Who: Everyone
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Kayanni System, the city
When: NOW

There is a wedding on the planet. You may know this because you were invited to this wedding by this little guy and it's a lovely ceremony! You can watch the couple get married, wether you know them or not, the whole fleet was invited.Even if they don't know you either.

Noctis was in all black and he was beside himself, the time had finally come and after seeing his beautiful bride he couldn't look away. The music was soft yet appropriate. Luna was beaming, holding onto Shiro's arm down the aisle until they were together and holding hands. The vows went on as if in another room. Noctis couldn't quite focus on them, he was fighting getting sucked into Luna's orbit and just kissing her prematurely. Distantly he heard his cue to repeat after the offician and he recited his vows word for word. Umbra had their rings ready for them. When he put Luna's on her finger he felt a tear spill down his cheek. He couldn't stop smiling. The officiant led Luna then and Noctis hung on every word. Her voice was melodic and soft. Then he had a ring on his finger and he felt himself crying again. He just looked at her, he officiant left them through the end, announcing it was over, they were married.

Noctis didn't wait for any cue, he pulled Luna in close and dipped her as they kissed.

They were laughing and crying and holding each other tight. They were in their own world for the time being. But the RECEPTION starts now. And that's what everyone really came for. There's alcohol, food in a buffet, and cake . Those of you at the cake tasting with them may notice the flavor you recommended is available as a donut! All of the suggested flavors are availalble, it was hard to decide who didn't get their favorite and what ONE flavor to make an entire cake out of. It didn't sit well with either of them.

Also sparklers There is a table with a few gifts on it, but it contains a large display of long sparklers with matches and a bucket of water saying "Please light up our night!"

SO Have at the reception everybody!

There is a: Dance floor with music booming, a buffet with delicious food and CAKE, There is BOOZE of all types and it's just flowing with no signs of stopping, and sparklers! Also dancing with the bride..... or getting a photo with the couple!

[Ignis spots the newcomer to the Fleet over by the banquet tables, partaking of the bounty laid out and has to hold back both a sigh and a laugh. It seems as if this man has the appetite of three men. Much like another person he knows.

With every effort to seem welcoming as he possibly can, Ignis approaches Zack with a smile and the thought of not laughing as he does so.]

If I can go by the way that you're consuming it, I would hazard that you find the food at least palatable. I suppose I should take that as a compliment.

[Zack has the decency to look a little sheepish, though admittedly not by much. At least this guy's more amused than mad. What a good host!]

Oh, did you cook? It's delicious! Seriously, can't get enough of this stuff. I haven't even been here a month and I'm already sick of rations.

[The smile he receives is full of life and sends a bang through Ignis that he's been ignoring. The scarred face, the hair color, the eyes, the obvious bulk of one in the line of fighting, they all remind him of Gladio.

But there is a slightly kinder look to his face than his friend.

Still the resemblance is enough, though superficial.]

I supervised most of the cooking, though I did make the desserts. [They are his specialty after all.] I am glad that you're enjoying the menu.

Which ship are you on? I am actually the ship's cook for First Breath, where the bride and groom are stationed.

[There's something about glasses that just spells trouble - too many scientists in his life, maybe - but they're attached to such a courteous-looking face that Zack finds it easy to ignore the feature.]

I got assigned to the Caprine. Not positive whether or not I'll stay just yet, but the people I've met are friendly enough.

[Wow, excuse. Ignis is a good soul. His glasses are for actual needs, not evil intents. You take that back.]

The Caprine, hm? I've not really met many people from that ship. It seems most of my acquaintance is either on my own ship or the Wonderduck. But I've found that a good deal of the people on the Fleet are nice people.

[He bites back a growl at the familiar flash of maroon hair and scruffy clothing.]

There are exceptions to that, however.

[Zack catches the expression and follows his gaze, trying to spot the source of his anger, since it came on so suddenly.]

An uninvited guest?

[Ignis has to stifle the desire to sigh heavily as he watches Ardyn approach Noctis and Lunafreya. Honestly, were is Gladio when he's most needed?]

Not exactly. I believe that Lady Lunafreya invited everyone. [But he seriously doubts she wanted her killer present at the wedding he stopped the first two times from happening.] However, it's likely that he's only here to cause trouble. It would fit with his modus operandi thus far.

Well, if you need a couple of strong-arm ruffians to play bouncer, Cloud and me are both here. We'd be more than happy to lend a hand.

