006: Welcome to Yamaguchi Starport

[terrymixon]

Arkar will wear a version of his traditional orange leather apparel, 3 piece, hinting at a morning coat style with a red silk small tie.

His hair is back and his 'Knitting Needles'. He will have a hip flask, hankey, grooming kit, hand computer and a box for everyone involved in the wedding.

Arkar

So noted.

[terrymixon]

Walt will have his "Regalia" styled suit and shirt cleaned by Metz' cleaning bot of the Administrator Kira's vomit. Following a shower, he'll wear that. Under the jacket he'll carry his Fusion Pistol in his left shoulder holster, his Knife Fab in left shoulder holster, and he'll have the grav dagger in an ankle holster. His Hypersonic G-Bike will carry a Solar Beam Rifle. "Be Prepared"!!

So noted.

She smiled. "Oh, I think we can come up with something suitable. Come to my ship and let's let my Lady-In-Waiting help us. You haven't met her yet, but Dame Adrianne will know exactly what to do."

Aster, Terresa, and Ciencia will take you to Pax Imperii and to the princess's personal quarters, which are substantially bigger than what she has aboard the Lost & Found. Dame Adrianne is a woman in her mid-thirties that is obviously younger to fit in with Ciencia but old enough to be a guide. She will greet you all and be told what is happening and be given Ciencia's instructions that she is to make this the very best gown she can for Jaelah given the time constraints.

Adrianne purses her lips and walks around Jaelah, examining her with an experienced eye. "I'll have to do a quick check, but I know we have a few things that would just dazzle with your coloration. I'll only have time to adjust one, but I shall not fail. Let's see which you prefer."

While she is gone, Ciencia and Aster try to come up with something suitable for the groom to find when he unwraps his bride, but nothing seems right until Terresa comes in with a selection of new undergarments in their packaging. "I've been saving these for Fredrick, but I can get more before we head out for Capital. It would honor me if you would accept them as a gift. Not the official wedding gift as I'll have to have more time to get something appropriate, but a little something from me."

They are all deliciously sexy and edge right up to teeter on the very naughty line. Roscoe might swallow his tongue.

Note: I don’t foresee weddings in the far future being limited to white and variants.

Adriane comes in a few minutes later with four gowns: one each in emerald green, sapphire blue, ruby red, and amethyst purple. They all get Jaelah's heart in her throat. All four are simply stunning and you know from past experience that those colors will utterly shine with your skin tone. "I have time to fit one, though the others could be fitted for other occasions. Which do you prefer?"

Jaelah smiled and blushed when Terresa presents the lingerie. "Thank you, I really appreciate these, and I think Roscoe will, too." She looks over the dresses, and selects the blue one. "Let me try this one."

She nods and heads out with the dress. Two other women show up to help you with hair and makeup. In half an hour, you are ready to roll in style. Aster and Bilis have raided the princess's closet and have gowns. Terresa is wearing her dress uniform.

"We're ready," the princess said as she steps out in her father's uniform. "Let's roll."

You can scroll back to the arrival scene I already wrote and pick up there.

[joertexas]

Roscoe has selected an area on a large, flat stone that is like a platform overlooking the river and the wilds beyond. The wind is slightly gusting, and you can smell the rain. He stands there with Metz at this side, tall and handsome, watching the air/raft approach even as Terresa and Fredrick come in to land and await their liege. Once the air/raft is down, way is made to allow Jaelah to step down first.

Jaelah steps out and makes her way toward the venue and Roscoe. She pushes the idea of rain out of her mind.

Roscoe looks stunned and then he smiles widely as you approach. "You look beautiful."

While you and he talk, the others will set up chairs and so forth. It'll be ready in just a few minutes, then Ciencia steps over to the cliff and peers over. "Nice. This is a fabulous location for a home. You'll need a teleportal for convenience, but I bet we can dig up some on Tech World."

The turns her back to the river behind her. "Are you ready?"

"I am," Roscoe said.

When Jaelah looks over to the side because she sees something move, she spots Void sitting on an outcropping, sniffing the air and watching you. He must've slipped aboard the air/raft.

