[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.]

Gladly. Do I really look like the suffer in silence type?

[Yes, Verso. That's your entire character.]

You're sure, then?

[very flatly:] Yes. You do.

But don't forget, Verso, that I now have your word. So long as you keep it, yes, I'm sure.

[the look they give him is both earnest and vaguely threatening. true to their own word, they wait for him to move forward, assuming he takes their concern seriously.]

[Verso only snorts at that. He lifts both his arms and shoulders in a resigned shrug, palms up high toward the sky. He's way too readable, he's learning.]

Very well then. In that case [He glances down the beach.] What was that about private gazebos?

[takes one to know one, and all that. as verso lowers his hands again, kiera catches one in their own with a sly grin.]

I'll show you to mine.

[Verso and Kiera spend some time together. Away from the others.

Verso and Kiera became a bit more than friends.

Kiera feels inspired.]
