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.

"You got that right, buddy. We'll make 'em regret it!"

They grin widely, rocking back on their heels. "Where'd you get your skirt from? Was it a present? I got like a whole wardrobe! If...you ever wanna borrow anything. I might have grey...definitely black."

“Okay, but do you really think your clothing will fit me?” It is 6’5” and built like a refrigerator. “I could lend you sweatshirts, they’d be oversized on you and that might look cute. But the other way around is a recipe for ripped clothing.”

“Okay, fair. Also I do like looking cute. You could manage some of the shirts. I believe in you. And the one skirt I stole from Allison once. She didn’t make me give it back! One day Luther will maybe show up and you’ll see. He’s about your size and maybe bigger across the chest. Unless he’s depowered.”

"Some of my hooded sweatshirts have cat ears on the hood. They would be very cute on you."

(They're also cute on it, but it's not going to say that aloud.)

(Also, when did it become the sort of bot who could use the word cute???)

“I need to see you in these sweatshirts. I won’t even stare. I just wanna see them now.”

It’s nice that it thinks he’d be cute in them. Aw. Klaus is pretty sure that’s what friendship is. Telling your friends they’re cute and also awesome.

“I don’t think I’ve ever worn anything with cat ears before.”

"That's okay, I've never interacted with a cat before. I've only ever seen them in serials."

Not that it's sure it would get along with such a creature. A pet, a luxury, a nuisance.

“Not even once?” There’s a frown. “I’ve never owned one, but I’ve met a couple. They’re kinda cute.”

This ship could probably use some pet therapy at this point. Give them a therapy cat, you cowards! Or a dog!

"It would be cool to, someday, but the Captain doesn't make animals often at all. It's a fucking shame." Because yes, it needs pet therapy.

"You are absolutely correct. Seems kind of lame to have so much power and be like, 'no cute animals that aren't also people'. I want to pet an animal and not worry about if it's actually a person that might feel awkward about it...or will potentially murder me in a weird murder game."
serialskiller: (wtf)

"Better to make it a game with explicit opt-ins than to just murder people for the sake of murder?"

It doesn't know what to think of Siffleur yet.

Klaus shrugs. “I guess. It’s just…awkward.” Mostly the cannibalism part of it. Also the part where their boyfriend didn’t even tell them they were playing murder games.

“Nobunaga did it? I found out the next morning after. But we’ve had a talk about that since. So my feelings might be biased by emotional weirdness.”
