[ WP ] `` I do n't care if it 's an eldrich being from another dimension , I love him ''

`` Today on,'Matchmaker', the only game show where one of the bachelors is an eldritch god in disguise, we are down to the final 7 contestants for Juliana's heart. Rumours have been flying in the house about who the Eldritch being is, and Juliana is hearing accusations from every one of the guys. Why do n't we check in with the privacy camera to see what some of our guys are saying about the current situation?

 Eric sat in the confessional room, looking around nervously and waiting for someone to turn on the camera. He kept adjusting his tie, a deep red against his white dress shirt. He'd worn one on the second week and it had become his thing. They all were told that the ratings did n't affect how Juliana chose, but he knew that this was a lie, all the dating shows kept the people who were popular on until the end. Hero and villain and all of that. Seeing as he was n't Toby of Elijah, he needed to settle for'the guy who dresses up nice for her.' 
 
 The red light came on, signaling that he was good to vent whenever, he adjusted the tie again, checking his reflection in the lens. They'd fix him up in post, but he still wanted to look as good as he could for the cameras, he started talking, `` So, I do n't want to be the guy that's pointing fingers, but I'm pretty sure that I've figured out that the Eldritch abomination is Elijah,'' he was lying through his teeth, but he knew that people wanted the abomination to get off the show so it was a power play, `` I know we do n't have cameras in the bedrooms, but heard some really strange sounds coming from there, like maybe a portal opening, I do n't know.'' 
 
 He continued for a while but figured everything else would end up on the cutting room floor, he just needed to make sure that everyone in the editing room thought that it was a legitimate session of letting off steam rather than just an accusation, or they would cut it to look pretty nasty, which was the last thing that he needed. 
 
 He smiled one last time at the camera as the light faded away, leaving him alone in the confessions room again. There was a knock at the door, the softspoken Annie was on the other side. Network had tried to add a second extra element by having a girl in the mix, but Juliana only kinda swung that way if you gave her four shots of tequila and punched her in the face a few times. Producers did n't like the black eyes that left her with, so they left it at that, with every date Annie was on being horrendously anticlimactic. 
 
 Huge hit with the boyfriends forced to watch the show though, so she was still in the competition. 
 
 The short redhead slipped past Eric into the room, looking at the camera and waiting for the light to turn red, she'd just come back from an outing that included her and Andy, and boy did things get interesting.

 `` Ca n't I just tell them now?'' Juliana said into Andy's shoulder, they'd stayed back on the yacht that was rented for the day, `` they can rig the show or something.'' 
 
 `` I do n't think that's how it works. You control the relics, how about we just play it safe, it's not like I'm going to lose.'' 
 
 `` I do n't want to go on dates with other guys when I've already decided on you.'' 
 
 `` I do n't know, Annie is nice.'' 
 
 `` Oh come off it, I ca n't spend all my life experimentally drunk.'' 
 
 `` I mean, you could.'' 
 
 `` I'm not going to.'' 
 
 `` What if I was the Eldritch Abomination?'' 
 
 `` What?'' 
 
 `` What if?'' He posed the question while grabbing her chin to force her to face him, `` What if I were eight feet tall and an elder god?'' 
 
 `` You'd be a short elder god.'' 
 
 `` You think a god ca n't control his height?'' 
 
 `` So you do n't think it's Annie?'' 
 
 `` They did n't say Elder Goddess.'' 
 
 `` Fiar enough.'' 
 
 `` Would you care?'' 
 
 `` At least a little,'' she said, now pulling away from the snuggle to watch the sunset, leaning back in her deck-chair, `` I mean, it would change things up in the bedroom,'' she lifted her large sunglasses off her eyes, `` which is how I know it is n't you.'' 
 
 `` Good or bad?'' 
 
 `` What?'' 
 
 `` In a good way or a bad way?'' 
 
 `` I do n't know.'' 
 
 `` Come on, you have google,'' Andy knocked her on the shoulder, pretty much the first thing that happened when the realms were connected was someone taking a camera and telling a being from each side to get it on. 
 
 `` Alright, alright, it's weird but fine. So neutral I guess.'' 
 
 Andy silently fist pumped, it was still going to be work to get them to accept that she was in love with his eldritch self, but the first thing he needed to do was get her on board.
