The Marriage of Rick Pereg & Terri Nutkins

[Forn Clakes]

The day had finally arrived for Rick and Terri after months and months of planning. The big day when they would both swear to each other their unending love the only true way they can. The setting for the wedding is none other than the Rose Garden within McKinley Park, the place where it had all begun for the two, a place special in their hearts. White chairs had been arranged between the variously coloured roses, many of which were still in bloom thanks to the late summer heat that had persisted into autumn, all of which faced a white arch that had been draped in the bronzed colours of autumn. Xerxia stood just in front of the arch, where she would be overseeing the ceremony. Nearby, Rick and Marcus stood in conversation, waiting for guests to arrive. Thick, fluffy clouds gently rolled overhead, the sky was blue and the sunshine brilliant even as a light chill could be felt. Nothing threatening but simply making its presence felt in respect of this special day.

This scene is set on Saturday 24th September. Feel free to narate your character arriving and being ushered to a seat by Mr. Bates, having a quick word with Marcus and Rick, etc.

[Rust Mane]

Rust/Alex arrives holding his invitation as if it is a ticket.

Just incase anyone is unsure.


He nods respectfully to Rick and Marcus and moves on. He isn't here to be anything more then a metal lion on the wall. Terri invited him. That meant more then she probably knew.

Should the usher try and move Rust toward the front, Rust protests. Or objects quietly. He wasn't here to be seen.

Maybe he should have stayed home. Rust wondered if he could handle seeing his crush slip away into another man's hands.

It is just a crush right? Rust's shin aches, he isn't sure.

[Nightfall]

Neil arrived a little early, his inner turmoil carefully hidden for Terri and Rick's day. He wasn't even sure if Alice was going to be around, and the thought turned the tips of his ears red with irritation.

Absentee Spring Queen? Not cool. Absentee Maid of Honor? Really not cool.

For once, he looked neat. His tuxedo was new and tailored to the Fairest's slim build, and his hair was as neat as it had ever been. Looking around, he spared a single, solitary thought for his own not-wedding and the dress Alice had picked out before wrapping the thought in cold, hard ice and pushing it into the dark corners of his mind.

He strode over to Rick and Marcus, and reached into a pocket as he neared them, fishing for something.

"Hey, that redhead Lexus from Ember said you owed her $1200...," he said, whispering and looking seriously at Marcus, then Rick.

The look only lasted a moment before he grinned and held out his hand to shake. "I'm kidding. How's things?"

[Tally Benoit]

Tally arrives wearing a woman's dress suit, it's a statement more for herself then for the people around her as it means she's trying to break away from the values of the society she grew up with as it had been scandalous for a woman to wear something that isn't a dress. She had gone with navy blue for the suit and pants while wearing a white blouse under it.

It didn't take long before Mr Bates ushers her to a seat. Once sitting, she glancing about the rose garden before looking forward towards Xerxia, who's overseeing the ceremony. What a nice setting for a wedding. The HunterHeart thinks to herself as she leans back in her chair, her back pressing against the back of the chair.

[Lesingnon]

Rick was nervous, he wasn't used to being nervous. He was usually calm, collected, confident. But apparently the wedding jitters spared no man, or King. Nightfall's jest brought another sliver of fear to him for a few long seconds, before he came clean. Not as bad as it could've been, though, since he hadn't ended up paying for much that night. "Nervously," the word is accompanied by a slight, genuine, grin...and a forced chuckle, "So stop trying to give me heart attacks, okay?"

Then Rook and Tom swing by, both offering their best wishes. He thanks both of them as they do. Afterwards, spinning the leaf briefly in his fingers by its stem as he inhaled the aroma. It was fairly relaxing, actually. Which was good, he could use that now. After pondering it for a few seconds he slips the leaf into one of the inner pockets of his tuxedo.

...then promptly fidgets slightly and adjusts his collar for the umpteenth time.

[Al-Adin]

Al-Adin has combed his hair, washed his clothes, and even from the smell of it, stole into someone's house and used the good bath equipment. He smiles at everyone, and walks over to Nightfall, his best buddy.
"That party was fun. But I woke up with a really realy bad headache." He looks at Rick, sizing him up and down. "You'll be a good Beast."

[Dusan]

Juno entered the gardens, her blue eyes studying the decorations for a moment. It was all a lovely sight, and certainly met with her own artistic approval. It had been a long time since there had been a happy event within the Freehold, and the Manticoress was indeed delighted (behind her inscrutable Feline demeanor, of course) to see that people were coming together on what promised to be a good day for a number of people.

The Manticoress couldn't do lovely things in terms of personal attire - her appearance pretty much didn't allow for it - but she had dressed in a black blazer, dark grey pants, and a white button-down shirt for the occaision. She had actually managed to bring some sense of order to the unruly mixture of human hair and fur on her head, every quill was in order, and even her tail tuft had been carefully groomed.

Seeking out the couple, she reminded herself that the bride always arrived after everyone had been seated, so she made her way over to Marcus and Rick. Inclining her head in a polite manner to the Autumn King, the Manticoress smiled, then, "My congratulations on such a happy occaision; I wish you and Terri many happy years together."

Looking at Marcus, Juno's tail curled slightly in a manner which hadn't been observed in quite a long time - perhaps the Fairest still had an interest in the Metalflesh after all - and she smiled warmly at him.

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she noticed that Alice seemed to be absent, and she looked at Nightfall with an expression that spoke volumes of I'm sorry. It didn't seem fair that on such a happy day where one couple was going to come together, another seemed to have drifted apart.

That troubled her. On a day where Desires were being met and celebrated, where was the Queen of Spring? Hope was alone, and it didn't seem right to her.
