Scene #3969: Speak Now Or Forever...

Owner	Pose
Julio Scoundrel	Wedding bells are the best. Even if they're for a ceremony where the joy might be a little bit, shall we say, one sided. The giant stone chapel is decked out - flowers strewn about, music playing, stained glass windows and everything, all ready for the bride and groom to celebrate their holy union. But all is not well within; one of the chaplains here is a spy, working for a certain notorious sky pirate to inform him when weddings that may not be completely uncoerced might be taking place. That man is completing a sending right now, while the ceremony gears up. "We've got another one for you. Hurry, they said they needed it done by the end of the night. It is a weird one, too, th.." And the chaplain curses, mildly, as the sending completes after the word too. With no other copies at the ready, he'll mumble to himself. "Well. Julio'll figure it out once he gets here, I'm sure." That duty done, he'll step back out of his office, his ceremonial robes in place and a bright smile on. "Okay! Who's ready to get married?" Meanwhile, somewhere far away - but not too far - an older gentleman will hurry out of his barber's, playing with the radio he just acquired and heading for his airship.
Cirno	Wedding bells are indeed the best! Even if the bride and groom are... something of a mismatch. The groom will be readily visible, looking awkward and uncertain as to how he got into this. He's a large, broad-shouldered sort that might have giant blood in him, from the look of things. Surprisingly, he cleans up rather well, in a nice-looking tuxedo and everything. He's also scowling a little. Next to him is the bride! She is already here. "That is us! We're going to be married and be the PERFECT COUPLE! I hear there is cake after!" That is probably the only reason Cirno is getting married. She /has/ managed to find a ridiculous-looking dress though. It'd be a very pretty dress on someone not her size and build. "Oh right!" Clearing her throat, she holds up her hands and clasps them in a fake-looking blush and giggle.
Tomoe	Wedding a nice change of pace, Tomoe was here as her Salamander self which had long ago become more /her/ than the body of flesh she was born into. She was pretty happy todeay htough as she was all dressed up for the occasion and seemed to mind tht Cirno was here, right? It's not like she would get down on two people's most joyous of days, right?
Sanary Rondel	Off on one side of the chapel is a dapper young fellow in a dark purple suit, watching proceedings for what's surely to be a... Wedding! Maybe not the best one, but it's... /A/ wedding! If not for the purple suit and eyepatch, this young man probably wouldn't look too out of place at just about any formal gathering! Wait. Eyepatch? That's not a young man at all! Not that Sanary expects anyone but Cirno to realize that today, since she has the magic of BINDERS to keep herself from being identified too easily. She's received orders to come here in disguise, although she's not quite sure why. From the looks of it, was she meant to come here as security? R If she had known that ahead of time, she probably would have brought more than zero weapons today. Sanary's hoping she won't need them, but... Well, there's always the hope that the heavy magic bricks she's left under most of the seats will be sufficient for that. She does chuckle quietly at Cirno's apparent exuberance, at least, although... Ah, it'll probably be fine. No sense worrying too hard about it!
Julio Scoundrel	Off where the airship was parked, it'll start flying to the chapel with record speeds. It will, of course, be on just the right pace to arrive there at the optimal moment, the nick of time. Meanwhile, the priest will be buying that time as best he can, looking at the somewhat crazed faerie. He's certainly not going to break the news that they don't presently have cake available, nor object to the wedding by anything other than calling for Julio. "Alright, then! If you two would like to get started. Is anyone here to serve as a proper witness? Perhaps you, or you?" By SHEER COINCIDENCE, the cleric is gesturing at the other player characters in the room. "You would make a lovely best man." He'll tell Sanary. "And you a bridesmaid..." That's to Tomoe, of course. "It's important to do these things properly." He'll assure Cirno, particularly. "It makes the cake tastier."
Cirno	"I don't wa-" The large man starts to say... but Cirno cuts him off with a withering, chilled glare. Literally, because his teeth start to chatter. She probably doesn't even know what she's getting into, despite all her intelligence now. Wedding -> cake is a simple enough equation for the reknowned engineer. "That's fine! Don't worry, I'm not like Utsuho, I don't want to just throw on a dress and say it's done!" She nods firmly, recalling the last time she had to deal with a wedding dress.
