The wedding part 2

The next morning everyone slowly starts to wake up and gather downstairs

Majin walks downstairs

Ah, I'm so excited! Everyone is here, too! (Fixing her dress)This'll be fun!

Everyone is excited, Fernessa. Not just you. But I appreciate your enthusiasm. (Checking her makeup in the mirror)

(adjusting her dress in the mirror)

I'm just glad everyone seems happy for us.

They are, but Astarion is a little jaded from what I believe. Nearly every girl here is marrying someone he doesn't like.

I thought there were no hard feelings...

There isn't. Between all of us at least.

He's just bitter he wants what he can't have.

You sure you're not being harsh teasing him like that?....

Oh he'll be fine...

{Goes upstairs to check on the girls.} Ladies! Everyone alright, no issues I hope?

Hey Astarion! (She greets him with a smile) I was wondering where you were. You think you can help with makeup? I tried to copy the girls, but....I ended up just washing it off.(small nervous chuckle)

And none of you bitches helped? Of course darling, lets get you fixed up.{proceeds to start on her makeup, managing to highlight her natural beauty without overdoing it, a lesson some of the others could learn}There we are. perfect...

(shocked)Did you just....Honestly, I'm not surprised. It is you, after all. (Smiles) Good job.

Thank you! (Hugs him)I love it!

Aww, you did amazing, Astarion.

He is one hell of a fashionista

Well someone has to be... darlings.

You're the best. Ignore Rilith.

I'm not even being bitchy this time

That's true, I haven't heard a single insult since yesterday.....Can't imagine why....

Would you like me to insult you, Mosquito~?(smirks)

If you're going to call me a mosquito, i'm going to do what a mosquito does best.....

Then do it. I can just cover it up.

Here?....NOW?!?

And ruin your dress, even I'm not that cruel darling...

Wait, these are anti-Astarion shields? I'm never taking this thing off...

Shadowheart!

They aren't that important. I can always make you a new one in a pinch.

Shadowheart you are ruthless! It's something I admire. (Smirks)

{Leans in to Rilith and whispers} It's not like I haven't thought about it, but I'm gonna make him earn this godly pussy. Because I don't need him, but he's gonna want this...

(whispers to Shadowheart: Why don't you tease the others like that?....Tease me like that?

You've already had it... and besides, you didn't ask for it.... He clearly wants it. So i'm going to make him work for it.

(gasp and whispers: Oh, you minx! I love your style!)

You see that's the trick. If you can hold out, do it. Make them want it so bad it consumes their every thought, they'll envision it in their head so often and in so many ways that by the time it finally happens, they can't contain themselves, their excitement, or ...{she gestures} you know...

Majin walks around since he didn't had anything else to do

Maijn.....!{her excitement is palpable} There you are..... Come here... I need your help...

Is something wrong? Majin goes towards Karlach

Wrong. Gods no.... I wanted to thank you. You were so right. I should go after what I want... {she hugs him} Will you help me?

Oh. I see what u thinking. smirks I'll see what I can do.

{hugs you} Thank you so much.... I knew I could count on you... Try to get him into the Study... it's empty... I'll hide in there. Use whatever excuse you need to get him to go in there.

Hmm. Ok. hugs back and goes looking for Araavos

So, has anyone given thought as to who's going to walk you?

I'm asking Gale to

Araavos is in the lounge

I wanna ask Milo. I love my Dad, but...Milo is my closest friend.

Nazmir and I are walking down side by side.

Yep!

I...I thought of Astarion, but I don't know if he's up for it...

Majin goes to the lounge and walks towards Araavos Hey, Araavos. Can u take me to the study?

It's right next door, you passed it on the way over here.

Well, what do you think, Astarion?

....

Amm. I kinda get lost sometimes and have a incredibly bad sense of direction. Could u acompany me there? Yk, take the lead?

{still working on Shadowhearts dress} Hmm? Sorry I wasn't paying attention.

That's because you're trying to be sneaky and snag a feel...

I would nev...... ok maybe I would, but not this time, I'm trying to be professional here....

She wants to know if you'll walk her down the isle dumbass, now hurry up and say yes so you can fix this dress and quit touching my damned breasts already.

Of course Fernessa, I'd be honored...

Umm... sure, but I have to get ready soon... I don't have a lot of time.

I know, I know. Would u take the lead?

Gets up and starts walking towards the Study

(eyes light up) Really???

Of course, for you.

Majin smiles and as soon as he sees Araavos stepping inside the Study he gonna close the door

spins around What the?

Araavos?

spins around again Karlach.... what are you doing here? What's going on?

I............. I needed to ask you something.

