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))

Of course, but I won't pretend to play part to a facade like that.

Not that... Vergil couldn't use some friends.

[unskippablecutscene]

Another of those from his world I take it, Raven? Well. I am doing my best to be his friend. I'm not entirely sure he appreciates it.

[selfpreservationist]

I can't imagine why not.

[unskippablecutscene]

I haven't a clue. I'm a wonderful friend.

[selfpreservationist]

You're... certainly something.

[unskippablecutscene]

Come now. If I truly hurt his feelings I shall make up for it. He is my friend, after all. But it is nice to know someone worries for him. I was beginning to get the impression those from his world didn't like him much, to their lose.

[selfpreservationist]

His situation is... complicated. I neither hate him nor love him; he simply is what he is.

[cryptic, raven]

I just don't think of him as someone particularly... personable. So you can see why I'm surprised.

[unskippablecutscene]

That was rather cryptic.

The man has no memories, whether he's personable or not, he's open to friendship at least. I, for one, am glad of that and shall take full advantage. As he and I have no history, we're free to write one together. I find that most exciting.

What of you? Do you remember a history with him that makes you hesitate or is it the words of others that sways you?

[selfpreservationist]

[hmmm, what to tell him]

... I am a close friend of his son. As for my own history with him, that remains my business.

[unskippablecutscene]

I see. I take it his relationship with his son is no better than that with his brother?

[selfpreservationist]

It's... marginally better. But only just.

[unskippablecutscene]

Low bar, but it's something.

[selfpreservationist]

You'd have to ask Nero for his own thoughts on the matter. That's just... my estimation.

[unskippablecutscene]

I see. Sounds like your whole world crew has their complications.

[selfpreservationist]

[dryly]

More than you know.

[unskippablecutscene]

You could tell me.

[selfpreservationist]

Oh, no. You'll have to work much, much harder than that to pry my secrets out of me.

[unskippablecutscene]

Work hm? Not sure I'm interested in the notion. How about a drink instead?

[selfpreservationist]

That's taking the easy way out. But I'll have a glass of shiraz anyway.

[unskippablecutscene]

I like things easy.

[Providing though.]

[selfpreservationist]

[takes the glass and swirls it before sipping]

Not bad.

[unskippablecutscene]

Happy to be appreciated.

You seem pensive. Or maybe that's just how you always look.

[selfpreservationist]

That's just my face.

[he could be lying, but it could also be Brooding Time (tm)]

And... like I said. It'll take more than just a few glasses to get me to tell you my secrets.

[unskippablecutscene]

You needn't whisper secrets in my ear. If what's on your chest is so dear go shoo towards a confidant. Whether you tell me things or not won't change my stance on you lot. But you do look in need of someone to talk to. And I'm not so kind I will refrain from commenting on it.

[selfpreservationist]

[drinks]

I'll keep my whispers to myself, thanks.
