Love and Marriage

[scribes]

Characters: Signless, Disciple, and OPEN
Location: Death City's Park
Rating: PG
Time: July 6th, in the evening.
Description: Marriage is not a concept that exists within troll society, but Disciple and Signless feels that it is right for them. Today two trolls shall be married.

Please note that this is an open event so all characters are welcome to come. An announcement was made a while ago but feel free to assume others have been made if your character came in afterwards.

The central area of the park had been cleaned up as best as possible after the recent events. An outdoor wedding had seemed nice, but unfortunately they hadn't been able to predict that a sandstorm would hit, nor the damages brought about by the stray Kishin eggs. It had left the city in quite some disarray and the park was no exception.

Yet determination and hard work had pulled though. The area that had been reserved for the wedding had been cleaned up rather well, any excess sand carried away and the rented furniture had been cleaned up and redecorated. A pavilion had been set up, draped in a canopy of soft colors of red and green. Tables and chairs were set up in and outside of it covered in laurels and flowers. It was a very simple set up--as suited the couple, and the inside of the pavilion was only slightly more decorated, still keeping from being gaudy.

The area where the ceremony itself would take place would be a hop and a skip away from the reception area near a rather large tree. Lanterns are set up and down the makeshift walkway to make certain the area is lighted once it gets darker.

[Normally, Dolorosa would tease her friend about the faint colour on his cheeks, but she can't really do that right now, not when Psii would be able to point out the same about her. That doesn't stop her from being playful, however.

It's been a while since she's been this relaxed.]

Thank you, [she says, before taking a sip of her champagne.] You look very nice, too, dear. If only you'd allow me to change all of your garments for more fashionable choices...

[Rosa expressing this wish is even less unexpected than her clothing being perfectly appropriate and flawlessly made, and Psii only just refrains from rolling eyes like adolescent hasn't been in hundreds of sweeps.]

Am sure your choices would be excellent, but don't see any practical reason to do that.

[Unfortunately for Psii's fashionably challenged mind, Dolorosa takes his words as invitation to educate him on the matters of fashion and style for the 374th time ever. She takes a step closer and places a hand on his shoulder, nodding as if in deep thought, considering what to say until she finally nods once more and speaks out loud.

Okay, so maybe she's a bit more tipsy than anticipated if she wants to go down that route after so many failed attempts, but maybe this time it will work...?]

Even if you see no use in having clothes that are aesthetically pleasing, you must hear me out on this, [she begins, her eyes glinting in that way they always do when she gets started in the Importance of Good Clothes.] Choosing the right garments and the right fabrics ensures that your body temperature is always at comfortable levels even if the weather you find yourself in is far from being kind. Choosing more resistant fabrics, in turn, ensures that you are less likely to be hurt should you be attacked, and certain kinds of clothes allow to carry concealed weapons with you... so as you can see, wearing the right clothes can make you stronger.

[She nods again. She knows what she's talking about, having always made her clothes as versatile as possible given her nomadic life with the Signless.]

As you can see, you can be fashionable and practical all at once, if you'll allow me to show you how.

[This is possibly only argument that has chance of swaying Psii. He also recognizes that once Rosa has embarked on making case for importance of fashion, would be difficult, if not impossible, to keep routine from running to end.

His face flushes even deeper yellow at contact, but champagne is doing its trick of making him less skittish about touch, though it hasn't pushed him to the point of being actively affectionate (yet), and that's the only reaction he shows.]

Definitely found it difficult to locate clothes suitable for more extreme temperatures here, [he allows. And he remembers very well face Rosa made when she saw the shorts he did find.]

Though don't need to conceal weapons, as am not proficient in any.
