Come What May [OPEN!]

WHO: Fai, Feliks, and anyone and everyone!
WHAT: Mr. Feliks Łukasiewicz and Mr. Fai Flourite, together with their families, have requested the honor of your presence at their wedding!
WHERE: In and around the Institute!
WHEN: Backdated to April 7th.
WARNING(S): Alcohol use among the mostly-responsible adults, potentially lethal concentrations of fierceness. If anything unexpected happens, put it in the subject lines!



The last six years dragged and dragged, and the last six weeks have been such a rush.

Getting everything put together on such short notice has involved pulling a number of strings, a nearly impossible amount of free time, and an amount of money that Feliks would rather not even talk about, but when the big day dawns bright and clear, there's no time to worry about any of that. All morning, there's a bustle of activity as the decorations are set up and a small legion of Polish and Italian aunts occupy the kitchen -- it'd be pretty hard to miss all the commotion if you tried.

The ceremony is in the afternoon, with the reception stretching into the evening. Everyone is invited, and the dress code is "be fabulous." So, what are you all waiting for?

[OOC: Will put up headers for different parts of the party. Feel free to use this as a mingle opportunity!]

Rhia is confused. Again. - OTA

Rhia had been in the tree, watching everything get set up from her perch above it all. She... was confused. They were putting flowers everywhere, and she didn't know if the flowers had been freely given, or taken by force, so she couldn't judge that.

But the petals... she did not understand why there were baskets of petals. Were the flowers shedding for some reason? Did this mean that they were sick and needed aid?

She said nothing unless someone approached her, but as she watched the ceremony, she only got more and more lost.

Humans made no sense.

Naija had managed to gather something formal for her troubles. She looked up at Rhia in the trees and waved.

"It's a wedding! They're quite interesting. You should come down here and look more closely."

She slid from the tree to land in a crouch on the ground beside Naija.

"It looks little changed from here," she said as she stood, looking around. "What is it I am to be seeing? How is it a wetting, if it is not raining?"

"It is a bonding ceremony!"

She thought back to what she remembers of Mithalan weddings, from engravings in the ruins.

"I believe that soon, one will present the other with a conch or pearl or something like that, and they will be mated for life. The one who is presented to will look beautiful and radiant. The one who presents will look nervous and stiff, as if he was about to face some particularly dangerous task."

"This makes no sense," she said simply. She dug around and found berries in a small pouch, she popped two in her mouth and held out one, offering it. "I do not know what a conch or pearl is. Or what bonding is."

"Ah, you might call it...mating for life. They're pledging that they're a pair."

Naija loved berries and eagerly munched on one, not even considering that it might be poisonous.

She offered her another berry and ate another herself. they were sweet and juicy.

"Why do they need to do all this, just to mate? It is spring, all the animals mate now."
