Wedding Game

[opening_act]

Who: Idols
Where: The Game Tower
When: Night, Day 57

[ As you climb into the elevators, wedding bells chime and the screens are enveloped in a rain of white feathers. Exael is on the screen, in her usual cute circus get-up, just all in white and her pill-box hat has a veil appended to it. ]

Atop the stage, a tragedy ends with death, and a comedy with marriage! Today, dear audience, we're going to try it the other way around! The marriage comes first, and we'll see if you're laughing at the end!

[ The elevator opens to a big hall, all other units gathered here with you. Your phone has a question for you, though: who on your unit will play the groom? And which of these lucky, anonymous brides will they choose to marry? ]

[just going to be fiddling with the background decoration controls, for lack of what else to do. a...garden?]

[floriographys]

[He'll come see Persephone while he's fiddling in the background.]

This is all a little nerve-wracking for a fake wedding, don't you think?

[forgottenmercy]

[nods in agreement. a lot of white flowers in the garden: white lilies, white roses. oops, not red camellias, going to change that to white ones. with a couple of yellow camellias as well.]

It's, ah, almost as nerve-wracking as a real one. At least it isn't, ah, permanent. [tilts head, birdlike]

Do you, ah, like this background, or should it be something else?

[floriographys]

Right. I don't think I could actually manage something like an... arranged wedding.

[He isn't sure he could manage a regular one either, but that's beside the point.]

I like this... Uh... Well, I think I'd really like some myosotis...

[forgottenmercy]

[his gentle smile turns briefly bitter at the mention of an arranged marriage, but it's a brief moment before it flickers back to the normal blank smile.] It's, ah, better that you won't have to.

Ah, forget-me-nots? [and going to fiddle with it more, to add them all over the garden. In very aesthetic arrangements.] Like, ah, this?

[floriographys]

Yeah...

[He's going to try to hide that he was less than happy. Even if it is a fake wedding, it was a fun light-hearted game. He wanted to allow everyone to be happy, even if this wasn't exactly the special occasion it was meant to be.]

Oh yes, that's perfect. Thank you, Persephone.

[forgottenmercy]

You're, ah, welcome.

[sensitiv, happy at weddings? us? not going to happen]

Would you, ah, like me to get you a cup of tea or something?

[floriographys]

[When ARE they happy though?]

...I think that'd be good... for me. I've got some nerves going on right now.

[forgottenmercy]

[good question.] Weddings are, ah...good for causing that. [says Persephone of the apparently unbreakable serenity.] But I'll, ah, be right back.

[and will go get the tea. comes back with a cup and a teapot. gracefully pouring Nya a cup and offering it to him.] Ah, here.

Re: sensitIV's wedding

[crossmyheartandhope]

Ooh. They let us do what we want with the decorations?

[He's in this thing.]

Re: sensitIV's wedding

[forgottenmercy]

It, ah, seems so.

That's, ah, a lovely dress.

Re: sensitIV's wedding

[crossmyheartandhope]

Thanks, dude. They had a ton back there.

Re: sensitIV's wedding

[forgottenmercy]

...ah, for a lot of choice?

Re: sensitIV's wedding

[crossmyheartandhope]

You know it.

Re: sensitIV's wedding

[forgottenmercy]

There are, ah, a lot of pretty choices.

Though I don't really, ah, understand the color still.

Re: sensitIV's wedding

[crossmyheartandhope]

The color?

Re: sensitIV's wedding

[forgottenmercy]

White for a wedding is, ah, odd.

Re: sensitIV's wedding

[crossmyheartandhope]

Oh - yeah. It's like funerals some places, right?

Re: sensitIV's wedding

[forgottenmercy]

[nods] Blue was, ah, the wedding color back home.

Re: sensitIV's wedding

[crossmyheartandhope]

Pretty sure white was for weddings where I was from.

Re: sensitIV's wedding

[forgottenmercy]

So this wouldn't be, ah, odd for you.

Re: sensitIV's wedding

[crossmyheartandhope]

Well, I mean, the whole marrying someone you've never met thing's kinda weird? But the decor, not so much.

Re: sensitIV's wedding

[forgottenmercy]

Is it, ah, really so strange? A lot of, ah, arranged marriages work like that.

Re: sensitIV's wedding

[crossmyheartandhope]

I guess that's true? You don't see a whole lot of that these days, though.

Re: sensitIV's wedding

[forgottenmercy]

Oh, ah, right, you come from an entirely different culture.
