Ken: She said yes. Ken: Tackled me to the ground, nearly lost the ring. But it's a yes.

Jonah: Hi Bex! In the light of recent events just wanted to check in on how you're doing? Jonah: What happened was a lot and what you bid was..well wanted to ask about that too...

she nearly walked past the figure. she nearly ignored the figure but something made her slow down a bit and take a good look at his face. her jaw tightened as she put a name and a title to the face. naturally a few indians had ended up in dubai as well but knowing the fact didn’t make facing them any easier. but the thing was... she wanted to look them, him especially, in the eyes and show that she was there. she existed. she mattered. she stopped a few steps away from him and turned around. “ good afternoon. “ if you asked her, she was already being too polite towards him. “ you’re the rajasthani duke, are you not ? “ [ @rchvnt​ ]

Ken: Great, I'm more tropes than person. Might as well be a character. But, yes, I get what you mean and I wish I could reject that description, sadly they all seem to ring true. Even the affection thing now. Ken: I'm going to look up those characters though, see if they compare better than that idiotic Cullen from those Vampire books. Leyla once said I was also that Stefan person from another vampire show. Ken: Lots of evil, I see.

Rohan: It's not one person, but I guess it's named for Lord Byron. It's like an archetype from Romantic novels? Heathcliff, Rochester. Let me look up the formal definition. Rohan: a man proud, moody, cynical, with defiance on his brow, and misery in his heart, a scorner of his kind, implacable in revenge, yet capable of deep and strong affection. Rohan: You but as a compliment ✨ Rohan: Of course there is. There's lots of them. Evil Sister. Evil Neighbor. Evil Boss. Evil Lady at the Grocery Store. Etcetera etcetera

Ken: Who the hell is Byronic Hero? If this another Ken doll joke, I don't want to hear it. In any case, you are the right person because I'm actually starting to believe you, except the spectacular part, that's false. Ken: That sounds a little too detailed for me to think you're just making up things. Is there a TV show like that?

Rohan: Has everyone ever told you you give Byronic Hero? I know I'm in no place to talk but you deserve every happiness in the world, Ken. You're a spectacular person. Rohan: Start rumors that border just on the edge of libelous, so you won't be able to sue them. And then there'll be a TV show about it, and they'll cast a lovely albeit non-union actor to play you in the reenactments. Is that what you want? Rohan: omw 👍

[kenxmatsui]

Ken: I think it has yet to sink in, but thank you. Ken: It's safe and sound. I'm bad luck enough we don't need more of that. You're fine. She can try taking it, it'll be the last thing she ever does. Ken: Ice cream?

Rohan: Ken! Congrats!! I knew she would! Rohan: DON'T lose the ring! It's bad luck. Keep it away from Poppy. Rohan: I'm being mean. We should celebrate!

Jonah: Well, Suresh said it was a focus group. 20/80??? Not a chance babe. Maybe 60/40, I'm being generous because I do indeed love and adore you. Jonah: You say this and I still have no faith in you trying not to trick me. The crabs deserve better. Jonah: Not same room, Bex! But Rohan will still be subjected to my rants because I'm so glad you asked. Jonah: Because yes, I have heard of that theory! Carcinisation is such a fascinating concept and invlves a lot of fun evolution! We think that since there have been at least five separate times observations of convergent evolution in species (which is big in itself! to think similar features evolved in species at different periods in time and in different places that have a similar features is wildly exciting. I mean sure it's happened before with echolocation in whales and bats, but that's really going to be a tangent) but yes they evolved into something that looked like crabs so it's not impossible to rule out such a thing happening more often. The fact that it happened independently over and over again poses a good question doesn't it? When a trait appears in an animal it's a sign that it's advantageous so this phenomena happening among crustaceans is a good point of observation to see how it can further grow and what features stick with generations. Or on the flip-side could it maybe be a consequence of something else in the organism? Still beneficial in it's own way but either way it highlights versatility of the species! Like it make sense for a cylindrical body to flatten out, if you think about it. And the revere can happen too if there's a need for it. Sure, this could just be an exaggeration because if we apply it to humans it doesn't make a ton on sense since human bodies aren't modular like crabs, so us turning into crabs likely might not happen soon, but never rule out the possibility when evolution is involved! Jonah: Bex, did you know there's a species of crab called Jonah? I'd like to think I'm half-way there on name alone. Jonah: [sends a picture of a crab in a hat] also look 🥰 Jonah: Don't worry my entire state of being is anxiety, so, similar boat. I'd like to think there's no waterfall at the end. But that sounds good. I hope she can join. I'm not picking a movie then.

