What is happening right now?Were they performing some kind of weird exit interview?
“Honestly, yes,” said Dr. Lyons. “I was under the impression that she and Tanner were an item.”
“So you were pretty shocked when she chose to kill him, then?”
“Absolutely. But I was more surprised by who she chose to kiss.”
Why was Dr. Lyons so surprised? Washesecretly racist? Wait, no. It was probably because he’d believed the rumors that I was.
“Speaking of that kiss…” said Diablo. “There is one more item of business before we finish up. The game is Fuck, Marry, Kill.” He turned to me. “And you did none of the three. Now, I’mreasonable, so I wouldn’t ask you to do all of them…but I think we should aim for at least one out of three. And since you obviously can’t murder anyone...that leaves two options.”
Say what now?
“Option A: You can get married right here. Angel is actually an ordained minister, so it will all be legit.
I’m sorry. I repeat. SAY WHAT NOW?
“Or Option B: You can fuck.”
Oh shit.
“I’m happy to explore marriage in the future,” said Dr. Lyons. “But I think for now...option B.”
I should have known they wouldn’t let me get away with just a kiss.
Diablo lifted his hand for a high five. “My man. Good choice.”
“Ash?” asked Angel.
Well, it was kind of him to ask, I guess. “Ummm…yeah, option B.” This was awkward AF. But I had to fuck people to free Tanner. And Dr. Lyons seemed like a good option. “But can we please stop filming?”
Diablo looked confused. “You sure? I bet this would win an Onyxie.”
“I’m sure.”
Diablo seemed so disappointed. “Fine.”
I turned back toward Dr. Lyons.Well, here goes nothing.I closed my eyes and pictured Tanner being in front of me. And then I leaned forward and kissed him. He grabbed the back of my head to deepen the kiss. It was baby making time!
“Wait, wait, wait,” said Diablo.
I pulled back and opened my eyes.
“If we’re not gonna film this, then I think we need more interviews to really build the tension.”
Um...okay.
“Good idea,” said Angel. “Dr. Lyons, please come with me.”
Dr. Lyons let go of the back of my head. He went through a door with Tyrese and the prisoner holding the boom mic.
Diablo smiled at me.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked.
“I just thought it was sweet of you to give him a kiss before the fun begins.”
“I mean...that’s usually how these things start.” Had Diablo never been kissed?
