smartass_captainTo all the friends of the happy grooms, PINpoint messages have already been sent weeks ago inviting them to expect quite the street party arranged in the commons of the Nexus. Guests have been invited to bring an appetite--both for food and for a social adventure. Nirnish weddings are public affairs, after all. While the ceremony has had to be somewhat sequestered for the sake of keeping the existence of Other Worlds a secret, neither Felix nor Jim would want to leave out their interdimensional friends entirely. Having a reception party arranged in the Nexus became the natural plan of action.
Overnight large sections of the Commons are transformed via diligent craftsmanship and quite a lot of magic from those who’ve volunteered. Lanterns representing the Divines are hung along every lamp post, bringing at least the idea of warmth even if the flames are too small to heat their surroundings alone. Bardic tunes carry in the air as readily as the scent of food and drink. Past banners of red and black, blue and white the people gather.
For both grooms this is nearly a continuation of the day before. They’ve had the chance to sleep off the nerves of their ceremony. Today is entirely for celebration--uninhibited celebration at that. No more minding what is said and isn’t. No more pretending to be anything other than who they are. Jim’s traded out his Nirnish finery for a suit and tie, garments he’s much more familiar with. Felix is staying with his native clothing; though he may have dressed down a little from his wedding clothes, the conjurer’s dressed in fitted breeches and his best fur-trimmed coat and boots, the soft hide dyed blue to match his tunic. By their side sits the conjurer’s spectral wolf familiar, ears pricked at the gathering.
As the guests find their ways over it will be easy to spot their friends amidst all the decor along with many other avenues with which to enjoy themselves….

Still, it's the month of the Thief. No better time to gamble.
"Lady Isidor," he greets her, sweeping a bow. "You look magnificent as ever." Intimidating as hell. "I'm grateful you were able to join us. I do hope you're enjoying the festivities so far, but I have something prepared that I hoped would be of particular interest to you."
He's hoping that Isidor appreciates it when men get to the point quickly.

More precious than the gold is the divine blessing bound into them, the touch of Mara to keep them both a little safer. "It's good to see you both- I presume that means Isidor won't be far away, either...?"

Date: 2019-12-08 06:50 pm (UTC)She manages to give a cool, "Congratulations."
Up to now she's done reasonably well at holding onto her neutral expression. Until Felix brings up something to entice her and she reflexively narrows her eyes in clear suspicion. She does her very best to sound cordial as she asks, "And what might that be?"

Date: 2019-12-08 08:52 pm (UTC)Amelia's usual black is well on display with her chosen gown, but she's managed bright pop of color in her choice of cloak. She looks much more like her usual self with her hair held in place with her hair pin and delicate leather gloves on her hands, though for a party like this she's managed to leave any
visibleweapons behind. Whatever sadness and weight still hangs over her is well hidden behind the bright smile she offers both Felix and Jim when it comes her turn to approach them, to the point where one might not know she'd been struggling over the past few months without asking."Congratulations, to the both of you," she says brightly. She curtsies politely and then offers each of them a bag of fresh coffee beans from under her cloak. "On my world, it's traditional to offer a practical gift to married couples. I thought something to help start your days, at least for a short time, would be appropriate."

Date: 2019-12-08 10:56 pm (UTC)On balance, she's not... entirely sure she was ready for this. Stepping from the good soil of Tamriel to an unholy realm has shaken her more than the blacksmith wants to admit. She is, however, glad she brought her Orcish business partner. Stratos is supposed to be escorting them, but he went to fetch drinks and it's reassuring to have Ushug by her side.
Because Ushug, in contrast, is already having a good time. Marcella can't tell if she's just that unfazed (her patron isn't bound to the limits of Tamriel, after all) but the older woman has found them a good seat, bragged her way into a dice game with some people in weird armor, and now she's laughing uproariously at their jokes. Despite herself, Marcella smiles. She's going to have to do her best to lighten up as much as Ushug...

It's an Old style of poker, that much Jim knows.
"Either way I'm in whenever there's a free spot for newcomers."

Date: 2019-12-08 11:24 pm (UTC)"You may call me Spock. I am gratified to make your acquaintance. Admittedly neither genre is terribly close to the music of my home, either. But each holds its merit."
Despite how poorly the music mixes together people even seem to be enjoying the novelty.

Date: 2019-12-08 11:26 pm (UTC)Jim excuses himself behind the bar and starts rooting around for labels he can put a finger to.
"Thanks, for that. Suppose I'd better look my best for this kind of thing huh? Not what I wore yesterday but definitely something I'm more familiar in." Let him just grab a few bottles. "It's about time."

Date: 2019-12-08 11:30 pm (UTC)Tch. It's not as though Leonard wants to mother hen Jim around, but the man's bound and determined sometimes to make things so much more worse for himself than they need to be. Eventually his family is going to find out he's run off and gotten married. At least this one seems to have more than a lick of sense in him.
"They didn't give you much trouble yesterday, I hope? I couldn't keep track of one of you let alone two by the end there. Last thing anyone needs is you gettin' into trouble on account of the other guy." Even if 'the other guy' is Leonard's best friend.

Date: 2019-12-08 11:33 pm (UTC)Connant isn't too bothered. He's not got much in the way of musical experience himself.
"And what is your home like, if I may ask? There are many different worlds that blend together here in the Nexus. It's interesting to see how they interact. Even if I didn't come here of my own will, I may as well enjoy myself."

Date: 2019-12-08 11:38 pm (UTC)His ears prick up when the sound of cans is heard. All the people have been eating, but is she hinting that he gets to eat too?!
Oh how he will twine between her legs and purr. Look at how good and handsome a boy he is.

Date: 2019-12-08 11:40 pm (UTC)"Freshly caught form the Nexus?" Oh now that's a pleasant thought. "For seafood I've always gone to the fish markets back in my world. I hadn't even thought to check here for it."

Date: 2019-12-09 12:19 am (UTC)She reaches into her beaded bag, and pulls out a stack of books with a ribbon tied around them for Jim. And then another stack of books -- with a few magical ones -- with another ribbon tied around them for Felix. Leaving both on the gift table.

Date: 2019-12-09 12:21 am (UTC)"Yes, there's some good fishing holes here. I can show you some one of these days, if you'd like." Kinner smiles a little, mood brightening. "Fish marketsin your world? I might have to visit someday."

Date: 2019-12-09 01:04 am (UTC)To Jim it almost sounds murmured into his ear, yet the voice's owner is long gone when he turns. Either way, the bottle is the proper stuff: an expensive whiskey that's smooth when it goes down and smells potent enough it might even have an effect on the Thunder God beside him.

Date: 2019-12-09 01:53 am (UTC)At his elbow, Thor's stein is nearly empty, and it doesn't take him long to drain it. The game's still ongoing, though, so he's not going to get up and get a refill until someone wins. Is there table service? He raises an eyebrow at the bottle delivered to the table, though he hadn't seen who brought it. Someone on his blind side, no doubt. "One of the perks of getting married is the gifts," he says with a chuckle. "That looks nice." By Earth standards, at least.
