Wedding Preparations
Who: Randolph Lyall and OPEN!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Yes, on the Planet and the SS Blameless/Iskaulit.
When: First two weeks of December
A. Suit Shopping
[So, as some people might remember, Lyall as a wedding to attend which just happens to be his own, so he needs a suit, so that means shopping.
He already has colors in mind, so he's going to be wandering the local shops - at night, because of the werewolf thing - to choose fabric and have the thing made, he's definitely not buying off the rack.
If you've never seen Lyall shopping before, you might be surprised. It might not be as obvious as with Biffy, because he wears mostly neutral colors and nothing too flashy, but he has a keen eye for fashion (the fashion of his time, of course), and you are likely to find him deep in conversation with a shop attendant regarding color associations, fabric, and cuts.
Come and give your opinion on his choices, you might even learn something.]
B. Accessories
[Once the suit is taken care of, there is a need for... well, all the rest. Cravat, cravat pin, gloves, a hat... so many things. Lyall will be hurrying between shops as he compares wares before choosing what he feels would suit him the best.]
C. Closed to the Blameless
[So here you have a werewolf coming back from the Planet with shopping bags. He's a bit tired from all the shopping to be honest. He enjoys it, but in small doses, and this is a lot to do at one time, especially for a special event. So he needs a break.]
Hello. I was just about to go make some tea. Would you care for some?
D. Bonus Headache (Blameless or Iskaulit)
[So a certain werewolf has been informed that as part fo the wedding ceremony, he is expecting to write vows.
He has never done that before.Honestly he had never even heard of that before, but people were adamant that this was necessary. So here he is with paper and pen and a cup of tea and pondering.
Randoph Lyall has written many a thing in his life. Detailed reports are a specialty of his. As a werewolf, poetry or anything of the like are rather out of reach, but he's read some.
Being asked to put into words what Biffy means to him, as putting it into words that will be said out loud in front of everyone... he's desperately drawing a blank here. Maybe it's because he's so old. More of a wolf than even he thought.
In frustration, he rubs his face, then throws the pen down on the table to go and make some more tea or order some more. Unlikely to help, unfortunately, but it will keep his mind occupied for a while.]

Unless you have some emotional attachment to it, of course.
no subject
Well, I don't go wearing my uniform around here. I have it, but I don't wear it often.
[ He paused. ]
It is emotional, for me anyways. It's... a piece of home. That, and my formal uniform.
no subject
[Feelings are a different matter. People get attached to all sorts of things, after all.]
You should still go shopping with Biffy more. He loves it, and you will get a lot of flattering outfits out of it.
no subject
I know you don't believe it, but I did like my outfits before. And I like my outfits now.
But I would go shopping with Biffy if it made him happy and we could spend more time together as friends. I would love to hang out with you more as well, Lyall.

Sometimes, Lyall, uneventful is exactly what a soul needs.
no subject
[Truly, he would love for his life to actually be uneventful sometimes. It certainly looks like it outwardly, even thought it is anything but.]
no subject
Good, because it is one. You're a steady sort, Lyall. I appreciate that about you, really. It's a rare quality.