Alright, but why all the theatrics?

Because it's....... well it's kinda important.

Anything... what is it?

You know I've liked you for a while.... and I see the way you are with the other girls. And I know you're probably overwhelmed already, and this probably isn't the best time, and you probably don't like me that much anyway, but I couldn't help myself, I can't stop thinking about it, and well I was wondering if... maybe... that is if you wanted to.... I mean.. Of course you wouldn't have to... and.. this is stupid, I should go. I don't wanna.......

Oh gods..... we've got to get you ready... and quick.... Rilith, Shadowheart, get started on the hair. Axel, Fernessa, go see what fabrics you can gather from the mansion, tear down the drapes if you have to.

(dashes for a hairbrush and some accessories) We got this, Karlach, don't worry!

(looking for makeup) There's gotta be something that blends with her skintone...

Majin walks towards Araavos Sorry for lying, I had to come up for an excuse to get u there. scratches the back of his head U not mad, right?

Of course not, you were helping a friend.

smiles I mean, u gonna be the future GODfather of my future children. tries not to laugh cause of the pun

collecting the scraps from Axel and Fernessa begins to work his magic.

Karlach's dress is a stunning blend of elegance and strength, carefully crafted from various scrap materials. The bodice, form-fitting and tailored, accentuates her muscular frame while simultaneously highlighting her soft, feminine features. The dress is a deep, midnight blue, a striking contrast against her red skin tone. The fabric shimmers with a hint of iridescence, catching the light in a subtle play of colors. A delicate lace overlay adorns the shoulders, creating a graceful neckline that frames her face. The dress flows into a sweeping, A-line skirt, offering both freedom of movement and a touch of regality. As she moves, the fabric rustles softly, echoing the duality of her nature—barbarian strength intertwined with a hidden grace. The ensemble is completed with a simple yet elegant silver sash, cinched at the waist, adding a touch of refinement to the improvised masterpiece. Despite its hurried creation, Karlach's dress radiates a unique charm, embodying the spirit of resourcefulness and individuality.

It's not much, but.... spins Karlach around to face the mirror what do you think?

I'm.................beautiful...

Wait, what? I don't want any kids. You know that's part of the job, right? If you die, I have to raise it.

Majin laughs We plasmoids reach maturity once we are born. So it won't be kids, and I trust u to train them and teach them what's correct. smiles

Awww, you look absolutely radiant, Karlach! (Smiles brightly)

I think this is a great color for you. You know how to pick them, Astarion.

Think she'll be an amazing addition to the harem. We thought you'd never ask him.

You okay, Karlach? You're crying...

I'm ok... hugs astarion thank you.... turns to the girls bring it in girls. Thank all of you. You didn't have to do this....

(All 4 hug her)

I can train some things I suppose, but godhood? divine power? Those you kinda have to be born with.

Well, I want u to train them so they can defend themselves specially the one that inherits the powers. I want u to teach him not to use it unless it's an emergency.

You can only teach so much self control. The rest is gonna come down to the individual.

So when is all this supposed to start?

No idea, I think we're waiting for everyone downstairs to gather but some I believe are either still sleeping or something.

Eventually we're just going to have to go without them.

(frowns)....Are you sure?

Unfortunatly, she's right.

Majin nods Now, lets focus on ur wedding. It is ur day afterall.

But....(looks down. She had hoped her other friends would be present...) ....Okay.

Araavos, the Astral Elf God, dons a divine tuxedo that seamlessly weaves together elements inspired by each of the brides' dresses, creating a celestial ensemble befitting his godly presence. The base of the tuxedo is a regal black, reminiscent of Shadowheart's elegant and dramatic attire. Intricate patterns, resembling celestial constellations and echoing Rilith's cosmic gown, adorn the lapels and cuffs, shimmering with an ethereal glow that captures the essence of the Astral Plane. The silver sash from Karlach's dress is elegantly incorporated, serving as a cummerbund that cinches Araavos' waist. Delicate lace overlays, similar to those on Karlach's dress, add a touch of sophistication. The iridescence seen on Nazmir's dress is reflected in subtle yet mesmerizing details throughout the fabric. Enchanted gems, mirroring the vibrant and colorful aspects of Elandra's joyful wedding dress, embellish the tuxedo's buttons and cufflinks. Fernessa's floral theme is woven into the ensemble with delicate embroidery, showcasing soft and feminine details. Axel's preference for silver and emerald green is represented in the intricate embroidery and accents, providing a nod to the goddess Chantae. The overall design harmonizes these diverse elements, creating a regal and otherworldly tuxedo that pays homage to the unity of the brides and their unique styles.

