[provenworth]

Characters: Elena, Reno, and YOU!
Setting: Meadow, Floor 25
Format: ANY
Summary: It’s the Tower’s first ever wedding and most of you are invited to watch! Come and participate in a rare event. Watch out, though, there's rumor that the Admins are attending.
Warnings: …..Ruana. 'Nuff said


Pre-Ceremony Gathering

[Anybody attending the ceremony would be surprised to find that the suspiciously warm and innocent looking meadow had the capability of transforming into the perfect wedding spot. Chairs borrowed from another floor were arranged in meticulously aligned rows ten seats across and nearly ten rows seats deep, a five foot passage cutting down the center. Small balls of equally meticulously arranged flowers in various shades of yellow and white hung from the backs of the aisle-side seats by thick white ribbons. Clearly there has been a lot of activity going on the twenty-four hours to get this organized.

At the end of the aisle, where eventually the bride, groom, and officiate would stand, was a small round table covered in a simple white cloth, similar yellow and white flowers tied together with ribbon and a single verdant green ribbon curled up at the very center.

Attendees will have plenty of time to congregate and enjoy the scenery before the ceremony begins while both bride and groom prepare themselves for the big day.]



Ceremony:

[Just shy of an hour has passed and the final seconds are dwindling. Its time for the groom to take his place 'cause his bride is on her way. Everybody take your seats, the show is about to begin!]

Pre-Ceremony Gathering

[provenworth]

[Congregate here, yo!]

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko had never been to a wedding before, so, despite the fact that the Administrators might attend, she was looking forward to it. She had arrived wearing her white dress, but..she still wore her belt and dagger. After all, she had promised a friend of Reno's to take care of people if they decided to mess with the proceedings.]

[wrigurun]

[This was... new, very very new. Wriggle was certain that the meadow wasn't like this the last time she was here. She inspected the arrangement meticulously, walking on the chair seats and tugging on ribbons. Despite the lack of awareness for the situation she was sure to hastily put things back and fix things if they happened to accidentally break. People were starting to notice her after all.

Despite the difference there was a somewhat nice feeling around and Wriggle wasn't entirely sure if she should be here or not. It's not like anyone else owned the meadow though, she had just a right to be here as anyone else so she stayed. What stood out to her most among the yellow and white was the green ribbon curled up on the table at the end of the aisle. It was such a pretty colour and while she crouched next to the table Wriggle reached out to touch it, just to see if it was silky as it looked]

Pre-wedding jitters you mean!

[midgarhorizon]

[There's the groom in his suit, walking around the meadow. As if walking was going to calm his nerves. There was plenty to be nervous today, and not all of it related to the wedding.

After all that work to get ready, it sort of turned out all right, even after all the burned cakes and bad bouquets. Still, he wore a pensive expression while he waited for Elena to get her rear ready and down there. Sheesh, broads and their grooming. Just slap some deoderant on him and he was good to go. (Not really, it took him an hour to comb his hair.)]

And all the Pre-Wedding Prep! - Room 2-09

[provenworth]

[Elena can't enjoy the prettiness of the meadow yet, she's still busy getting into her rushed special order suit while trying to remain as perfectly calm as she could. Which was hardly easy and her nervousness is obvious in her pacing in the room, twisting and turning to make sure that everything was laying exactly where she wanted it.

What was now the start of her downfall was the sash around her waist, and its refusal to take the shape of a perfectly proportionate bow. After several failed attempts, Elena made a noise of utter frustration.]

By Odin's flea-infested beard, you will become a proper bow or Gaia so help me.

Re: Pre-Ceremony Gathering

[puppy_lancer]

And Lancer's come in for security. He looks a little out of place in his usual rumpled suit.

Currently, he's hanging around the table with the flowers, taking a puff on his cigarette and quickly looking over everyone coming in to the wedding.

[hystericull]

[Why was he here. Why.]

[Why.]