"Void, come join us," she calls to the cat. She turns back to Roscoe and Ciencia. "Thank you, Roscoe. I am ready, Your Highness."

The cat jumps down and saunters over to stand close by but off to the side. He looks like he is part of the groom's party. Metz is there with Roscoe, and so is Garvin, William, and Fredrick. On the bride's side, Aster and Bilis stand next to Terresa.

"Okay, kids," the princess said. "This is going to be short and sweet because while my father can give a speech like no one's business, he also knows when to focus on the important things. Under Imperial Law, declaring yourselves wed in front of a group is sufficient, but there will be some talking. Follow along."

She looked over at the seated people. "You have gathered today to see Roscoe Adams and Jaelah Shugilamar wed. As the voice of my father, His Majesty Emperor Strephon Aella Alkhalikoi, I summon you all to hear his words. What matters most in a union is that the parties love one another and are true and faithful. I would hear Roscoe pledge himself to Jaelah. Choose your words carefully, as you will be judged most harshly if you fail in upholding them."

Roscoe took Jaelah's hands. "Even though I haven't known you long, Jaelah, I find that you are always in my thoughts. Your happiness is very important to me, and I believe that what we have will grow into a deep love with care and tending. I pledge myself to you, heart and mind. Together, we shall face all that life has to throw at us and build a family together. I could not dream of any other path forward and hope that I make you as happy as you make me."

The princess nodded and looked at Jaelah. "I would hear Jaelah pledge herself to Roscoe. Choose your words carefully, as you will be judged most harshly if you fail in upholding them."

Jaelah met Roscoe's gaze. "Roscoe, in the time that we've known each other, you have been a gentleman and someone I have grown to rely on in the chaos that has been my life of late. More than that, you have accepted me when I reached out to you. I pledge myself to you, heart, mind, and body, forsaking all others. We will face life, however long that is for us both, together. I cannot dream of any other path forward, and I hope to be a good wife to you."

I cannot dream of any other path forward, and I hope to be a good wife to you."

He takes your hands in his. "I, too, swear to give you my whole heart, mind, and body, forsaking all others. We are one and together we stand against the world. I will be the best husband I can, though I beg patience as I learn what that means."

"And they have pledged themselves to one another," the princess said. "I know you already have rings, so we'll skip that part. Here is where I, as your sovereign, have my say. I grant my protection to this couple I have bound together. If any should think to sunder their union, then they must first test my blade!"

She draws her sword and glowers--in a cute way--at everyone. "No laughing. I'm being serious here."

Then she sheathes her sword. "Will one of you be taking the other's name? It is done both ways in the Imperium, so dealer's choice."

Before Jaelah can speak, Roscoe does. "I will take Jaelah's surname. Adams was an afterthought and does not represent me in any way. From this day forward, I will be Roscoe Shugilamar."

[joertexas]

Before Jaelah can speak, Roscoe does. "I will take Jaelah's surname. Adams was an afterthought and does not represent me in any way. From this day forward, I will be Roscoe Shugilamar."

Jaelah can only nod as tears spring to her eyes. She grips her husband's hands and smiles as she tries to keep her composure.

"Then I present to you all, Mister and Missus Shugilamar. Long may their union last! Please, for God's sake, kiss one another!"

[Thumper]

Walt, who was not in the line, but rather formed the very small audience with Spicoli and Arker, and actually kept a close recon on their surroundings, let's out a cheer and claps for the couple!

[ateno]

"Wassail"

'Be of good health' or we can drink now right?

Arkar raises his glass of the last of the Absinthe from the first meeting of everyone.

" 'Ere's to the 'appy couple!" Garvin takes a nip from his his flask and offers it around.

Roscoe smiles and let's his wife make the first move.

[joertexas]

Roscoe smiles and let's his wife make the first move.

Jaelah doesn't keep him waiting, she wraps her arms around his neck and kisses him soundly. Then, she takes him by the hand and steps to one side, taking up wedding attendant positions.

He gives you a confused look but does as directed.

Aster smiled widely and sashayed over to Garvin. "Want to do something crazy? Let's do something crazy."