Majin claps excited It looks worthy of a god.

I can't take all the credit. Astarion made it, he just didn't tell me why he insisted on doing so.

Araavos has not seen the dresses, he has no idea what parts of the design are what.

smirks as he might think why Just wait and see cause I think I know why.

Right.

Majin sighs Well, what do u wanna do for the time been?

Not sure, but people should start finishing up and getting ready, it's gonna start soon.

We all ready, or...

Well ladies, finish up. It's gonna start soon...

I'm ready when you all are.

As am I

Wait, but Milo isn't here....

Axel, sweetheart, you're just going to have to walk down the aisle alone....I'm sorry....

Her father's here isn't he?

Right. He is.

So ask him silly.

Okay. (Goes to find her father)

And let people see you? Like hells. I'll go find him and bring him up here.

Yes, I do...

Hold it right there, Mister!

Milo?!?

{Is really out of breath.} Yeah… Sorry, pumpkin. The ale was sale.

Oh no...Uhm...Why not both of you???

Well…

Yes

{He glances to the progenitor of Axel.} You reckon they’ll write this down in some history book?

I mean, I don't know...

If’n yer Pa will allow me, I’ll do. But if he wants to, he can.

I'd like both if possible

{As he waits for an answer, he realises how he may have ruined the moment.} Shit… sorry fee intrudin’.

I think they only allow one. It's your wedding daughter, I know he's special to you. I'll understand if you want him to.

Okay. (hugs her father tightly before taking Milo's arm)When it's our turn, we'll go, okay?

{Clears his throat.} Yup.

We agreed it's in order, right? Well, first is Shadowheart.

Alexander's voice resonates through the grand mansion, reaching every corner as he announces, "Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests, please find your places as the sacred union of Araavos and his beloved brides is about to commence. Let the celebration of love and unity begin!" As his words fade, a hushed excitement fills the air, and the guests gracefully make their way to their designated seats, eager to witness the divine ceremony that is about to unfold. The anticipation is palpable, and the mansion's atmosphere is charged with the magic of the impending union.

{Is excited for his not-daughter’s wedding.}

With regal poise, Alexander steps forward, offering Shadowheart his arm. As they make their way toward the altar, the soft rustle of her elegant dress accompanies the solemn footsteps. The ethereal glow of the enchanted mansion illuminates the path, casting a warm ambiance around the duo. Reaching the sacred space where Araavos eagerly awaits, Alexander gracefully places Shadowheart's hand in his. A moment of silent connection passes between the cleric and the host, a symbolic gesture of trust and companionship. With a nod of acknowledgment, Alexander takes his place among the gathering, ready to witness the divine union of Araavos and his brides in the enchanted celebration.

{Somewhere in the area, drawing several stills of the event. Making sure to capture the essence of this moment. The love, which will transcend likely lifetimes.}

Baracus?...Where is that bird? He's supposed to walk me down nthe aisle?

{He teleports next to Nazmir.} Apologies. I was capturing the moment whilst we waited.. {He gently takes her by the arm.} Are you ready?

(smiles softly and takes his arm)

{He takes a deep breath. Then, he ushers her along; guiding her along the walk. As they grow nearer, he uses telepathy to speak with his charge.} Are you excited?

Yes, I am...Thank You...

{The edges of his beak— the fleshy part —quirks with a smile.} Splendid. {Now before Araavos, he presents her with a bow.} I wish you both eternal happiness ~

(looks at Milo) Ready, Big Guy? (smiles)

{He sighs, like he was holding his breath. He adjusts his posture.} I reckon… {Tenderly, he trots along the way. His eyes are watery, and beneath his moustache, his lip quivers. When they arrive, he points at Araavos.} Keep her well, Son. {As he joins the others, he wipes a tear; thinking no one sees it.}

As the sun begins its descent, casting hues of warm gold and rose across the enchanted courtyard, the grand doors of the mansion swing open. Oberron, Rilith's proud father, stands tall beside her as they step onto the crimson carpet that lines their path. The red carpet, adorned with intricate patterns resembling celestial constellations, leads them gracefully toward the ceremonial altar at the heart of the magical courtyard. The enchanting atmosphere intensifies with every step, as if the very air hums with the magic of the impending union. The gathered guests, bathed in the soft glow of twilight, watch in awe as father and daughter share a poignant journey down the crimson path. The courtyard, aglow with the fading light of the day, becomes a canvas for the celestial magic weaving around the couple. Against this backdrop of natural beauty and celestial wonder, Rilith and Oberron make their way to the sacred altar, and give her away to Araavos with a nod of approval.

