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!

Pidge - come say hi~

[pidge_out]

--Before the Wedding; LANCE--
[It's a few hours before the wedding. Pidge has been told she should come along, be with the whole team, meet some new people in the fleet. Reluctantly, she agreed. And now she's realizing that her gut instinct to say "No" was probably right. Which is why she shot off a message to Lance that really just says "SOS 911 come by asap".

It's vague, and maybe adding "SOS" and "911" is a bit dramatic. But it's Lance, so she's hoping it works out in her favor. After all, Pidge has absolutely no clue what she's supposed to wear. The Blue Paladin is kind of the only person she knows that might know better.]


--RECEPTION TIME--
[Eventually Pidge ends up in a dark suit and green top, and attempts to keep her hair neater than usual have been made with clips and gel and whatever else Lance did. But despite the fact that she's looking like a proper human being that knows how to socialize and interact with others, she's keeping to herself at her table with a glass of water. She just spends most of her time watching everybody else and occasionally snapping pictures of her friends while they have fun. Pidge is glad everyone's having a good time, though, and is trying to be on her best behavior for all their sakes.]

/SLAMS INTO

[the_tailor]

[Lance has been plotting out the day so far; when to get dressed and get himself ready, when to go to Shiro's, making sure to give a wide berth in case of emergencies. Like this. He's a little panicked when he makes his way over to the Bishop because Pidge rarely texts about emergencies. At least to him. He bursts into her room, concern lining his face.]

Pidge, what's wrong???

sorry lance

[pidge_out]

[She'll feel bad about panicking him later. Right now he's bursting in on her standing in the middle of the room, facing a full-length mirror with her hands tangled up in her hair while she attempts to... do... literally anything to it, a rubber band caught between her teeth. There are some clothes scattered around on the floor, all of varying sizes and types (because she may or may not have just nicked them from some of the other Bishop crew members).

Pidge just looks over at him when he comes in, blinks twice, and then says simply-] What am I supposed to wear to this thing?

no ur not

[the_tailor]

[...

Yeah. He's definitely gonna throttle you about now, Pidgey. He looks between her, the mirror, the clothes on the floor...]

Are you serious?! The wedding's in like T minus five hours and you haven't gotten an outfit?!

[Have some Lance screeching.]

:3

[pidge_out]

[That just gets Pidge to make a face. Maybe this was a bad call. She figured Lance would take it upon himself to get her sorted out, but she'd clearly underestimated the amount of shrieking he'd do.]

Why would I have an outfit for this kind of thing just lying around?

[the_tailor]

That's why people go shopping beforehand!

[Why. Why must the gods make him suffer.]

Okay. Five hours. I need to get ready myself, and help Shiro get ready, and... Okay. Okay. We're going emergency dress shopping. Suit shopping. Whatever the heck you want. Put on your shoes and decide now.

[pidge_out]

[She's giving him such a look right now. He sounds like her mother. Well, beggars can't be choosers, right? So she just rolls her eyes and goes looking for her shoes so she can put them on.] I haven't worn a dress in ages, so- suit. [She nods once, like she's confirming this to herself as well.] I- I think I'd feel better in a suit.

[the_tailor]

[Well someone's gotta mom you, young lady!!!

He glances Pidge over, trying to formulate a rough idea in his head of how to make her up. There's not enough time for a proper makeover, but he has an idea or two of what to do with her hair...]

I'm thinking maybe black suit, green shirt? Green suits are hard to make look not tacky.

[pidge_out]

[Pidge kind of just... shrugs at his conclusion, getting to her feet now that her shoes are on and crossing the room to stand right in front of him.]

If it's easy enough to find, sure. I'm kinda gonna have to follow your lead on this.

[And it's only after she's actually said it that she realizes... what she's just said. Oh quiznak. Trusting Lance to lead.]

[padadin]

[The fact his whole team is looking like a proper human being is amazing, especially for certain pair of introverts. Shiro is proud of them for dressing up and coming anyway, he really is. He's also all smiles - he's in a really good mood! So he approaches Pidge and playfully nudges her side. (Oh hey Pidge is having water. Maybe he can look at Matt and Sam in the eye some day after all.)]

Don't think I don't see you snapping those pictures. [He says with a teasing tone.] Can I snap one too?

[pidge_out]

[She takes one more picture - this time of Shiro's beaming face as he approaches her - before lowering the device back to her lap. Pidge returns the smile easily, even as she looks down at the device to go back through the pictures she's already taken.]

You could, I guess. But I don't think you'll beat my photography skills.

[padadin]

So you have photography skills too? [Just teasing of course!] Come here.

[He puts an arm around her for a picture together. Snap! He checks it out and makes sure the photo looks good before going back to his teammate. Lance really did good with the hair, he's impressed.]

I'm not surprised to see you back here, I admit. Are you having fun?

