we DIDN'T hit each other with rocks this time. hooray!

[nrangel]

We sure didn't do any rock hitting at all! Which honestly that seems to be the way it goes for us, huh? We have a pair in zombies that are snarling and circling each other with great distrust, and a pair in ayto that are honestly very cute.

Though unlike Kat and Lessing who made for very cute friends, Furina and Serpilia managed to reach much greater heights by the end of this game.

So when the two of them first met despite Furina's tendency to talk in a kind of haughty way, she made a pretty good impression on Serpilia. It's a funny thing about Sankta, but with the rare exception almost all of them are sweet lovers, so Furina doing something as simple as just enjoying cake with her felt like a decent starting point to Serpilia. It was fun, simple, and a point in which the two of them could relate to each other that Serpilia enjoyed, especially when it went hand in hand with cute promises to do clothing swaps after style compliments were given.

Any sense at all that Furina might be even a little bit haughty or full of herself would definitely have been dashed by the time they played spin the bottle. So many of the people that Serpilia kissed managed to stay so cool and collected during their kisses, despite her best attempts to fluster some of them. While Furina wasn't the only person she did fluster, Furina was the one she visibly flustered the most by a long shot, and that genuinely delighted her. She wanted to have some fun with this, and a little teasing is part of the fun for her. It helps that Furina's embarrassed reactions were incredibly cute and endearing, and I think put Furina near the top of her list pretty fast.

The date they had where they really did exchange outfits and, ahem... some other things where the cameras couldn't see them really cemented Furina as one of her top choices the other two obviously one being Ringo, and actually the other being Shoko.

The problem for Serpilia was she got there a little late in both cases. Having been picked by Poppy the first time, Shoko naturally picked Poppy in turn, and something was clearly starting to heat up between those two, and Ringo and Furina, well...

To be honest, Serpilia herself could see the chemistry, and thought the two had a good chance of being a perfect match. She was genuinely happy for the possibility, because she liked both of them, and since she herself hadn't joined the game with real intentions to find her match, she told herself repeatedly that she was fine with nothing really working out for her anyway. It wasn't entirely true, as seeing the two of them walking together and feeling so right for each other did feel both heartwarming and a little bittersweet to her.

Thanks to Furina's request though, she was able to add her own little fingerprints on their relationship still, and I think it's hard to describe how touched she felt by the fact that Furina wanted her to pick out their outfits, and the fact that they both went ahead and wore what she chose for them. She definitely bragged about it to the others during the ceremony, and soaked up all the compliments their fits got, though part of that was it was also easier to do that than deal with any heartbreak alongside her pride and joy for them.

She was pretty ready to let the whole thing go too, and just toss herself fully into mathing the situation out and cementing friendships, but then Edamura had to go and talk to her and make her come clean about the fact that she'd caught feelings for both Furina and Ringo. Saying it out loud made it more real, and even though there was a catharsis in being able to let it out, it also made it harder for her to move ahead with operation: get over crushes.

Especially when they invited her to join them for barely covered spa time. Especially especially when they hatched an elaborate albeit foolhardy plan to sneak her back into their honeymoon suite with them. When the two of them admitted to wanting Serpilia to join them as their third, she really hit her emotional peak in the game. It was the only time she got teary at all, and as a woman not prone to crying it meant she was really getting hit big time with elation, relief, surprise, and all sorts of other feelings in that moment. It seemed unreal to her, and the fact that she was a little drunk probably didn't help it feel more grounded either, but hey it all worked out.

It worked out really well, considering the night ended in the bbr where despite us not getting to rp it all out I'm sure ended in Furina getting teased mercilessly by Ringo and Serpilia both.

There wasn't much time left in the game then, but Serpilia did want to spend what she could with her girls, and celebrate and share her joy with them. It's why when they managed to get it all right in the end and successfully win the game and the wishes, as much as she was happy to have someone she liked as much as Shoko as her official perfect match, her first impulse was to run into Furina and Ringo's arms.

I said this to Cal, but I will say it here too, but Serpilia is ironically a bit of an ambivert that swings really heavily between isolating and being super friendly and chatty. In a month long game though I was not going to play the introverted part of her out however LMAO, so everyone got her more social side.

In a relationship with Furina and Ringo, I think this could work out really well with her being the third instead of the only one dating one or the other of these women. She's busy because of her work for two organizations, and her commitment to check in on the girl whose life she ruined, and making sure she's safe, but she also needs her recharge time away from people. That Furina and Ringo have each other regardless, and that Serpilia can pop in as she can/wants to without causing her girlfriend(s) to be lonely probably works out ideally for everyone involved. I do think as time goes on she probably would want to spend more time with them though, even if it meant shirking some of her job related duties here and there.