{So overwhelmed with happiness, he is fidgeting with his pants. Tugging at the fabric; he considers cheering for his sister. He doesn’t want to ruin the moment… However, he makes up his mind. Suddenly he stands from his seat—} I’m very happy for you, Rili!!

(looks nervous as she approaches Astarion) Hey...You're sure you want to do this...right?

(smiles) Oz, sit down

{Remembering where he is, he obliges. He’s no beat red, and sheepishly grinning.}

This isn't about me. It's about you. But we simply can't be outstaged. Are you ready darling?

Of Course I'm ready!

Try not to sound too excited...... Still not thrilled about it

In the gentle embrace of the evening's twilight, Fernessa, a vision of ethereal beauty, graces the courtyard escorted by the ever-dashing Astarion. The delicate tones of her mint-green skin and moss-colored hair are complemented by the soft hues of her floral-themed wedding dress. As they glide down the red carpet, Astarion, exuding his flair for the dramatic, is the perfect counterpart to Fernessa's natural grace. The courtyard, now a haven of romantic anticipation, witnesses the enchanting couple's progression toward the altar. The mingling scents of blossoms and the soft rustle of leaves provide a natural backdrop to their journey. Astarion, with his unique blend of charm and sophistication, adds a touch of theatricality to the scene, creating an atmosphere where the magic of nature and the drama of love converge seamlessly. As Fernessa and Astarion approach the altar, the courtyard resonates with the promise of a union as timeless and exquisite as the realm of nature itself.

For the neurotic gnome artificer, a whimsical yet meticulously crafted tuxedo is in order. The jacket, tailored to perfection, is adorned with an array of tiny, functional gears and cogs that seem to move with the wearer's every anxious twitch. The trousers, a dapper shade of midnight blue, are fitted with miniature pockets, each meticulously organized to house an assortment of tiny tools, spare gears, and perhaps a pocket-sized notebook for jotting down nervous thoughts. The bow tie, a focal point of the ensemble, is a masterpiece of clockwork elegance. It features a rotating mechanism, constantly in motion, symbolizing the gnome's perpetual state of fidgetiness. The shoes, though unassuming in appearance, harbor retractable stilts cleverly hidden within the soles, providing a subtle boost in height to boost the gnome's confidence. This neurotic gnome artificer's tuxedo is a testament to both fashion and function, marrying the eccentricity of its wearer with the precision of clockwork craftsmanship.

Fritz, beaming with pride, Fritz reaches his hand up to take hers as he walks Karlach down the outdoor courtyard aisle. Karlach, in her elegant yet hastily crafted dress, strides confidently beside him. The atmosphere is filled with a mix of joy and excitement as they approach the altar, surrounded by friends and the enchanting glow of the sunset. As they reach the end of the aisle, Fritz gives Karlach a supportive pat on the wrist since he can't reach her shoulder and takes his place, ready to witness the union of two souls amidst the magical backdrop of the outdoor ceremony.

Amid the enchanting courtyard, bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun, the gathered guests direct their attention to the ethereal presences of Chantae, Selune, and Sylvannas. As the goddesses of nature, the moon, and the fey prepare to unite Araavos with his seven beloved brides, a serene magic infuses the air, blending the essence of the natural world with the cosmic and fey energies. Chantae: (Her voice, a melodic whisper carried by the gentle breeze) Welcome, dear friends, to this sacred union under the watchful eyes of nature. Today, we witness the binding of souls, a celebration of love that transcends realms. Selune: (Her silvery luminescence casting a soft glow) As the moon governs the ebb and flow of tides, so too does love guide the tides of fate. Let this ceremony be a reflection of the cosmic dance that unites all living things. Sylvannas: (Her regal presence weaving a thread of fey energy) And in the dance of the fey, where magic intertwines with the mundane, let the echoes of your love resonate through the enchanted realms. Chantae: (She gestures towards Araavos and his brides) Let Araavos and his seven brides step forward, their hearts intertwined like the vines of the oldest trees and their spirits as free as the night sky. Selune: (Her presence comforting and serene) Araavos, Karlach, Elandra, Fernessa, Axel, Shadowheart, Rilith, and Nazmir, today marks a new chapter in your celestial journey. As you stand before each other and the divine, speak your vows, for they shall echo across the planes. Sylvannas: (Her fey energy weaving through the air) In this sacred space where nature and moonlight converge, let the vows you exchange be like the petals of feywild flowers, everlasting and eternally blooming. Araavos and his seven brides, surrounded by the harmonious energy of the goddesses and Sylvannas, exchange vows that echo with sincerity and love. The cosmic, natural, and fey energies intertwine with the words spoken, creating an ethereal sy

Shadowheart. When I first met you, you were broken, but I stood by you, just as I stand by you now, just as I will for time eternal.

