The household arrives together at the town’s pedestrian plaza. Andy holds Carla’s slack decorative leash, while Lilly, Hannah, and Sarah carry their chosen soft collars, each visibly easy to remove.
Lilly
Welcome to our grand parade! Rule one: every collar is optional. Rule two: every leash is for comedy, never control.
Carla
And rule three: I am the noble wolf of the western woods, guided through civilization by my extraordinarily patient friend.
A few pedestrians slow beside the plaza fountain. Hannah slips on her collar with theatrical dignity, while Sarah adjusts hers loosely and gives the nearest onlookers a shy wave.
Hannah
Make way for a celebrated actress on tour! Applause is encouraged, but absolutely no demanding encores before lunch.
Sarah
I am the lake princess, and my leash is purely decorative. If I want to stop for a pastry, the entire parade stops.
Laughter rises from the group, but more curious faces gather near the fountain. Lilly squeezes Andy’s hand and glances at him, amused and slightly bashful, as the plaza waits for his next move.

That's right, folks! Come and pet the beastfolk. See the three snuggly catgirls purr in your arms and the gorgeous wolfgirl snuggle up like an angel.

Come gently, everyone. My husband has invited you, and we are happy to share some friendly affection today.
Hannah
That is right! Soft pats are welcome, and if you make me purr, I expect applause for my performance.
Sarah
A little closer, please. I am shy, but hugs are lovely when you ask first.
Carla
And this wolf welcomes a careful embrace. Andy promised an angelic snuggle, so I must uphold the parade's reputation.
Laughter and soft purring mingle beside the fountain. Lilly stays close to Andy, holding his hand as Hannah, Sarah, and Carla receive the plaza's affectionate attention by choice.

“I pet and snuggle my wife Lilly for myself. "You deserve all the love in the world."”
SUCCESS (Great Charm, rolled +0)
Andy turns from the welcoming crowd and gathers Lilly close, stroking her pale blonde hair and gently snuggling his wife against him beside the fountain.
Andy
You deserve all the love in the world.
Lilly
Oh, husband. Hearing that from you makes the whole plaza disappear. I feel so cherished right here in your arms.
Lilly melts against Andy’s chest, her ears relaxing as she rests one hand over his. The nearby pedestrians smile, giving the married couple a quiet pocket of tenderness.
Lilly
He chooses me even in the middle of all this attention. I can feel safe, loved, and proudly his wife.
Hannah
That is unbearably sweet. Everyone, please applaud the husband who knows exactly how to make his wife glow.
Carla
A perfect parade moment. Lilly gets the love she deserves, and the rest of us get to witness something wonderfully tender.
“A bunch of young boys come up and hug the girls, wanting to one day get married to beastfolk.”
SUCCESS (Legendary Willpower, rolled -2)
A cluster of young boys rushes from the fountain, bright-eyed and breathless, gathering around Lilly, Hannah, Sarah, and Carla with their parents watching nearby.
the boys
Can we hug you? We want to marry beastfolk someday! You all look so happy together!
After the girls welcome them, the boys wrap their arms around each woman in turn. Their excited cheering rises loudly across the plaza, drawing amused smiles from nearby pedestrians.
Lilly
Of course, sweetheart. Gentle hugs are welcome, and I hope you grow up knowing marriage should be kind, safe, and loving.
Hannah
Then practice being thoughtful now. A future beastfolk wife will deserve respect, laughter, and excellent breakfast dates.
Carla
And remember, nobody belongs to anyone as a possession. You choose each other every day, just as we choose this joyful family.
Sarah
Thank you for admiring us so warmly. Your hugs made the parade wonderfully noisy, and I hope your dreams become gentle, happy lives.
“We see several more catgirls and wolf girls approach the plaza asking the local humans if they want a girlfriend.”
Several young-adult catfolk women and wolf beastfolk women approach from the plaza shops, smiling brightly. Their colorful skirts, jackets, ears, and tails sway as they gather near the fountain.
the visiting beastfolk
Hello, local humans! Are any of you looking for a girlfriend? We are friendly, affectionate, and very interested in meeting someone kind.
The nearby humans, a mixed group of young and middle-aged men and women in casual shirts, jackets, and jeans, with varied builds, hairstyles, and faces exchange startled glances, then laugh warmly. A few step forward to introduce themselves while the visiting women make room, keeping the cheerful parade open and welcoming.
Lilly
Welcome to our parade. Be gentle with one another, ask before touching, and remember that affection works best when everyone chooses it freely.
Hannah
This is perfect timing for a public romance fair! Everyone deserves a charming introduction, and I volunteer to provide dramatic matchmaking commentary.
Carla
There is plenty of room for new friendships here. Speak honestly, listen carefully, and perhaps someone will leave with a very happy heart.
Sarah
The plaza feels so lively now. Andy, look at all these hopeful smiles. It is lovely seeing people meet through kindness instead of fear.

“We help the visiting catgirls find boyfriends to take care of them.”
SUCCESS (Great Charm, rolled +4)
Andy steps into the lively circle and begins matching the visiting catgirls with the nearby men, pairing shared interests, gentle manners, and eager smiles. Lilly, Hannah, Carla, and Sarah help each introduction feel relaxed and chosen.
the visiting beastfolk
This man loves cooking, and that woman enjoys quiet evenings by the lake. May we introduce you? No pressure, only curiosity.
The introductions quickly become genuine conversations. Several men offer attentive questions, while the catgirls describe their hobbies and what caring partnership means to them, finding warm compatibility instead of awkward guesswork.
Lilly
Andy, you are doing wonderfully. You are helping them meet people who want companionship, not merely someone to impress for an afternoon.
the visiting beastfolk
We found them! Three of us already have promising dates, and two more couples are exchanging numbers. Thank you for seeing our hearts so clearly.
An impressed café owner, a middle-aged woman with a sturdy build, warm brown skin, curly dark hair, and a green apron over a cream blouse approaches with a stack of complimentary drink vouchers, offering the new pairs a quiet corner for their first conversations. The bonus gives every introduction room to grow.
Hannah
A romance fair, successful matches, and free refreshments? Andy, you have accidentally become the plaza’s most lovable matchmaker.