[After explaining to Tavros about the wedding, about how Reno had been one of his best bros, but how they'd had a falling out a while ago, after explaining explicitly that he did not want to fucking attend this shindig because he couldn't see a way that it wouldn't end badly - he'd been dragged here. Literally. By the arm. Or the ear or the horn or whatever appendage was within reach at the time.]

[Leave it to nagging boyfriends to guilt you into doing something you detested.]

[Awkwardly enough, neither of them had really known what a human wedding entailed. They were dressed far too casually, milling about the site before the actual ceremony had begun. Tavros was being friendly enough, but Gamzee was glued to his hip, pretty much looking like he wanted to die.]

[atouchofstrife]

[ So what does the Man of Honor do in this sort of situation? In Cloud's case, stand near the small table, fidgeting with the Turk suit he was in and watch the rest of the people as they gathered together. He knew that the Maid of Honor was suppose to help out with getting the bride ready, but since she was getting dressed, he really did not want to have a redhead hit him over having caught Elena in nothing but her underwear.

He double-checked to make sure his bracer and his materia were still on him and then glanced over at his sword, which he had set off tot he side to keep it out of everyone's way. One good jump was all he needed to grab it so he wasn't too worried that it was too far out of range. He didn't think anything was going to happen, but you can never be too sure. Sighing, he leaned back on his heels and waited for when he can be useful again. ]

[attheclocktower]

[When she's not up in room 2-09 helping Elena get ready, Xion can be found wandering the meadow, holding the old bag she used to carry her shells in. Only this time, instead of the shells, the bag contained various flowers.

She's also notable as the only member of the Turks involved in the actual ceremony wearing something other than a suit, instead opting for the blue dress she'd had made ages ago for the blind date.

She seems nervous, but there's a bit of a hopeful smile on her face as she looks around at the people who've gathered. She really wanted this to go right. She really, really did...]

[carrythesin]

[After she helped with Hei prepared the food, Kirika wondered to where the ceremony was held. Kirika never been to a wedding before. So what do people do before a wedding? Her curiosity would always get the best of her. Kirika wandered around staring at the decorations. She didn't wore a dress, instead it was a school uniform. It was the closest formal attire she had. As always, she had a concealed gun on her just in case. For now the ceremony has one brunette teen wondering around.]

[culbutiri]

[Nesir wasn't actually at the ceremony itself, but rather sat on the staircase watching. She was interested in this other world wedding, and wondered why in a world without gods; or at least in a place where the gods had no power, they would do such a thing at all.

She had never actually been to a wedding in her own world to compare, didn't actually know anyone who was married. So she watched from her vantage spot.]

[warriorscribe]

*Enoch hadn't expected this when he arrived, curious. Naturally, he was nervous; the administrators weren't the people he wanted to see right now considering his suggestion box blunder, and he knew they were going to be there. But he was drawn here for the same reason Ruana claimed interest: he wanted to know how weddings like this were conducted. No definition of a wedding in his time made sense for being here.

For now, he was admiring the decorations that he'd halfheartedly attempted to help with, wandering the meadow and keeping a wary eye out.*

[littlelifeforms]

[ Data is wearing his formal dress uniform as he attends the wedding. Needless to say, the android is fascinated by this and intends to study all the aspect of the wedding. However he is primarily present to help keep the area secure as he had promised on the network, so you will see him holding his phaser in hand- Hopefully he won't have to use it.

So you could find Data circling around the meadow, keeping an eye on the entrance to see who is coming in and sometimes stopping around to look at the flowers and decorations with a most intrigued face. ]

[lightofhumanity]

[It had been quite awhile since chaos had been to a wedding with friends. Almost too long. He had almost forgotten the joyous and nervous atmosphere that came with these things. Plus..with the chance that the Administrators might be coming around, sticking around to help out and get some answers might have been a good strategy as well.

So, you can find chaos wandering around the meadow floor, smiling and checking out the proceedings.]