I was broken, but you didn't just stand by me, you picked up the pieces and through your love you put them back together and made me whole. I love you.

Nazmir. Your love and devotion shine like the heavens themselves, bringing a new light into my life like no other I have ever seen.

Araavos, you helped me get my powers back when I lost them...And you were always so kind to me...I wish I had realized a lot sooner that I loved you...

{Happy hooting.}

Axel, you came to me timid, and afraid. But you came to me. You chose me. Of all the things you could have done, I was honered to be the one you chose to put your faith and your trust in. I swear to you here and now I will never betray that trust.

{Milo looks very proud, nodding his head firmly with a smile.}

Araavos....You helped me understand my past...worked to help me overcome my fears...Provided me with a sense of safety...I thought I'd never fully trust anyone again untill I met you....and you know my blessing and curse. You know I'm not lying. You mean a great fucking deal to me.

Rilith. You fought your feelings for what seems like eternity. But you finally opened up to me. I'll never forget that moment when you revealed your true self to me.

I was scared of opening myself up for a long time...Fear of rejection had me in shackles....But now that it's released me...I want you to cuff me. (playful smirk)

*clears his throat before continuing*Elandra, your bubbly personality and enthusiasm has brought a renewed sense of adventure into my life. For that I shall forever be grateful

I never thought I would be one to settle down. But you were always so kind, generous, and caring that if I didn't, I'd never find what you have to offer anywhere else. I am humbled and excited to be your wife.

Fernessa You came to me for help. And I did my best. Your charm and your grace entangled me like the vines you weave. I will always be your shoulder, your confidant, and your companion in those troubling times.

I've been blinded by love....The type to fall hard and fall fast...but you caught me...multiple times....before I learned to stand my own and open my eyes...You were there the whole time while I've been chasing something that'll never happen....I love you...

Okay, didn't have to point it out but sure.....

Karlach. Your energy is only matched by your overwhelming positivity and spirit. I promise I will try as best as I can to continue to be a source of that for you.

You're an amazing person. You're honest, and that's important to me. Even if it's not always what people want to hear you never hide from anyone or anything. And I always dreamed of the day I would meet my prince charming who would love me, take care of me, and protect me, all the while you were sitting right next to me. But thanks to a little push from a few friends she looks at the girls and then to Maijn I was finally pointed to what I've been looking for this whole time.

Chantae: (Her voice filled with warmth) With these vows, you declare your commitment not only to each other but to the natural order that binds us all. May your love be a beacon, illuminating even the darkest corners of the cosmos. Selune: (Her light intensifying) By the power vested in us, under the celestial tapestry that stretches across realms, we pronounce you joined in the sacred bond of marriage. May your days be as joyous as the full moon and your nights as serene as a moonlit lake. Sylvannas: (Her presence weaving through the air) And may your journey together be like a dance in the feywild, where each step is filled with magic and wonder. By the magic of nature, the glow of the moon, and the enchantment of the fey, I declare your union blessed.

Warmly shakes Alexander's hand, his expression filled with gratitude. Thank you, Alexander. Your words and this celebration mean the world to us. Let the festivities continue! With a nod of appreciation, Araavos rejoins the company of his brides, ready to revel in the enchanting night ahead.

Alexander bows slightly and offers a genuine smile. "It's my pleasure, Araavos. May your union be as enchanting as this celebration. If there's anything else you need, don't hesitate to ask. Enjoy the festivities!"

Majin cries I'm so sorry. looks down and goes to the garden

{A very disheveled Shad strolls over to the food.}

Oh look who it is. Too sleepy for the cermony I see?

{With a silence describable only as disdain for existence, he flips her the bird. He then proceeds to shovel some of the Forage meats onto a plate.}

Fernessa was mlooking for you...

{He hums, swallowing the colossal amount of food he bite into.} How’d that go?

She's pissed. But she's busy comforting Karlach. So there's that.

Oh joy. {He rolls his eyes.} Guess I better go find her. {Before departure, the Dragonborn steals a drink.}

{In the process of drawing Nazmir, Baracus strikes up conversation.} So— {His hand dances across the page; the quill scraping along.} How does wedlock feel?

(goes to find Majin)

It feels amazing...I was convinced no one would want me because I'm a boring bookworm.

{Oz sits in a corner of the venue, where the least people are. He’s enjoying some Veggies and spiced wine. That is, with his primary arms. His secondary hands find themselves busy rolling around a small (for his hands), iron ball. ‘Tis a stress ball.}

Os, thanks for coming, It means a lot to Rilith I know. Whatcha got there? gestures to the stress ball

{He pauses, looking upon Nazmir.} …I should teleport you into the sea. {He returns to drawing, still hold his words with speech.} Besides the point, knowledge is beyond simple minds, usually.

