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, just high-class taste in nerds, then." He's kind of enjoying this teasing side of her, he must admit.

"Couger, huh? You met the other cougar we got around here?"

She leans in with a smile.

"Oh, yeah, I've met him. Tasted his blood, dumped his body on the bridge."

Maybe Black Widow was appropriate after all.

"You know, the normal things you do in a fight to the death."

(This is much sadder now in retrospect.)

"Agreement? That's uh... well, I'm not gonna tell you your own business man, but that seems like a weird middle ground. But maybe that's just me. Personally, I'm not sure I'm up for having that kind of, what do people call it, open relationship?" He should probably have that conversation with Arthur at some point. But they haven't even gotten that far with each other yet.

"Yeah." Klaus can't help but smile here, taking joy in the blush and the idea of a honeymoon. They have a little blush of their own and there's a nod. "Yeah. It sounds really nice." He reaches out for Nobunaga's hand. "You're cute when you're happy." It's dangerous, but no less true.

They hope they'll always be happy like this. In these little moments. "Shall we dance, then? Just steal a little more time? Then we can check in with the others."

"They do. Short and long." Siffleur says with his own grin.

He doesn't mention the knitted tops he's seen before though. While Siffleur would love to see Jack in a knitted halter top, that's for personal selfish reasons, not because Jack's the kind of man who ever goes semi-shirtless.

"I'll set some aside next time I spot them." He knows Jack's size well enough by now. "Anything else you think might be his style?"

He nods. He can tell she's already guessed its connection to him. But, there's more to it.

"Before I was brought here, I was being held as a prisoner in another place. That place was called The Village, and in it, no one was allowed to keep their name. We were numbered, and we were...subjected to horrors that sometimes still outrank what I've experienced here. Number 6 was my designation." So, she can probably tell now why it angered him so much.

Nobunaga gently nips Klaus' nose in punishment, but gives their hand a small squeeze.

"Okay! Waltz, right? I don't need to check in though. He can feel my happiness, and just call if it's an emergency. I don't think he's stupid enough to avoid it just because I'm happy like this. But if you really think I should I'll send him a text. I don't think he's here now."

Gideon snorts. "Oh yeah that's been fun to piece together in reverse. Sounds like I got lucky ending up here instead of a bunch of other places. Too bad about the jokes, but hey, if it helps any, there's a whole class of necromancy related jokes that just don't land with anybody else here. Except the boning jokes, thank god they're good everywhere."

"Dead on arrival," Erin sighs, theatrically. "Good thing you've got Palamedes to raise them with."

(...DID WE JUST -)

(It’s so sad)

“That sounds like…the wording isn’t right. But we don’t want each other to sleep with other people unless we’re together. We talked about it before. I wanted to check something before I did it and wrecked things so early on. It definitely caused a minor hiccup and he told me I should date people to prove that he was the best aaaand I did not do that because that’s dumb for one and for two he was obviously trying to act like it was cool when it wasn’t and he wouldn’t be happy with it. I wouldn’t make him do something he wasn’t happy with. Not like that.”

Klaus shrugs. “Everyone’s different. You don’t have to do open or even maybe open to another person. Or polyamory or anything you’re not comfortable with. Just one of those conversations. When things are starting out.” There’s a pause before they say, “I honestly didn’t think he’d ever be actually interested cause he’s always saying his hands are too full with me. Thought it was just a thing we weren’t ever actually exploring, but he’s the one that suggested the threesome with Valdis.” They smile a little. “That’s not to say I didn’t agree or that I minded. Just surprised. Then again, Valdis is soooo hot.”

Well that gets a snort out of Gideon and another double fingergun in Erin's direction. "EEEYYY!"

She's going to have to lay some of these on Palamedes later, especially since he seems to be drinking like it's the end of the world over there.

"Alright, I've got a stage to get back on, but one thing reaaaaaallll quick."

Erin directs Gideon's attention to Ruby out on the dance floor in her floofy dress. "That's Ruby Rose, who adopted me as her older sister here recently. Loves jokes, and engineering, and fairy tales. Cheese ain't her style but I bet she'd love to learn about how y'all fight in the Ninth."

Still very cheerful: "That said, if you hurt her feelings I'll fly you from the top deck like a sail and if you're very sorry about it I'll even kill you first. Seem fair?"

"It's still true even when you bite me," he whispers.

