The hospital room was peaceful, only the steady beeping of a nearby machine. The Swan demoness still and undisturbed until there was a noticeable twice of the features, subtle movement of her limbs, then slowly....

Her eyes opened.

[out-of-heaven-and-hell]

"I've only heard of Marceline in passing, I'm far more familiar with Marsha. A quiet girl, scholarly, a bit odd but well mannered. Loyal to her family." Going off what she had observed, of course, not like the two of them were that close.

Granted, the moment she gave her blessing, she nearly died, so there wasn't much opportunity.

"Why are you asking if I may be so bold?" Not like Stella didn't mind the company, recovery was slow and the hospital was dull.

"Excuse me...what do you know about a woman named 'Marceline Abadeer'? Light gray-blue skin? Black hair? What about someone named 'Marshalia Abadeer'? Or 'Marsha'? Light gray skin...black hair...?"

"That depends, really." that sounded harshier than intended, truthfully Marsha would only really be in trouble with her if she refused to be honest. Frankly the very idea that a lot more was happening right under her beak with her unaware, has already put her on edge.

"Are you dating my daughter?"

[out-of-heaven-and-hell]

Octavia offers her mom a can of soda.

Picks the can up using her thumb and index finger, squints at it.

"What is this even supposed to taste like?"

[out-of-heaven-and-hell]

@thenextchapterbegins ; "honestly big same...it also feels like a bit of a weird flex to me as whale." -blitz

"I think this is less about bragging and more so that he's drunk."

[out-of-heaven-and-hell]

Ya'll are lucky she's unconscious and fighting off the brink of DEATH otherwise she'd have some words for you little shits-

[out-of-heaven-and-hell]

"I might need to have a word with the chief's. This Gougères tastes odd."

"Ugh, I'm tired of seafood. Can't I just order a pizza?"

"If you must but you need proper nutrition to gr-"

"Okay. Thanks mom." The owlette has left the table, food untouched.

[out-of-heaven-and-hell]

"Unless someone like you cares an awful lot. Nothing is going to get better. It's not."

[out-of-heaven-and-hell]

Don't look at her, the Stolas in her universe is dead.

[out-of-heaven-and-hell]

"Mother loved us."

"And we suffer every day because of it."

[out-of-heaven-and-hell]

🕯️Marsha for Stella and Octavia?

send me 🕯️to hear my character's inner thoughts about your character.

"Truthfully? I don't know how I feel about her since it's been revealed she's more than just a friend to Octavia, I want my daughter to be happy, don't get me wrong. And it's certainly nice she has someone, I was never allowed to date at her age, and if my mother had found out? It'd be...nasty, to say the least. And I don't think Octavia understands how drastic everything would be if Paimon found out I just-"

Sigh.

"I want to protect her, but I don't want her to hide who she is, I spent the majority of my own life doing just that. I just hope their romance ends well."

"Oh! Marsha is great! Like, okay, I always thought she was cool, ya know? I don't make a lot of friends and most girls in my age range don't like the same things I do. So, having someone that I could talk to and enjoy a good book reading session with? It was great! Then well... once dad died... I felt real alone. Moms loves me, but she hated my father, and no one seemed to be there for me, but she was. Now we're dating with is really cool, I never dated anyone before not that I've been allowed to really but it's been great. I want to keep spending time with her, I'm always happy to see her and I just...really like her."

Was she falling in love with this girl?

[out-of-heaven-and-hell]

"Why is this nuke nonsense still continuing?"

[out-of-heaven-and-hell]

"The thing about Via, is that it wasn't easy to have her. You know how many eggs I had before her? Five. Four of them were still borns and never even hatched, one of them did hatch but died shortly after doing so. It was also a girl, she looked so frail...so tiny....I wanted to name her Victoria, but she died before even an hour had passed and that was after doing everything in my power to keep her alive.

Stolas wasn't there for any of them, mind you, miscarriage after miscarriage, lost after lost, he never even stopped by. It wasn't until Octavia came around that the only child that was born and managed to live did he pay me any mind.

I won't blame him for my fertility issues, I was young and it wasn't ideal for us to attempt to have kids so early into our marriage but I think he made it clear he didn't care about me from then on. Even when Via was born, I was forced to recover from post partum alone with only Andrealphus to keep me aid. I love my daughter I do, but if I ever had a chance to not....go through that again I would.

Being a mother to another child? I like the idea, but sometimes....I fear I have failed the one I already have."

Ose has never been one for Sinsmas. Either his dad would ruin it, or he just didn't have the money for it. But, not this year. The Leopard cleared his throat.

"'M sure it's nothin' compared t' what y' usually get, but I saw it in th' Greed Ring and figured it'd bring yer whole. . . Look together." He offers her a Rose Quartz inlaid Silver Ring.

"It might surprise you, but I don't actually get many gifts this time around." Not genuine gifts anyway, with the exception of her brother and Octavia most of them didn't have much thought put into it. Which was fine, Stella never made it her mission to get super close to that many people in the noble class but still.

Overlooking the ring, she smiles. Idly putting it onto her ring finger.

"A ring tho? Others might suspect you proposed you know." she teases, before motioning a servant over. The imp carrying a boy they can seem to barely be able to hold before Stella effortlessly picks it up then hands it to him, "I'm sure you have plenty of weapons in your inventory, but nevertheless I hope this makes a delightful addition to your collection."

[out-of-heaven-and-hell]

"Forunately, I've been blessed to not handle my late husbands stupid affairs. Glad to see justice is being handed for other versions of myself."

"Though I still think he got off too easy."

[out-of-heaven-and-hell]

The fact that the poison used on Stella was enough to kill a sin is just funny to me. Her will to live was just that strong.

"STILL ALIVE MOTHERFUCKA!"
