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.

Sort of. [Except it was only really him filling in Elena. (unsure)]

So Vi tells me you're a superhero. [Topic change!]

[ raf cracks an amused smirk at that ] ... This may be a good way to put it, si. [ he loves u buffy ]

[slay]

[ buffy's eyebrows raise and she almost chokes on a fry that she's stuffing into her mouth. she holds a hand over her mouth and chokes it down while rafael comments (she hasn't decided if she appreciates the remark or if he'll pay for making it worse and teasing her later). ]

She did. [ it's a statement of surprise and she nods, processing it. ] Well, that's sweet, but I'm not really—I mean, it's more complicated than that. I'm just, y'know. Stronger than your average bear. [ awkward smile. ]

[notaroundme]

I don't know, I think super hero pretty much covers it.

[All the Buffy love at this table rn.]

[Aedan and Hayley have been there I guess they were just ... listening really fucking intently or something. It probably doesn't help that neither of them know anyone at the table idk. EXCEPT HAYLEY DOES ASKDJF

But when talk of superheroes comes up, Aedan perks a little because I am pretty sure that Vi's education into the modern world included comic books or at least comic heroes to some degree doesn't Disney own that shit anymore?}

Do you wear a cape? [That's it. That's his contribution to this conversation. Why do I play these characters...]

[slay]

I, uh—[ she laughs. awkwardly. so awkwardly. ]—No. No cape. [ she presses her lips in a tight smile and looks down at her food. ]

[consequence]

[Sure, Hayley knows people at the table. Well, person. She knows a person at the table and she's actually heard ... interesting things about Alaric. Those interesting things are filed under "He probably doesn't want to hear about that." which, considering most the people here seem to have forgotten most of their lives - she's been quiet.

Also, she is pretty much pushing along toward her due date and there's food. Don't fault the pregnant werewolf for eating instead of gossiping with strangers.

Though, she's not going to hide her smirk when Aeden asks about a cape. In fact, considering most of his their conversations she's glad that he's associated super heroes with capes.]

It would probably get in the way, anyway. [SHE SPEAKS.]

[ex_ric243]

[With his lap as dry as it's going to get for now, Alaric focuses his attention back on this ... conversation. Or, the people involved anyway. He's been tutoring Faye off and on for a while, and Hayley definitely looks a lot like her so excuse him if his gaze lingers.]

Are you one of the new arrivals? [Well, "new" almost a month later. Look there had been a lot of them this last month.] I don't think I've seen you around.

[consequence]

[There's never been a better moment to make a joke about Hayley being difficult to miss... but instead she just raises her eyebrows in a 'seriously, I am almost two people.' look.]

I don't get around that much, [Because, if she wasn't a werewolf she'd be on bed rest at this point...] but I guess I'd fall into that newly arrived category.

I'm Hayley.

[notaroundme]

Well, welcome to the craziness, Hayley.

[She gives her a welcoming smile.]

I'm Elena. It's nice to meet you.

[consequence]

[It's only slightly awkward to be introduced to someone you already know, but Hayley seems okay by it. She's been here for a month, so she's getting used to just casually ignoring any casual acquaintances. Honestly, she barely knew Elena. Now, Katherine was a different story, but one she's not going to tell here either. It's definitely not wedding reception conversation.]

Thanks, it seems like I'm definitely getting the slow start to this place. Unless there's a wedding every month.
