10th Contraption: Mawwiage

Who: John Watson, Johnny Summer, and César Salazar with Rich Goranski, Fio, and Honoria Crabb AND YOU Oh god why are weddings like this
What: The throuple getting married by... the Captain?!
When: December 11th at 7pm
Where: John's
Warnings: I believe in us! But for now, nothing.


SEATING

John's has been transformed, the seating up front rearranged in rows towards the center dias with an aisle down the middle, the piano moved off to one side. The buffet for later can be seen off to the other. Decorations taken from Spirit Halloween appear here and there–flowers taken from cavalera flower crowns, sun and moon candlestick holders from the tarot collection, festively colored tablecloths draped down the walls like curtains or banners. A sign near the entrance says "seat yourself", although the front row on one side is reserved with a ribbon across the backs.

What can't be seen is who is officiating. Or the husbands, but at least that part makes sense. The dais is empty.


THE CEREMONY

As one of the few traditions in this wedding, music announces the start of the ceremony. Rich strolls in first, trying to look professional even if he’s clearly shaking a bit as he holds the small pillow with the rings laid on it. At least he’s dressed quite smartly, Johnny ensuring his red suit is wrinkle free and his cuff links are set in place. Fio, in a winged black dress and flowery headdress, follows after the ring bearer, adorning the path with paper petals as she moves along.

The first husband to be down the aisle is none other than Johnny, in a smart charcoal grey suit with a goldenrod pocketsquare, gold jewelry, and a wreath of orange blossoms on his head; and accompanied by Honoria Crabb in her perfectly tailored black tuxedo, worn with black gloves and a white bow tie. Watson and César take up the rear, arms linked together. César is wearing an equally fancy suitcoat with his tie held in place with a ruby and silver tie pin, and Watson is wearing an officer’s dress uniform, with the sword and without the helmet, and also his good cane. All three husbands-to-be are wearing green carnation boutonnières.


AFTER PARTY

It's time to eat, dance, and party!

The seating has been rearranged for sitting at tables around the "dance" floor. Food from Windjammer has been placed on some tables for a buffet. There’s a selection of fancy cheeses and crackers, sushi, premade sandwiches, and salad with dressings on the side. For dessert, to one side there’s a table with cupcakes, cookies, and chocolates arranged in a heart. On the bar are a couple bowls of punch (including one explicitly labeled as non-alcoholic) made by Johnny ahead of time, because he's been forbidden to bartend his own wedding, much to his deep chagrin.

There’s a space set just off the dancefloor for musicians who wish to perform, the usual John’s piano (bribed into behaving with a whole pan of beef brisket from the buffet) off to one side.

"Ah, smart idea, but that's already where I hide the booze money I steal from him."

That's probably a little bit of a darker joke than Rich should make, but. It's fine. He's got new dads. It's fine now.

"But how are you gonna get super famous? We talked about singing, but you wanna be in movies or anything?"

"It would be certainly difficult without being able to see them. I wonder if there is a way to let you experience them in some form." She doesn't really know very much about art, hasn't ever had the time or the luxury to explore much outside of her world until the ship.

"I do not think so, no. I think I'm glad that most people get to experience life and things that they would not have otherwise. Westworld wasn't really known for letting the Hosts learn new things. My creator used someone else to wake me up. And that was the first time I knew anything different from what I was programmed to know." A beat. "So I think it's nice to have time to learn new things. Even if the environment is...questionable sometimes."

There's another brief pause before she asks, "Is there anything that you enjoy doing? Or a new thing you've had time to do here?"

Unfortunately, manners of speaking could be replicated by others. It was never a guarantee though it did help in some cases.

Six nodded his head. "So long as you're not looking to deliberately make trouble."

"You'd have to ask him about that one. Something tells me he'd be happy to tell you about it." Nerd gotta nerd.

Speaking of. Her finally making a reference back just adds fuel to the flames. He smirks as he says, "Haven't run into Borg yet, but you'd be surprised how close some of the other species I've met have come to being them." He will just be over here forcibly suppressing how he had an implant in his own brain for a while. It's fine. It's fine.

"And here I was worried you might be a science fiction hater."

"I know, I know. It took us a while to get there. Still not ready to get explicit about it, if you know what I mean?" No garlic ass-eating jokes still, is what he means.

"Yep. I let Arthur drag me to one and Nobunaga was so happy to see me there I didn't have the heart to quit showing up." The things he does for friends and lovers.

"Nokia are considered the most reliable brand of cellular phones. You're supposed to be able to drop them a bunch and they won't ever stop working. But they are nothing like the ones we have on this cruise."

"A country full of you. Ah, so you admit it!" Come on, he's seen your dance moves too, Nobunaga, they aren't that different.

"No, no, more like this," he encourages helpfully, further demonstrating the propper elbow flapping moves. "You can do it. Try."
konpeito_aji: (It's not that I like you or anything b-b)

[personal profile] konpeito_aji 2022-12-26 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
It's so different! He's seen JPop dancing, and as bold and cute as that is, this is just shamelessness to rival his own radical mindset!

"Ah no..." looking anywhere else and trying not to facepalm. Even for as brave as Nobunaga wants to be... "I cannot. I have never seen a bird move like this." That's his excuse and he's sticking to it!

