graduation x4!

[idolpro]

Who: Arya, Sabre, Aster, Kohime, future is now, ☆ZRAEL, Heart Soldier Senshi, avante en garde, other invited guests
Where: Heaven Graduate Visitation Center
When: Day 381, before the game

[ The 7th, 8th, and 9th floors of the Heaven Graduate Visitation Center are closed today! VIP invited guests only have the QR code on their phone invites that'll grant them access to the 7th floor, where they'll be sent through to get fitted in appropriate wedding attendance clothing—nothing that would outshine the brides, of course.

For the bridesmaids—that is, the graduate visitors—their outfits might be particularly . . . distinctive. Which is to say that a few of them may have been assigned french maid outfits. Well, like, they're maids, so …???

After getting dressed for the occasion, guests may go to the 8th and 9th floors, but guests might want to get gifts for the brides first! The 8th floor has ~wedding souvenirs and merchandise~, including a wedding-themed purikura booth and also wedding gifts for people to "purchase" (it's all free) if they forgot to get gifts for the brides. It's mostly, like, cat treats and military equipment (sans weapons) as well as pony-themed stuff. There are also, in case anyone actually cares anything for it, themed gifts, e.g. old things, new things, borrowed things (oh is THAT where your socks went), blue things. . . and of course, there are plenty of flowers.

Once guests are well and fully ready, they'll be able to go to the 9th floor, which has been decorated appropriately both inside and out in the garden patio to look like a church, or at the very least a wedding venue. There's a display of foods available for guests if they like, but it's all, uhmm . . .

Well, there are cakes, and there are also cakes that are distinctly meaty-smelling. Because they're made of meat. The big wedding cake with little figurines of all four brides at the top is split directly in the middle, half made of cakestuff on one side and half made of meatstuff on the other side. If guests aren't really hungry for dessert, there's also entrees—burgers and fried rice and sushi primarily—but know that there isn't a single leaf of vegetable anywhere here. This is an obligate carnivore wedding.

Out on the balcony is a red carpet, and little plaques for Arya and Aster to stand when they're ready for their brides to come out. Whenever Kohime and Sabre do decide to go out to the balcony, trumpets sound and canned recordings of cheering voices play, along with rounds of applause and their names chanted on repeat, like there are crowds of adoring fans just out of sight.

There's a microphone at the end of the carpeted path, where Arya and Aster stand, and behind them are two doors—one is black and silver, and one is bronze and gold—for when they're ready to leave. ]

[There's a longish box addressed to Aster and Kohime; it's neatly wrapped with purple and green ribbons. Inside are a set of knife sheathes, white leather trimmed in gold, and a matching sheath for a sword, white edged with bronze.]

[Someone has left another box for Sabre and Arya, also neatly wrpped in green and purple ribbons. This one contains a deluxe BBQ sampler with enough food to feed ten people, dry smoked and packed to travel]

[ For: Kohime & Aster ❤️
With Love: Song Hana ( D.Va )

[ it's probably harder to find the card than the gift. it's a tank with a big pink snake scaled bow on it. ]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ there's a new whip sword for Sabre! ]

[unbr8kable]

[Nemesis is also here, hovering awkwardly coolly in the back]

This some kinda wedding stamp rally or something...?

[purrrnicious]

[Swishing her tail cuz she's real fukkin pleased.]

This is our, like, 40th marriage by now.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Also hovering in the back and possibly even more awkward, but he is here to say goodbye at least,]

[If anyone happens to swing by the back of the room:]

...hey. Congrats.

[adorabilities]

Oh! Thanks. I'm glad you came.

[purrrnicious]

[There are gifts set out for the following people:

Nemesis, Amaranth, Gold, Cardinal, D.Va, Five, Ruby/Paloma (joint), Intensity

Upon opening a box (poorly wrapped, and tied with a ribbon that may or may not be recognizable as one of the ribbons from the Valentine's chocolate boxes from like 2 years back, a little frayed but otherwise in good shape) they can find:

A brooch, or what looks like it was meant to be one -- only some sort of small solar-powered battery pack has been Frankenstein'd onto it with some FiN magic.

The explanation is that both destination worlds (Etheria) aren't exactly new to multiple dimensions or travelling through them -- the gift-receiver can destroy the brooch if they want, but if they keep it, it's a magically-enhanced tracker -- the hope is that siccing a certain tech-obsessed Princess from Etheria with experience building inter-dimensional portals on it will mean someday she'll be able to track it, and build a portal connecting the two worlds.

The hope is for someday meeting again!

And there's an open invitation for anyone who doesn't want to return to their own world to instead come to Etheria.

[ he'll take it and put it on his clothes pretty much as soon as he sees his name and the message in it, trying his best not to look too emotional but maybe he is just a little bit ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Pocketing his own gift in the ruffles of his maid skirt (thanks, Imeeji).]

Congratulations. It looks like this time you're not the one being left behind.

[420blazeit]

[ ouch,
my feelings. ]

[ she's going to pocket the brooch. ]

[deicider]

[Cardinal very nearly bursts into tears. They manage to blink them away, and attach the brooch to their jacket.]

[unbr8kable]

[She's a little wary when opening the rumpled box, but when finally opens it up to see what's inside--]

[Oh]

[...Careful, she takes the brooch and surreptitiously pins it on]

[calmthefoxdown]

[ Studying the brooch with a smile. ]

... I'll definitely hold onto this. Ya gotta stop by when I've got my own restaurant for a bite.

[adorabilities]

[ she's fidgeting slightly but! Aster is here and available for final goodbyes. ]

This is it...

[leaveofabsence]

[ Coming over to put a hand on her shoulder ]

This is such a big day for you in more ways than one.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ Man☆Eater is back for the occasion, as is his maid outfit—though he doesn't seem the least bit fazed by it. (and for those who haven't seen him in a while, possibly more eye-catching than the outfit is that his former mountain of hair has been cut into a short bob.)

with a plate of meat cake, he observes the whole scene with a thoughtful hum. ]

So this is a real deal wedding... Huh, some of it's a little different than I pictured.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Maid outfit buddies]

I'm pretty sure meat cake is not standard wedding fare anywhere. Even from the planet of ration bars.

[regale]

[ Hi, he is clapping so explosively that he might be shedding confetti. ]

[marsascending]

Kyaaa, I'm so happy for you all! Ah, look at you. Beautiful.

[purrrnicious]

Did you guys put this together?

[selfpreservationist]

[raven is calmly and unobtrusively wallflowering, and he's carrying a small bouquet of roses that are both black and white, waiting for one of the brides]

[deicider]

What a spread.

[avestan]

[sulking in a corner

angy]

[420blazeit]

[ no traces of tears now! ] Look at all of you! so beautiful~! Congratulations and HAPPY WEDDING DAY!

[purrrnicious]

[She just hugs her. Like, initiates it herself and everything, be proud of her.]

It'll be weird. You know, not having you around.

[we_meet_again]

All four of you at the same time...

Congratulations...!

[purrrnicious]

Honestly, they probably just can't keep us straight and decided to dump us all. The record-keeping in this place is awful.
