesn't stop at your body. You have to learn to love your mind, too.
:7d_ceri_scarf_verygentle: You can't just focus on your weaknesses. You have to embrace the good things about yourself.
:7d_ceri_scarf_blushusmile: It helped that Daatra basically beat me over the head with my good points.

Apparently older versions of the game didn't show this part, so those players had to use their ~imaginaaation~

:7d_empty: As you inspect the circle, you realize that it's incomplete.
:7d_empty: Not only that, the lines are drawn shakily, and have been smudged out in places.

:7d_saintduke_neutral: They've started taking bounties. Hiring assassins to do their dirty deeds.

:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: I do my best.
:7d_ceri_scarf_neutral: I guess the next question is, how much do they know about me?
:7d_saintduke_neutral: Like I said, we were acting on a rumor that a dragon had been sighted here.
:7d_saintduke_neutral: We get enough false positives on that front that it should be trivial to convince them there's nothing here.
:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: Do you have any idea who gave them that rumor?
:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: ....
:7d_ceri_scarf_angry: Adele Fonzarelli. Tell me. Was it a female galeacoma?
:7d_saintduke_concerned: I'm afraid I don't know, mistress. They didn't consider that important enough to tell me.
:7d_ceri_scarf_angry: That bitch. I knew she'd try something like this.
:7d_siphon_concerned: Are you sure? She wants Skif to make you a slave, not to kill you.
:7d_ceri_scarf_sad: ...I guess that's true. For her, I'm just some 'prize' for Skif to claim, and he can't exactly do that if I'm dead.

:7d_empty: Only its swaying leaves know for sure.

>IIRC on the final night you get bonus progress for training physical stats. Or maybe it was all stats? I didn't test very much.
You do! I forgot to mention that, sorry. And yeah, it's only for physical stats. I read in an interview that this is because gaining those stats requires you to beat the hardest music minigame, and when they added the 'no audio' version near the end of development they gave that one a boost too.

They probably did that so the game didn't punish people who couldn't hear the music, but in hindsight it does mean you can get those bigger boosts for basically free, huh?

Game balance is hard.

...S-so I'm told.

Anyway. VIM got a lot of votes, so let's go ahead and train it twice!

I'd be sorry.

:7d_maleelnpc_neutral: That's about as much of it as I can play right now.
:7d_maleelnpc_neutral: So... what do you think?
:7d_ceri_scarf_defeated: (Who saw this coming? Everyone? Literally every single person? Cool.)
:7d_ceri_scarf_knowinglook: (Just be glad I didn't pop up a familiar picture while it played.)
:7d_ceri_scarf_smug: (We're more classy than that.)
:7d_ceri_scarf_stressed: (...But not classy enough to avoid playing it in the first place.)
:7d_maleelnpc_neutral: ...I don't know how to read that series of emotions you're making.
:7d_ceri_scarf_shocked: Gah! Was I making faces? Does that always happen when I think to myself!?
:7d_maleelnpc_neutral: Uh...
:7d_ceri_scarf_stressed: It uh, it makes me want to be loyal to my partners and do my best not to disappoint them?
:7d_maleelnpc_neutral: Whoa. That's an oddly specific thing for my music to make you feel.
:7d_ceri_scarf_stressed: I'm... good at finding the deeper meaning behind the notes?
:7d_ceri_scarf_lookaway: For instance, I feel like I've heard the same three notes my entire life.
:7d_maleelnpc_neutral: Ah, so you're capable of noticing motifs! Maybe you should take up guitar, eh?
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: Haha, maybe at some point.

:7d_maleelnpc_neutral: It'd be nice to have someone else to play with, you know?
:7d_ceri_scarf_stressed: W-we'll see.

