> > She might also react in interesting ways if she's told that while the Void Scholar's plan is to exploit her and Danny, it's also a necessary fate. For instance, what if she's told that her influence will bring stability to Danny's life, and she must eventually marry him to avoid having him become the Moderator or another Hooded Hood?

It can even be much simpler than that. Like the Void Scholar can just tell her that she needs to keep Danny close, because it's all that will prevent him from going mad and destroying the Parodyverse. It might only need to be implied that she's supposed to live with him.
> > The reason why that might be a tough decision for her is because it's absolutely true. Danny has strong temptation to become something powerful, and the temptation increases dramatically if Kerry rejects him. If he has no stable influence - i.e. someone to care about him enough to keep his feet on the ground - it just may happen.

True. Too bad there's no money in this.

According to the History Channel the #1 cause of death of pirate leaders was capture and death...and the #2 cause was mutiny. That sounds like a lot to avoid, especially since as a female with no history as a pirate leader, Yuki would immediately have to deal with both.