Then she grabs him by the belt buckle and drags him over to the princess, who raises an eyebrow. "They told me I had to stun you if you ran. Sorry." Then she laughed. "Just kidding. Terresa has a bola to take you down if you make a break for it. Saves time if you're conscious. So, are you in or out?"

Aster puts her lips to his ear, speaking low, her hot breath caressing his skin. "Don't worry that I'll make you swear to forsake all others. As long as we work them over together, we're good. I mean, who doesn't like a little strange every once in a while? Like that cute girl you were eyeing at the restaurant at Aki. Rrrar. If we ever go back, let's get that same room and have her... serve us." Then she nips your ear lobe. "If it would seal the deal, we could consummate the marriage right here in front of everyone, you wanting to do it in public and all. Or would educating the princess on the... ins and outs of sex be a bit much? I suppose Fredrick could cover her eyes while Terresa plugs her ears."

"Funny ideas" indeed.

[Tiglath]

Roscoe smiles and let's his wife make the first move.

Aster smiled widely and sashayed over to Garvin. "Want to do something crazy? Let's do something crazy."

An apparently baffled Garvin answers guilelessly "Where are we goin' to find another broom cupboard 'round 'ere?"

Then she grabs him by the belt buckle and drags him over to the princess, who raises an eyebrow. "They told me I had to stun you if you ran. Sorry." Then she laughed. "Just kidding. Terresa has a bola to take you down if you make a break for it. Saves time if you're conscious. So, are you in or out?"

As realization appears to dawn he then protests " 'Ang on... this is a trap! 'An its four on one an' two of you are armed..." eyeing the edge of the precipice over his shoulder "... I've been in tighter corners... just need to make meself a bit o' room...". Taking a sudden step back he deftly converts the retrograde move into dropping to one knee as he says "Lady Aster Treegarden will you marry me?" He cautions "You've caught me out with the ring mind. I would 'ave 'ad it by now but I 'ave been a bit busy recently... that an' there was a security upgrade so I 'ad to re-plan". He brightens "You can go an' see it if you like! It's in Delancy's - that bespoke jewelers, Banfi Starport - they don't put any prices on 'cos it's vulgar. Platinum and diamond. Stone's big enough but not ridiculous but with a really clever Iridium setting...".

Turning to Ciencia with a smile Garvin says "Crown Princess are you an' your sword free for the next few minutes? Looks like there might be another weddin' on the cards. Send Roscoe the bill but 'e'd like the two for one discount if it's all the same an' if you could just leave an extra blank line on me pardon that'd be 'andsome".

Aster puts her lips to his ear, speaking low, her hot breath caressing his skin. "Don't worry that I'll make you swear to forsake all others. As long as we work them over together, we're good. I mean, who doesn't like a little strange every once in a while? Like that cute girl you were eyeing at the restaurant at Aki. Rrrar. If we ever go back, let's get that same room and have her... serve us." Then she nips your ear lobe. "If it would seal the deal, we could consummate the marriage right here in front of everyone, you wanting to do it in public and all. Or is that too far? Would educating the princess on the... ins and outs of sex be a bit much? I suppose Fredrick could cover her eyes."

Garvin chuckles and then quietly growls his reply "You're ruddy amazin' but I think we should limit our sex education to... er... smaller select audiences... even if it is "by Imperial appointment". Er... does that mean... I mean is she...? Never mind - I'm nearly married! Anyway 'oo would cover poor old Frederick's eyes... ? Also, I don't think Roscoe would recognize "immediate consummation" as part of a traditional wedding service as per 'is weddin' planner an' I don't want 'im worryin' about any irregularities in the proceedin's on 'is big day. O' course that doesn't mean we couldn't make use of some local cover or fly off into that storm...".

[ateno]

From the cheap seats

"Hey Hey, if your getting married, I'm gonna be best man, that means I brought the ring! Right!

Arkar strides up confidently.

Arkar reaches into his pocket and brings out his silk hankey, in his orange color.

"This will have to do as a promise cause its all I got.

Arkar deftly ties a knot in the center and on the ends.

"I have heard of engagement necklaces, so make this a wedding bracelet."

Arkar stands nest to Garvin, smiling at the groomsmen behind him and hands the handkerchief to Garvin in a flourish and a bow.

Arkar