@illputabexonyou

Bex: I'm getting the idea that you guys are in the same room, for whatever reason. Bex: Hey, Jonah, is it true that everything becomes crab? I heard about that theory online, speaking of. Bex: [DELETED] You say that now but Bex: I think my resting state of being is worry. But...I'll try. Bex: A movie night sounds nice. Um, sure? I can see if she's free.

Jonah: I was in a one man focus group! Do you want to learn Norwegian for me? I can get you the 50/50 if you do. And it was just an idea. The other random man on the beach got a lot more than that. Getting hitched won't stop this man, Bex. He's a menace. Jonah: I got my glasses on my aim will be pretty good, I can throw it across to wherever you are. Which is not in this room, no. That would be bad of us to do that. Jonah: I could've discovered a new species, a december crab, can you imagine? But no, it was a trick. But I guess I can't be too mad about it since I got a ring out of it. Jonah: 🥰 Jonah: I've accepted it, but remember we've established that we are old and Bex is a child. Or would you like to revisit the 'everything is online' conversation? Jonah: You'll never be putting too much on us, don't ever worry on that. Oh good idea! I'm sorry I don't know all of your friends names except Billie. You two are close and good friends, right? Would she be interested in a movie night?

@illputabexonyou

Bex: Won't you share it 50/50 once you're hitched? Bex: Ditto to that. Magic is...a lot. Bex: Dads stop fighting :( Bex: I know. Thank you. It's all just a lot right now, I guess. And I don't wanna put more stuff on you guys when you already have so much to deal with.

@rohanxpersaudx

[kenxmatsui]

Ken: I won't be waiting for it, no. That already happens, I don't expect it to stop. Even getting to this stage seems like something of a miracle, that I could have a life and be happy, it's not something I ever knew could be possible. Ken: What are they going to do? Interview me? Ken: Yes.

Ken: I think it has yet to sink in, but thank you. Ken: It's safe and sound. I'm bad luck enough we don't need more of that. You're fine. She can try taking it, it'll be the last thing she ever does. Ken: Ice cream?

[jonahxrivas]

Jonah: I've copyrighted it, you'll have to pay me royalties if you want to use it 😘 Jonah: I was just curious! Magic is fascinating as well as scary. So what if it makes my voice sound deeper? Are you telling me you didn't find it hot? I'm going to throw a pillow at your face Jonah: Ignore Rohan, Bex! He's trying to cover up the fact he couldn't find his own fiancé Jonah: But Bex, you don't have to thank us for that, we're glad to have you as well, you're family to us. And you can always be sentimental with us, it's not as if we're not. Please don't worry about things being complicated, very much accustomed to that so take your time, we'll always be here whenever you'd like to talk

@illputabexonyou

Bex: I'm really glad I have you guys. Not to be sentimental or anything, but you two are like family to me. So...thank you for being there for me. Bex: Umm, probably not? It wasn't really my money to begin with... Bex: Well, it is but it isn't. It's.. complicated. @rohanxpersaudx

[jonahxrivas]

Jonah: Terrifying is the word for it and my constant state of mind, but there are pockets of goodness which can't be swept away. Try not to think about it too much, I know it can't be helped sometimes but like Ro said, we're all still here. Also don't think there's much we can do. Jonah: Yes, a little mystery is nice, but apparently I was so much you never recognised me at the ball. I should've kept my ruse up as a Siren. Jonah: You're alright Bex, bluff or otherwise, this is all just a little teasing, I'm glad you're here and care about us. Hopefully you'll get your billions back, somehow?

@illputabexonyou

Bex: Yeah, I'm glad you're all okay, despite everything...Like, physically. Bex: I don't know what to think about all this, really. It's..terrifying? Bex: Of course I bid for you, it's the least I could do. For both of you. Bex: It was...just a bluff?

@rohanxpersaudx

[jonahxrivas]

Jonah: Thankful you're not hurt as well! If you ever need anything, let us know. Jonah: Well, emotional support wise at least, that we can offer. Monetary is another story. Jonah: [in reply to Rohan]: Sure has, down $2000. I guess Bex loves you more than I do.

@illputabexonyou

Bex: I'm managing. Are you guys okay? Bex: (UNSENT) Please don't! Ask about that! I don't want to talk about it! Bex: I just bid numbers, you know? Like, how would the catalyst know I had that money or not, you know?
