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.

“That will be partly true later.” Because really…Nobunaga just left that wide open and Klaus is predictable like that.
konpeito_aji: (I will take your heart)

Yes good, that is exactly how he meant. "It is only with great difficulty that it's not true yet." He is trying so hard okay! It's his wedding present. Not to cause a scene.

"I'll do my best to remain as unappealing as possible until then." A beat. "Once I chewed on a bagel out of a dumpster...that's like a big trashcan."
konpeito_aji: (huh?)

Give him some mental calculation here. "Yet, you wouldn't eat bugs?" Not that Nobunaga was seeming sexy, but he is a child, so he will always come back to this. "Were you starving and too stubborn to call on Reginald's aid?"

"No. I was...making...a point...and looking for something I'd realized I threw out and Pogo said was important and then I had to make up a story for Five!"
konpeito_aji: (Ayyyy lmao)

"Oh... it was recently-ish then? What was the point you were making?" A beat. "Okay, note to us both, but apparently I am attracted to even this side of you. In my eyes and heart, what I heard was that you're badass and do crazy things out of a stubbornness to make things right, and a little bit of a mess, but I already know that, and that is why you need me to look after you so your life is a lot easier."

"Not that recent. Like...I was 29 then and now I'm..." There's a frown. "Emotionally 36, physically 30." They squint up and off to the side. "Wow. I guess I'll just have to make you think pure thoughts, then."
konpeito_aji: (rage)

[personal profile] konpeito_aji 2023-01-04 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh. I was just thinking how Five had been missing for so long, but forgot about the time travel, and being here... Makes sense."

A groan! "What?! No! Anything but that! Do you want to kill me?!

[personal profile] busball 2023-01-04 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh. Yeah. It was right after he'd come back. Sort of."

Klaus giggles a little. "I mean, it did what it was supposed to do, didn't it?"
konpeito_aji: (hoisted by my own dumbassery)

[personal profile] konpeito_aji 2023-01-04 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
"Eeeuuuugh yessss....????" His voice goes all over the damn place with it. "But I don't want to die! YUCK! At least kill me in a cool badass way! Like --" Oh wait, he doesn't want to depress Klaus. No death! "Blech. Not purity. Revolting!" Shudder! "Oh, did I tell you what being baptized felt like?" A beat. "Have you ever done a baptism? Luis Frois wanted to baptize me and I was like hell no. I think he did one of my brothers though. Weirdos, the lot of them."

"I don't think we've been baptized. At least, I don't remember it. I also don't know how long my mom had me before Dad bought me from her. Or if the Amish do baptisms." There's a shrug. "And then like...I did this river ritual thing in India or whatever, but I didn't really take it seriously. Just like...Cult stuff, you know?"
konpeito_aji: (LOLOLOLOL)

Nobunaga shamelessly giggles at that, leading Klaus back into a proper waltz, because he knows Klaus wants to see that. "Only you could make something like that sound kind of fun."
