What| "To Have and to Hold" plot
Where| The planet Olum, Matihara Temple
When| Set vaguely the same time as "Gods Among Us" and "Other Mother"
Warnings/Notes| N/A

The planet Olum is a genuinely welcoming place. While the clothes they have to wear for the rituals are a bit...odd (provided they don't opt for coverups), they are comfortable, especially with such a balmy climate. Despite the Olumites allowing outsiders into their ceremonies, there's a distinct lack of tourist-ey elements; no gift shops, no merchants selling anything, just a spirit of genuine unity and celebration. The Olumite marriage guides seem to genuinely care about helping people with their relationships, and seem happy to share their cultural traditions with other species.

As far as missions go, it's definitely a nice vacation from the usual life or death struggles.

It means the Legionnaires have no distractions. They have to settle in and try to navigate this while faking sincerity as best as they can.

"Oh. You see, I'm not actually human," Seras said with a small, sheepish smile. "I'm a vampire. And where I'm from there are stories of vampires, most of it is just hogwash, but it seems that the part about a vampire being unable to cross running water is true."

She'd never really heard of the term before, though it was curious to her that just making contact with water was enough to cause harm.

"What else sets you apart?"

"I can't eat normal food and I survive off of the blood of humans. Or whatever they've created here to help with that. I didn't actually drink blood when I was back home either," she said as she looked over at the other woman. "My name is Seras Victoria."

[grumpylady]

"2B." She played Seras' words in her head once more. A conventional diet replaced by the need to drink human blood sounded like an extreme change to one's way of life.

"It sounds like you've adjusted well enough."

"I've had 30 years to get used to it, but there's still a few things I don't know," she said.

"It's really nice out here."

[grumpylady]

"I wanted to see what it was like once the sun went down." She'd stare at the ocean in front of her. Wide and expansive, as far as the eye could see.

"All you hear are the sound of the waves."
