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? ]

The Actual Goddamn Wedding

[puzzlekeeper]

[ King is in this, with a slit high enough to reveal shoes that could kill a man, naturally. And apparently getting ready to marry two people at once.

He's also looking like this is the funniest fucking thing to ever happen in his life. ]

Well then, if you're both quite done, should we get on with this unconventional union?

[Maki is now in this dress, claw scars across her chest and arms faintly visible through the mesh, and her hair done up something like the top left.]

I'm ready now.

[Still in this suit and with much less bravado now that winning has been actually accomplished. Now he actually has to do the thing, which is suddenly much more daunting then it was when he accepted Eve's challenge. That and it never occurred to him until this moment that Maki would still have scars from when he attempted to rip out her heart as a dragon.

Well.

Then.]

Let's get this fucking over with.

[Stepping in between them so there is one bride on each side of him]

[SUDDEN SMOKEBOMB

and then there's C standing there in a white suit with light purple pinstripes, hair pulled back in a ponytail and holding a book titled "Holy Bible(?)" (the pages are completely blank and he is just making stuff up)]

I couldn't have said it better myself!

Ladies and gentlemen and volleyballs in the distance! We gather here today to officially bless this unholy threesome! Though honestly Intensity should be standing next to Maki cuz then your heights would make it as if you're a stair case! Climbing this never ending hall of life called LOVE!

Anyway are there rings? There should be rings!

Re: The Actual Goddamn Wedding

[puzzlekeeper]

[ God is NOT in this Chili's tonight ]

Shouldn't rings be the groom's job? Imagine doing things halfheartedly on the most important day of your life...

Re: The Actual Goddamn Wedding

[rollplayinghouse]

[Why is C here. This makes this substantially less romantic.]

Re: The Actual Goddamn Wedding

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

King... you fucking---

[Halfhearted?! He'll show you halfhearted---!!!]

Blue Eyes. Go find some fucking rings.

[Guess who is going to abuse his pet robot dragon for everything little thing now? Yeah, this guy. And on command, the Blue Eyes flies off to go look for some goddamn rings.

Turning back to C:]

She'll have them by the time you get to that part -- assuming you're not making this shit up as you go.

Re: The Actual Goddamn Wedding

[neigh_sayer]

Intensity I am an OFFICIAL man of Words I would never do that. This is a sacred ceremony!

Which is to say your assistant has five minutes to find the rings or this venue will go up in smoke.

ANYWAY, on with the filler fluff! Today these three will join each other in a union that transcends time, space, heaven, and hell. . .it's a long time coming, and yet, who could have seen it? I didn't even know King knew Maki! And yet, this somehow works. Intensity has displayed his love for strong personalities in compact packages once more, willing to go the extra mile to win his beloved's hands no matter the cost! And I mean, getting two brides out of it isn't a bad deal. Plus that means Maki will get a lot of good shit if he kicks the bucket after becoming king of hell or whatever!

Yes, this is truly fate! So now we move on. . .to the vows. Please recite your vows to one another. Preferably in less than four minutes.

[ Oh, are they giving speeches? Is that what this is?

Fine, he can absolutely manage that. CLEARING HIS THROAT. ]

Re: The Actual Goddamn Wedding

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He turns to Maki, taking her hand. ]

To Maki! My original groom, lest we forget, who didn't back down from a challenge and committed herself to being the best groom possible, regardless of circumstances. To her, I commit myself as an exceptional bride in return, even if our roles have changed as the result of a questionable amount of cheating. May this accident of fate lead us into a long and productive friendship! Yes, certainly this was meant to be!

Re: The Actual Goddamn Wedding

[puzzlekeeper]

[ And then turning to Intensity. Not taking his hand tho. ]

To Intensity, I vow only two things:

First, to never let you forget that we're bound by matrimony thanks to your own impulsiveness, and second, to ensure you never forget your place as second fiddle.

[ you absolute tremendous dumbshit ]

[THIS IS THE BEST SHOW EVER]

Re: The Actual Goddamn Wedding

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ I mean it is but ]

They know this isn't for real, right?

Re: The Actual Goddamn Wedding

[liarliarliar]

Sshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

[dragonheartedgirl]

....

Fine, I'll go along with this.

[ she owes you and C and well if it makes Maki happy but this is just. some next level shit. ]

Re: The Actual Goddamn Wedding

[nohalation]

Gosh, I hope so. Even I know it's pretend.

[dragonheartedgirl]

Yeah, but they've gotten really into this.

[ It's really impressive, actually. I mean. It's probably 90% competition factor to Intensity, but still. ]

I had no idea he felt so strongly about Maki.

Re: The Actual Goddamn Wedding

[sonof]

Does that need be the case, really?

[dragonheartedgirl]

What's that supposed to mean, exactly?

[sonof]

To begin with, marriage simply means whatever the families happen to make of it. If we so liked, there isn’t any reason we couldn’t consider it a formal, binding arrangement after all.

Re: The Actual Goddamn Wedding

[unbr8kable]

[did actually bring popcorn]

Do you really think those guys do anything halfway? Get ready for your new in-laws.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ god ]

Can you imagine the children?

[unbr8kable]

Real loud or real dangerous. Or both.
