WHEN || September 18, 2015; 4PM onwards [backdated]
HOW || Actionspam

The ballroom of the hotel is a study in elegance, which isn't surprising considering who the bride is, but perhaps more surprising are the personal touches and sheer sentimentality of the room. Circular tables are scattered on the edge of the dance floor, covered with ivory tablecloths, and while there isn't a seating chart, everyone invited can find a place card with their name scrawled on it so they can claim their spot at a table. Along with the simple centerpieces and floral arrangements, each table holds a different photo of Lila and Sylar, often times selfies, and a location that has some sentimental meaning. London, Nando's, New York, Chicago, Tahiti, Andres, etc. (The tiny table for two by the dessert table is labeled Oregon.)

Once they're presented to the guests, Lila and Sylar have their first dance, to get it out of the way and so no one can ruin it. After a dinner of steak, crab stuffed sole, creamed potatoes, and late summer vegetables, the DJ starts playing dance music and probably won't stop all night if we're being honest. Castle party music this is not. There is a brief pause to cut the cake and so Lila can inhale about twelve petit fours by herself, but it's party, party, party all night long. And, oh yeah, it's an open bar.

[David nods.]

Good. Hopefully it'll be sooner, rather than later.

[He's not sure how much more certain members of this can handle, and Amara has been cursed long enough.]

[cigam]

Hopefully, but I can't imagine whatever kind of ritual's he's cooking up will be one we want to go into half-cocked.

[generaldavideus]

No, definitely not.

[If they do, it's a sure sign that it will probably blow up in their faces.]

I just think this has gone on long enough. Amara deserves to be free.

[And it'll probably make figuring out the Emma end of things easier.]

[cigam]

I don't think anyone's arguing that. But after what happened with Emma...

I just don't want this to end worse for anyone else.

[generaldavideus]

[He shakes his head. He doesn't particularly care what happens to him, but he doesn't want the rest of the team to get hurt.]

Me either. But this needs to end all the same.
