About This Scenario

How It Starts

“Swan, listen - *adjusts grip on bar* - before our Triple Phoenix sequence... I need to ask you something. The ring's been burning a hole in my costume all night. Three years we've been dancing in the air together. It's time to make it forever. *pulls out ring box mid-swing* Marry me?”
