Who: Axel et al
Broadcast: sure let's record this for posterity, everyone's invited
Action: on Accendo, in a tacky little chapel somewhere
When: Saturday, 14Feb, around noon

[Axel's still in his coat, forget dressing like a priest or anything weird like that--he's never been a religious sort. He's mostly here for the party, for the novelty of something like this. (There's an open bar later, he hears.) Plus he's just been in a really good mood all week, so maybe he's a little more amenable to such things than usual.

[The Accendo authorities gave him permission to marry Jordan and Alex as a ship captain, and while the marriage will only be legal on this moon, it's still better than nothing. It's also a good excuse to bank a favor. He read up on how these ceremonies work, and it's a little hokey, but he supposes hokey's more fun.

[He's just sitting in the front pew with his arms spread across the back, waiting for one or both of the lucky grooms to show up. Come on in and join the cheesiest Valentine's Day wedding ever!]

Naminé... Hmm.

[He pauses in thought for a moment, and then goes back to work.]

Was she from Castle Oblivion?

[got_it_memorized]

[Axel frowns a little. He wonders what became of Naminé, honestly. Well, wherever she is, she's probably better off there than in the Organization's hands.]

Hm? Mm... yeah, she was there when I was. She went missing before the mission ended, though.

She drew all kinds of things, though, you never saw her without her sketchbook. It was pretty cool, honestly. I mean I can't even really draw stick figures.

[journeybroken]

I'm not very good, I think. But I've never really tried before, so...

[There we go, tacked a little left. He climbs down.]

How's this look?

[got_it_memorized]

Only way you get better's by doing it.

[Axel backs up to get a wider look at the banner, then nods.]

Looks good, kiddo! Come on down from there and I'll show you where they're keeping the hors d'oeuvres for the after-shindig. We've got a little time before the ceremony.

[journeybroken]

... What are those?

[Coming down and walking over to Axel. That words is weird. Or Durves???]

Your first lesson in French, Roxas: hors d'eouvres are fancy little snacks that fancy people eat at fancy parties. Now, I'm not a fancy guy, but I like free food, so what say you we go investigate, huh? [He claps him on the back.] I guess you've never been to a wedding before, have ya?

[journeybroken]

Mm, no. [The banner says happy wedding]

Don't really know what it's about.

[let's just follow you to the food though, yes]

[got_it_memorized]

[They make their way back to the little kitchen in the back of the chapel, and Lea opens up a tall refrigerator and pulls out a tray of fancy finger sandwiches. All vegetarian, of course. He sets it down on the counter and picks one up by the toothpick, popping it in his mouth. Ooh, cucumber!

[He picks up another and offers it to Roxas.]

Weddings are funny. It's like a big ceremony to make it official that you're gonna spend the rest of your life with somebody. And there's lots of different ways you can do it. Some weddings are super religious, others don't bring that up at all. Some have rings, others fasten the two people's hands together... it all depends on where you are, I guess. Everybody's got different traditions, but weddings as a concept are pretty universal, so far as I know.

[journeybroken]

... Huh... So is it a love thing?

[Like the beast...

He takes it by the toothpick and eats it, eyes popping a little wider. Hes just... gonna pick up a second one, these are good...]

[got_it_memorized]

Mm, most of the time, I think. [He pops another sandwich and chews thoughtfully.] Not always. Some people do it for other reasons, but I think it's usually a love thing. [He shrugs.] It's not something I ever really put a lot of thought into, personally.
