Okay, I love these two to death and all their antics, but we probably need to plan some stuff with them.
So... they have their first date coming up. Knowing Ben, he would plan something that he figured Murel would like... I can see him being like "let's go" and then taking her to a paintball place, where he would get his ass kicked of course xD
And Christmas is coming up soon! I feel like, with his parents dead, Ben doesn't really do Christmas anymore, but he would still probably get Murel a present anyway.

oh god she would slaughter him and love it! As for Christmas, the Maledires have a tradition. Since Christmas comes so close after the solstice, they're all usually pretty relaxed and happy. So Christmas Eve they all go out to their favorite karaoke bar, get very drunk and try to embarrass each other by picking ridiculous songs for the others to sing. Presents are opened as a family Christmas morning. This year Maverick has come up with an idea. Edna is being forced to go to a charity gala held by her parents and he wants to crash it and get her out of there. He hasn't invited Ben and Murel yet, but he's going to because Murel will naturally cause more mayhem. Whatcha say?
Also, the closer it gets to the solstice, the more active the imps get, so Murel will be more temperamental than normal (as you're already seeing) and even Max will start getting snippy. Unfortunately for Murel, her birthday is in January so she doesn't have as long of a grace period as the others before her imp wakes up again.

Yeah, I figured as much xD And Ben would have fun even though he was being murdered. As for the gala thing, sounds fun xD Ben would go if Murel asked him too for sure

I'm sure he will later. He's definitely not going to tell her ahead of time what he's planning for the date xD
Besides, he's just trying to figure out what's making her upset so he can fix it at the moment.

haha it's a combination of being called abusive and her demon gaining control more than usual. She's never cared about someone before and for once it actually bothers her that he sees her faults and it pisses her off XD

Umm, Murel kind of... flaunts her faults xD so if he notices, it really isn't his fault

oh she definitely does. Most people call her on it and she doesn't care, but with him she's super insecure and she's not exactly 100% on the ball at the moment.

Yeah, I've noticed xD And poor Ben is just so confused. He's just trying to figure out what's going on and he can't seem to do it

So I had a horrible terrible BAD idea. It's not too viable because it would involve either pausing them for a long time or a major time skip, but I got to wondering, what would happen to them if after Ben finds out the truth, he doesn't forgive her and runs off. This of course led to an idea of five years down the road or so, Ben somehow gets into some big trouble, possibly through his work, and pisses off some bad people, and Murel catches wind of it and tracks him down to protect him, but it would be a very different, much darker and shut down Murel than the one he knew.

My immediate reaction: That sounds awesome!! xD
After thinking: You're right about it not being very viable... I don't want to have them on pause forever waiting for the five years, and I'm sure you don't want to write for Murel in two different times, since she would be needed in the normal plot as well, not just in the future. If it weren't for that though, I would be all over this idea. I can't imagine how he would handle the news once he finds out everything. Just finding out about her imp... he probably wouldn't believe it at first. He would think she was messing with him or something, but I think he could wrap his head around it and handle it. Even the assassin thing, which he would find much more believable. But as for the soulmate thing. If she tells him that her imp had been pushing her towards him, he would probably think their entire relationship from the start hadn't really been real. It was all just her imp, and I can't see him handling that as well as the other stuff because he really does like her and care about her. I could imagine him just acting without thinking and getting out there. Maybe his idea at first was just to leave for awhile and go back eventually, but then he just doesn't because he doesn't know whether she actually likes him or if it's just her imp or whatever's going through his mind xD

yeah. I mean...I kind of want to see this because it seems like a very dark and shut down Murel. She's older and has better control over her imp's impulses, but she's hurting and wants him, despite the fact his rejection pretty much killed her, she'd be a completely different person. Even what we were planning before would shatter her, but if he comes back, she'd put herself back together much differently that if she had to do it on her own. I even see her distancing herself from her brothers because they're so happy with their soulmates.

Yeah, I know what you mean. So I guess the question is... do you want to go through with this plan whenever it comes up despite the major time skip/pausing of our characters it would require? Basically, do you think the plot would be worth the pain in the ass it would be?
