[Rainy Day Date with Bae~]

Jun: Hey...I’m sorry about the other night....just leaving and all that.

Loki: Hey, it’s fine. Things come up, I understand. You’re lookin’ a little pale though... Well, paler than usual. You feeling okay?

Jun: ���Paler than usual”, huh? Jerk, haha! I’m fine! Just a little tired, I guess.

Loki: Oh yeah? I got just the fix for that. A good energy shot.

Jun: What’s tha-

Jun: WHOA-UFF!

Loki: *SMOOOOOOCH*

Jun: You really are something, you know that?

Loki: Back at cha, cutie.

Loki: Oh hey look, rain! 

Jun: You don’t say? Hehe.

Loki: Got something I’ve always wanted to do in the rain...

Jun: Loki, if you take your pants off, I swear I’ll leave-

*****

In an effort to enjoy their date come what may, Loki and Jun decide to take a walk around the park and come across a most interesting building....

Jun: So that bit about leaving if you took your pants off wasn’t entirely true...

Loki: Ooooh, are you suggesting what I think you’re suggesting?

Jun: We have to get out of the rain, Loki! Oh look! That observatory looks dry and spacious!

Loki: So do you. Lemme fix that.

Jun: Oh~.

Loki: AAAAAAAH Smell that after the rain smell! Not better than what we’ve left in that observatory but you can’t have it all everywhere.

Jun: I think the person who next enters will disagree.

Loki: Ah well. Their loss on joy. Wanna grab a bite, now? I dunno about you but I’m dying to eat actual food.

Jun: Oh my GAWD.... But yes. Let’s go get food. I’m hungry, too.

Loki: Off we go, then~

[Confiding in Baby Bro]

As evening fell, Corrin felt it was time to tell Loki about what had happened with Bjorn. He’d had enough time to process it all and could finally think about it without wanting to punch a wall. Loki was hard at work in his A/V room working on a project but Corrin had to do this now before he lost his nerve.

Corrin: Hey, Loks. Got a minute. I uh...Clara and I... Well. Turns out she’s married. Her husband came by the restaurant the other day. Told me everything.

Loki: Oh shit man. Why would she date you if her husband wasn’t in the know?

Loki: Nevermind, that ain’t important. You know what you gotta do, don’t you?

Corrin: Of course I do! I gotta end it! She doesn’t even know I know! I even got a text this morning about how she misses me and it just...

Corrin: UGH! How could’ve I have been so STUPID?! The signs were there, Loki! I’m so fuckin’ pissed at myself.

Loki: Hey, nix that tantrum, hermano. No need for that waste of energy. Do what you gotta do, and make it quick and clean. Her husband told you everything, right? He knows, so you don’t even need to explain anything. She just needs to know that you’re not about the shit she’s pulled and send her packin.

Corrin: You’re right. Thanks Loks. I knew I could count on you to keep me grounded.

Loki: Ain’t no thang but a chicken wang, Rin.

Corrin: Will you ever stop quoting that?

Loki: Nope.

The boys went down to the kitchen to indulge in some leftovers, As they chatted about this and that, Tsuki trotted up to Corrin and wound her way around his legs, meowing and purring lovingly.

Loki: Awh, man, see? The cat still loves you! Maybe take her on a date instead!

Corrin: Loki....please. Save it for later.

Loki: Will do.

[koi-sims]

[Morning Run]

Loki decided to take Corrin out for an early morning run to whip him into shape. His brother had started to pack on the pounds due to all the taste testing of the restaurant menu items and that just wouldn’t do.

Loki: Can’t have you turning into a fluff muffin, now can we? It’s always kinda too funny to me to see fat restaurant managers.

Corrin: Hi, is this the personality augments call-in order system? I’d like to buy an extra large box of tact for my brother.

[koi-sims]

[Family Celebration]

Despite the downer things happening in his life, Corrin refused to allow it to get in the way of his good news. He invited his parents over to celebrate the official opening day of his restaurant, which would be around the same time as Loki’s club opening in the Spring. Naturally, his mother was over the moon.

Miranda: Oh my baby boy, I’m so proud of you! I’m happy to see all those hours I forced on you to help me cook meant something!

Corrin: They always meant something mama. Everything I learned, I learned from you.

Meanwhile, Loki was taking selfies with his dad, who was the first to take to Loki’s style.

(Miranda: Honey, you look ridiculous.)

Loki & Alvin: Aangeeeee!

*******

Miranda: Fidel, I don’t know how you’ve managed to be such an influence on your father at his age. He used to dress so nicely... At least Corrin still has style.

Loki: Damn ma, that shade.

Alvin: I still dress nicely...

Corrin: ....~

The family spent the evening talking, laughing, and trying to avert Alvin’s apparent midlife crisis....

???: You’re here. I expected your to defy me, Jun.

Jun: As if I wanted a repeat of the last time.

???: Where were you? With him?

Jun: What do you think?

???: Hmp.

???: It’s cute, how you think this one will last.

???: You know I am the only constant in your life. Such as it has been for longer than you wish to admit.

Jun:...I hate you.

???: Then leave.

Jun: ...

???: You won’t? Is it perhaps because you know you cannot survive without me?

Jun: Shut up...

???: Heh...are you as forceful with him?

Jun: G-get off me...

???: No. The hunt was unsuccessful tonight...

???: And I need to feed.

[Karaoke Date Night]

Loki and Jun were already waiting at Planet Honey Pop when Megan arrived, She found them in their booth chattering away. Not wanting to interupt (and currently trying to diffuse a text argument with Daz) she settled into her seat and kept quiet for a time,

Loki: You’re gonna sing, right?

Jun: Haha, maybe,  if you’ll lower your vocie this time and let me.

Loki: Hey, I can’t help that I have a healthy baritone! I just get up there and all the memories of mama’s fiestas come rolling back in!

Jun: Is that what it is, huh?

Loki: That’s EXACTLY what it is, babyface!

Loki: Oi, Megan! Why’re you over there all to yourself? Jun does’t have cooties, I already took him to Doc Iliya for treatment! He’s clean!

Jun: If I got anything I got it from YOU, doofus!

Megan: Ahaha! Sorry guys, just trying to calm Daz down. He’s being a prick right now.

Loki: For a guy who says he’s poly, he sure gives you a hard time.

Jun: No kidding...

Loki: How’s about we sing some songs to clear your mind?

Loki and Megan got up and belted out a duet together, and Megan had to admit that she felt much better being around him and Jun. How Daz couldn’t see how great they were was a mystery and even though he had known the kind of relationship Megan was looking for when they started dating, she couldn’t shake the suspicion that he was indeed jealous. It didn’t make any sense, but tonight she decided to just let it waft around on the edges of her concern and enjoy her night out with two great friends...

Jun watched happily as Loki and Megan went for their second song. While he certainly wasn’t into women in the same capacity as Loki, he could appreciate how pretty and fun Megan was and definitely didn’t mind having her along in his and Loki’s life. They were a good fit, Loki and Megan, and Jun liked that. He never, ever wanted Loki to be lonely...

****

Loki: Well you’re looking in much better spirits.

Megan: Haha, I am! Thanks for this, Loki.

Loki: Anytime! You just say the word and I’m happy to get you out of the house and into a chill zone like this.

Megan watched Loki saunter back over to Jun and offer him his hand.

(Loki: Okay princess, your turn!)

(Jun: What?! You think I could follow that? You’re crazy.)

(Loki: Come on, my little honey bee, your voice is like Heaven, let’s do a duet! I promise to not pick “Rap Rock Charlies “Baby’s Got a Backside, And I Like It.)

(Jun: I swear to god if you make me sing that again I’ll kick you in the shin.)

*******

After several sets of duets and solos, the group’s time was up and they decided to hit the bar for a few drinks before calling it a night. However, Jun got a phone call a little ways into their second round.

Jun: Sorry Loki, I have to go...

Loki: Awh, that blows. I was hoping you’d come by tonight. Simflix and chill and all that.

Jun: I’m sorry, Maybe later this week?

Loki: I’ll hold you to that, bab.

Jun kissed Loki goodbye and headed out somewhat reluctantly. This left Loki and Megan alone to finish off the night.

Loki: So....what about it? Simflix and chill?

Megan: You’re so stupid, hahaha. You know I can’t leave Daz alone tonight. He’ll go crazy.

Loki: Seems like he’s already halfway there. Does he not know the actual meaning of being poly?

Megan: Sometimes I wonder.

Loki: Just lemme knock some sense into him. If he ain’t, he ain’t, but he needs to say so.

Megan: I agree...

Loki: Want me to fight him? Hehehe,

Megan: Hahaha! Not really...

Loki: Okay but if you change your mind...

Megan: Yup, you’ll be the first to know.

Loki: That’s what’s up.

[koi-sims]

[One Night...]

Megan Fyres had long since moved away from the quiet family home in Windenburg to the hustle and bustle of the city. She lived quite happily with her boyfriend Daz, until one night...

Megan: So, Daz... You know Loki, right? Well, he invited me out to karaoke tonight!

Daz: ...You use the word “know” generously.

Megan: Huh? You do know him. You’ve met several times.

Daz: Huh. Well, karaoke, fine. Does this invite extend to me as well?

Megan: Of course it does. Loki specifically invited you but he gets the feeling you’re not too keen on him, so... And anyway, it’s not just us. Jun’ll be there, too.

Daz: Like that makes it any better. Loki AND his boyfriend. Yeah. Totally innocent. And honestly? I don’t like Loki. He’s a celebrity. He’s only after one thing, you know that.

Megan: ....Seriously, Daz?

Daz: Hey, don’t make that face at me, Megan, I know what I’m talking about!

Megan: Loki isn’t like that, Daz! And you’re actually sounding like your jealous right now.

Daz: Bullshit! Every musical celebrity thinks they can get ass from anyone by smooth-talking and doing whatever petty gesture they think might work, and he’s no exception! I’m not jealous, I’m looking out for YOUR feelings!

Megan: UGH, Daz, for REAL?!

Daz: STOP doing that!

Megan: You’re a model for christ’s sake, like you act any differently to get what you want from people! Loki ISN’T like that! He’s a good guy, funny and down-to-Earth! 

Daz: DON’T compare me to him! I do what I do because it’s business! He’s just trying to get in your pants!

Megan: Don’t say that! You don’t know him like I do!

Daz: Look, you’re your own person so I can’t stop you from shit but I don’t like Loki, and I’m not into this. I think it’s stupid you can’t see what he’s up to.

Megan: I seriously don’t’ know why I bothered even telling you anything. I should’ve figured you’d act like this.

Daz: Me either for real and yeah, you should’ve.

Megan: Whatever. I’m going to get changed. 

Megan: Don’t wait up.

Daz: Tsk. Enjoy the ride.

Megan: ...

[The Truth Comes Out]

The day had finally come for Corrin to go see the restaurant he’d gotten up to his elbows in debt for. It was a nice space, and he was sitting on the couch in the foyer dreaming big dreams for the future when he felt someone sit, rather heavily, down next to him.

Corrin: ....Hello. Can I help you?

???: ...You’re Corrin, aren’t you?

Corrin: Yes? What is this about?

The man tilted his head, his sharp blue eyes finally meeting Corrin’s.

???: My name is Bjorn Bjergsen.

Corrin: ...

Bjorn: Sound familar?

Corrin: ...Not really, no... 

However, suddenly, it did sound familiar.

Corrin: Bjersgsen? Are you a relative of Clara’s? Has something happened?

Bjorn: I would say so. I’m her husband.

Needless to say, Corrin was in shock. Clara...was married? From what he knew of her life, she was a single mother struggling to make ends meet. But as he sat there in shock, it all made sense. No longer having club meetings at her home, the rare times he could see her otherwise, and her reluctance to take a bigger role in his life. All he could do was sit there and star in disbelief at the hands that had so tendering caressed every part of her body when they finally got chances to lay together...he felt so...disgusting. So dirty. Foul.

Corrin: I...I didn’t know... I...I thought you were...not a part of her life anymore.

Bjorn: I see... Well. From the trembling in your hands I can tell you are telling the truth. Just the same, I did come here to tell you to stay away from her. Whatever you two had is over. Clara is out of town on business for the moment but should she come to you before me when she returns...you turn her away. I’ll only tell you once.

Corrin: ...

Without another word, Bjorn stood and stomped away, and Corrin was unsure of why he seemed so angry now. Had he not spoken to Clara at all yet? How did he even find out? Not that it mattered. Corrin took a deep breath and stared straight ahead at nothing in particular.

Corrin: That...explains a lot.

Taking more time out to reblog very important things.

In fanfiction there is a difference between being a good writer and a popular writer. 

Just because you can write a well-structured story with dynamic and consistent writing and characters doesn’t mean you will be popular. And sometimes stories that have disorganized plots, mediocre writing, and/or OOC characters will be held up as the greatest things to ever exist. 

Just because your writing isn’t popular doesn’t mean you are a bad writer. Don’t ever compromise who you are, who your characters are, your plot, your writing style, anything for the sake of readership.

There are popular writers everywhere. But there are only so many good writers.

[koi-sims]

I’d also like to add a little something here.

- remember to write for yourself, first and foremost. Having people who follow you and love what you do is an amazing feeling, without a doubt. However, don’t allow yourself to aim to please your fans first. Writing, especially in a hobbyist way should be relaxing and fun - it shouldn’t feel like a chore, a duty, or a obligation to “stay relevant”. Don’t take the joy of storytelling away from yourself by worrying if you’re upsetting people by writing too little - if your fans are truly your fans, they will understand when you just need some you time.

I uh, guess that’s not really a reason to KEEP writing, but I felt compelled to add that because not too long ago I was a part of a community that was full of creative writers. It was a small group, all things considered, but soon began to grow bigger. However, at one point I felt like I had to pound out creations and writings almost daily just to stay a  part of the group, or I would be replaced. It ended up stressing me to no end and I realized that I was being a total idiot. The people who enjoyed my creations weren’t to blame, I was. Through no fault of theirs, I had started to value their thoughts and opinions of my writing over my own enjoyment and that was all due to vanity. It was awful. I hated it and I hated myself for being so ridiculous and utterly mental (like seriously. I was SO pissed off with myself for being that damn crazy).

That was MY problem, personally, and I knew I had to change it. I was poisoning myself with my own toxicity. I took a hiatus from the community and began to focus on writing for me, and only shared it with one other good friend whose always stood by my side, good and bad (you’re probably reading this right now, ily bby!) and came out much better for it. That said, I see Simblrs here who have AMAZING fans and get a lot of love and encouragement  from those who follow their stories. Do I feel a bit of benign envy sometimes? Well yeah, as a creative writer I want people to care about what I’m putting out there. Do I let it bother me? Not this time! Those days are over - take THAT, psycho part of my mind!. I am writing for me now, and as long as I care, that’s what matters! Having good people who are genuinely interested along for the ride sweetens the deal but at the end of the day, I have to look back at what I’ve written and feel joy. If I have that, I have all I need.

So uh....sorry for the rantish rave thing. Please don’t reblog this nonsense, haha. I just want all you creative writers out there (who are doing this for fun) to remember what really counts: your joy and your passion. It’s all about you, my friend. Keep it that way. :)

Reasons to Keep Writing

•everyone starts small. just because you’re not big now, doesn’t mean you’ll never be. and if you’re just starting out, keep in mind those bigger blogs have been writing for much longer than you. building a following takes time. 

•there will always be someone who enjoys your writing. every like, reblog, and comment is one person who enjoyed what you wrote and i can assure you they want more! and remember, not everyone remembers to leave evidence that they liked your writing or they might just be too nervous to interact with you. invisible fans exist, and you’ve got them.

•going along with that last one, your writing has the potential to help others! you could write about a minority, or maybe you could publish a little something comforting at the exact time someone else needs it. and most of the time, when you affect someone like this they’ll tell you, whether it be through tags, or a private message or whatever. that’s an amazing feeling.

•getting a compliment from someone becomes a sure-fire way to make your day better. nothing feels greater than seeing a comment from someone saying how much they love something you worked hard on. maybe write down these comments somewhere, so you can look at them when you’re feeling negative about your skills as a writer.  

•writer’s block is not the end of your writing career. it sure feels like it sometimes, but everyone, even the popular writers you look up to, suffer from writer’s block. everyone puts out work they’re not 100% satisfied with sometimes, and that’s okay! when you get out of this slump, your writing will be better than ever before and you’ll enjoy it again. keep writing through a block so you can get there sooner.

These are the things I think about when I feel bad about my writing, so I hope they can help someone else too.

Do Sim Evil Better.

I’d been knockin’ this idea around for a long time, and after collecting (or making, in the case of the CAS background) all the right cc, I decided to do something fun and unrelated to my stories and make the most handsome, most ingenious, and most evil man to ever exist in a narrative, Corin Deeth III (who actually named the Corin in my current storyline - Corin with two “r”. #bigFan).

Reader, you may or may not be familiar with the story of Kakos Industries and if you aren’t you truly are missing out. It is the best podcast I’ve listened to since The NoSleep Podcast, and to be honest...I think it actually one-ups my beloved NoSleep. It is a very fun and witty podcast with some great humor, greater hijinks, and can I just mention how alluring Corin’s voice is? Just sayin’. The storyline is awesome, too...so many great characters. I want to make Jr. and Malantha next~ I’ll leave some links at the bottom of the post for those who may be interested. Anyway, without further ado, let’s meet the man of the hour, shall we?

~*~*~*~*~*~

Well hello, Corin~.... Now, I may have missed the mark, but I always envisioned Corin having short, trendy hair that still embodied professionalism and and air of slight douchery. I have seen a lot of fanart where Corin has long hair and perhaps that is canonically true. If so, I apologize Corin, please do not send me a pair of exploding sneakers. I may have missed his eye color too, but I went with a very piercing blue-green because that’s just my personal taste and light eyes with dark hair is so badass.

Corin’s traits came pretty natural - evil, confident, and I picked hot-headed because it would best help his in-game aspiration (Criminal Mastermind) moreso than him being hot-headed in the canon. He is actually always as cool as a cucumber. I admire that.

And a little in-game blurb for him because why not? Am a ridiculously enamored fangirl? Maybe. (I spelled his name wrong up top, but I fixed it AFTER I took that and the next cap - whoops)

And just for fun, this personality notice about Corin popped up when I went in to do his photoshoot. I just love it and the look on Corin’s face at the time - Ah, the taste of accuracy.

Now, on to the main event. I’ve always wondered what Corin’s sense of fashion was like, and now having listened to 99% of the podcast (it was so fun to catch up, I’m pretty much stalling on finishing what’s out now because waiting for the next is gonna hurt so bad) I’ve gotten too curious and decided to raid his wardrobe. What’s in there, I wonder??? Let’s find out.

Everyday Wear

Oh of COURSE Corin looks dark and dapper in a suit for everyday. Look at that little splash of color! I bet you used the blood of insubordinate employees to make that tie custom, didn’t you? Magnificent. What else do you slip into on the daily? Maybe when you’re home relaxi-

Oh. Um. Well...You do wear a cowboy hat very well, Corin! I mean...they match the boots and everything! I...I’m sure there are a lot of experimental abominations to wrangle around the office so why not dress the part? Not gonna lie, that shirt looks breezy and comfortable as hell. Maybe take a trip to the mountains with King Leopold sometime? (I...I know what happened in the story, and I refuse to let it go. #OTP.)

Formal Wear

Ah. The natural snazz comes out around the time of the Shareholder’s Ball and the CEO Festival, doesn’t it? You didn’t strike me as the bowtie type of evil CEO but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t look amazing on you. I see you’ve forgone your gloves for formal wear. Hard to eat the deviled eggs and tiny cheeses in those, non?

...This must be the suit you wear to the CEO Festival. That’s really the only explanation as to why it always turns out to be...what it usually becomes. I am going to assume that this suit belonged to Mr. Corin Deeth I and you wear it in his honor. I sure he is looking down on you, pleased but also wondering why you haven’t indulged in what is (still) in the right-side inner pocket.

Athletic Wear

You cannot be a successful CEO of an evil megacorp if you let yourself go. Hence why you slip into nothing but basketball shorts for a long, strenuous...sweaty...satisfying...workout. Between culling unnecessary employees and flawlessly delivering the shareholder announcements, you’re deadlifting 400lbs and making 1st in marathons, aren’t you? Of course you are.

And then there’s jazzercise. Cardio IS important and I mean...just running can be a bit tedious, yeah? You’re so well-rounded, Corin, golly. Honestly, I’m not at all mad at your fashion choice for this one. You don’t have to hide it, we are all friends here. The 80′s were a great time and I am happy you’re keeping the impeccable athletics fashion alive.

Sleepwear

Even mega evil mega CEOs need rest from time to time and nothing beats resting out topless and in trackpants. I see you are wearing ADIDAS, the most evil of brands. Not much else I can say. I am too busy admiring what jazzercise has done for you.

Uh oh. It must be one of those days. Malantha has flustered you again, Dirk is texting for more life advice, and Jr. is sending way too many...um...”special photos” to prove his is thinking hard on how to best contribute to the company. Good thing Brosephus is totally awake at 2am and ready to video chat about all of this. It’s SOOOO LAAAAAAME, right?!

Party Wear

Rollin’ up to the New Year’s Festival feels good, especially when you look this mighty fine. Nothing like finally getting past Yule and Anti-Celebrating by finally cutting loose again and making those ultra evil resolutions. Again with the gloves, I see. Well, I guess better safe than sorry. There’s no tell who’ll feel your wrath after four Blue Motorcycles.

Hm. This is quite the uh...departure, Corin. I mean, nothing ever looks bad on you but where on Earth would you even wear this to? Where would it even work??? ...Oh, right! The Festival of Adorableness! Awkward or not, you’ve made it work. I’m willing to bet the Division of Subversive Cute helped out with this ensemble. Kudos to them! I’m sure burning it afterwards was incredibly satisfying for you.

Swimwear

Why are you looking so bedeviled, Corin? How, when you look that prepared for a pool party, can you possibly be in such a foul mood? Oh...oh wait. Malantha has hidden your sunblock, hasn’t she? Goshdarnit! How can you possibly be evil without being as pale as your skin tone will allow?! That Malantha...she truly is evil, isn’t she?

Welp. I guess if you’re going to get a tan, might as well hit every spot you can. Suck on that, Malantha! (....) Also, breaking out the zebra print speedo wasn’t the worst idea you’ve ever had, and I both applaud, and ready my binoculars for, you choice of white swimwear. No booty shot? Ugh. Fair enough...gotta leave something to the imagination, I guess. #disappointmentOverdose

Warm Weather Wear

This is the look of a man about to take off on his mega evil yacht and never look back. That shirt, unbuttoned down to where it is suggestive but not desperate, those shorts, defining the thighs while still looking professional, those boat shoes that scream class and bless you for not wearing socks with them. There is a thin line between evil and insane and you ride it perfectly.

Apparently, even evil knows it wouldn’t be summer without an obnoxiously bright Hawaiian shirt. Ain’t even mad. Oooh, and white pinstripe pants....why yes, dear, they do make you look taller and thinner! I can almost hear you now, as you swagger out the front doors, “I’m off to the Maldives, screw y’all! Also, if a single brick is out of place when I get back, I’ll kill you.” You tell ‘em, Corin.

Cold Weather Wear

Brrrrrr. Generally, evil is always cold, dark, and hateful but sometimes even the weather puts up a good fight. Stylish as ever, you have broken out a very elegant scarf and jacket, expertly layered as to properly insulate all of the darkness within. No hat, though? Of course not. Evil does not get that chilly.

Corin: “What you mean I didn’t win the Ugly Sweater Contest?!”

RUN.

~*~*~*~*~

And that concludes are journey through Corin’s wardrobe! This really was a lot of fun to do, and I’d be ever so pleased if the fine people who bring the @kakosindustries universe alive enjoy it too! I’ve also redecorated Corin’s in-game home (the Alto Apartment’s unit that was formally Lobo’s #sorrynotsorry) and I would like to share that one day too, if I get around to doing the photo tour. I will share some links below to a few relevant sites for anyone whose interested in Corin and the Kakos Industries story. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Cheers!

[The Big Move!]

With so many BIG THINGS happening in the boys life with their fame, they felt it was time to stop renting and invest in a home of their own! They moved only a few blocks away into the swankier area of Oasis Springs, into a lease home. If they end up liking it, they are free to buy it at will! It’s nice to finally have two floors, and most importantly, separate bathrooms. Corrin is jumping for so much joy. In time, this house could be a home. Good going, boys. Good going,

------

Author’s Note: The exterior is fugly, I know. I actually built this and I am 100% not a builder. My exteriors always look like crap (how to roof?) but at least I got the interior scaling right for this one (my decorating is also meh but I hope it’s not too hard on the eyes). I wouldn’t dare show the first house I built; not only was it a box, the interior had enough square footage to be a shopping mall. -_-

[One Day...]

Corrin invites Goro over to enjoy the campfire and have a nice chat. The two had become fast friends, and share plenty of good tales with each other...

Corrin: So what’s it like being married to Trevor?

Goro: Hm. It’s comfortable. We’ve come a long way, and it was all worth it.

Corrin: That’s good to hear.

Goro: He’s a good guy, though you wouldn’t think so. Tolerating him isn’t so bad. He’s nasty as hell in the best ways, and he has his moments were he’s...lovable, I guess.

Corrin: Sounds ideal.

Goro: That isn’t to say the kid can’t be a pain in the ass. He’s loud, obnoxious, messes up all the clean dishes, and won’t flush the toilet to save his life. And he keeps hitting on the maids. Can’t tell if he’s serious or not. I ain’t against it but...he sure can pick ‘em.

Corrin: That...all sounds terrifyingly familiar.

Goro: Huh? You married?

Corrin: Well...from what you described, yes. I might as well be.