:7d_triti_neutral: The conference today was fun in ways I didn't expect.
:7d_ceri_scarf_thoughtful: Oh?
:7d_triti_neutral: Well, I met up with the specialist and decided to go bottomless to the conference with them.
:7d_triti_neutral: Turns out a lot of the attendees were also in various states of undress.
:7d_triti_happy: The casual behavio(u)r was so extreme that it made things much less stressful.
:7d_ceri_scarf_happy: This is quickly becoming a city where you can dress as little or as much as you'd like!
:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: Must have been a huge relief.
:7d_triti_happy: It sure was! Since it's warmer here than up north, I think I might go nude for the rest of my visit!
:7d_ceri_scarf_lookaway: A winning strat.
:7d_triti_happy: There's a lot of fun to be had here if you don't mind the lack of pockets!
:7d_triti_happy: I hope I can one day be as confident as you seem to be, Ceri.
:7d_triti_happy: Hey, if you're ever visiting up north, why don't you look me up? I'd love to show you around my own town!
:7d_ceri_scarf_happy: I look forward to it!
:7d_triti_sultry: And if you ever need a doctor, feel free to give me a call. No dress-code required!
:7d_ceri_scarf_smug: That's what I like to hear.

--

:7d_triti_sultry: I'll be here a few more days. I'd like to 'hang out' with the locals a bit more.

:7d_malebirbnpc_neutral: It's just as you predicted! This would make for a much more suitable base of operations!
:7d_fembirbnpc_neutral: And the neighbo(u)rhood's real friendly, too!
:7d_malebirbnpc_neutral: We should move all our stuff over post-haste!
:7d_fembirbnpc_neutral: But darling, are you sure we can afford the rent?
:7d_malebirbnpc_neutral: Fear not! I've charmed the landlord into giving us a discount!
:7d_fembirbnpc_neutral: Marvelous! This will be a wonderful place to raise our children!
:7d_malebirbnpc_neutral: Children? My dear, we must wait until after our adventure to consider that!
:7d_fembirbnpc_neutral: Oh, that's right! First things first!
:7d_malebirbnpc_neutral: Yes! Once we settle down for real, we can fill the world with offspring eternal!
:7d_fembirbnpc_neutral: Oh, darling, that would be lovely!
:7d_ceri_scarf_goodness: (I should introduce them to Penny. She probably knows all about the bush economy.)

:7d_malebirbnpc_neutral: Miss! What do you think of this location?
:7d_ceri_scarf_goodness: It looks very... homely?
:7d_fembirbnpc_neutral:That's what I was saying!
:7d_malebirbnpc_neutral: From here we shall expand outward, adventuring to our hearts content!
:7d_fembirbnpc_neutral:We simply must take in all the sights!
:7d_ceri_scarf_lookaway: (Dunno how much there is to actually see out here in the middle of nowhere, but I'm not gonna ruin their excitement.)

--

:7d_ceri_scarf_goodness: (As quirky as they are, this is some serious relationship goals.)

:7d_malemamnpc_neutral: Ceri! I can mostly see again! I can finally take these glasses off tomorrow!
:7d_ceri_scarf_happy: Congratulations! Did you manage to finish your book?
:7d_malemamnpc_neutral: No, but Lester read it aloud to me last night.
:7d_ceri_scarf_happy: Wow! All that tension and denial building up all week, and your friend helped bring you to the peak!
:7d_ceri_scarf_siphon: ...Was it satisfying after all that buildup? Did you get your happy ending??
:7d_malemamnpc_neutral: Nah. Mostly sequel-bait for the next book in the series.
:7d_ceri_scarf_veryshocked: Nooooooooooooooooooooo!

How cruel!

:7d_femmamnpc_neutral: Man, this green lady's a good listener. Talking to her makes me homesick...
:7d_ceri_scarf_goodness: And you work out when homesick?
:7d_femmamnpc_neutral: Naturally.

--

:7d_femmamnpc_neutral: I can't help but tell her why I'm doing all this.

