[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.]

Someone who seemed annoyed by the idea not five seconds ago. But noted. Nice to meet you Katsuki.

[ Oh Pavlova most certainly knows how, both leading and following. Aerial too. He's had a very long time to practice after all! He seems delighted that Bakugo seems to know what he's doing. That spares them the hiccups of an inexperienced dancer.

He was told once that a dance is like a conversation, able to convey thoughts, personality and emotion without any words. He's not sure Bakugo would agree with that assessment, but it worked for him. He let Bakugo lead, partly out of courtesy for playing along with him, but there's a lightness to his dance, playful almost. He's having fun whether or not Katsuki is, though he seems to be trying to make this fun for him as well.

If he wanted a challenge, Katsuki would be hard pressed to find a better dance partner. ]

I'm still annoyed, don't worry about that. [ Inferring that what was going on between them was no more than a call to action. That he did not like that he had to come here onto the dance floor and make a public appearance of any sort. However, he would, because now he had to own up and show how good he is at everything - his pride on the line. ]

Good, [ After a few moments, eclipsing the stage besides Pavlova, and Katsuki being able to follow because Pavlova can lead well enough and do a showcase. Each step instrumented and orchestrated with ease, Katsuki is able to make up for something that gets suddenly arranged and fill in for it with what dances he does know. Or, just back up as intended. He isn't the best, stoic and tense - his actions are almost robotic with too much precision and not enough heart in them. ] you won't waste my time.
