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.

[He really doesn't want to get into the semantics here, and unfortunately, he doesn't know enough about her own romantic situation to point out that she isn't going around announcing her relationship to the world, either!!

But there is something there he would like to unpack, as he tilts his head curiously.]


Someone like me?

[She's not dating their captor which means it's not automatically everyone's business!!]

Don't play dumb! Someone like you--you lied before, too, when you threw yourself off that cliff with him. Don't tell me you were already playing his game back then!

[Trying to keep her voice down is starting to fail; her volume is just about growing to a shout at this point.]

[Okay, he'll bite.]

How was I lying then?

[He gets an angry scoff in response.]

Of course you already forgot, huh? Fine! You know what? I don't care! Especially not about you!

[Look how much she doesn't care! Look how logical and not at all emotional she's being here!]

See if I care when he takes you apart one piece at a time, right before he does the same to the rest of us!

[SEE, SHE DOESN'T CARE. She cares so little she's going to stomp off!! And totally not look his way for the rest of the party! (Okay, maybe she shoots him a glower once or twice.)]

[He watches her go like, what the hell is she talking about?

Wait.


...OOOOOOHHHHH.

Whoops. That's right. Definitely told her he wasn't going to die and then definitely went out and died. In his defense, he thought she knew he was lying when he sid it!!

Yeah, he's just going to avoid her glares for the rest of the night. Oops!]
