don't read this if you're not caught up
They've just fought off the first wave of undead mooks when it occurs to Corra that... they might actually not make it out of this alive. She's constantly doing headcounts, making sure no one's down entirely (she's already had to drag Tseer back to his feet once) and she's running dangerously low on spell slots. They're not going to be able to handle much more of this.
Otto's at her back, the natural red of their hair bleeding through at the roots; it always makes her doubletake, afraid they have a head wound, before she remembers. If she's gonna die, she's glad she's dying with them at her side in the middle of trying valiantly to save the world. All that said... she's been trying to use her rage that they're not going to get a wedding to push through, to spur her to try and win, but her resolve is breaking down fast. She's going to be so mad if they die unmarried when they almost died before they got engaged but managed to make it out.
They'll make it out of this. They have to.
"Corra," Otto says, as though they can read her mind. There's only another moment for her to look away as the next wave of the undead starts to rise, but she takes the moment to look at them, to drink them in.
And just then, as she meets their eyes, as Nyarlathotep's minions come closer, she decides-- to hell with fate. "Marry me."
"What?" Otto sounds-- stunned. Their fingers twitch on their dagger. "Corra, we already did this part. You know I--,"
"Right now, Otto. Let's get married right now."
"What?!"
The undead are on top of them. Corra joins the dance, separating from Otto for a moment, and she grabs them away from a zombie that's trying to drag them into a pile of corpses dying for a second time and that's the next time she gets to say anything. "What do we have to lose besides our lives? We can do the wedding we planned when we get out of this-- when, not if," she snarls, and throws a curse over Otto's shoulder to something creeping up on them. "But I love you, and I don't want to die without having married you."
"This isn't exactly a romantic time--," Otto says, and wiggles out of her arms to dropkick another zombie in the face.
"I don't care! I made my choice a long time ago, to hell or high water! What about you?"
There's another long moment where they separate, Corra throwing another healing potion to Tessa as she takes a swing at a monster heading for Zero, Otto using one of Wyatt's fire monsters as a springboard for stabbing a zombie in the eye, and when they come back together Otto turns and yells, "Seshmir!"
Corra stares at them in some confusion -- has Otto been secretly seeing Seshmir this whole time, what the fuck, Otto -- and then Otto yells "Marry us?"
"I'm a little busy at the moment!" Seshmir yells, and throws an Eldritch Blast.
"We don't have the rings!" Tessa adds, in a bit of a wail, and kicks a zombie in the face. "Or any of the flowers! And what about your vows?"
"I don't care! Please!" Otto calls, and Corra links her arm with theirs, so they can still fight one handed but she can keep them near.
"Oh, fine." Seshmir grumbles. "But Orron would be better suited to this than me."
and then they get married and no one dies for permanent and they save the world and live happily ever after PLEASE GIVE ME THIS, BRYAN
