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.

"Yes," a somber nod. "But some of them have managed to be pulled back. Where there's a will, there's a way."

A tight grin about Friday. "Me too, honestly. But everyone else gets along well with her. She has good intentions."

"That makes me feel a little better..." Just a little.

"Is it weird that the part that freaks me out most is that she has no mouth? Because that's really freaky how she still manages to, like, talk and... I also feel sad she can't eat anything."

Nobunaga just arches an eyebrow in amusement. "I think that's very sweet of you. I don't think she minds. I don't think she's programmed to miss it." Ahhhh the part of that which scares Nobunaga. He has spent his whole life time, even as a child almost, trying break people free of those programmings. Such a problem. You couldn't do it to everyone, some people needed it to survive. That's how a lot of it developed in the first place. You had to solve the issues that created it first. And here? It was trickier, but it wasn't going to stop him. At leas to try, and learn from any mistakes.

"What would you give her if you could?" Because workaholics were the same even in other timelines. And he could see Klaus saying the exact thing. With Waffles and ice cream as the answer probably.

"Programmed. Right..." Is she a robot? She didn't seem like one but maybe she's like SecUnit.

"If I could choose anything? Macarons, probably. Because they are my favorite and they are also really hard to make so it seems like a worthy effort. Barring that, hm. A cake, maybe? Everyone deserves to have some acknowledgement with a cake now and then."

Nobunaga only barely know what either of those from fiction books. "Tell me more about them? They're sweet, yes? What kind of cake?" He's had cake but, Japanese 16th century cakes, are pretty unrecognizable in the future! "Samurai Pratt has told me much of snack foods from the future, but not all of it. More focus on umami than sweets from him."

"Yeah, they are sweet. But if you make them right they aren't too sweet. You want to be able to taste the different flavors in them too, like strawberry or lemon." He's trying to hold himself back because if he really gets started they might be there for days.

"Samurai Pratt? You mean...Deputy Pratt?" Yes, they've met. Intimately.

"What is too sweet?" Fight him. That's not a thing that exists. His favorite candy tastes of nothing but pure sugar though.

"Yes. He's my samurai. Deputies usually are like samurai to daimyo, and the daimyo are like sheriffs. Daimyo are lords," a serious nod! "And he is a type to do better with taking directions from someone, I'm sure you understand."

okay to wrap this one up now?

"Oh, you're one of those, huh?" The kind of person who likes their frosting to taste like eating a sugar cube. Max is judging a little.

"I guess that does make sense. Glad he's got someone who can give him a sense of purpose, in that case."
konpeito_aji: (Ruthless)

Yup yup!

"One of whats?" He is absolutely that type. Although he also loves poprocks. Surprising no one probably.

"Sounds like you're the same way. Don't get too lost, Max Imum. If you need directions, call on me, I'll find something." From Nobunaga that's not flirting, though given the issue he had with Pratt, it probably seems like it.
maximumcake: (Snarky bastard)

thanks!

"Sweet, sweet tooths. That's all." He waves it off.

"Yeah. I think I am. So, I appreciate that. I'll remember." Max honestly takes it as an offer and a flirt all at once. Either or is appreciated.

"Thank you."