Cue the most confused, awkward, borderline 'how do you do fellow kids' attempt at finger guns in return. She has literally no idea what she's doing, immediately kind of regrets it, and folds her arms.

"Never start takin' what you got for granted, yeah. Plus, eh, might stand a better chance of it happening if you ain't looking for it. That seems to be how it's going, lately." Her evidence for that being mostly herself and Smith finding partners recently, honestly. It sneaks up on you.

"Safe words only work when both sides know it's sexual or agree in advance to respect the lines. I don't think Pratt remembered not all vore and sadism is sexual at the time."

Heeeeee...

Klaus blushing and managing the levitation even with Nobunaga pushing the limits of his concentration makes Nobunaga extremely proud of him. He's at a loss for words though, because he has no idea what he did right or how, just so happy anyway! "Love you too, Babe!" Was it the song? He will sing him all the stupid songs! He doesn't even have to get drunk for it, he is already drunk on how much he loves Klaus.

"In my experience," oh so dryly! "Family is always who you end up fighting the most, but I will remember this."

Aa for martial arts -- "Then it'll be good to get better with practice." A serious nod. "I am teaching a young woman by the name Teyrey some unarmed combat, since she is more accustomed to space warfare. If you'd like to join us, I'm sure she won't notice any imperfections, as she is still learning too. And it might help you develop your own techniques."

Please pay no attention to the flush coming back into her cheeks, she's fine this is normal—

"I-I think if I started punching people, I'd be at risk of an intervention or people thinking the possessions had started back up." She smooths her skirt out and adjusts her cloak. "But maybe if I always have some food in my hands no one will question it anyway."

Rita automatically echoes "some very good..." before trailing off, staring at him with skepticism for a moment. "From what you were just saying, those solar flares could even reach your planet. How does your library survive that when it's so close?"

"I think so," Watson says, amiably. "Or at least, it does keep me busy. Of course, if I ever try to write it down into a proper story, no one who wasn't here will believe a word of it."

He lets out a little laugh, amused.

[personal profile] lightconductor 2022-12-26 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
He chuckles. "Yes, that is almost certainly going to happen. Likely no one will see much of the three of us for a little while. Newlyweds' privilege, of course."

Would Watson emerge for a medical emergency? Of course he would.

[personal profile] lightconductor 2022-12-26 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, this is about as much as he can take.]

I'll leave to your, ah, cupcake. Thank you for not murdering anyone.

"If it were at all possible, I would have gladly given you the opportunity to make a wedding cake for us. And I would have been in your debt for it, though it can be difficult to properly enumerate someone for their skills here."

Watson follows along happily enough; occasionally he does make a clumsy misstep, used to doing this the other way around, but he does well enough too.

"And thank you, yes, if I cannot be an absolute fool today, when can I be?"

"I am at least as bad as him," Watson says, smiling. "At least in this department. But certainly, show me your waltz, my lad. Old-fashioned. Is that all you think I am?"
lightconductor: (calm)

[personal profile] lightconductor 2022-12-26 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[He smiles faintly; it seems a very cavalier attitude towards her own life, but it's the sort of thing he might have said once, as a very much younger man. He is not the John Watson who joined the army all those years ago.]

I wish you luck in that. And perhaps I am wrong. I have been wrong before.

"Duly noted," he says with a shy giggle. "I'll keep you away from the hot stoves." Maybe he and Nobunaga both.

"Oh, well, he was a little. But after I told him I had knives he seemed to calm down." Max still doesn't quite know what to do with that. But, Nobunaga had seemed so adamant.

"Actually, he asked me if I could teach you how to use them because he said he'd trust me to do it more than Blackbeard? So. I guess, maybe, if you want to learn?" He's also been pressganged into more martial arts stuff with both Nobunaga and Teyrey so... he may as well.

Yeah, you're right. We're gonna be the greatest! Hee hee.

[ A small hop as she gives him a high five. She giggles a little, because it's not everyday that she gets to do a high five with someone! ]

Um... I don't wanna "steal" the show. [ Her cheeks flush a faint pink. ] Everyone's gotta pay attention to the grooms!

She hums in reply to his comment on his adventures. From what she knows, it's probably good the Borg don't exist in his world. Though his did say some come close, which is less good. Valdis offers him a smile.

"I've dated a lot of nerds. Some of them are quite rich you know."

"Wish I could be a better help. According to most people here, I'm from their past which is... really bizarre. Makes my head hurt to think about it too much." Even the touchscreen phones they all have here seem strange to him.

"Are you interested in language? That's something I was never any good at."

Maeve laughs as well. "Well, I will just write a little foreword promising the validity of everything that happened. Naturally. Not that anyone will know who I am. So it may only make things seem more suspicious."

Nah, it's fine. I needed to, uhh... you know. Decompress or whatever. [he needed to ressociate, or something, who knows.] I wasn't really like, here, for a bit. But I'm back now, baby!

And hahaha, nahhh, everyone's been nice for the most part. IIII'm startin' to think that maybe people back home were just assholes.

"Maybe if you have a big family. I only had my dad and sister and we hardly ever really fought." He might just be lucky on that front.

"I think I met her already. She was nice to me and offered to let me help with stuff around the ship. So, sure. I'd love to. It would be good for me to keep up my training."
