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!

[Aw, man. Prompto loves technology. He loves using it, and taking it apart and figuring it out, and putting it back together. The more advanced the better. Some niggling part of him wonders if his love of machines is hardwired in his genetic code or something, but he tries very hard to ignore it.]

Space travel isn't even a thing where I'm from. I'm sure we could figure it if we weren't wasting all our resources on killing each other.

[Insomnia made some great stride in technology, but could only do so much within the confines of the wall. And though he was loath to admit it, Niflheim was seriously advanced. Too bad they used their genius for evil.

He gave her a grateful smile.]

'Preciate it. Guy can be a handful. He hasn't tried anything catastrophic yet, but... Ya' never know. His name is Ardyn - tall guy, red hair, weird clothes, dumb hat.

[ Good, she'll leave it to him. Too bad Quint isn't here, he could probably impart some very slick knowledge unto Prompto. She hates to admit it but she misses even him -- though she hadn't swung around to him yet back home after those three years. She'd gotten to the ones that matter most, arguably, but there's still this aching gap she tries to deny. ]

Take it war's pretty common? Not uncommon where I'm from, but a lot of it ties into my work. [ Especially if it's under-handed. Western, first world governments wouldn't use BOWs but it was lucrative for guerrilla forces or sketchy businesses. Cheaper than using people, too. ] Who knows? Maybe you'll go home and it'll settle down and you, too, can use your science to explore your local galaxy.

[ Like a sales pitch, almost. ]

The fact you've the idea that he might probably speaks a lot about the kinda guy he is. [ Holding back? Seems like it. But she can understand it. Even your greatest enemy, to be the "good guy," you don't just go and kill them because they're on your turf. There might be other things that factor into that, but that's probably between them. ] Think I saw a flash of someone like that. I'll have you know I take my hats pretty seriously, so anyone without taste in them isn't usually right in my book.

[ It's a wedding, so that's what she manages for now. Any other time she might've already said to let her know if he needs a toe kick to the face and an arm bar that fractures. ]

Yeah. War's been going on for as long as I remember. [Though for most of his life it was more an outside thing. He grew up safe inside a walled city. The war was somewhere else. Abstract. Background noise on the TV. What did Niflheim do this time?

He chuckles at the idea. His last memory of home is desperate and not at all hopeful. But maybe they find the crystal. Maybe they get rid of Ardyn. Maybe they reclaim Noct's kingdom and rebuild...] That would be awesome.

Thanks. He can be charming when he wants to be. [Prompto had been willing to give him a chance when they'd first met him. Boy did he regret that now.] But he hurts people.

Got a lot of wars where I'm from, I guess. One ends, another pops up. [ But he talks about it like it's singular. Either way is sad, but it must devastate whatever region its occurring in terribly if it's ongoing in such a way. She'd joined the army young, so she familiarized herself quickly with it first-hand. ] Here's to the best for both of us, in that case.

[ She had friends and family to get back to and a long overdue "you're not dead" party, whatever that may encompass so long as there was cake and hopefully champagne. She thinks she deserves champagne this time.

Maybe beer, too. ]

Psychopaths often can be, in my experience. [ She's quick to use the label both to reassure him she'll see through it and that she believes him. ] Guess it's always a little sad that they don't use that charm for something better, you know...?

That's gotta be tough. [He wasn't a soldier. He left home with a crash course in self-defense under his belt. But he's watched two cities fall, and his aim has gotten pretty damn good.] Yeah. Cheers.

[He smiles wryly. That she believes is a relief. He's heard Ardyn over the channels, and how others interact with him. And it's bothered him, that there are people here that are unaware of just who - what - they're talking to. Or worse - that they are aware and don't care.]

Yeah. Why is the ones with all the power turn out the most evil?

My world's pretty big. Most of the time it's hundreds of thousands of miles away.

[ She doesn't fight in wars like that, but the two typically go hand-in-hand, bioterrorism can be part of it and can fuel it and the average military force isn't prepared for dealing with it at all. People always play that "zombie apocalypse" game and think they'd survive, but most people? A very large portion? It doesn't matter how careful, smart, or resilient you are normally. ]

Entitlement, I guess. Learn at a young age that you have everything and you can't fill the void. Then again, there's plenty with power that aren't corrupt, right? We have a saying where I'm from: "absolute power corrupts absolutely," but it's obviously not always true. Just enough that a cliche has some fact behind it.

It used to be like that. I don't know about hundreds of thousands of miles, but far away. Somewhere else.

[The treaty was supposed to change that - by ending it. Ceasefires are supposed to cease fires - not make them bigger. But the treaty was lie and, speaking of the apocalypse, they were barreling headfirst into theirs, they just didn't know it yet.]

I guess that's true. [He searches for and finds Luna and Noctis again. They're both powerful, and not evil or corrupt.] I think we've got a saying like that too. Must be true everywhere, huh?

Usually is the case for where I'm from. Not usually on American soil, but we'll go to where the fights are and aid allies.

[ In the war against bioterrorism, though, there aren't borders and there aren't allies. They go where they're needed to combat it, though each region has their own team.

Jill's special, though. Few North American members scatter about the world, but she's up there in clearance level. ]

Assholes exist in every reality, it seems. Kind of disappointing, but it's always good to know it's not true overall, that not everyone is corrupted or uses their skills for the wrong reasons.
