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))

Well, you have amnesia.

Also, my standards for emotional maturity are very low.

[auguryofinnocence]

Does amnesia have anything to do with that?

[The amnesia is actually making him significantly better...]

[rollplayinghouse]

...

[she takes a moment to consider that, actually]

I think it depends. Some people are just good at it naturally... but some people change from their experiences. Positively or negatively.

[auguryofinnocence]

Well, of course. But if someone can't make sense of or express their feelings well, I would think that means they're just like that. One's experiences don't tend to improve something like that.

[Unless they've had a lot of good therapy or something?]

You've heard about how I was from the others, right? So you have the benefit of knowing that too when judging my ability.

[rollplayinghouse]

...I don't acrtually know that much about you. Just a few incidents. And I have to assume they're not representative of your whole life.

[He can't have spent his whole life ripping arms off, abandoning children and cutting open space. Probably.

She sets her jaw.]

And I don't agree. I've been working on improving my ability to make sense of and express my feelings for months. I'm still not great at it, but I'm definitely better.

[auguryofinnocence]

[you would be surprised.........]

That's...impressive really if you can manage to just...work on it. I'm a bit jealous.

[rollplayinghouse]

Well, "just work on it" makes it sound a lot easier than it's been.

[auguryofinnocence]

Well, no, that's not what I mean. I didn't mean to trivialise it.

[rollplayinghouse]

...I'm sure you can work on it too, if you want to. Well, you're doing it a bit already, aren't you? With Nero.

[auguryofinnocence]

...I suppose that's more or less the same, yes. But that isn't going well.

[rollplayinghouse]

Plenty of things I've done went very badly too. And you've been at it for, what, a week?

Give it at least a couple of months before deciding you're just fundamentally incompetent.

[auguryofinnocence]

[He sighs, waving a hand.]

Yes, I know. This just happens to be something of particular importance.

[rollplayinghouse]

...I know. It wouldn't be worth trying if it wasn't important.

[auguryofinnocence]

...I suppose he told you all about it, didn't he. Did everyone know well before me?

[rollplayinghouse]

...I wouldn't say he told me all about it. But I... had a similar situation to his, growing up, so we talked about that a bit. And I've seen some of his memories, and Raven's.

[auguryofinnocence]

Ah, right, I nearly forgot Raven's in your unit. He seems like the kind of person who would just dress that way regardless. Now I understand your reaction to me a bit better.

[rollplayinghouse]

Do you...?

There is that. But I was also friends with Nero long before Raven got here.
