[ 'Li' stands in his spartan kitchen. Surrounded by steaming pots and colorful heaps of groceries, he chops vegetables at uncanny speed. At the counter is an embarrassment of dishes. One would assume he's expecting company. ]

[ Nope. That's just how much the boy eats. ]


Prenups, hm? Practical.

Except a perfect contract doesn't guarantee perfect results.


[ Stew simmers in the big pot as he sautes the onions together with garlic and beef cubes, adding water-chestnuts and baby corn. He tips the contents of the saucepan into the pot, stirring it in with a wooden spoon. Noticing the Network device, he smiles benignly. ]

I hope everyone's having a good week. The previous curses revealed valuable information were really difficult for some people. [ He moves to mix sauces in a small bowl. Stops, as if remembering something. ] Oh -- and Korra? [ A blush spreads across his face. He stammers like a tall boy whose voice has cracked. ] You'll, um, have to tell me what Water Tribe dishes you like. Also, maybe we could sit down and discuss this ... document-thing the City's lawyers drew up? At least before we, um ... [ He blushes again. Returns to stirring the sauce with renewed vigor. ]

[ Such a bold and assertive Groom-to-Be. ]


[ OOC: Cursed. And probably dimly aware he's cursed? He knows he'd have no logical reason to marry except as a cover. The strikeouts in the prenup indicate his thoughts. ]

[The feed cuts in mid-sentence, and there's a scratching of a pen in the background. Just for your convenience, dear readers, please remember that red is Percy, and blue is Angela.]

- eally don’t need the owl!

What if I do?

How often do you get things by wizarding post?

Who said anything about the mail? I could use it at work.

For what, precisely?

Getting things off high shelves. It’d be safer than the stepladder.

You don’t use an owl to fetch things! That’s why people have dogs.

I bet he wouldn’t mind. [A whistle, like one calls for a dog. A moment of silence, followed by a fluttering of feathers and Angela’s laughter.] See?

...He only did that because he thinks you’re pretty.

You make that sound like a federal crime.

What’s a federal cri -

[There’s the sound of a few kisses.]

You know what else people use to get stuff off high shelves?

What’s that?

Tall guys.

Suddenly our marriage makes so much more sense.

Wait... you thought it had any sense to begin with?

[There’s a little more laughter and a few more kisses, and the feed ends.]

[ooc: responses will be coming from [personal profile] thenormalsquint and myself!]

How is this even an argument? You get almost everything you wanted!

Just sign the damn prenup, Stilinski!

[Or he will bite your throat out. With his teeth.

But you can't have Isaac in the divorce.]

[ Pepper's sitting at her desk, some legal-looking documents strewn in front of her. Eagle eyed viewers might catch a glimpse of a ring on her finger.]

As some of you may know, Tony Stark has returned to the City, albeit with no memories of having been here before. I ask that you all be patient with him as he settles in.

No changes will be taking place at City Solutions just yet. I will continue to be CEO until such a time as Mr. Stark decides whether he would like to take over, though to be honest I doubt that will happen any time soon. He and I have some business of our own to take care of.

Thank you.

[Scruffy Dr. House face. He looks to the left. Then he looks to the right. Scrolling through the network some. The mouse makes that nose. He smirks and then rubs his chin and mouth. The eyes are doing some squinting with what can be assumed as concentration....or he's trying not to laugh.]

None of you should be married. That's my professional opinion.

[Because that's exactly what anyone wanted to know out of him.]

In the mean time, there's ample literature for seasonal allergies and over the counter meds for cold and flu. Make use of them before you waste money and time.

Karl, we need to talk. RIGHT NOW.

Why is there a clause in the prenup saying I can't inquire about your business enterprises? What exactly are you doing that's so bad you don't want me to know about it?

What are you up to? I swear, Karl, this had better not be something illegal and stupid.

[Good going, Karl. You made Rapunzel mad.]

[ooc: ahh, prenup curse, I love you so.]

[Lena's holding some paperwork in her lap, with the camera set up to film her. And she's totally forgotten to lock this to the intended party.]