{His wee ears jump to attention.} It is my own making; a “stress ball.” {He rolls the metal sphere around his additional palms.} It is smooth, and feels nice to rub. And it makes noise bearable.

Here... a little something to show my appreciation for being there for my little Starfire *his eyes close

Suddenly.... silence. Oswald can hear no longer.... but then, a voice.

Can you hear me Os

Da, I can.

I guess so. But not everyone likes us....nerds...

I have isolated the sound to just my voice. But you now have this ability as well. Any sound, any voice can be as loud, or as soft as you desire it to be. You won't have to be overstimulated and overwhelmed anymore.

The verbatim definition of a “Nerd” is: a person who is extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable about a particular subject, especially one of specialist or niche interest. {He adjusts his spectacles.} So I see no problem with people of our calibre.

{Joy and curiosity find their way into the Giff’s heart and mind.} Thank you.

You're welcome Os. You should go find Rilith, I don't think she's seen you much lately. I know she misses you, even if she tries to hide it...

{Wandering around the venue.} Where are you Green Bean?!? {He waves his arms drastically.}

{Whilst playing around with his new abilities, Oz spends a good few minutes listening to Shad. Not a soul would know, and he’d never admit to it even under torture— but he likes the way he sounds.} …I like this voice.

(makes her way back to the party after Karlach and Astarion leave)

{Shad is sitting at the bar. He’s resting his head on the wood.}

The bar you rest your head on, still contains fluids you're not sure you want to identify

{He furrows his brow ridges. Slowly he peels his face off of the surface.} That’s… fuckin’ disgusting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, honored guests, please gather around as we prepare for a sweet moment in the center of the courtyard! Araavos and his lovely brides, your presence is requested for the cake cutting ceremony. Let the joyous celebration continue as we share in this delightful tradition together. Please, join me in applauding the happy harem!"

What the fuck is that?

{Milo is off in the crowd, winning his eighth round of shots.}

{Baracus is already nearby the cake; waiting to sketch the moment.}

> What the fuck is that? @Shadzaar (@Mars) - jump A mix of rilith's juices, Astarion's juices, sweat, and a little blood, plus whatever alcohol spilled from the glasses they managed to shatter.

(walks towards the cake)

That cake looks beautiful

A vanilla layer?!?

I'm excited for that one (points to her layer)

Is that mint?...How fitting!

{Oz approaches the Bar, having heard the sticky peeling sound.} Excuse me, {He bows.} The bar sounds like it needs to be cleaned. May I?

Damn. {A tipsy Milo comes up to stand with Axel.} Who the hell made this cake. {A muffles a burp.} And how much would classes cost?

Alexander

{Strolling into the venue, Victus has Majin slung over his shoulders. He’s making a face of rage, as the slime ruins his silk night-wear.}

> Damn. {A tipsy Milo comes up to stand with Axel.} Who the hell made this cake. {A muffles a burp.} And how much would classes co... @Milosh (@Mars) - jump Alexander: Ah, Milo! I'm delighted you appreciate the cake. As for classes, my friend, they come at the cost of a good conversation and shared laughter. Consider yourself enrolled in the first lesson. Let the culinary adventures begin!

Golly, the one fella? {He thinks for a moment.} Y’know, he’s kinda a looker. I wonder if Zeus and I can convince him to play Strip Poker later.

(looks around for Shad)

OH MY GODS, DA-- I mean, Milo!!!!

{Shad is watching the Giff swiftly and efficiently clean the counter top. With a slight hint of wonder.}

{He looks around with genuine confusion, looking innocent.} What? He is. {Gestures in Alexander’s direction.}

Yes, but don't have to be creepy about it.

{Now done cleaning, he claps all four of his hands.} The Bar is no longer filthy.

{He struggles to grasp the concept.} Whatchu mean? It’s normal for people to tell each other how good they look.

I’m looking for a “Karlach”. Has anyone seen “Karlach “?

> Oh… I’m going to skool? @Milosh (@Mars) - jump Alexander: Indeed, my friend! Welcome to the School of Culinary Enchantment, where the only prerequisite is a passion for good food and good company. I'll see you at my resteraunt at six thirty am sharply first thing tomorrow morning. Until then, let the festivities continue!

Majin looks at Victus U sure she'll accept that apology?

Huzzah~

seeing Vic with Maijn slung over his shoulder tries to hide her face

{He flicks his hair.} Well, if she doesn’t, I might have to break some of my nails.

