The Bachelor Party (( CLOSED to invited CR ))

The evening before the wedding, Jim and Victor gather up their closest friends, admittedly not many when they haven't been on the Fleet for that long. Bachelor parties would usually happen in separate, but that's difficult to do when they share so many friends, and so they decide to throw the party together. The setting is simple but cozy; they've picked out a small pub in town, and reserved a rustic little room in the basement. There's a large table with a few games, most notably a chessboard, and a sitting area with couches and chairs gathered around a coffee table, in front of a lit up fireplace. On a small bar by the corner there are a few drinks on offer, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, and on a table next to it there is a selection of snacks and various kinds of finger foods to make for a light but hopefully filling dinner. Courtesy of Kirk 1.0, there's also a music system and a microphone set up next to the sitting area, and you know what that means... karaoke! It's guaranteed to be more fun the drunker you get. Speaking of drunker, someone will definitely be tossing around the idea for strip chess, so hopefully you won't get too embarrassed if people start losing pieces of clothing. But hey, at least everyone's a winner. The party will go well into the night, and Jim and Victor likely won't leave until everyone else does. So feel free to stick around, play games, sing songs and get drunk... if you get really drunk, you can always make yourself comfortable on one of the couches and fall asleep there. (The patrons can just kick you out eventually, it's okay.)

You Are Cordially Invited... (( OPEN to everyone! ))

The preparations were rushed and the invitations sent out in a bit of a hurry, but it's not like there's ever a lot of time to prepare for a wedding, when one doesn't want to do it aboard one of the ships. But everything seems to be well put together, and there's a very rustic and homely feel from the moment you arrive. The ceremony proper happens at the lodge, a spot that has been set up with a few seats and a set of stairs leading up to a small canopy, all of it decorated with white fabric and an abundance of flowers. It's short and sweet, and after vows are exchanged and a few words from the one performing the ceremony (hopefully no one will find it too weird that it's the other Jim), they slip on their rings and share a kiss, delighted to let the celebrations continue onto the reception. With Jim and Victor taking the lead, the guests are walked across a bridge, lit with candle lanterns, strings of white flowers embellishing the wooden frame. The good portion of the reception is outside, and everything is decorated with lanterns, string lights hanging everywhere and resembling stars more and more as the sun starts to set, and (yes, you guessed it) more flowers. As a matter of fact, there are flowers a little all over the place. In jars hanging from trees, tied to the backs of chairs, bundled up in crates that are spread out all over the area. The food is set up on large tables, divided by starters, main dishes and desserts, the wedding cake having its own smaller but more prominent stand near the dessert table. There are no assigned seats, however. After all, everyone was invited and it's not like there are that many people on the Fleet, so just grab a plate, help yourself, and take a seat wherever! You might even find a few of the locals joining in on the party a little later, but both grooms seem more than happy to welcome them too. The party goes on a little into the night. Everyone is free to hang around for as long as they want, or leave early if you're scared of the dark... but don't worry, there are lights all over the place! There are also plenty of cozy little nooks and corners where guests can make themselves comfortable, and if you start to get a little chilly, feel free to borrow one of the many blankets on offer, or simply head into the indoors portion of the reception. It's small but there are a few seats and even a fireplace to keep the place warm. If you like sitting by a fire but would much rather stay outside, a small campfire will be lit up just before the sun starts to set, and a small table with plates of something that looks close to marshmallows, chocolate and biscuits set up nearby. Have a seat around the fire and build your own s'more, and toss in a campfire song or two if you're feeling inspired. And of course, can't have a wedding without a dance floor! Or two, as it so happens: one indoors, and another one outside, the latter far more enchanting, with endless string lights hanging high above a flat wooden platform. There's a fairly modern music system so you might recognize a lot of late 20th and early 21st music playing, but for those more musically inclined there are also plenty of local instruments you can pick up and try your luck at playing a song, or even sing. The party is very loose and carefree. Do what you want, come and go as you please, steal either of the grooms away for a dance, or find a pair among the other guests... whatever you want to do, and however long you want to stay, feel free to do as you please!

Of course. "Yes, I have seen Jim utilizing that mode of transportation. Hardly the most safe but he does seem to prefer it." Spock tilts his head, considering. "I believe they would find that race very enjoyable."

[jolting]

"That's the idea. This is a place I enjoy, so I'd like the next planet to be a place James would enjoy." And he really wanted to see the two Kirks race each other.

[logicabounds]

"You are a generous partner. I am gratified that you place such emphasis on your mutual contentment." He can't help but wonder how this relationship started. How Jim found this man who suits him so well.

"Would you return to Riverview? Given the opportunity?"

[jolting]

"Probably not. We did talk about going back to your time, and me enter Starfleet Academy." Victor glances around. "This is a pretty close second to that."

[logicabounds]

That's a large discovery. Spock's eyebrows go up and one remains there after he brings them back.

"You are interested in Starfleet? Would you join for the science track?"

[jolting]

"You explore new worlds and discover new civilizations," Victor responded with a shrug. "It sounds like the sort of thing I'd enjoy. And yeah, I'll probably end up as a science officer. Part science, part medicine. Being from two centuries in the past hasn't stopped me before."

Of course, he had the advantage of cursed memories before, but he was a quick learner.

[logicabounds]

Spock nods his head. "Your curiosity and your abilities as a trained doctor will serve you well in this potential goal. I believe you would be an exemplary officer as well as a credit to the scientific pursuits. It would be an honor to serve with you." Should they ever return home again. A big 'if' looming over their heads.

[jolting]

"Thanks. I'd be honored to serve with you, too." Assuming he would get assigned to the Enterprise. He knew James would pull every string he could to make it happen, but one never knew.

[logicabounds]

Spock smiles just slightly and gestures widely back at the party. "I will not keep you, Doctor. Congratulations, once more. I wish you both the best."

[jolting]

"Thank you. Enjoy the party." With that, he turned to chat with others who had arrived.
