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.

[Ari shrugs, indifferently.] If someone else wants to waste food with you, that's their lookout. I don't care so long as I'm not around.

I've never heard of siblings fighting like that. Have you heard of anyone other than Diego doing it?

"No promises. It could happen by accident just as you walk in and you can't hold me accountable for an accident." Yeah. That totally works. Accidents happen all the time!

Klaus shrugs. "I mean, Allison did recently murder Viktor's sort of adopted kid because he accidentally killed our moms because Viktor accidentally gave him powers that he didn't mean to give him. So like...you know. Also once Viktor sort of accidentally almost killed Allison. It was a whole thing. So you know. And plus, Five and Diego being dicks is how they say I love you! It's their love language!"

Those are all your relatives. It's not normal, and it's not loving.

[And Ari doesn't know how many ways she has to say she doesn't agree to this before he'll respect it, and now she's getting to thinking that it's because she allowed informalities and closeness that she probably shouldn't have, so now he thinks it'd be fine to mistreat her.

Yes, throwing food at someone, once you've reached the age of reason, isn't anything but wasteful and insulting where she's from. She can't see the funny side at all.]


You think Tradeliners can't see obvious loopholes? Any food gets anywhere on my person, after what you've just threatened, and I'm holding you accountable. Even if I dropped my soup spoon.

[Then she stands to leave, because she has too many conflicted feelings and it's not right to get into a proper argument at someone else's celebration.]

Klaus frowns. “Not normal, I’ll accept, but you don’t even know them enough to understand. We love each other. It doesn’t have to sound right to you.”

He’s not even going to stop her from leaving. It had all been teasing. They’re just going to go off on their own because Johnny deserves a good vibe even if they’re currently a bad vibe.
