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….

"Is tiring, though."

Date: 2019-12-29 10:57 pm (UTC)"I am Groot," Groot adds, flopping down on the floor next to the both of them, stretching his wooden legs out in front of him. "I am Groot."
no subject
Date: 2019-12-31 01:26 am (UTC)"When I have proven myself in their trials I will be flying again."
She glances between Groot and Rocket a couple of times.
"And you? Your house flies as well?"
no subject
Date: 2020-01-01 11:08 pm (UTC)"You bet your ass it does," he answers proudly. "All over the galaxy. The Benatar's a great little ship. 'course, I'm the captain." He's not, not really, but six months of de facto ownership means it might as well be.
no subject
Date: 2020-01-02 02:01 pm (UTC)Besides, she's much more interested in this ship of theirs.
"Montomgery Scotty's ship does this as well. Flying into uncharted space. I will not be captain, but I will keep it flying, whatever it takes." There is no question doubting Rocket's captaincy aboard his ship. "It is a small ship? Fast then. Mine is not being small. Hundreds work to make it go."
no subject
Date: 2020-01-05 03:11 am (UTC)Four out of five ain't that bad, all things considered. He'd never thought he'd get any of them back.
"'Course, we can fly it with a crew of two, but that ain't as fun." More lonely, he means, but he's not saying that part out loud.
no subject
Date: 2020-01-05 02:37 pm (UTC)"Do you like the flying ship? What do you do?" If Rocket here is the captain and there are only a few of them, surely they must all be multi-faceted in their responsibilities. Age doesn't have much to do with it in her experience. She's in the Academy after all and barely more than a child. Plus there's Chekov. Younger people can do good too!

Date: 2020-01-06 04:12 am (UTC)"He's our entertainment specialist," Rocket 'translates,' with a cheeky little wink. "Keeps us all from gettin' bored in between here and there."
"I am Groot!" That's not what I said! Groot frowns at him as best he can, which Rocket pretends not to notice.
no subject
Date: 2020-01-10 02:29 pm (UTC)It is good that there are still families like this.
"No one wants to be stuck anywhere forever and bored." Jaylah instead comments quietly. "Enough to go crazy."
no subject
Date: 2020-01-14 02:32 am (UTC)"I am Groot," Groot mutters, still a little disgruntled over the deliberate mistranslation, but sort of pleased that his dad thinks he has such an important job, even if he's bullshitting it a bit.
Rocket shakes his head slightly, bringing a smile back to his face. "Y'know, your taste in music ain't half bad."
no subject
Date: 2020-01-18 06:34 pm (UTC)The cadet sits up a bit straighter to hear mention of the music.
"It is Earth classical! Captain James-Tee showed me many more kinds. My house had some but not much. I have expanded my horizons since."
no subject
Date: 2020-01-21 06:59 pm (UTC)“You and I gotta compare playlists sometime. I got a whole buncha new stuff over the past year. Can’t work without it, right?”
no subject
Date: 2020-01-25 04:17 pm (UTC)"I have my music box with me, if you want to see. I brought the beats to this night." Hup, let her just hop right on up to her feet once more. Ready to go and take Rocket to her music set up she's got. While the bards take a turn playing music she disconnects her PADD from the sound system set up and hands it over to Rocket to peruse. Given his music diving with Jim the one day, lots of the bands contained therein won't be surprising. Jaylah has taken a lot of recommendations form him in her music list.
Very few ballads live here, but banging jams? She has that in spades.

Date: 2020-02-01 03:16 pm (UTC)Jaylah stands a bit taller and prouder that Rocket recognizes the effort she's put into curating her collection over her time on Earth at the Starfleet Academy. She's never been very good about having much for possessions but this here, this she is proud of. Music has been a constant companion for her to ease her loneliness. Now it is a bridge between herself and the people she cares about out in the Black while she studies.
"Where do you get your music?"
