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….

"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."

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."

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.”

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.