[cullscuttlefish]

[Feferi's dressed up and wearing a little bit of coral in her hair as a decoration. There aren't nearly enough causes to celebrate in the Tower, and she means to make sure to be there for the ones she knows about.

...and to make sure it goes off all right. It might not be out, but she's got her trident with her. She's willing to take down any of the admins that mean to cause trouble.]

[mostremaining]

Gilbert didn't really know the bride or the groom, but hey, who was he to miss a celebration? And this was the tower's first wedding, too! He couldn't possibly pass this up. However, he definitely did feel awkward. The fanciest clothes he had now were a plain white dress shirt and slacks. He just sort of lingered around the edges of the crowd, people watching and waiting for the ceremony to begin.

[thelordsage]

A wedding? Well, wasn't that something. Sephiran just couldn't miss this. It was a source of merriment among the dreary day-to-day affairs of the tower. It might just perk him up a bit. He wasn't exactly mingling, though; he was just sitting in a chair, content to people-watch.

[fusedstars]

[Don't mind Hei wandering about. He even still had his apron from cooking the food, so odds are the smell around him may not help stave off any hunger. He actually seems a bit tense, eyes scanning around for potential trouble. It's what usually happened, and he'd be damned if he was going to miss it.]

[determinedhowl]

[Koromaru had never been to a wedding before, but this was a floor he liked to visit often. Thus when he came to play here as usual, he noticed the gathering and realized "oh hey, something important must be going on!"

So don't mind him, sitting there and occasionally walking around to make sure no one who seemed bad got by. Whatever this was, the people here deserved a few nice things!]

[prayed]

[Kyoko has never gotten to attend a wedding. She doesn't really have any more than a passing interest in that sort of thing, but the novelty (and the prospect of food different from what the cafeteria's currently serving) is enough to draw her into the festivities. After all, who knows when she'll get another opportunity like this? It's not like she'll ever be able to see one back home.

A little encouragement (or rather, a lot of encouragement) from Naoto has even led to her even donning some formal attire for the occasion. She feels a bit out of place in a setting like this, but brushes those feelings aside as she flops down in a chair, crossing her legs and tilting the chair back idly as she waits for the festivity to begin looking perhaps a bit bored, although not displeased. Her eyes occasionally moving to the front or around the room. There's a piece of pocky sticking out of her mouth.]

Ceremony

[provenworth]

[Watch the ceremony go down!]

[the_white_rider]

[ An hour passed already... The wedding is about to start any moment. The White Wizard did not have the time to assist to the pre-ceremony gathering but as promised, by the time he is needed to proceed with the ceremony, he comes in. After all- A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.

All clothed in white and in somewhat more formal robes than usual, he goes to the end of the aisle and stops at the place of the officiant before putting the staff aside. With a move of the hand he makes sign to the attendants that it is time to sit before turning his stare to the groom... Wherever he might be. ]

[animusnpcs]

[Ruana and Zo appear just as everyone is sitting down for the ceremony, sitting in the back. They're dressed in formal ware, of course, and as they appear the entire room gets a bit of an upgrade. Nothing changes, but suddenly everything from the flowers to the ribbons to the seating looks as if it would cost countless thousands to afford. The meadow itself bursts into bloom with flowers from countless worlds.

Zo, delighted with this sudden change, grins at Ruana, who grins back at him and ruffles his hair like an older sister might to a favored little brother. Then they sit silently to watch.]

Post-wedding

[midgarhorizon]

[After all the drama at the wedding, the groom wasn't in the party sort of mood. He knew something would happen, and it sure did. He wasn't a superstition man, but that dark blot on their union just shrieked of heartbreak for the two.

Sulking, Reno sat on the central staircase, just above Floor 15. After that scene, he couldn't face them. Any of them. Especially Elena.]

[animusnpcs]

[Ruana appeared--well, she actually bounded down the stairs, but she hadn't been on the stairs at all a few moments before.]

Here you are. Hello.
