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))

Look. I do not believe you as delicate as others seem to think. Shy, yes, but certainly if you wanted to, you'd tell me to piss off.

All the same I have rather taken advantage of you humoring me. I'd like to spend some time at activities you find enjoyable, that we might both find favorable. Just as a friend. Nothing more.

[auguryofinnocence]

The last thing I would want anyone to think of me as is delicate.

[He's right though, if he was actually angry he'd make it well known. He's been thoroughly shamed but it's still amusing and profitable enough to put up with.]

Well I suppose I'd like that.

[unskippablecutscene]

Take issue with others then. I've never thought of you as such.

In any case, I'm glad to hear it. I would enjoy a quieter time with a friend. Amusing as all this is, I'll confess it's not actually my cup of tea.

[auguryofinnocence]

Honesty does suit you better. I suppose something could be found on the phones? You should tell me what you do like, thematically, or a genre at least.

[unskippablecutscene]

On the subject of honesty do not doubt I will take full advantage of your easy-going nature for more profit.

But as for genre, any should suit. I do not believe I'm so picky.

[auguryofinnocence]

Good, I have an awful lot of memories to buy back. Thanks to you I have enough for more than I could take in one sitting.

Where do you want to go then, Taisho or Baritones?

[unskippablecutscene]

And your friends are concerned that I abuse you. I am glad to help.

Baritones has a private theatre if you would like a large screen.

[auguryofinnocence]

My friends? I think you're mistaken.

[He doesn't have any of those!]

Well that sounds better than straining my poor old eyes. Why not.

[unskippablecutscene]

Right right.

We still need something suitable to watch though. I suppose we can decide there.

[auguryofinnocence]

Depends what we find. If you liked that book though I might have a few suggestions.

[unskippablecutscene]

Suggest away.

[auguryofinnocence]

There's Faust, about a man who sells his soul to a demon. Salome, which is famous for the titular character receiving the head of her would-be lover on a platter. Or maybe Bluebeard's Castle, which is difficult to describe, a new wife persuades her husband to reveal all his secrets, suspecting something horrific.

[unskippablecutscene]

[I Knew Your Taste Was Like This.]

Faust sounds like an apropos place to start.

[auguryofinnocence]

[He knew...exactly what to ask about. Sex, gore, demons,]

Good choice, Yvette will be pleased to know you've been educated in it. It's very on the nose for this place.

[unskippablecutscene]

[He knew!!]

I would not have thought Yvette from your world. Perhaps one similar?

[auguryofinnocence]

At least one with the same culture, yes. I don't know anything about it otherwise, so who can say.

[unskippablecutscene]

I wonder how many worlds share similarities.

[auguryofinnocence]

Quite a few, I think. Which may have to do with this city being based on one from said world.

[unskippablecutscene]

Is that it? It's a wholly unfamiliar sort of city to me.

[auguryofinnocence]

I expected as much, I know nothing of your world, but based on Noah's appearance and your manners of speech, I expect it must be far removed.

[unskippablecutscene]

Is his appearance that odd? To be honest I've found it strange this place is almost exclusively made of Hyur.

[auguryofinnocence]

Hyur? Is that your word for human? Everyone in my world is, and in most others represented here I imagine.

[unskippablecutscene]

Well. For humans that look like you and I. It's strange to think of worlds without diverse races. Are beastmen also a strange concept to you?

[auguryofinnocence]

Put it this way, in my world human simply means anyone who looks like us. That's the only type of person.

[unskippablecutscene]

Interesting. To me, we'd be Hyur, Emet-Selch a Garlean, Noah and the two girls on Avante and Zreal Mi'qote. And there are many other races besides.