*Yes but I broke a promise. sighs and stretches his head up looking around for Karlach

{He strikes an idle pose. Waiting for “Karlach” to find them.}

(goes to look for Shad)

Majin sees Karlach There

How many jobs you got, hippo? Damn.

{Counts on his fingers.} …1…5… Twelve, if I remember correctly.

Shadzaar! (She looks at him. Visibly upset.) Where were you?!? You missed the wedding!

{He whirls around in his seat.} Oh fuck— He-Hey Ferny! {He opens his arms for a hug.}

{Sensing the tension, Oz mixes some sweet yet tart tasting liquor drinks. He then slides them over to Shad and Fernessa.}

Don't start with that shit! I invited you, and this is how you treat me?!? You skip the entire thing!

{His smile drops.} I had a hangover, man. Even vampires get ‘em. {His expression hardens just a little. He also crosses his arms.}

Os now having the same control over his senses as Araavos, realizes that he can probably hear them... And is probably listening.

{Is, in fact, listening while he wipes down the Bar.}

Oh, so I'm guessing booze is more important than a friend's wedding?!?

{He flinches, and his face softens. He looks off to the side, away from her gaze.}

Majin taps Victus' shoulder I found her. I recognize them beautiful horns anywhere

{He sighs. It’s got some weight behind it.} I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to get shit-faced.

(tears form in her eyes.) I can't believe you'd do this to me....(shaky breath as her voice cracks with sadness): Enjoy the bar.... (And runs off)

{He’s grinding his teeth. It’s obvious he wants to say more, but is restraining himself.}

.....(big sigh as she stands up and darts out the exit)

{He finds a spot to sit, where it’s quiet and dark. He’s sulking.}

{Oz, now wearing a troubled expression, contemplates talking with the two. Separately, of course.}

{Ultimately, he decides Shad needs someone to talk about things with. He also decrees that Fernessa needs Hot Chocolate. And thusly, makes her some. Isolating her ambient sounds, he locates her.} Bride, I bring gift.

(looks at the hippo).....Who are you?

No, not really. I am Oz.

Majin walks to Karlach Look, I need to talk to u.

Meanwhile Alexander is still waiting with Araavos for the brides to show up.

They did hear you, right?

{Vic is standing with Darkus.}

I believe so sir. Karlach and Shadowheart did appear, as for the others, they don't seem to have arrived.

{After giving Fern her beverage, he’s gently pushes her along.} Go now, your husband calls you.

I'm here, I'm just staring at the cake from behind it, It's so huge you didn't even see me

It is a rather large cake…

Alexander: Eight tiers. I almost fainted at the request.

You didn't tell me that.

I believe I just did sir.

Touche'

{Baracus looks back and forth between them.} But… why didn’t you do several, smaller pastries?

Alexander: For an event like this? Nothing less than outstanding, and amazing would do.

(goes to find Araavos)

That’s a valid point, I suppose.

Besides, How would I cut eight cakes at the same time?

{He bows his head.} Hello, Dame.

Majin sighs preparing himself for the apology as he looks at Karlach Look, Karlach. I might have fucked up many times, but I swear that this time I didn't mean to hurt u. I got lost in the hallway thinking to myself that u deserve better, that u deserve to be with Araavos. And that's when I realizes that u and him weren't there. If I could go back in time for just that I swear I would take u there as I promise. But what's done is done... at least let me give u a wedding gift. That is if u accept it.

{He looks to Araavos. He uses telekinetic power to life his book, quill and himself off the ground.} Magic, naturally.

It's a small hallway, don't give me that bullshit.

{Vic scoffs.} He means lost in him emotions, Butterfly.

Majin nods as Victus says that

He said lost in the hallway..

Yes— in his emotions, whilst in the hallway.

Smart bird..... I'm sorry I don't know your name. What is he talking about?

Lost in the hallway thinking about u. But anyways, the point is that I didn't meant to hurt u. I swear, and u might like the gift.

Araavos?...(she approaches him. Makeup slightly smeared from the crying. She looks hurt.)

Baracus. {He’s still levitating, and is now taking notes… upside down.}

{Vic gasps with horror.} Oh my gods— who did this to your makeup?!

Fernessa..... he waves his hand and the whole room appears frozen in time. What's wrong....

Baracus is aware of the time freeze he could try to struggle against it, or leave it be...

{He attempts to become free.}

Shadzaar skipped the wedding because he was hungover...I invited him and he decided getting drunk was more important...

his eyes, his markings. All begin to glow with a brightness that pierces the night sky

Baracus is now able to move freely in this frozen moment

What happened? Who froze time?

