[ There're brief tapping sounds, like someone doing a mic test, and a quiet "is this thing even on?". But then a clear of the throat precedes an ever-awkward: ] Uh... hello. This is Marty. Um...

So I talked. Talked? Shared my brain with? The giant snake guy. Kharil-asuk. Kinda funny, I could never remember his name, but then we had that whole mental connection and now it's all I can think about the past couple of hours. Is that normal?

...anyway.

He wants to get married.

[ A long pause. ]

Uh. He gave me a huge bowl of his... juice... in exchange for me just kinda. Kinda asking around for. If anyone wants to marry him. So now I'm asking you guys if you'd know anyone who'd marry him. For what it's worth, he blesses you with luck and a long life and all that? It sounded like a pretty great deal! Heh.

What's so great about marriage that a magic snake wants it too? Crazy!

No.

[ To everything. ]

[pepsifree]

Noted.

...uh, "no" to what, though?

[matermali]

No, it isn't normal.

[ Unless you're her. Or...here. At least her disgust at the reminders of her past can't be heard in text. ]

You expect someone to agree to wedding it? So willing to sacrifice one of our own, are you?

[pepsifree]

"Sacrifice"!? [ That's a... rough way to put it. And also a way he hadn't really considered. ]

No! It was more a-- "I got this friend, do you know anyone who might like him" kind of... thing...?

He didn't sound like he'd kill me if I failed... [ But... ]

[matermali]

What, precisely, were you thinking that a marriage to a demon god entailed?

There is always a sacrifice. If not their life, if not their soul, then something else.