[pidge_out]

[The light jab just makes her smirk, and there's absolutely no protest as he moves in for that selfie. Pidge grins up at the camera easily enough, and even leans in to look at it with Shiro before they both decide all is well.]

Yeah, it's- [She gestures lamely at their surroundings, still smiling.] It's a nice party. I never thought I'd end up at a wedding after we all got shot into space.

[padadin]

Don't forget the reality show part of it. I don't think the Garrison covered that in their program.

[Of course, the GG didn't cover piloting magical lions either, but details. Just accept the dumb joke, thank you. He playfully nudges her again.]

Does that mean you aren't going to dance?

[pidge_out]

[Pidge snorts, playfully rolling her eyes.] Yeah, they're going to need to make some modifications to their curriculum.

[Of course then Shiro has to go and ask that of her, and it makes her sort of fluster for a second.] What- Who, me? No no no, I haven't danced since I was young enough to just step on my dad's feet.

[padadin]

I'm surprised you didn't hack in some modification of your own back then.

[He can see it now: only peanut butter cookies for breakfast. The mental image of little Katie dancing on Commander Holt's feet is simply adorable, and Shiro can't stop smiling at it.]

You're still young enough to step on my own feet.

[tempredmental]

[At some point, Keith had hit his limit for social interaction and needed a break. It was bound to happen, after all. And there was only one other person he knew would understand. Finding her in the crowd was surprisingly easy considering her height, and he locked on, making a bee-line straight for her. He did at least have the decency to wait for her to be finished taking a picture before latching on her to arm and dragging her out of the room.

And, even in all that with his mildly distressed mental state, he also managed to do it gently and somewhat politely.]

[pidge_out]

[Feeling a hand grab onto her and pull her away from her spot is startling at first, but only until she realizes that it's Keith. And then she's almost instantaneously grateful; not just because it's one of her only friends, but Pidge can also only last so long before she needs to find a space where no one will bug her. ...Though it would also be better if she had any idea where they were headed.]

Dude, where are you going?

[tempredmental]

[Keith couldn't answer for a second, partially because he wasn't entirely sure, but he did finally say something once they were a little bit outside of the crowd.]

I need a break.

[He did, but, at the same time, he actually didn't want to be completely alone. Pidge had been the first person he could think of that would understand, which was why he had zeroed in on her.]

Just... you know. Somewhere quiet for a dobosh.

[pidge_out]

[That makes her smirk a little, but she nods as she goes along with him.] Okay. I could use a break, too.

[Though as far as a destination went...] Maybe somewhere outside might be nice?

[tempredmental]

[He glanced back over his shoulder as they walked and then nodded.]

Yeah. That sounds good.

[Perfect. In fact, the reception hall seemed to have a nice garden to disappear into. It was decorated like the rest of the hall, with little lights in the bushes and a gazebo for the photos. As the photos were over for now, Keith headed for the gazebo. It had a couple benches in it where they could sit.]

[pidge_out]

[It seems like Keith is already a lot less agitated now that they're away from the rest of the party, so Pidge decides it's safe to not go rushing to the gazebo. She trails just a few steps behind Keith, then takes the seat opposite of him.] Yeah, this is way better.

[She then takes her comm back out, scrolling through the pictures she's taken of everyone at the party.] ...You're friends with one of them, right? The bride or groom or- or whoever?

[tempredmental]

Well, Shiro's friends with Luna, and was in the ceremony, so I'm here because he invited me. And well, I also got the invitation from the dog. [He shrugged a little.] I wasn't going to go originally, but Shiro really wanted me to, and I figured it was because he was involved in the whole thing. So, I came.

Do you know either of them or are you here for Shiro, too?

{He gave her a wry smile at the idea that both of them might be here because of someone other than the couple.]

/DROPS ON IN HERE WITH NO REGARD FOR PERSONAL SPACE

[tough_love]

[Less because Pidge is lookin' snazzy and more because Looma's gone full giddy teenager, Pidge is gonna feel two hands closing around her arm real fast. Say goodbye to any relative sense of comfort because the Captain isn't about to take no for an answer.]

PIDGE GUNDERSON, join me! This is a joyous occasion and I will not have my crew missing it!

[While she certainly sounds...well, less angry than usual- quite the opposite at the moment- she's somehow no less forceful. Either in tone or action, since yes, she is dragging the poor girl off toward all the dancing. On the bright side? She's practically beaming at the moment.

Whether or not that's a sight that ends up haunting Pidge in her sleep, well, that all really depends.]

OH HI LOOMA HOW ARE YOU IS THIS NECESSARY

[pidge_out]

[Pidge doesn't even see her coming. Before she even knows what's happening, she's out on the dance floor with Looma holding onto her arm, and she's half-afraid to protest this because her captain could very easily snap her in half for refusing. But still...]

Oh- Oh no I'm okay. I'm good. We don't have to-- [She gestures lamely with her free hand, just before reaching up to adjust her glasses.] I'm not that good at it.
