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!]

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.

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.

Mostly the same sort of stuff. Tests, practice, evaluating new equipment...

I had something of a falling out with my father after I stopped pretending to be a boy, but I can live without him. I've got Laura, after all, and other people who care.

...Though she is kind of weird, sometimes.

[So that was what this was about.]

Yeah, I'd say that parents who do that are people you can live without. Still having others to support you helps a lot.

But...What do you mean she's weird?
infinite_prince: (This is all well and good but can you pl)

Well, uh...

I don't know if you were here for it, but I had to rescue her from the Valkyrie Trace system. And since then, she's taken to calling me her wife.

It gets kind of embarrassing sometimes...

[personal profile] a_human_work 2014-02-27 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't even know what the Valkyrie Trace system is...

But that seems to be moving a bit fast...And like it could get embarrassing.
