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.

"Come on- you can fight those grim thingies, I'm sure you can ask a girl to dance," Darcy hypocrites hypocritically.

"And no problem-" double finger-guns at her, "I kind of had to go through mine on my own, it sucks ass and I don't want anyone else to have to go through it solo, ehn? I'm here for you, dude."

"See you'd think, right? But unfortunately! Aura doesn't protect against social screw ups like it does against claws and stuff!" She says it with a self-aware sort of smile, because if there's one thing she's very aware of about herself its that she's a socially awkward mess sometimes. Her life would be way easier if aura could defend you against social situations. "...I appreciate it, really. I-I might've just made a break for my cabin instead of sticking around if I'd kept sort of panicking, heh."

"True, but at least it'll protect you if your social screw up is bad enough to get yourself slapped?"

This is comforting, yes.

"I'm glad you didn't. There's still the whole wedding to get through, ehn? C'mere-"

And Darcy offers her hand to pull Ruby up.

Comforting, maybe not very, but enough to make her laugh anyway? Definitely. Ruby gives a clearly exaggerated dramatic sigh and takes the hand to let herself get pulled up.

"That's so long," jokes the girl who has no idea when the party's actually ending, and doesn't actually have any issue with staying.

"Maybe," Darcy pulls her weight up with no issue, which surely will not worsen Ruby's gay crisis in any capacity.

"But most of these things are just eating and drinking, ehn? You put up with some sappy bullshit and then it's fine. And you can do what I do which is punch people who ask you why you're not dancing or whatever."

Please pay no attention to the flush coming back into her cheeks, she's fine this is normal—

"I-I think if I started punching people, I'd be at risk of an intervention or people thinking the possessions had started back up." She smooths her skirt out and adjusts her cloak. "But maybe if I always have some food in my hands no one will question it anyway."

"Or you call for me and I punch people who are giving you shit for it," Darcy jokes, absolutely missing why Ruby's cheeks would be flushing.

"Now that's a real solution." She laughs. "You've got a better punch than I do anyway. Smith can only do so much for me."
