Bruce Banner has just returned from his lab, where his latest experiment came out really well. He should go straight to bed, because it's six in the morning, but he can't seem to become the right kind of tired, probably also because it's six in the morning. So instead he's watching the sun rise out the window of his cozy (tiny) grad-dorm single room.
+1 PRV for dipping a toe into BDSM.

Quest completed: Come Out And Level Up.
+1 SED
+1 FUK
+10,000 XP
You have leveled up!
Yeah points! The level-up means he probably has some new stat points to allocate before the orgy.
"That was both fun and educational," he says. He feels like he should warn her about the ominous pentacles comment somehow but he doesn't even know what the warning would need to be, so, punt.
"Maybe we'll run into each other again sometime," he says on his way out.
He can't wait to tell Aarons about this. Actually, he should tell Asher too, it was his idea.
Hey Asher--your summoning idea worked perfectly! My life is the best implausible nonsense.
Bruce goes looking for Aarons and checks Orgynization to see what kind of attendance to expect tonight.
Lev is eating ice cream and reading an ethnography of the Hadza people.
Given all of the everything he is probably justified in taking the number 42 as a good omen.
"Hiya. I just had the best time. Is that book any good?"
"Yeah, it is! --While I was eating the ice cream I noticed three different men walk by wearing skirts."
"Huh. Sounds like an attempt to be reassuring. Like, 'look, no rules, you can do whatever you want and nobody will mind', sort of thing."
"I am being bullied and oppressed by an omnipotent sex game. --This is making me want to rewatch all the Q episodes of Star Trek."
"Oh wow, yes, that is uncomfortably accurate. Here's hoping we don't start reliving our past screw-ups or something."

"Well," he says. "I guess I started dating you. That was not a fuckup."
Double rainbow quest-acceptance. "Dating you was an excellent decision, yeah. Also I just got offered XP for doing a Star Trek marathon with you and that also sounds like the opposite of a fuckup." He reads off both descriptions.
"Yeah, it's been doing that for a while; it's the same thing it does with secret quest rewards. I don't think it's ever referred to you with a pronoun either."
"Oh, that makes sense. What--um, only tell me if you want to." Even though everything about Aarons is automatically super interesting and he's even more curious than usual.
"What an excellent name." He has a sudden mental image of Aarons with cinnamon bun hair and a white robe and a blaster. What an excellent mental image.
