♬ from this moment on- shania twain ft. bryan white

WHO || Vi, Luthir, Wynn, Jack, Myri, Finnick, Francesca, Val'drin, Spike, Dumage, Felicity, Gus, Astrid, Fred Jr., Kat, Gar, Buffy, Rafael, Elena, Alaric, Rose, Dimitri, Aedan, Dovan, Lan, Zero, Koraith, Mark, Dawn, Archer, Des, Zarad, Alex, Faith, Faye, Sean, Anastacia [closed]
WHAT || Vi and Luthir's wedding
WHERE || Chelsea Physic Garden, London
WHEN || June 6th, evening
HOW || Actionspam

Now officially Knighted, Vi exchanges her ceremonial armor for a wedding gown, and the guests head into London to gather at the Chelsea Physic Garden.  The evening is warm and clear, and the flowers in full bloom, chairs set up on the main lawn with name tags on them for people to find their seat.  Gentle Elvish music plays everyone in, and at the front of stands an arbor covered in wisteria.  It's a remarkably peaceful setting, enough to dispel further some of the grimness of the past few days and create an atmosphere of smiles and warmth.    It seems to reinforce what Luthir has been telling Vi all along: that maybe now more than ever, this is the sort of thing they need, in order to remember what they're all fighting for.

[ maybe i didn't have anything special to say, i just wanted to link how hot he looks.

also laughing at the url there.

anyway. zarad meets des' gaze and notices the concern there, adding: ] He's a celebrity. I don't exactly think they run on the same schedule as the rest of the world, whether they'd like to or not.

I'm sure it's fine.

[ex_ric243]

[Don't worry, Elena. Ric came prepared. He used to be a boyscout, remember? Wait, nevermind.

But he's got a flask of bourbon and after she goes stiff besides him, he just kind of casually offers it over to her.

A+ parenting right here. Look, some things called for exceptions. Weddings happened to be one of those.]

[nothingsodivine]

[yes, baby. you're so hot right now. des sucks in a relieved breath, except it's cut short as Buffy's words hit him.]

The hell do you mean you too?

[notaroundme]

[There are people talking about pregnancy down the way (listen 27) on top of this sleep shit so she's about to have a fucking panic attack all of a sudden in her seat so Ric is basically a life saver jfc.

Have the most grateful look ever, Dad. Before she takes a long pull of that flask. Yep.]

[slay]

Been a bad week for dreams.

[ she's being deliberately obtuse, and it's apparent in how she studies his reaction to see if it's really the same; des has been with her in most of what she's been through. it wouldn't be unheard of for him to get the same visit. ]

[ex_ric243]

Might wanna take it easy there. [Slow down, gurl. That's some hard shit and you're a stick.]

[notaroundme]

[She hands him the flask back, wiping her mouth with her thumb.]

I'm fine.

[But she leans against his shoulder. She sure does look tired.]

[nothingsodivine]

Yeah. It has.

[(Wis 19- yeah apparently they really are that gay) He leans across the aisle a little further.] Tell me you said no.

[slay]

What do you think?

[ seriously, bitch? buffy spares a glance up towards the ... front ... wedding ... area ... there's a word for that. ]

But I did take the chance to get some answers, and I don't think this is what we've thought it was. We need to talk about this before we run out of time: nothing kills the mood on a honeymoon like a dead wife.

[nothingsodivine]

He actually gave you straight answers? He measured dick with me for five minutes.

[God, Buffy. Is it because you have boobs and are actually capable of not letting your machismo override your sense.

He has not noticed Elena, because he BOMBED EVERY SPOT AND WIS CHECK RELATED TO HER FOR THE PAST FOUR COMMENTS, SWEAR TO GOD.]

[slay]

Yeah, well, I don't have the requisite parts for that.

[ yeah buffy legit crit failed noticing what's up with elena so ... ]

He was serious about wanting to help her. That's worth enough to sit down and really talk this through.

[nothingsodivine]

[Des's intense stage whispering kicks up a notch as he continues to hang out of the aisle like a madman.] Are you insane? You don't go to bat with people like this. They'll sell you anything and make it sound like the truth. Maybe he's right, but it ain't worth making deals with him over. Any deals.

[fornicator]

[ zarad lays one calming hand on des' knee when he gets all super intense over there, and says in a careful tone, quietly: ] You're missing the vows.

[nothingsodivine]

[Des relaxes a bit, but he still looks put out. Vi's yelling up there doesn't really help matters, so it's all a very nice cocktail of Des shutting the hell up. He shoots Buffy a look that says LATER in big neon letters and straightens back up.

And also places a hand on top of Zarad's. Just because.]

[ex_ric243]

[He feels kind of useless seeing her like this, but she can use him for a pillow all she wants.]

You know you wouldn't need to twist my arm if you didn't want to stay for the reception.

[He was just putting that out there. If Elena wanted to dip she wouldn't have to feel shitty about being the only one who left early.]

[notaroundme]

[She just shakes her head.]

Vi's been there for me. I need to be here for her.

[They'll dip when it okay for her to do so. Not before.]

[nothingsodivine]

[blah blah wedding stuff. blah blah.

AND OH HEY. A Rafael. As soon as he sits down, Des leans over the aisle again.]

Good timing, Fluffy.

[romanticidal]

I had some trouble in the end getting away. Burt had a sudden awards show for me to be attending. [ he lowers his voice more, as if realizing he's TALKING OVER THE GOOD PART OF THE WEDDING. he does add though: ] Isabella agreed to go in my stead and he relented finally.

[slay]

Well, I'm glad you made it.

[ she turns to smile at him, then gestures up towards the ceremony. ]

Right on time, too.

[ which is her subtle cue for des to SETTLE DOWN ON INTERRUPTING THE CEREMONY. ]

[ironsides]

[ it's of worth noting that behind buffy, dovan has started sobbing and honking his nose.

he's just

s-so happy :') ]
