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.

Yeah, this whole place is uh. Pretty much the dead-ass opposite of life back home, before or after the Collapse. Some of 'em, y'know, Xander, Hurk, Nick probably, they'd be cool about it, but the rest...

[Eugh. He can't imagine how Jerome would handle shit here. ...Man, he misses that dude.]

Uh -- sooo, like, if I ask you to dance, is that cool? Not cuttin' in before Peter or anything? [He sure HOPES not!!!]

I figure if people can accept alien invasions and a surgeon in a flying cape and whatever the hell the Hulk is meant to be... [dismissive wave of her hand.] But it's nice Peter's gotten through his culture shock.

[a little glance off in the direction of aforementioned Mr. Smith, followed by a shake of her head.] Nah, he's not so insecure. This song seems fun... [sorta sways a bit to start picking up the beat of it.]
broshaw: (26. that's the way i like it)

[personal profile] broshaw 2022-12-17 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, was Peter all weird about gay shit? [COMPLETELY side-stepping the Hulk mention, not because he didn't hear it, but because he doesn't want to start fanboying about Edward Norton right now. he might never shut up. i mean, Fight Club? get out of here!]

I guess that makes sense, 'cos like, old times or whatever. Hahaha, boy am I glad I never tried hittin' on him. [he grooves a bit to match!! please don't ask me to describe his dancing right now]

[personal profile] decohere 2022-12-17 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
Apparently? Was never an issue that came up between us. [because Maximilien and their being stuck here was more of an issue.] Not until after he got it straightened [giggle] out. But at least he's not clinging to the old timey excuse.

[her dance style is very making it up as she goes along, and mirroring some of Sharky's moves enthusiastically. she likes to dance. she's aware she probably looks very stupid doing it. she doesn't care.] It's not like he's asking me to iron his shirts and... uh. Vacuum things. Either. [whatever it is that housewives do all day. especially since all those things are kinda taken care of by the ghosts.]
broshaw: (11. pull up to the bumper)

[personal profile] broshaw 2022-12-18 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
[shame and dancing don't belong together, and it shows on both ends here]

Hehehe. If he did that, pretty sure he'd wind up with an iron where his liver should be, huh? Nahhhh, Peter's chill. Not surprised he's being good to you. Which he better be!! Otherwise I'm gonna be real fuckin' disappointed in his direction.

[no murder skulls here, just regular friend-circle cold shoulders.]

[personal profile] decohere 2022-12-18 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
No, no disappointment. He treats me very well. [even if her standard for that has been historically very low.] He actually handled a bit of a... conflict for me, recently.

[twirls around Sharky, because that's her favorite dance move of all.]
broshaw: (25. i am what i am)

[personal profile] broshaw 2022-12-19 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
[most of Sharky's moves are just repurposed disco dances smashed together to whatever beat the song is at. with his beard and long hair he looked like a fun grandpa who would offer helpful but unsolicited advice. now he looks like the dorky cousin who teaches you how to mash apples for the cider he's drunk on. they're both accurate.]

Oh yeah? Well, he's a super smooth secret agent, so of course he's gonna be a chill negotiator. Unless you mean he handled it. [this dance move is called "miming your boyfriend punching some dude in the face"]

[personal profile] decohere 2022-12-19 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
Noooonono. [and this dance move is the playfully dodging the punches that Sharky isn't even really aiming her way.] He's friends with the other party. So. Peacekeeping was more the goal. And I'm trying. It's such a small ship, you get in a feud with one person and suddenly everyone's kinda... eyeing you funny. I don't need people having more reason to look my way. [as if she's not flickering like a glitchy hologram as she continues to dance.]
broshaw: (26. that's the way i like it)

[personal profile] broshaw 2022-12-19 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
Ugh, tell me about it. It's like a small-town, dude, you gotta be careful who you mess with or else you end up like, fuckin' ostracised. That's what happened to Zip, man, and he turned out to be a fuckin' weirdo. RIP but yikes.

[the way he says it, maaaaybe that's also what happened to him...]

But know I got your back if some shit goes down. No idea who you're beefin' with but I'm on your side. That's the bro-code, y'know??

[personal profile] decohere 2022-12-19 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
For a small town, I sure barely know who any of my neighbors are anymore... they've haven't been here all that long and [gestures into the crowd which is less a dance move and more a call for help. Who are all these people, Sharky?]

Besides, I'm already past the point of no return on weird. ... [a reluctant sigh, she really isn't trying to stir up anything more, but.] It's Erin. Not sure you know her. But I tried to tell her to back off and she got so aggro about it.
broshaw: (34. think it over)

[personal profile] broshaw 2022-12-19 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I dunno who that is or like, who half of these dudes re, but I think it's 'cos I was... kinda weird the last couple months. I'm thinkin', y'know, if the next expedition or whatever isn't a murder orgy, I'm gonna try to figure out what everyone's deal is. I'll text you what I learn too! Then you can pick and choose who's cool enough to be Team Ava.

[like "team avenger" but cooler because Ava is hot.]

Off months happen. [dances a bit closer, mostly to keep her voice hushed, but maybe sneak in a bit of a hug as a dance move.] I spent most of one inside the walls. Pratt tell you he pulled me out of a ceiling? He was freaked out because my leg was dangling...

But yeah, I need some inside source on this gossip. And noo, there's no teams. I'm just. [sigh!] Trying to keep out of the path of the popular girls.
broshaw: (11. pull up to the bumper)

[personal profile] broshaw 2022-12-20 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
For real? That fuckin' sucks. Uhh, not that he had to pull you out, just like, that you were like that to begin with.

[he isn't sure if "sorry you were so depressed you lived in a wall" is like, a greeting card you can get??? but he probably should look in the sundries shop just in case...]

Man, I know all about avoiding the popular girls. Fuckin' jackals, man. You pull one weird move in front of them and the next thing you know, everybody's callin' you a creep. [no he is not elaborating this ISN'T ABOUT HIM]
decohere: (Default)

[personal profile] decohere 2022-12-20 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
And I'm sorry I haven't been tugging at your leg more, metaphorically. [but glad to see Sharky out and enjoying the party! he seems more... in the moment.]

... nobody here treating you like that, yeah?
broshaw: (32.  knock on wood)

[personal profile] broshaw 2022-12-27 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
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.
