(In the world of Terraria…)

[player]: “Great…another blood moon. I was JUST about to fight the Destroyer.”

Guide: “Hey, uh, [player]…I think I saw the Goblin Tinkerer and the Mechanic flirting with each other at the Princess’s house in the hallow earlier.”

[player]: “Huh. I should probably pay them a visit.”

([player] makes their way to the Princess’s house in the hallow, their battle-ready gear equipped and ready for action. As they approach, faint giggles and whispers catch their attention, growing louder as they get closer.)

(Opening the door, player sees the Goblin Tinkerer and the Mechanic sitting close together, their faces mere inches apart. They jump apart, startled by player’s sudden appearance.)

Mechanic: “[Player]! Uh, what are you doing here?”

[player]: “I was just passing by and heard you two were having a little rendezvous. Are you two getting close?”

Goblin Tinkerer: “Uh, well, y’know, it’s complicated. We’ve been spending some time together, getting to know each other better. But we also have some good news to share with you! Isn’t that right, Mechanic?”

Mechanic: “Yes, that’s right! We wanted to tell you together…not only are we engaged, but our first child is on the way!”

[player]: “That’s amazing! Congratulations, you two! I’m so happy for you!”

Goblin Tinkerer: “Thanks, [player]. We’re really excited about it.”

Mechanic: “Yeah, it was a bit unexpected, but we couldn’t be happier. And don’t worry, we won’t let this distract us from our work. We’ll still be available to help you with your gadgets and contraptions.”

[player]: “That’s great to hear. I know I can always count on you both. And I’m glad you found happiness together.”

(As the blood moon wanes and dawn breaks, [player] bids them farewell and continues their journey. They can’t help but feel a sense of joy and warmth knowing that even amidst the chaos of Terraria, love can still blossom.)

(7 months later, and [player] has defeated the Destroyer - alongside Skeletron Prime. The Mechanic has also entered her third trimester.)

[player]: “Wow, Skeletron Prime was no joke. But we did it! Another victory for us, right, Mechanic? How are you feeling?”

Mechanic: “I’m a bit tired, but hanging in there. The baby seems to be doing well too. You know, it’s been quite a journey these past months.”

[player]: “I can imagine. Balancing adventuring and preparing for a child must be challenging. You’re both handling it remarkably well.”

Goblin Tinkerer: “We have our moments, trust me. But we’re doing our best. The baby’s nursery is almost ready, and we’ve been gathering all the baby essentials we need.”

[player]: “That’s fantastic. I’m really happy for you two. You’re going to make amazing parents.”

Mechanic: “Thanks, [player]. That means a lot. It’s reassuring to know we have your support.”

Goblin Tinkerer: “Definitely. And don’t worry, we won’t let our new roles slow us down completely. We’ll still be there to help you whenever you need it.”

[player]: “I appreciate that. But remember, take all the time you need to focus on your family. I can handle things on my own when necessary.”

Mechanic: “We know, but we also love working with you. It brings a different kind of joy to our lives.”

[player]: “I feel the same way. We make a great team. And now, not only will we continue our adventures, we’ll also get to see your child grow up.”

Goblin Tinkerer: “It’s going to be an amazing journey, that’s for sure.”

(Suddenly, an intense wave of pain surges through the Mechanic.)

Mechanic: “Oh…oh no. This…this can’t be happening now!”
