Semi-Open Mingle ~ Wedding time

πŸ§™ WHO: Jean, Mikasa & guests & an appearance from King Arthur (and Merlin)
βš”οΈοΈ WHAT: Jean and Mikasa get married
πŸ•’ WHEN: Saturday, July 30th
πŸ—ΊοΈ WHERE: Camelot + Atys (Lord Zidane's castle)
⚠️ WARNINGS: none I can think of

Before the wedding

King Arthur is around to meet with people at the wedding and talk with anyone who would want to do that. (OOC: However, to thread with Arthur you have to reply to someone else inside the log before that. This is to ensure Arthur doesn't take the spotlight out of the wedding.). Merlin is also around but won't have a thread to interact with (but you can assume he said hi).



The ceremony

A sacred circle has been made. Jean and Mikasa gathered the needed materials for the circle a week before the ceremony. There are items that represent all of the different magic types in a symbolic way. One of the items was gifted by a family member, one by a close friend. All of them are mostly simple items that somehow represent the different magics, like a herbal leaves for Healing magic or a potion for Alchemy.

King Arthur begins the ceremony by blessing the circle and anyone who is close to either Jean or Mikasa will be invited to gather around the circle. Jean, Mikasa and Arthur take their positions in the circle and the guests around the circle are asked to hold each others' hands.

Arthur then ties both of Jean and Mikasa's wrists together with a red ribbon dyed with ground crystals and quickly prick them with the tip of a spindle through the ribbon. The blood on the ribbon is said to tie their souls together, so that even if they are separated, they will always be able to find one another again even across the universes, life, and death. Guests at this point start to sing an acapella version of the couple's chosen wedding song, which is A Thousand Years (which was given to everyone with the wedding invitation when they were sent, even if not everyone invited was around the circle necessarily).

During the song, Arthur performs a wedding-specific spell that calls the ribbon off of their wrists and folds it into a rose, which is then alchemized so the crystals solidify and create the couple's wedding rose. Jean and Mikasa exchange rings at this point (given to them by Mukuro, who is Jean's bestman) and kiss, and with that the ceremony is complete.


Wedding Reception/Afterparty

After the wedding ceremony is concluded, Merlin does some magic and sends Arthur home and the wedding guests to the wedding reception. He doesn't do something like often because the ritual of transfer takes a lot out of him, but weddings are special occasions and full of love energy (Love is the strongest force of all, that's one thing he agrees with Morganna. Merlin will also be at the party in a disguise.

The party is more open to anyone who knows Jean or Mikasa or knows someone who knows either of them. It's held at Lord Zidane's Castle in his lands, Atys, near the Ruins of Celliwig.

There are beautiful flowers around the party from Moondrop. Various kinds of dishes are on buffet tables and, of course, desserts and the Cherry Blossom-themed wedding cake are both on their own table.

Both Jean and Mikasa's dogs (Snow & Hazel) are at the party with cute pink ribbons tied to the collars and they accept all sorts of attention as well. Their cat (Sakura is lounging in a special pet corner with a cat tree and other entertainment for any animals (pets or familiars) to use. There are also cakes and other types of food meant for animal companions so they don't get left out of celebrations.

The rose that came with the ceremony is on its own table and anyone who touches it will be able to physically feel a sensation of love Jean and Mikasa have for one another.

[ Arthur is the same. He cannot rest idly while things go awry, and there is somehow constantly things going awry... ]

It is nearly two years on this island, perhaps you are right that we do not have more. [ he gives him a smile, then more jovially: ] Is there anyone you have intent to woo, Sir Hijikata?
corpsewarblade: (Relieved smile)

[personal profile] corpsewarblade 2022-08-07 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[She didn't judge him at all for finding this situation so dream-like. Perhaps hope and happiness always felt that way? Strange and light.]

I was worried I was going to drop the rings but...everything went well, didn't it?

[A small smile at his compliment- she was very glad she did her job well!]
corpsewarblade: (Quietly dying of embarrassment)

[personal profile] corpsewarblade 2022-08-07 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
...!

[There was a brief flash of alarm in Mukuro's expression- perhaps a reaction to her real name being used??

But then, she's glancing at the beautiful buffet?]


...You really brought mayonnaise, huh...

[She shouldn't be surprised anymore, should she? Mukuro dreaded to think how much of it he'd been loading onto the poor food.]

But- um- yes. I'm serving as his squire now.
corpsewarblade: (Uncertain target)

[personal profile] corpsewarblade 2022-08-07 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[With his assurance, she relaxed her stance, giving a practiced nod at the introduction before she could even think about it. It only occurred to her afterwards that she was only going to make the tangled web of lies she was maintaining about her identity even more complicated.]

Y-yes, that's right. Um, it's an honour to meet you in person. Thank you for coming to officiate.

[She knew it must mean a lot to Jean to have him here.]
mayoninofukucho: (Tea Time)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2022-08-08 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
I see you're big on romance.

[He used to be like that... but he's not that old yet that he'd patronisingly go "Just wait, you'll yet change your mind"!]

Go ahead.

[Touching the rose, he means. He's curious if the sensation will make a difference to her opinion.]
mayoninofukucho: (LA - Smoking)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2022-08-08 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Me? Oh, no.

[There were a couple of people he kind of had latent feelings for (and that's without accounting for certain fellow Prismatica transplants), but they're gone now.]

I've got my hands full with this.

