Live triple threat!

[unskippablecutscene]

Who: Cosmo, Marnie, the Grand Master of Ceremonies Ligrev, and you!
Where: the lobby
When: Day 244 noon

[It’s the lobby, there’s like, not much special going on, but Vergil is in a big robe and pointy hat and false beard obscuring himself as much as possible. The massive size of the beard helps muffle his voice a bit too. Marnie is just hanging out nursing a drink, basically. Cosmo has set up a table of drinks.]

Good morning/afternoon/evening, please set all cellular devices to silent during the ceremony or they will be confiscated. ...Good enough? [HE IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE the disguise was not enough.]

Marriage! Fuckin' cute, right? Choosing someone to be bound to for life! Ain't nothin' more romantic, if you're into it! And if you're not, well, we're just fuckin' around, so no worries there. But we've got a theme to pander to, so let's have some fun!

[What we have here is actually a man who is terrible at monologuing. Does he get points for effort?]

[Cosmo raises a glass of champagne in a toast.]

Thank you Ligrev, Grand Master of Ceremonies! Thank you Marnie! We should work on a title for you shouldn’t we.

And with all that said, anyone who comes by now can marry one of these three eligible* bachelors**! Just point at your choice and the other two will see the wedding done… Somehow or other. Personally I recommend Ligrev, a serious older gentleman with a distinguished aura. Then again, if eye-candy is your thing you can’t beat Marnie. Naturally I, Cosmo, am a catch.

Of course you can bring your own bride or groom if you like, too.

Well, who will come get married?

[Ligrev starts to back away from the scene the moment they’re all offered as possibly eligible possibly bachelors. Hopefully no one will notice if they’re distracted. This was not part of the deal.]

((Zreal, Baritones, and Taisho get host bonus, all participants get theme bonus + 3 host bonus, come bully Vergil or get hitched what happens in hell stays in hell))

[Raven, please. He wants to die even more now. But clearly he isn't recognised because he has a VERY GOOD disguise that no one will ever see through. So he's going to just try to not make eyecontact to give it away.]

[selfpreservationist]

[vergil, please]

Ligrev? Really?

[auguryofinnocence]

....

[That's doubt in his voice isn't it. He shouldn't have trusted Cosmo for a minute.]

....Yes. You don't get to say anything, V. Anyway it was his idea.

[Jabbing a thumb over his shoulder at Cosmo]

[selfpreservationist]

[honestly he can't talk, half his team calls him inky or twodles]

The Live or the disguise? Because one is acceptable, the other is just sad.

[auguryofinnocence]

Both actually.

[But he legitimately thought the disguise and pseudonym were good ideas, so. Really.]

[selfpreservationist]

Did you really think no one was going to recognize you?

[auguryofinnocence]

[Yes]

...Of course not. It was just a stupid idea he had.

[selfpreservationist]

And you went along with it. Because you're so fond of stupid ideas.

[auguryofinnocence]

It was amusing enough when it wasn't a means to ridicule me.

[selfpreservationist]

[nods in cosmo's direction]

That kind of man... is practically dripping with charisma. You can never trust the motives of someone like that.

[auguryofinnocence]

Those were my thoughts exactly, actually. But I...guess I let my guard down.

[selfpreservationist]

[quietly, mostly to himself]

You're... not the kind of man I imagined you'd be.

[auguryofinnocence]

I keep hearing that. What did you imagine? That's what no one will say.

[selfpreservationist]

Someone much crueler and intolerable. Someone not worthy of forgiveness or sympathy.

[auguryofinnocence]

...I see. I appreciate your honesty.

[It certainly isn't what anyone would want to hear. But at least someone finally gave him something.]

You're not entirely wrong though, I don't intend to be cruel but I won't take things like games lying down. I'm fine with playing ruthlessly.

[selfpreservationist]

That's not objectionable, considering I tend to be the same way. I guess I should... temper my expectations.

[auguryofinnocence]

It's only natural someone wouldn't be the same, right? You must be quite different yourself. But I don't fault any of you for your expectations, that's just as natural. At least you and Nero are giving me some chance.

[selfpreservationist]

...

It... matters more that you're able to mend your relationship with Nero. If he's giving you a chance... then, you're far from hopeless.

[auguryofinnocence]

...I'm...trying. It's not going well so far, I'm not exactly good with people to begin with.

[selfpreservationist]

I know.

But you're doing better than you think.

[auguryofinnocence]

...Did he tell you so?

[There's that hint of desperation again.

Pls does Nero like me]

[selfpreservationist]

[MYSTERY]

You still have a long ways to go. But don't let that discourage you. Keep trying.

[auguryofinnocence]

Ah, cryptic as always.

But...I know, I won't. I can't make it much worse, anyway.

[selfpreservationist]

You can, believe me. Just... don't get complacent.

[auguryofinnocence]

There's nothing to get complacent about, I'm barely treading water.
