Defying both the expectations and listed odds of Midtown bookies, local Metal Worker-4/Switchblade Enthusiast-7 Dana Hood gave a resounding and enthusiastic "Why not?" in response to unnecessarily-multiclassed Scientist-3/Combat Medic-6/Drummer-5 T.J. Elliott's proposition of Holy Matrimony in exchange for a Strawberry Ring-Pop. 30 minutes later when he'd forgotten, and asked the same question again- this time using the Cherry version*, Dana gave the same loving smile and responded with a breathy and seductive "What's the worst that could happen?" (*When later asked Thomas reported carrying a spare "In case the first one was lost. Or eaten. Likely by myself." -ed) "I know what people are saying." commented Hood, 29. "It's not smart to marry someone different like T.J. And yes, I know, y'all don't have to keep pointing out that he plays in multiple bands- he wears earplugs, and respects my beliefs, even if he doesn't share them. I feel that in the times we live such differences are a non-issue, and we should learn to see value in people we may not be entirely oriented with, even if they're oddly more inclined to listen to Fugazi over Black Flag." Initial difference in preferences appeared to run deeper, however. "I get how she feels about the Kennedys. Really most of my first punk experiences were with them." noted Elliott, 37. "But when I discovered the Dead Milkmen it really felt that I wasn't losing my love of Hardcore, but rather was adding adorable levels of satire to it. She gets that." The couple first met at their old Tuesday-night RPG session. When asked what he first noticed about Dana, T.J. said "I was exceptionally impressed by her high initiative score, and ability to deal massive amounts of damage to multiple enemies." Hood noted that his style of play was highly compatible with hers "His perception score is super-useful and his ability to tank/main heal is pretty baller." The two are set to be wed at someplace, sometime, eventually.