That's good, though, because they don't really want to stop being together. "Yes. Waltz. Don't worry. I know both parts, so you can lead!" Since Klaus assumes he does. "And...if he's not here and you don't have to, then...I guess it's fine!"

Maeve at least keeps her expression neutral at the admission, but she understands a little more now why...he is how he is. And why he would be upset with the Captain for using that name. "It seems we're more similar than previously realized." Even though she did have a name and held prisoner was...subject to interpretation.

"I would not want him to use my serial number to identify me either, but that seems to be what occurred with all the others like me that participated."

Gideon follows Erin's pointing to the hot chick in the great dress, nodding along as Erin jazzes her up-

And then snorts as Erin lays down a threat. She just wiggles her eyebrows at Erin. "Don't threaten me with a good time!"

"Gideon, love, darling, I'm into homoerotic murder but you might wanna see a doctor about that flaying kink." It comes with a broad and genuine grin though. "In all seriousness, she doesn't know how to play games the way I do. Ruby's an honest girl, and I just don't want a misunderstanding there given that I know first that she's adorable and second that you own working eyes."
konpeito_aji: (elegance)

[personal profile] konpeito_aji 2023-01-01 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
Oh his gosh... he cannot handle the giant blush that overcomes him at that. "Sh-Shut up...." Waaah...

Nobunaga laughs quietly about Klaus knowing both parts. "Admittedly, I forgot, I do not know how to be led. In anything. At all." So he will have to lead, definitely. But he's very good at it! "You're so elegant. I've always said you move like you're dancing. To actually support you, it feels like we're flying instead. You're not using your power on me, are you?"

“You like it or you’d have told me to fuck off seriously already.” There’s definitely a wink. “But if you ever don’t, just tell me.”

There’s an eyeroll at all of that. “I don’t have any powers. And I wouldn’t use any to trick you into liking me anyway. I want to know you do. For keeps.”
konpeito_aji: (LOLOLOLOL)

[personal profile] konpeito_aji 2023-01-01 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
"Shut up," but in spite of the words, there is the exact opposite of force, it's all cuddles and intent meaning stay close, never leave, I love you, never stop talking!

And then Nobunaga laughs! "I meant us flying! I was trying to be romantic!" So much laughing. "Never mind. You're very beautiful. And naturally charming. I wouldn't care if you did use powers like that on me, they wouldn't work. I'm too crazy."

"I grew up on the Ninth, flaying kink is par for the course, my dove." Gideon teases right back. But alright, yeah, Erin is doing her a solid and trying to set her up and Gideon truly appreciates that. She puts one hand over her heart. "I swear to you, despite my rugged and delectable exterior, I'm not actually a heartbreaker. But you're right, she is adorable in that dress and also smoking hot, and I will be flirting with her next time I spot her in the gym, but respectfully. Delicately. Only my finest bone-based puns for your dear friends."
busball: (48)

[personal profile] busball 2023-01-01 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
Klaus grins widely, happily staying close. “Love you too, babe.” These are the real heart eyes here.

There’s a snort. “I don’t have that kind of power. Ava’s more of the flying type. Could probably make someone else fly with her.” There’s a small laugh. “You’re not that crazy.” A beat. “And don’t take that as a challenge.”

[personal profile] crushed_pearls 2023-01-01 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
Erin doesn't expect that to go anywhere but friendship but it'll do them both a world of good to have a weapon nerd around and Ruby a world of good to experience Unmistakable Flirting.

"Then until next time, Gideon. My next song goes out to the passion I shared with your mother."

Is it going to be a metal cover of Stacy's Mom?

Duh.

"Floating then," Nobunaga arched an eyebrow, and then smiled. "Too late~" and quickly starts improvising! Spinning and dipping Klaus, completely blending more modern dances into his previously courtly royal waltz!

We will. [she knows Klaus has talked about having all sorts of good ones, and she knows Steven does too. Maximilien has the complete collection of James Bond, but those seem better to skip. she doubts any of them would mind her asking to borrow.

encouragingly, she allows herself to lift just a bit higher as Fio lists off her own happy things, her smile widening as they continue to gracefully spin through the air across the dance floor before circling them back around.]
Those are good ones.

[personal profile] busball 2023-01-01 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
Klaus still follows fairly easily, but there’s a little more focus than before. “This is crazy for you?” They shouldn’t be egging him on, but here they are.