We'll go ahead and talk to her companion:

:7d_femliznpc_neutral: My new friend is very excited about fitness.
:7d_femliznpc_neutral: She told me she wants to be as acrobatic as her role models, the Power Park Rangers.
:7d_ceri_scarf_confused: Don't they use wires to pull most of those stunts off?
:7d_femliznpc_neutral: ....
:7d_ceri_scarf_stressed: Er, I mean yeah! It's real impressive!

Oh hey! Ceri's parents aren't often seen outside their homes.

:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: Oh! Hey, Dad!
:7d_sheriim_smile: Hey, babygirl.
:7d_ceri_scarf_thoughtful: So what brings you out here?
:7d_sheriim_neutral: This is where you and your friends hang out, right?
:7d_sheriim_thoughtful: The UNDERWATER BASE, was it?
:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: We call it UNITY BASE now, heehee.
:7d_sheriim_neutral: Part of me wants to check it out, but... I don't want to intrude on your business more than I have.
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: Come on, accepting I'm an adult doesn't mean we can't still show each other stuff.
:7d_sheriim_gentle: Heh, I guess that's true.
:7d_ceri_scarf_stressed: I'm just worried the place will be... overwhelming for you guys.
:7d_sheriim_woe: That just makes me more curious!
:7d_ceri_scarf_stressed: Eheheh... I dunno if I'm hyping it up too much or not enough.
:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: Tell you what. How about we visit Unity Base together after Dragon's Day?
:7d_ceri_scarf_lookaway: (That way I can warn them so we don't walk in on them having sex or something.)
:7d_sheriim_smile: Sounds good! Er... but I'm not able to breathe water like you and Mom.
:7d_ceri_scarf_happy: It's fine! We have a submarine we use to get from here to there!
:7d_sheriim_shocked: Really!? You guys were able to pay for something like that?
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: I'll... explain everything to you when we visit for real.
:7d_sheriim_woe: I'm gonna be thinking about this all day now.

:7d_sheriim_smile: Looking forward to it.

It's actually pretty hard to get a screenshot of this image without Ceri talking over it, but in this case I feel it's appropriate to keep her dialog. This is it!

:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: Wow, I guess this is it, huh?
:7d_myra_shocked: What?
:7d_ceri_scarf_sillysad: This is the last time we're gonna do this!!
:7d_myra_stressed: W-why would you think that?
:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: ...I dunno. I guess I'm just not used to how quickly time's been passing lately.
:7d_ceri_scarf_lookaway: The last few weeks felt like years, and then this past week felt like it all happened at once?
:7d_sheriim_happy: Haha, sometimes it really feels like that.
:7d_myra_smile: We'll keep doing this with you as long as you want us to, dear.
:7d_sheriim_smile: Yeah. Maybe it'll be offscreen, but that doesn't mean it won't keep happening.
:7d_ceri_scarf_blushusmile: Thanks for breaking the 4th wall to cheer me up, guys.
:7d_ceri_scarf_thoughtful: Anyway, I guess D-Day's just around the corner, huh?
:7d_myra_happy: Yep! Are you gonna invite any of your friends?
:7d_ceri_scarf_thoughtful: (Hmm. I could invite the entire hoard...)
:7d_ceri_scarf_thoughtful: (...Or just the ones I feel a special connection with, to keep it kinda small.)
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: (I think I'll invite Daatra regardless of what I choose.)
:7d_ceri_scarf_happy: (She's my sister now, after all. She's family too!)
:7d_ceri_scarf_thoughtful: (Or maybe I shouldn't invite anyone, even Daatra? There's no telling what Mrs. F might have planned.)
:7d_empty: Who will you invite?


I believe this is the final decision of the LP. Let's make it count!

:7d_siphond: Time for the most powerful tie.
:7d_cheishock: S-Siphon! Don't encourage them to do that!

A: Everyone!
B: Just those you're closely bonded with.
C: Just invite Daatra.
D: Don't invite anyone extra.
