[OPEN] it's a wedding party come getcher party favours

Who: Passenger, Sesa, & You
What: Wedding party for two losers
When: Early June, before Night Vale
Where: The beach
Warnings: Well it's a party log so. Frat boy stuff I imagine-


[It's a sunny, lovely day by the seaside cabanas. Most people, perhaps all people in attendance, are still monsters. It's a hilarious time to have a wedding, but it's officially been about a year-ish since Sesa first proposed, so here we are. Both of them are in white, Sesa in a clean-pressed, nice, traditional Sargonian getup, and Passenger in something sleek and flowing to account for the naga tail. They'll take their vows with Heimr as the officiant — because why hire any of the Real Fake Priests here when Heimr, who's obviously superior, can do it — exchange a kiss that maybe goes on for uncomfortably too long if you're an audience member (sorry), and then that's it, you're done thanks for coming!!

...

No, just kidding, this is where the party starts. There are tables laid out with food on the pier proper, mostly consisting of traditional Sargonian (Arabic) treats and drinks, like what Passenger serves at the cafe. There are a few other food items out, too, things Passenger calls Columbian fare and matches anyone's expectation of classic American finger foods. Little tea sandwiches, tiny pies and cake slices, the works.

In Sargon, the cake cutting is done with a sword, so that's what they're doing here. They'll do it together, before everyone gets to eat their unevenly-sliced sword-blessed wedding cake.

Of course, other than the food, there's another tradition in Sargon: Dancing, all in a circle, shoulders touching (or close to touching, as a bunch of monster-transformed people are able). They call it dabke, a folk dance, and the newlyweds will happily instruct anyone how to do it properly... although neither of them seem to mind if you go off to the beat of your own drum with it.

Happy wedding day! The liquor flows freely and the dancing will last until the afternoon. Break shit, eat, drink, and enjoy the waves to your heart's content — if you go swimming in the sea, no one will judge you.]

It is kinda messy. Probably not so lucky for whoever needs to clean it up after.

[Especially at a beach wedding. It doesn't sound very possible.]

Yeah. I get that.

[It doesn't sound like he gets it. He actually sounds kind of strangled. Like he's happy for them, but is maybe a little confused.]

[Well, Sesa might be stupid, but he isn't dumb. He notices the strained way that Min-Gi says that, and it prompts him to raise a brow.]

Mm...is everything alright?

[It's Sesa's wedding, so even being called out there's no chance he's going to outwardly admit the full extent of how wild this is. He's not sure how to respond at first, everything that comes to mind either being too much or a lie.]

Yeah. Things are just so... different in my world.

Ah...I see. That is to be expected, I suppose...we all come from such vastly different universes, in a lot of cases. But I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.

[He hums, folding his arms and tilting his head to one side.]

It gives us the opportunity to learn about things we would not have gotten the chance to otherwise.

No. It's not bad.

[He maybe says it a little too quickly, but he isn't lying.]

I just take a while to get used to things sometimes. It's nice though. That you get to do this.

I have to agree. I never thought I'd be afforded such an opportunity in a place such as this, but...I have to admit, it's been wonderful.

[Sesa sighs wistfully. He also never thought he'd be dating someone he not long ago considered to be someone Incredibly Dangerous but look at him now! He still thinks Elliot is dangerous but he also loves him so it's fine!! These things do not have to be mutually exclusive.]

Is this your first time visiting this beach? I know it's a bit of a trek from the Grove proper.