[brb volunteering Cloud without asking

though Luna is apparently his friend, so he doubts it would be a problem.]

[Ignis takes a moment to look back over at Zack and the vague resemblance to Gladio is reinforced. He has to smile.]

I know of Mr Strife, so the offer is a welcome one. We are actually down a member of our usual retinue. Perhaps your arrival is a more than just fortuitous for your friend.

[And then he remembers his manners. Too much time with Prompto and daemon lords, evidently. He offers his hand in formal greeting.]

Ignis Scientia, friend and retainer to the groom.

[Mr. Strife, pfft... he probably hates that.

Zack accepts the hand, though, offering back a firm shake.]

Zack Fair, guest that no one knows yet! Pleasure to meet you.

[Someone has manners and unless he's been told that it's okay to refer to them by their given name, he will greet them formally. So, the onus is on Cloud.

Good. A firm handshake is a good sign, and Ignis can feel the strength behind the arm.]

Well, Mr Fair, the pleasure is all mine. These affairs don't happen all of the time, but they are frequent enough. I'm sure that we'll have the opportunity to meet again under auspicious reasons.

[Both Noctis and Lunafreya have birthdays coming up soon, after all.]

Until then, feel free to enjoy everything here.

[wow dude Mr. Fair is his FATHER]

Um... don't have to be so formal, Zack's fine. And I'll definitely enjoy it all! I'll have to try some of your dessert before the party's done.

[ Hate to break it to you, but your dad's not here. So that leaves only you. ]

I will keep that in mind, Zack, but old habits die hard, I'm afraid.

[Look, you try being raised to be the steward to the King of Kings. It's a hard job.]

I hope that you do more than just eat the food. While I know that it's good, Lady Lunafreya and Noctis want everyone to have as much fun as possible. And eating can only account for so much pleasure.

[No, he is not looking around at certain people when he says that.]

Also, I feel obligated to warn you, but if you don't want pictures taken of you in strange poses, you'd do best to avoid Prompto and his camera. Though I'm not sure that's possible at this point in time.

Haha, that's fine. Pictures of the guests is a big part of throwing a wedding like this, after all! Though I don't know who Prompto is, so should I just keep an eye out for the camera?

[what sort of strange poses do people make at weddings?? ~~one might ask the same thing of road trips~~]

He is a lean blond with a camera. I doubt that you'll be able to escape him. At least once.

[How many random pictures did they have of Dave, Monica and Cor? A lot. A lot a lot.]

Pictures might be par for the course at a wedding, but taking them is one of Prompto's passions.

Well, I don't mind. A guy like me doesn't have a bad side to photograph!

[Something about his casual tone and the devilish grin on his face is supposed to take the edge off the egoism of such a comment. Girls dig a cute face, and scars are cool! The glowing eyes add an air of mystery! Or, something like that.]

You sound awfully confident.

[And while Ignis can point out that the statement is rather egotistical, there is something about Zack that is half-joking that anyone with eyes and ears can see and hear. Although, in his favor is the fact that he appears to be in good shape and relatively good looking as well. (Further emphasizing his superficial resemblance to Gladio yet again.)]

I have a friend that would agree with you full-heartedly, but I am afraid that he's not here.

Well, that's a damn shame. I think it's important to have confidence in yourself!

[heaven knows that the people he usually ends up surrounding himself with need it, badly.]

I agree that confidence does help one get ahead, but it's a fine line between that and egotism.

[One that Gladio treads carefully and Ardyn lost himself over ages ago.]

Perhaps we should enlist you in teaching that particular skill to those that require it on the Fleet.

I don't know how teachable it is, it's just kind of something I feel. But there's no harm in trying, I guess.

I fear it's not that teachable. At least where Prompto is concerned.

[He's tried. He looks out at the party and sees the blond behind the lens of his camera, talking and joking with other guests as if there was no problem.]

If we were to take the camera away from him, he would have a hard time conversing with others.

[Look, Mom's gonna mom.]

Hey, have a little faith! Anybody can be confident if they get the experience.

[he wholeheartedly believes in you, strange shy boy he has never met before.]

Maybe he just needs coaching.

You do have a point. Experience is really the best teacher.

[Not giving a crap what others think also helps, but not likely for Prompto.]

Are you offering your services in this instance, Zack?

Hey, why not? Might be fun, and if it helps someone, all the better.