Everything here looks pretty good. I mean, it's really common sense: you get your stuff and I get mine. But, um, Pavel? I did have a couple questions.

Under the "unusual circumstances" clause, it says "In the event of a party transforming into an inanimate object, ownership of assets of both parties, communal and individual, shall revert to the unaffected party, and the unaffected party shall ensure the safety of the affected." Do people really turn into inanimate objects here, or is this like a worst-case scenario thing?

And uhh, [and now she squirms a little,] I didn't know you wanted children. Shouldn't we discuss that a little first?

So, City... It looks like we're getting married. [And Raymond seems about as enthused over it as he does anything else (which is to say not very much).]

Is there actually any kind of protocol for handling prenups in a place like this? It just seems a little impractical to plan ahead when you don't know what's going to happen from one day to the next, much less whether you're even going to be here by this time next week.

OI! SETSUNA!

SOMEONE EXPLAINED THIS SHITTY PAPER TA ME AND IT SAYS I CAN'T BLOW UP SHIT!

[No Mika. It only says you can't blow up the house.]

WELL I'M PUTTING IN SOMETHIN' THAT SAYS YA CAN'T DO ANY PERVY STUFF TA ME EVER! LET'S SEE HOW YA LIKE THAT WHEN WE'RE MARRIED!

[ There's a small list of agreements written neatly and legibly:

Neither Tyr nor Rita will take their bets seriously. Both parties reserve the right to be sore los call off the bet at any time.

Rita will only feed Tyr meat when he is a dog any carnivorous animal.

Tyr will not steal Rita's underwear while cursed. He will replace any that he takes!!

Rita will bathe at least three times a week.

Tyr will make sweets at least three times a week.

Rita will

And the pencil is just laying there when Tyr finally talks: ]


--Forget it! We'll never get this sent off at this rate.

[Rita's voice grumbles in response as she slams a hand against the page.]

Of course we won't if you keep making up dumb stuff like this--you're just scared you'll lose another bet, aren't you?!

[And now she jostles the device, which she had turned on.]

I bet everyone else in the City agrees with me!

[ And that just makes Tyr's face go red as he shoots back: ]

And making candy isn't pointless?! Go ahead and ask if you're actually that sure--And make a bet out of it!

Sh-shut up! --Fine, just get ready to lose!


[Well, City, what do you think? >:|b]

Wasn't the marrying sort before. The tiny chance of ever changing my mind on that matter has been completely obliterated today. Even the thought of having a significant other seems highly unlikely now.

Better to stay forever single and do whatever I please with my assets.

Hey Andy-Baby. I'm at the dress shop and I know you're not allowed to see the dress but you are going to flip.

Also we're supposed to be doing this pre-nup thing this afternoon. As far as I can tell it's pretty much that if you're ever mean to me I get to keep all your stuff. Sound fair to you? I'm so down with it. Meet you at the lawyer placey thing at four?

See you tonight! Kisses!

I understand this kind of thing is about compromise. But part of compromising is recognizing that some things are too important to fight over.

What I'm saying is-- I won't reconsider on the frozen sperm issue.

"Whereas both parties have been represented by independent counsel of their own choosing..." "The parties agree that neither shall contest the validity or provisions of any will, account, trust agreement, or..." "In the event of separation or divorce..." Wait, really?

[Jack makes an exasperated noise.] Turlough, is this really necessary? Why do we have to sign a contract just to get married?

[The camera flicks on just in time to catch Solomon's bare feet sliding out from under the bedsheets to land lightly onto the floor of a dimly lit room. The chevalier rises, heedless of his actions being recorded, clad only in a pair of pajama pants hanging loosely from his hips.

He hesitates only a moment as his brow furrows, struggling to come to some decision. Just for a moment before his green eyes lift to refocus on the window and he allows himself to move. By his expression, it's clear there's something very distracting outside. Such as a playful bride dancing and laughing outside on the grounds below.]


[ooc: It lives. (Solomon shows some signs of life, starting to come out of his deep seated depression at Saya's departure.) Open to action for anyone living at the mansion, or thru the network device for anyone else. *I'm still sick so replies may be slow.*]
