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….

Everyone else might have found it Delightful but Leonard has always been suspicious and afraid of anything straying too far beyond the bounds of what he understands.He may not be objecting to Jim's wedding or Felix in general but it doesn't mean Leonard has to like the realm the kid calls home, either.
"Was real nice seeing folks come together though. Aside from the crew, I haven't seen much of that in a long damn time." Especially not where Jim's concerned.

It's easy to forget sometimes that they've got to be more careful about crossing the timelines, and for all he knows, that's where that answer will end up. He stalls a little, ripping off a piece of one of the honey cakes and popping it into his mouth. "Not like there's a lot of opportunity for that out in deep space. But it was good. Kind of a break from all the paperwork anyway."

Date: 2019-12-11 11:25 pm (UTC)you dohe does, Jim. But there's nothing but affection to Bones' shrug of his shoulders. This long together and the captain's best friend is pretty sure he knows what he's getting in to. Now there's two of them to look after. Bones may gripe but he'll look over the both of them. No doubt about that."Good to breathe air that hasn't been recycled a dozen times, too. I don't even want to think of the quarterly reviews waiting for me when we get back to th'ship."

Much as Jim sometimes hates McCoy's job, and all the annoying exams that he regularly inflicts on the crew, it's far better than the alternative in the long run. Besides, it's impossible to hate the vocation that's responsible for himself not being six feet under right now.
Although he's gotta admit, now he's curious. "How much does all this magical healing stuff drive you up the wall?" Aside from sleeping potions, his own McCoy hasn't had much reason to give his input on the matter. And that is a thing of the past, thank goodness.

Date: 2019-12-16 04:16 pm (UTC)The Nexus did all right in exactly one respect.
Not enough to stop the CMO from swearing darkly under his breath with a shake of his head. You have started this, Jim. Remember that an hour from now.
"Magic, he claims. They both do. I've seen what it does a couple of times now, though never observed firsthand." Jim definitely can pick out the words 'voodoo' and some very colorful terms in the muttering Leonard gives between statements. "Still got no idea what it is he's actually doing."

Date: 2019-12-20 02:26 am (UTC)There's a little voice in the back of his head that tells him this topic is probably a mistake that's going to bite him in the ass later, but since when has something like that ever stopped him. Sometimes you've gotta take risks to get anywhere.
"Pretty sure it's magic," he answers dryly, a grin tugging at the corners of his mouth. "I'd love to hear a plausible alternative, but I'm not sure there is one."

Date: 2019-12-20 01:57 pm (UTC)"Herbal medicine's not terribly uncommon in places where only the target species runs afoul of some kind of specialized disease or sickness." The urge is to mention Vulcan's traditional medicine but he has to check himself. That's a swiftly dying practice with the planet gone and its people scattered across the Federation. So alchemy isn't Entirely off the table though the fact that Felix's people Choose to use those kinds of terms still digs fitfully in the doctor's sense of decency. "It's the Other stuff I don't get. Haven't seen anything of. Jim calls him a 'conjurer' but hell, I ain't got a clue what that's supposed to mean."

Date: 2019-12-23 01:10 am (UTC)“Hmm.” He’s not sure he’s seen any of this conjuring stuff either, come to think of it. But all the same, he has no doubt that it’s a real thing, too. There was that thing in the other captain’s kitchen a couple years ago, when he’d gone missing, but... nothing had come of that, at least that he’d seen. And truth be told, he’s made an effort not to think about that particular episode, for fear of what it may do to the timeline. Maybe it wasn’t as bad as it looked? He can’t imagine the other Jim would marry Felix if it was. “I dunno about you, but I can’t wait to see it in action.”

Date: 2019-12-25 06:48 pm (UTC)Jim's ideas have a tendency to skew that way in his experience.
For as much as he grouses, the doctor does still nod toward a gathering crowd for Jim to take notice of on the other side of the little open area folks are using for a dance floor.
"Looks like Felix might be gearing up to make a speech? Something. Maybe we should go see."

"Come on, get your butt over here," Jim calls out, earning him a mrraaaah of complaint, but pitter-pattering little paws as the cat follows the two men toward where Felix is going to be holding court.