Sanary Rondel	Should Sanary have some moral objecitons to this? Probably. Does she? Yes. Is she going to do anything to stop it? Hell no. Not when she's all dressed up like this! Plus, she doesn't want to get frozen. Being at a normal body temperature is very important to her well being! Besides, the cleric is looking right at her and Tomoe. Not one to disappoint, she looks over at Tomoe with a small shrug before stepping forward to take her rightful-not-so-rightful place as today's best man! "Happy day, eh?" She chimes, trying to lighten the mood at least a little while glancing between Cirno and the large man. The latter might even get a sympathetic look, but only for a moment.
Tomoe	Tomoe Does not seem troubled by being a bridemaid she seemd to be in good mood about it and she grins a little bit. "I have no problem with this." She honesly in the best mood she's been in, for some time and looks over to SAnary and Cirno for a moment she impishly grins.
Julio Scoundrel	The priest will smile at Sanary. "Of course. Thank you for your assistance." The large man will also grunt something that could be 'thanks', or could be 'help'. It's hard to be completely certain, really. "Dear friends, we are gathered here today to celebrate the joining of this man and this, er, woman in holy matrimony." He manages to only stumble a little bit on the words, before resume the long, long, long marriage ceremony. There's a sound in the background. A whizzing, mechanical sound, as the priest finally reaches what might be the climax of the ceremony. "And so, at long last, if anyone, anywhere, god or mortal, man or woman, person or halfling has any reason imaginable to object to this wedding, speak now or forever hold your peace." "I object!" Comes a yell from outside, before the largest of the stained-glass windows bursts inwards, spraying glass everywhere. A man on a rope has appeared, landing on his feet, uninjured by this entrance. His stylish mustache is just as pointed as the sword he will wave. "I think you're making a Giant mistake!" This lower-rent pun will go unnoticed by the priest, who's muttering may be overheard. "Dammit, Julio, you know that was my favorite window."
Tomoe	Tomoe is quiet and seemky happy as the marriage is well under way, she listens as it goes on but then something happens when he calls for if anyone knows why they should not be married comes up? Normally that was a formality a final check against say two siblings unknowningly marrying or the like. Then somes someone kicking down the window and she pauses /staring for a moment. "Wait... what?!"
Sanary Rondel	Too bad for Mr. Giant. At least the wedding itself is... Wedding-like. Sanary's never been one for long proceedings, and this one is getting longer than she'd like. Then again, it could just be that she's not used to formal weddings, but whatever. It's not every day she gets to be a best man! Inwardly, she's probably crying just a little. Her disguise is working, at least! Once that voice comes from the roof and the ceiling breaks, however, she's quick on the defense! Raising her hand, she wills a thin umbrella-like structure around herself and... Gets cut the fuck up by falling glass. She hasn't quite mastered making thin things with her magic yet, and that thing she made is only about as strong as one-ply toilet paper! At least she didn't get any in her eye.
Cirno	Cirno is giddily clapping her hands as the ceremony gets to the important part. Of course it's unlikely to end properly anyway, because she's unlikely to want to do the final parts because that would be ewwy. She hasn't really thought this through! Fortunately she's saved(?) from embarrassment by the shattering of the window! "What?!? Who are you and why are you crashing my wedding!" A small pause. "Literally crashing! Look at all that glass! This insult will not go unPUNished!"
Julio Scoundrel	Julio is a bit slow to pick up on just what's happening, and the giant is kind of threatening when you've just come through the window. This is why he's going to make the mistake of dashing to the altar, trying to sweep Cirno off her feet into one arm while holding his saber up towards the giant. This may or may not work, but he'll get off the one liner anyways. "Unhand her right now! You're going to be he... What?" His pun is interrupted before he can stab the groom, at least, by the priest. The priest has been saying, in a rising voice. "Julio. Julio! JULIO!" This is the perfect opportunity for Cirno, if she'd like, to make it clear who the villain of the piece is.
Tomoe	Tomoe is not sure who to go after here as she rises up, prehaps it's Cirno's fate to chose which way Tomoe will end up going, while seemingly unarmed she's very much not. Given the access to her magic at the very least or even some weapons. She's already rising up in the pew and calls out. "If they must not be wed the question is now /why/ you not said so. What is this mistake they are making?!"
