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….

Her family is rich, old, and well established enough to blend in beautifully with lords, viscounts, dukes and all the rest.
"Isidor Durant. Just Isidor Durant."

no subject
Date: 2020-01-06 03:54 pm (UTC)"I haven't checked officially, but I'd guess close to forty miles-per-hour on the ground. I couldn't even guess once she's in the air."

Date: 2020-01-06 09:48 pm (UTC)"Can't joust from the air." She points to where the practice quintain has already been set up, between parallel lines burned into the frosty grass. "Take a test run, we'll clock you. So we can keep the field level."

She takes some time to feel the weight of it and get used to the balance. Nudging Integrity, they trot over to the start of the runway set out for them.
One last check of the lance and she sets her sights dead ahead and murmurs to her mount, "Come on, let's show them how fast you can go."
Integrity is a focused bird. Not the fastest, but when Isidor instructs her to charge she does so without show or fanfare. The difficulty for the gryphon is getting up to take off speed while resisting the urge to spread her winds. The difficulty for Isidor is trying to get a handle on a completely new weapon. They charge, the lance drops, but she catches it a fraction too low and by the time she corrects her aim it skims just under the target.
Isidor curses under her breath but is all calm and collected when she returns to hand back the lance. She nods to the stranger. "So? What did she reach?"

Her gaze flicks over Isidor and her thoughtful-looking Guardian before she translates: "Forty-two point four miles per hour, at maximum velocity.""Impressive, for such a big mount." Turnstone nods to Isidor. "I'll give you some space to practice your aim. See you out there, Lady Bird."

And, pleased with her comeback, she nudges Integrity onwards. They've got some work to do!
