A Very Nexus Reception

To 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….

Greetings

A man standing just outside the reception hall can be seen blowing a lance of smoke into the air. It was no small puff and what made it seem all the more impressive coming was the fact that it came from a man that was beyond what most would call middle aged. Missing from his hand is the expected lit joint or cigarette, though, and instead is a small vaping device about the size of a marker. The sent coming from the device was oddly sweet and ... chalky, like the smell of old-fashioned bubble gum.

At some point, the door to the hall is opened and Han lets himself in while the door swings open. The vape gets tucked into the inside pocket of the fitted blazer he’s wearing as he starts to weave himself into the event, heading directly to the bar.

It's early yet, and the bar hasn't gotten too busy, making it all the easier for Han to find a prime spot to catch the bartender's attention. Actually, even from behind there's something familiar about the nondescript man stretching up to get more glasses... and then he turns around and why, it's Han's old buddy!

His moustache curls in surprise before he waves a wine glass at Han, burbling bubbling with pleasure to see his fellow dad here. Long time, no sea see!

Han smiles a genuine smile. He hadn’t expected to run into anybody he knew at a wedding that he was crashing, much less someone he considered a good friend. He hasn’t seen his pal, Bob, in ages.

Yeah, his eyes are a little glassy, but he fits right in at a wedding, right? At a good wedding there isn’t a dry eye in the house. That’s his story and he’s sticking to it.

“Heya pal, didn’t expect to see you here.”

Gosh, it's such a pleasant surprise to see his good friend Han here. Bob is helping out Mr. Suou with the catering; he straightens the bow tie of his tuxedo and tries to look extra responsible. He's not the man to let down a friend in need. Besides- some rather romantic blubbing- he couldn't say no to helping with a wedding. Such a special day!

Oh, but where are his manners? He waves the glass stuck to in his hand. Can he get you anything, Han?

“How good’s the liquor back there?”

If the wedding party paid for the good stuff, Bob. Is it an open bar? Does this place take Venmo? He pats himself down until he finds which pocket he put his wallet in. Suddenly, he’s wondering if he brought any cash.

He hadn’t expected to crash a wedding today.

Bob sounds thoughtful at that. He turns to reach up and pick out a few bottles- he really shouldn't try to take so many at once, they're falling over on the shelf. It's impressive how high the guy can stretch up there, but then he is pretty tall sometimes. He manages to bring down a couple of brandies and a hiskey bottle safely, though Han's gonna have to grab them to keep them steady on the bar.

Fancy bottles, old-looking labels. Bob's waving away- oops, taking away that wallet, though, waving it at Han as he gives him a friendly scolding. You're a guest, Han, you don't need to pay.

Han can’t help but notice how deftly Bob can reach for those bottles way up top and on the back of the shelf. You couldn’t call Han Solo short by any means, but he thinks even he might have trouble reaching them without knocking anything over.

It’s impressive!

“You’re not gonna let me pay for my drink, huh?” He says with a shallow nod. “I think I’ll take a brandy over the whiskey, thanks.”

It's all a matter of grace and panache and infinitely flexible limbs, Han! He says something rather agreeable about the brandy and whisks a clean glass from the other counter.

Setting it upright on the bar and safely opening the brandy takes some concentration, or maybe Bob's just lost in thought for a second. He doesn't relax until the brandy's glugging safely into the glass (hopefully Han's fine with a lot of it).

So how's the family, Han? He's full of inquisitiveness as he passes the brimming glass to Han and leaves the bottle- er, throws the bottle across the room. Oops. He'll get that in a minute.