Cirno	And... Cirno is swept up by Julio Scoundrel! Another maiden saved(?) by the dashing rogue, as always! Except... she blinks a few times, the long braid her hair is in draping over one arm while the tiny fairy's crystalline wings flutter. "Hey! This isn't the time to be interrupting MY WEDDING! You'll make the groom and everyone get COLD FEET!" As soon as she says that, the floor of the chapel ices over at an alarming rate, crystallizing frost slicking it down... though she forgot to warn the witnesses and allies about this, oops.
Sanary Rondel	Shaking broken glass off her suit and healing up the cuts on her face, Sanary gives the dashing rogue and the icy maiden a bewildered look while trying to figure out just what's going on. "I... Uh. Y.. Yeah, this is her wedding, sir." Is she supposed to be rescuing Cirno now? Or... From the sudden drop in temperature in the chapel, it doesn't seem like the fairy is going to need much saving. The healer lowers herself slowly as her shoes start to slip on the icy floor (damn you, tractionless dress shoes), eventually just settling into a very un-gentlemanly squat by the priest. She does brace her hands on the floor after a moment, at least, looking like she's ready to sprint. At who, though?!
Julio Scoundrel	The rogue will drop the fairy as ice spreads through the room, slipping on it, but managing to land on his feet. He'll look over at the priest for confirmation, confused, then over at the giant man. Who does not have nearly that level of balance and is now on the ground. "...I don't think I can pick him up for a dashing rescue. My back isn't what it used to be, you know, and he's not really my type." This just has Julio bewildered, so he'll just offer Sanary a hand up, before looking to Cirno. "Aren't you a little young to be forcing people into a wedding? What is it that you would really like?"
Tomoe	Tomoe is now getting away from the ice it seems Cirno seems to be pretty able yo handle thing she does fold her arms now but that's when she end up losing her balance much like sanry did but with her luck she ends up WHAM flat on her face looking more than a little bit dazed.
Cirno	As she's dropped unceremoniously, Cirno wobbles and rights herself, fluttering up to steady herself in midair. She pouts as her hands are on her hip. "I'll have you know I'm over a hundred years old, and still a young maiden ready to be wed! Well, at least over sixty. Maybe older. I don't really remember!" She stamps her foot, in midair. "And it's not important! I'm going to marry this guy because the lady said he would make a great husband!" And then... "And if I have a good wedding, I can have WEDDING CAKE which is even better! Why else would you have a wedding?" She looks to Tomoe and Sanary for a gesture of support. "Ask my witnesses!" She still hasn't noticed that the entire floor is ice.
Sanary Rondel	Type? Looking from Julio to the giant man, Sanary peers at the two while getting up with the former's assistance, eventually shrugging lightly and half-sliding half-shuffling over to assist the giant. "A shame. Well... Better luck next time?" The healer's not even sure what to make of this. Did he really come here expecting to rescue someone with a flashy entrance like that? When Cirno gives her reasons for having the wedding, though, the healer bites back a laugh before turning to the fairy. "If that's the case... Well, Prince Charming's right there." She chimes in and gestures... At the giant. "He hasn't left yet, so... Shall we proceed with the ceremony?" She's been here this long. She's not about to leave without cake, either.
Julio Scoundrel	There's only one way for Julio to deal with this, of course. "Well, my dear. You shouldn't rush a life-long choice just for wedding cakes. You should learn to do things the way that sky pirates do - by asking for it. Now, do you want to get married, my fine gentlegiant?" The groom desperately shakes his head, allowing Julio to continue. "So. Priest. Bring out the cake!" "Julio, we don't have any.." "Then go order one!" And so it was that, after a brief interlude for emergency cake-ordering, everyone had cake. Even the priest, and the groom. And there was much rejoicing, with a truly happy ending for all involved.
Tomoe	Tomoe is left very confused she had no idea if this was a shotgun wedding it didn't seem like it wa to be such and the fae woman is just looking ery confused to the point her ears droop down a little bit shje just looks very confued but when the cake is ordered she's fine and can live with this as no one ended up hurt right nd it was white the tale to tell for later.
