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!]

I didn't know you could be such a taskmaster, Pit.

[Tobia's just here to steal a few snacks. They taste better when taken directly from the kitchen!]

Balancing catering for like a hundred people is hard! And these guys kept trying to do some thing that called "ote kissin" or something, that basically involved making people pay for almost eating! But Lady Palutena sent me here to make sure this banquet worked and I'm going to make it work even if I have to put these guys in the same training as the Centurions! [He turns again and tastes a little of a sauce. He smiles] Ah, that's perfect, Yves. Did you add a touch of cinnamon? I hadn't thought of that, but it really works! [He looks at Tobia again] How are the lamb plates? Getting empty already? I haven't been able to go check in a while!

Now I'm glad I was never under your command. I've never seen you so serious before!

Lamb? You mean that thing everyone is getting? I thought that's steak! Explains why it doesn't taste much like steak though!
can_not_fly: (Holy crap!)

Food is serious stuff! [Pit says this with absolute conviction. Serious business indeed.]

[The other news Tobia brings him make him panic, though]

Oh no no no! I didn't expect them to be this popular! Jacques, how is the second run of lamb coming? [There's a shout from the back that amounts to "about ten minutes left"] Ah, darn it. Get the fish out there and see if we can distract them enough to not notice the empty plates! Here, Tobia, since you're here, take these trays back to the tables when you go! [Tobia, you just got shanghaied]
not_the_deer: (oh no he's gonna snap!)

Wait wait, what? I'm not on the staff! I'm not even dressed the part...!

[Too late. Stolen.]
