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.

Gideon cackles, barely managing to keep from choking on her food. "'Tell them I sat on your face and suffocated you but don't tell them I made a bone pun!'" She shakes her head, shoulders still heaving as she laughs. "SexPal would never let me live it down, fucking never."

"He might if you - oh wait the necro space future isn't homophobic." Erin pauses. "...Damn it that's a whole class of jokes I can't tell you 'cause they won't land. Fuck me running."

Gideon snorts. "Oh yeah that's been fun to piece together in reverse. Sounds like I got lucky ending up here instead of a bunch of other places. Too bad about the jokes, but hey, if it helps any, there's a whole class of necromancy related jokes that just don't land with anybody else here. Except the boning jokes, thank god they're good everywhere."

"Dead on arrival," Erin sighs, theatrically. "Good thing you've got Palamedes to raise them with."

(...DID WE JUST -)

Well that gets a snort out of Gideon and another double fingergun in Erin's direction. "EEEYYY!"

She's going to have to lay some of these on Palamedes later, especially since he seems to be drinking like it's the end of the world over there.

"Alright, I've got a stage to get back on, but one thing reaaaaaallll quick."

Erin directs Gideon's attention to Ruby out on the dance floor in her floofy dress. "That's Ruby Rose, who adopted me as her older sister here recently. Loves jokes, and engineering, and fairy tales. Cheese ain't her style but I bet she'd love to learn about how y'all fight in the Ninth."

Still very cheerful: "That said, if you hurt her feelings I'll fly you from the top deck like a sail and if you're very sorry about it I'll even kill you first. Seem fair?"

Gideon follows Erin's pointing to the hot chick in the great dress, nodding along as Erin jazzes her up-

And then snorts as Erin lays down a threat. She just wiggles her eyebrows at Erin. "Don't threaten me with a good time!"

"Gideon, love, darling, I'm into homoerotic murder but you might wanna see a doctor about that flaying kink." It comes with a broad and genuine grin though. "In all seriousness, she doesn't know how to play games the way I do. Ruby's an honest girl, and I just don't want a misunderstanding there given that I know first that she's adorable and second that you own working eyes."

"I grew up on the Ninth, flaying kink is par for the course, my dove." Gideon teases right back. But alright, yeah, Erin is doing her a solid and trying to set her up and Gideon truly appreciates that. She puts one hand over her heart. "I swear to you, despite my rugged and delectable exterior, I'm not actually a heartbreaker. But you're right, she is adorable in that dress and also smoking hot, and I will be flirting with her next time I spot her in the gym, but respectfully. Delicately. Only my finest bone-based puns for your dear friends."

Erin doesn't expect that to go anywhere but friendship but it'll do them both a world of good to have a weapon nerd around and Ruby a world of good to experience Unmistakable Flirting.

"Then until next time, Gideon. My next song goes out to the passion I shared with your mother."

Is it going to be a metal cover of Stacy's Mom?

Duh.
