When you descended the stairs to rejoin the party, you were met with a mixture of enthusiastic greetings, lighthearted comments and a few ingenuine eyerolls. Your little display earlier must’ve left quite the impact. You shot finger guns left and right, making an absolute spectacle of yourself for the second time tonight, and judging from your mood, it most likely wouldn’t be the last.
You exchanged greetings and pleasantries with numerous people, but didn't linger for a terribly long time with any of them, as you had a set destination in mind.
Madame Webb turned to face you when you approached the table she’d been sitting at. She was currently by herself, watching over everyone as they mixed and mingled. A warm, pleasant smile had spread across her withered face, and you returned one of your own, hoping that she might somehow be able to sense your mood with her psychic abilities.
<span class="mu-r">“I thought I sensed you waking up earlier."</span> she said, a hint of amusement in her tone. <span class="mu-r">"I take it that you're satisfied with the result of this operation?"</span>
You dropped into the seat across from her and allowed your body to sag with relief. <span class="mu-r">"God, yes! I don't want to see another twist or turn for as long as I live. Or at least until next month."</span>
Cassandra chuckled. <span class="mu-r">"Yes, there certainly were an absurd amount of curveballs to avoid, weren't there?"</span>
You couldn't agree more.
<span class="mu-r">"But I also think that this outcome resulted in quite the impressive union, don't you think?"</span> she added, panning her unseeing gaze across the gathered group of metahumans. <span class="mu-r">"You made this possible. You've got a real talent for networking."</span>
<span class="mu-r">"The key is desperation and lots of begging. I've got a feeling that I'm going to owe a lot of favors after this."</span> you said, wondering just how many of these people would try to cash in on those favors.
<span class="mu-r">"But none of them have done as much for me as you have.”</span>
What will you say?
>”Thanks for everything. I doubt there’s anything I can do to repay you, but I’ll try my best. Just name it.”>”We’ve invaded and defiled your home long enough. I know that it hasn’t exactly been easy on you.”>”At the very least, we’ve made your mansion into a near impenetrable fortress. So you can sleep soundly at night.”>”I’m sorry that I’m not able to live up to what you want me to be. So I’m hoping that Abel’s a decent substitute.”>”This city is lucky to have you. You’ve done more for me in the short time I’ve known you than most people have my entire life.”>Write-in.Pastebins:
