reason 108302834: my 3.5 game makes me insane. My PC Ale and @halfandhalfling's PC Sash are platonic soulmates, in every sense of the word. like full-on find-you-in-any-universe soulmates.
now im not going to get into all of the details because I'd be here all day but the TLDR: is that ale, is looking for some magic relics, and one of them is Sash's heart. OOC, I'm 90% sure she'd be fine if she had her heart removed, BUT ale is never going to take that risk. not if they have a choice.
i know they won't in the end.
Now, Sash does have a S/O, but everyone knows it's going to have to be ale in the end. It always has been and always will be. they are the only two left of the original party. they have been traveling together the longest and have been through the entire plot together. Yes Jessie has been there for *most* of it but not *all* of it. not the prison not traveling through the swamps and finding out the gods were fake, not the fight with the sahuagin, or the dryad.
We, as players, are just waiting for the moment the choice will be made for us because there ain't no way Ale is going to cut out Sash's heart with literally any other choice. and I know it's going to be soooo dramatic and soooo tasty. every session we know its that moment is getting closer but not when, and the tension is becoming so palpable
