internet, meet [insert title of glam's webseries]

[mxglam]

To Glam's continued delight, more kissing sessions happen on the following days (when they're feeling like a boy). They haven't met her parents as her official boyfriend or girlfriend or whatever yet, and don't mind it too much.

News about Purity's escape surprises exactly no one, but the Protectorate's reputation suffers a blow because of the attack; after all, the heroes were beaten on their home turf. The PHO forums are abuzz, though rumors of Glam's death at the hands of Hookwolf (probably started by same) prove largely unfounded.

And Glam really should get to their webisodes and start building a steadier rep. And that's (one of the reasons) why they're in Lorica's workshop a few days later.

"So what should I do? I haven't posted anything since Purity, should probably make this more of a habit."

"I see," says Bella's mom, raising an eyebrow.

[thinkering]

Bella puts hot dog in her face, blushing a little.

[mrglam]

Sadde blinks. "I think this is probably the first time I've seen you blush. I'm a little bit more in love with you now."

[thinkering]

"Well, I usually have a helmet on!"

[mrglam]

"And what a great loss to humanity those moments are, to be deprived of your radiant beauty."

...he's being maybe a little bit bolder than he ought to. He'll surely realize this once he's reminded Bella's parents are there, too.

[kindestgarden]

"Is he always like this?" wonders Bella's mom.

[thinkering]

"The poetry varies."

[mrglam]

And there's the reminder!

"Um, sorry," he says, and puts some more food in his mouth to make sure words won't decide to escape from it again.

[kindestgarden]

"Is it 'he'? Bella's been using both 'he' and 'they'."

[mrglam]

"Uh, right now it is. But it varies. Sometimes 'she,' and when I'm in costume it's 'they.' Although 'they' all the time works, too."

[kindestgarden]

"All right, I'll try to remember that."

[mrglam]

"When I'm with her it's usually 'he.'"

[kindestgarden]

"That was the impression I got."

[mrglam]

Wow, this food sure is delicious! He should probably continue eating it and stop putting his foot in his mouth.

And he still doesn't know their names.

[thinkering]

Food. Food food.

[mrglam]

And eventually he's done eating, the creeping dread in his soul making him sure he won't be able to swallow dessert.

[thinkering]

But Nanaimo bars are delicious-looking and Bella cuts one for him!

[mrglam]

...well, he'll just have to accept it, then, won't he?

[thinkering]

Yes. Yes he will.

Munch munch.

"Is the rule about having my door closed still within date?" Bella asks her parents.

[sundayfish]

"Yup."

[mrglam]

"The... rule?"

[thinkering]

"If there is a boy in my room the door must remain open."

[mrglam]

"Oh! Oh. Sensible."

...hadn't Transit-or-whatever-his-name-is mentioned Bella and he spent a lot of time together in one of their respective rooms? Why... why would this room be any different?

And it's really great he can't blush because the next thing he thinks is, well, that ship has kinda sailed.

[thinkering]

"Is it really."

[kindestgarden]

"Now, Bella."
