I'd do anything for love... but doing that may not have been the best idea [completed]

Character(s): Vyers, Gwen, Genie, Urd
Content: Date + Contest = Disaster
Setting: Elysian Fields
Time: Week 28, night
Warnings: none!

His arm entwined with Gwen's, Vyers couldn't help but wonder just what he had gotten himself into. He hadn't been expecting so many offers to help over the journals. Really, all he had wanted was a suggestion so he would be able to take her out to dinner. Although now that he thought about it, he really should have known, shouldn't he? He himself had noticed a few similar entries on the network from time to time, hadn't he?

Vyers supposed he should be somewhat grateful for Urd and Genie's offers to help, but instead he felt quite nervous about the whole thing. There was some sense of foreboding deep down that he couldn't shake about this whole thing, as though something--or many things--were about to go horribly wrong. He tried to keep his worries to himself, however, and keep Gwen from noticing.

He needed to be more optimistic, that was all. Everything would go just fine.

He didn't really believe himself.

Challenge accepted. Overwhelmed with a familiar sense of excitement, the genie’s grin widened. This was just the sort of thing he needed to test his skill. If he passed this, he knew he could no doubt sweep Urd herself off her feet too. A retirement party, hmpf! He’d show her. He was a natural romantic. Why, he could be just as romantic as Rhett Butler, Mr. Darcy, and Walt Whitman! …or was Whitman just a writer during the Romantic period in American Literature? Oh, who cared? Point of the matter was that he was more than prepared to show Butler and his possy up. He would kick them to the curb.

Although, where that confidence had gone once a certain goddess was in his face was anyone’s guess. Genie tried casually distance himself from her but found his back met with the instantly with the table. He looked back at Urd, eyes open wide. “Anything.” He agreed slowly, almost cautiously. Urd already knew she was going to win, didn’t she?
