Phase Twenty-One: Your Standard Fairy Tale Happy Ending

[The world has been saved, hopefully for the last time in a long time. The celebrations - and the mourning - have started, and in a lot of places are still continuing. But the victory isn't the only thing to celebrate - and with a lot of help, and a lot of favours, Laura and Lily have extended an invitation to the Chalice crew, past and present, to join them. If you were nearby, chances are the invitation was hand-delivered by a dutiful Servbot.]

1. The setup
[With the looming deadline of the closing portals, things move quickly! Invitations are sent, travel is arranged, a venue is prepared. What had been the White Chalice's Arboretum - now an open-air grove in what's set to become a lush forest - is the site of the ceremony itself, while the celebrations afterwards will take place in Gucun. There's a lot to be done to make ready. Are you helping, or seeking out one of the brides beforehand?]

2. The ceremony
[It's only fitting that Captain Smith should officiate. He's waiting at an arch set up by the flowerbeds of the Arboretum, where the happy couple met, where Laura's tended her memorial to her friends from before the Chalice and to those who've passed on since. Between the Kwan daughters, Epimetheus, and a brace of Servbots you shouldn't have any trouble finding your seat, even if Xue Yi is a little preoccupied ensuring Prometheus behaves. There's some time before the wedding party arrive, to talk amongst yourselves - or with some of the other guests present, who include Laura's overwhelmed-looking parents!]

3. The reception
[Of course, the real point of a wedding is the party afterwards! There's food, drink, and music - Miki pulled some strings, and Pit's showing how Skyworld does catering. After the recent battle, perhaps this is a chance to see some long-absent faces in more peaceful circumstances, or to say goodbye. Or are you just here for the embarrassing speeches?]

[This is a joint mingle post, open to dropped and retired characters as well! For all prompts, please specify whether it's Laura/Lily you want to talk reply, or others!]

If... When your hunch proves to be correct...

I hope you will visit us to see the kids one day.

I was happy to be able to spend some time with my own parents, when we returned to Cosmic Ark for a while not so long ago. Even if the other circumstances were less than ideal...

I know! Why won't you take them on a vacation to Cosmic Ark?
mecha_eihwaz: (EVE: huh?)

[personal profile] mecha_eihwaz 2014-02-26 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Another one? Well, thank you Eibon. I'm pretty sure it will keep us very... clean?

[personal profile] saikyocivrobo 2014-02-26 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm looking forward to some peace and quiet for a change, actually. Besides, who said anything about ordinary? I fully expect to graduate quickly, and after that there are many research projects waiting for me. And if trouble shows its head again... Prometheus is still with me.

[personal profile] a_human_work 2014-02-27 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
That might be a bit much for them. They're just ordinary working class. Only vacations they have shown any interest in is just going a bit down the coast to the beach...But it will definitely be an experience for all of us.

And I imagine it must be nice to meet your family after being on a strange, foreign world for that long.

[personal profile] a_human_work 2014-02-27 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose that's true. And there's got to be a lot of work trying to make sense of everything that's happened over the last few years. I'm pretty sure most of it goes against what I learned in science class, at least.
gudbye_despair: (Hmm!?)

[personal profile] gudbye_despair 2014-02-27 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
That's true. Anyway, congratulation for your wedding, Miss Laura. I hope you like my gift.

(Elena's gift is unmistakeable. It's a beautifully well crafted, handmade, pair of wooden swans. With Laura's and Lily's head instead of swans head.

Hehe maybe but giving anything less than 100% here would have left me feeling bad.

[Miki meanwhile is continuing to eliminate dresses in rapid succession.]
the_awakened_idol: (Why yes I am confident)

[personal profile] the_awakened_idol 2014-02-27 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose that's good enough.

[With her ego properly stroked Miki wraps her arms around Werter shoulders and quickly steals a kiss.]

Hmmm you were right, that champagne is really good.
the_awakened_idol: (Default)

[personal profile] the_awakened_idol 2014-02-27 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad it got your approval.

[personal profile] chozo_girl 2014-02-27 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I doubt that will be possible.

A vacation to Cosmic Ark, just the two of us!

But why stop there, right? There are whole bunch of places in the TSAB's Administered Zones that I never got the chance to visit, too.

I guess if these worlds were countries on Earth, this would count as a 'Round The World trip.
stardreadnought: (That Thing)

Not in person...that means...they're watching this from home?

"After a lot of consideration...I think I shall stay here." Matthew says. "I suppose you could say that this is a world I have put much work into, quiaff?"

He grins. "But I have heard that Joshua Radcliffe is working on dimension-crossing technology..."

[And one of the bouquets falls on the most unlikely person. That is, Pit]

Uh? What's thi- UWAH!

[And he's buried under leaping idols]

I guess so? I mean, I don't know how good of a character witness I can be, seeing as-[He is cut off as the purple-haired girl elbows him sharply in the ribs.]

...why yes, yes I am! And don't worry. Lily's a space cop-she fights crime, stops pirates, protects the innocent, that sort of thing. The Angel Force people dress funny and are robots, but they're still a disciplined police force.

No kidding. It's like a whole chalice get-together.

So, what have you been up to? I've been busy back at the academy, though there was some...turbulent stuff, after I came back.

Did you guys really fight a god?

I believe it is meant to do quite the opposite, in fact.

But you can use it as soap, if you so desire. It is meant more as a piece of art and a good luck charm-I have had quite some time to practice carving.

[personal profile] saikyocivrobo 2014-02-27 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, science is a constantly evolving discipline. We keep making new discoveries, in all fields. And there were few periods in time when we made as many as over these past few years!
saikyocivrobo: (satisfied)

[personal profile] saikyocivrobo 2014-02-27 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
The company is even better.
a_human_work: (Default)

[personal profile] a_human_work 2014-02-27 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah...I imagine a lot of those discoveries are going to call for major revisions. But you're more of an expert on that than me.
saikyocivrobo: (Default)

[personal profile] saikyocivrobo 2014-02-27 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Depends on the field. I'm not an omnidisciplenary scientist, remember. Just a chemist.

But I want to become a damn good chemist.
a_human_work: (Happy)

[personal profile] a_human_work 2014-02-27 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
It is. Practically a victory party too.

And I've been doing much what you'd expect. Testing Pandora and putting it to practical use in military operations and otherwise just waiting around at various military posting.

But what kind of stuff happened at the academy? Nothing too bad, I hope.
a_human_work: (Embarrassed)

[personal profile] a_human_work 2014-02-27 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
A chemist probably knows more about most disciplines than me. It's been years since I had science classes in school.