I did, choose your next move wisely bird.

You realize he's not in his happy mood. This is a different Araavos than the one you were just talking to.

{He tilts his head. Realising the danger, her closes his book and puts it and his quill away.} Araavos…? Are you alright? {He looks to Fern.}

Araavos?....

Yes love.... the symbols pulsing with power while ancient magic predating the realm it'self gathers around his eyes

Baracus could go inform Solidus, he wouldn't be frozen... Or he could not interfere. Decisions decisions

{He’s a bit anxious now. He’s not sure if Araavos with literally explode. He’s already prepared Teleport just in case.}

Are you okay?...You're glowing and stuff....(panic slowly building)

{He decides to go. To Solidus.}

Speak your desire Fernessa and it shall be done..... Nobody hurts you.... And lives.....

Solidus! {He looks around.}

Gods, Araavos! I don't want to kill him!....

What's wrong Baracus, you look frantic?

{He recalls swiftly what’s happening via Telepathy.}

the pulsing stops, his eyes begin to return to normal time still frozen Then what will you have me do?

If he loses control he could eliminate the whole demiplane.

I'm just upset with him...maybe kick him out or something? Just don't kill him...

We need to calm him.

eyes glowing once more as he banishes Shaadzar back to the Adventurer's Hall with an arcane barrier confining him to the wine room There, he's in a place where he can have so much he won't want to touch another drop should he consume it all. He can wait there with his true friends he unfreezes time and returns to his normal form.

{Oz blinks in confusion, as he realises Shadzaar’s breathing sounds have stopped.} What happen to Dragonborn?

His...true friends?....(shakes her head) Nevermind. I just want some cake now...

Hear, hear!

{Passing through the crowd, the gentle giant “looks” for Shad. He stops occasionally to ask other guests to see if they’ve seen him.}

Majin looks around as he gets his guard up What the... for a moment I felt like I was in danger. Meh. shrugs it off and looks at Karlach So do u want the wedding gift?

{Vic is giving Karlach the death stare.}

Girls, you ready to cut the cake??

Yess!!!

YEP!!!

(insert guest name here) informs Oz the last place they saw him was heading to the Bar

He deserves forgiveness, Cherry.

Thank you (Insert Guest Name Here). {He manoeuvres his way to the Bar.}

Call me cherry again and I'll pop yours. But sure Maijn. I'll accept your gift. I'm not angry with you. I'm hurt. And i'm not sure some trinket is going to make up for that.

{Flicks hair.} Ooh, is tha’ a promise?

even in her dress she managed to sneak in a rather impressive blade and gestures to it You bet.

> Call me cherry again and I'll pop yours. But sure Maijn. I'll accept your gift. I'm not angry with you. I'm hurt. And i'm not su... @Karlach (@Solidus) - jump Oh no. Not a trinket, since I know how much u love to dance. looks at Araavos and whispers to Karlach "Would u like a private dance with Araavos after cutting the cake?"

Karlach? Sweetheart, we're cutting the cake?

{His eyes widen.} Fuckin’ ‘Ell— you’re on your own, Blob. {He slips away into the crowd.}

{Has now started a “Araavos Dossier” and is now documenting every aspect of him.}

You can't promise something like that Maijn.

{Whispering to Axel.} What’s up with those two? Exes?

...Not really? I mean, they went on one date, and he was awful to her...He won't leave her alone!...

{Wanders up to Solidus.} Hello. Have you seen the Dragon?

You'll have to be more specific, I know at least a dozen personally.

> And I'm not going to let you convince me you can. @Karlach (@Solidus) - jump I mean, I managed to get him to the Study, didn't I? smiles Just let me ask him. But I don't promise he'll accept.

{His bushy brows raise.} A stalker, eh? {Rolls up sleeves.}

...Yes...

Got it. {Downing the rest of his ale, he moves closer to Majin.} Whatchu out here harrasin’ ladies fer?!

I'm not saying I wouldn't be grateful, but you really shouldn't use another person as a bargaining chip. Look out!

Majin looks at Milo I ain't harrassing her, I am making up for a promise I broke. If u excuse me, I am talking to my best friend.

{Milo leans hun real close.} Listen, fucker. You’s best not be doing anythin’. {He lets you go and trots back over to Axel.}

I have no idea who that guy is, but.... I kinda like him...Still sorry he assaulted you.

The Dragonborn. {He shuffles his feet.}

He's at the adventurer's hall Why? Did you need to see him? I can send you there if you wish, but you won't be able to get back.

{He hums to himself.} That’s alright. I feel he needs some ears at this moment.
