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))

Kinda excited to see who takes the bait.

That's exactly the kind of person I don't want to know.

Even when they're the one type'a person you might have a chance with?

Nero had to have come about somehow.

See I'm still really goddamn confused about how that happened.

The usual way. Or do you need the talk?

I'm amazed someone did the deed with you when you got the charm of a plank of wood.

Some people have different taste in good company. I guess you wouldn't have any idea of nuance.

Sooo you are calling yourself marriage material?

....No. That's different.

[Is it though?? Shit.]

Aaand how's it different?

Well we don't seem to have married.

You were kinda doin' a lot at that age. I woulda been impressed for a lotta reasons if you managed it.

Was I?

[Want to share with the class, Dante?]

Yeahh, there was a whole demon uprising thing you were helping out with.

[ off-handedly. ]

["helping out with" makes it sound like he was trying to fight it back.]

What happened, you too?

I was tryin' to stop 'em.

...I was one of them? That - that doesn't make sense.

[He glowers at Dante - clearly he's lying just to make him upset. There's no way he would do that after their home being destroyed, their mother killed.]

[ there's another shrug, casual, as if he couldn't care in the slightest. ]

Believe what you wanna believe. I'm not tryin' to sugarcoat anything for you.

Evidently not. But that doesn't mean your memory serves you either.

And what's supposed to mean?

Can you be sure you really know what you're talking about? If you hate me to begin with, you might just choose to assume or see the worst in anything.

[ wow he seems to take actual offense to that, pointing at him. ]

Hey. I know what you did. And I know you had your reasons for it too.

Doesn't excuse or justify anything.

Hm. That's a surprising amount of nuance from you.

I spent enough time dealing with your shit to get a real nuanced perspective.