[He pats the swords at his side. He really has no time to feel lonely with his duties to the kingdom, the anti-calamity efforts, and the occasional downtime with the important people that still remain here - and before Arthur thinks that he's going it all alone he adds:]

I've got my squire just about ready for knighthood, too. But honestly, he could've done it without me. I must've landed the most gifted kid on the whole island.
mayoninofukucho: (It's always something.)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2022-08-08 09:35 am (UTC)(link)
It's fine. I always have some with me. You never know!

[While he's addressing the important mayonnaise matter his thoughts are racing around in his head. He didn't check the records, so he has no idea that Junko is the one registered, and Jean saying he'll take both of them as his squires raises so many question marks. Does he not know?! How will Mukuro explain that she and her sister never show up together?! Or is he just covering for her because he doesn't know that Hijikata knows?]

So you're taking both Junko and Mukuro under your wings... that's commendable.

[Should he say something?! Maybe give Mukuro some advance backup as to why she'll never be in the same area as Junko?]

It's a pity they don't work together well.

[There! This is... a vague-ass statement, but he can't very well badmouth Junko as an abusive jerk if she's going to be Jean's squire too, can he? He takes a sip from his drink that accidentally turns into a glass-emptying deep gulp.]

Ha hah! Yeah, I getcha. [Better hope for an Animal Crossing AU, guys.]

So? [Rei tilts his head at Hijikata, his grin curious.] Do you rejoin knight orders because it's what you know, or because it's what you believe in?
mayoninofukucho: (Smoke)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2022-08-11 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Even on the Animal crossing island he'd still find ways to be a cop.]

Both. It's what I know, and it pisses me off when people cause trouble for others.

[personal profile] groundzeroes 2022-08-11 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[hijikata is already a werewolf, he'll fit right in the the doggy police there.....]

Oh yeah? No wonder you're sick of me. [WA HA HA HA]
mayoninofukucho: (Yeah yeah.)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2022-08-11 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That seems to be the consensus!]

Oh? Is there anything you'd like to confess to me?

[He'll arrest you at this wedding reception, Rei! Don't think he'll pussy out!]

As far as I'm aware you've been using your tricks to help the good guys... or is there something I'm missing?

[He's blatantly playing bad cop here. Sure, can practically feel Rei's shadiness (it surrounds him like an aftershave scent or something), but he hasn't outright seen him violate the law or heard any complaints to that end. Granted, he's been lucky to not catch one of his little surprise egg e-hexes up until now, but the man seems to skillfully teeter along the grey area of lawfulness.]

[While Archer does know Mikasa, he was mostly dragged into the wedding by Rin. So here he was... casually just at the wedding reception. A wallflower.

Not that he expected to be talked to all of a sudden.]


Yeah... it wasn't like any wedding ceremony I've seen but it was a nice one.
unknowntodeath: (Danger senses tingling)

[personal profile] unknowntodeath 2022-08-13 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Did... did he really just put mayo into the wedding food. Archer stares at Hijikata's plate of food with a judgemental look. He may not be one of the wedding's cooks (he's just here because he was dragged here by his girlfriend, even if he knows the wife), but it's a crime against food like this.]
unknowntodeath: (Observant)

[personal profile] unknowntodeath 2022-08-13 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Archer had no plans to actually come to the wedding, despite knowing the bride, but he was dragged to it anyway because of one of his girlfriends'. He didn't really expect to see King Arthur there.

He stops to quickly bow at him.]


Good day, Your Highness...
mayoninofukucho: (Routine)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2022-08-13 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I did! It's good to see him in high spirits.

[Arthur sure has had his fair share of grief managing the various misfortunes that befell his kingdom over the last 1.5 years... but Hijikata still feels that he's been steering its fate responsibly while also putting a lot of trust in the outworlders, and trust is something he'll always repay.]

Say... do you have any idea what'll happen to him when this is all over? He was raised from the dead to avert this calamity, wasn't he?

[Asking Arthur himself would feel a bit invasive, even for him. But maybe the king wouldn't even be able to give him an answer.]
mayoninofukucho: (Are you serious?)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2022-08-13 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Why is this guy staring at him like he's got a plate full of maggots?! Hijikata kind of recognises him from AOL... Archer, wasn't it?

He simply shoots a nasty look back, then shoves a big forkful that contains about 50% mayonnaise into his mouth. If he has a problem he can make the first move!!]
groundzeroes: (β™š 013)

oho!!!

[personal profile] groundzeroes 2022-08-14 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, Jean-kun! Congratulations!

[HEARTY CLAP ON THE SHOULDER, no rei isnt answering the question,]

Real loverboy now, aren't ya?

[ Love of any kind is not something Emerald's ever actually experienced. The one time she thought she had, she was just being used. The closest thing to a friend didn't believe her and was taken away. The only person to put her first was killed helping her escape. More than anyone she wants someone to care for her, and more than anything it's uncomfortable for her to be expected to be around this kind of thing and enjoy it.

Thankfully, Jean's invitation to her said she didn't have to say. ]


Not a chance. I'm just here to drop this off for Jean.
mayoninofukucho: (Enjoy it while it lasts!)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2022-08-15 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Hijikata was far luckier than her. As a child he was loved by his brother, who was like a father to him, and later on by his comrades... and while he denied himself romantic love on his homeworld, given his dedication to living by the sword, Prismatica allowed him to experience even that.]

Suit yourself.

[The present catches his eye as she indicates it.]

What'd you get them?

[What do people gift newlyweds? Since Jean asked him for a death magic artifact for the ceremonial circle he contributed the skull of an undead sheep he had to exorcise after a goblin's spirit possessed it and caused chaos in the meadow, but... that's probably not the standard.]
