024 - Something Bloody, Something Blue - Video/Action

[worldofourown]

 

[ A wedding, even in the City, isn't odd news. ]

[ Unless it's a union between a dangerous ex-zombie and a psychotic vampire. That's right. Carla Morir  and Karl Fei-Ong. Tying the knot. ]

[ Barring that fact, though, the spread is surprisingly elegant. The Phantomhive garden has been decorated in eyecatching swathes of red-and-black. Beneath the dark canopies and glowing lanterns, a long black table arrayed with smoked-salmon bites, black caviar, truffle-stuffed birds, extravagant desserts and brightly-colored treats culminates in a monstrous wedding-cake. ]

[ Glasses of chilled champagne and red wine are ready. ( Along with pretty non-bottled drinks - straight from the fount - for those of the vampiric persuasion). Guests (curious, or coerced? ) have turned up in abundance. A string orchestra plays lively music amid chatter and tinkling cutlery. ]

[ The wedding ceremony has just ended. Toasts have been made. Pictures taken. The first dance danced. And, as with every big party, expect a splendid after-party. ]

[ Just ignore creepy rumors about an orgy and bloodbath at the wedding night. It can't possibly be true. ]

[ Can it? ]


[OOC: Obviously not a real wedding, guys. Both bride and groom are so very cursed. Post is open for video/text/action! Threadjacking, wedding crashing and shenanigans are so mightily encouraged. Just don't mess with the bride's gown. Or Karl will personally hunt you down and kill you. ]

And what of your beloved queen?

Private

[worldofourown]

She's technically also the mother-in-law.

[ Their arrangement will continue as always~ ]

You did receive invitations, didn't you, Mr. Valentine?

Re: Private

[valentineluke]

Diva strikes me as one to share on her terms. Not being the center of this glorious show of your attention, especially in her current condition, that could cut to the quick.

I must decline.

there's that bride...

[dignity_misery]

[ The cupcake dress would be a little difficult to move around in, so Carla has reconfigured after their hilarious little ceremony. She'd barely been able to keep a straight face, and now she has gone off to eat things. Truffle stuffed birds... mmm. She will somehow manage to eat with her fingers.]

Hello, wifey~

[worldofourown]

[ He's been smirking all through the last minute preparations and the ceremony himself. Funny how a curse can make him do something completely against Law and Nature. Yet have him act exactly as he is. ]

...Enjoying yourself so far?

oh my

[dignity_misery]

[She'd treat a marriage like a joke, no matter the circumstances. If someone were to propose to her in earnest she'd probably laugh them out of the room, in fact. At least there hadn't been a ring.]

I am. Although-- [She pauses, putting something in her mouth and chewing.] We could almost send them all home.

[And she would contentedly eat all of this.]

[indecent_butterfly]

[Someone was promised a kiss and is going to collect, but ne will wait until after done stuffing herself.]

What an...interesting event.

[dignity_misery]

He did all the planning.

[Carla wasn't much of a party organizer. She preferred to just attend.]

At the wedding~!

[beyourarmy]

[He's pretty sure it's a curse. That didn't stop him from agreeing to the be the best man, and it's not going to stop him from eating the food, munching on cherries, and cheesecake, and cookies. He's not going anywhere near the wedding cake, though.]

[He's also ignoring the rumors, for the time. He really doesn't want o have to arrest anyone.... Especially if it's Karl.]

HAI THAR BEST MAN x3

[worldofourown]

[ Sidling up to Setsuna in his black tuxedo. Glass of blood wine in hand. ]

...Ridiculous, isn't it?

[ Cursed or not, he knows it's not in his nature to get married. Or Carla's. ]

[dignity_misery]

[Guess who isn't blushing.

She will, however, push a bowl of white chocolate cherries into his hands, whether he wants them or not. That is pretty much Carla's only way besides filthy sexual contact to show a tolerance. She wouldn't yet go so far as affection.]

[indecent_butterfly]

[Ne should have known Setsuna would be here. Party, fun, nothing but a trouble magnet...]

Please do promise you aren't sticking around for the after party this time.

[bedsidemanners]

[well, weddings are one of those things he's never had an occasion to go to, after all, and while he's still a bit wary, he's enjoyed what he's seen.]

[he's also enjoyed what he's drank. he's not even tipsy yet, but he does seem noticeably more friendly, more chatty than usual as he taps someone on the shoulder. in this crowd, it's hard to distinguish.]

Can I have this dance?

action

[worldofourown]

[ Glancing over his shoulder. And smirking a little. ]

...And here I thought it'd be Carla getting that honor.

[ Just teasing. ]

...kill Katya

[indecent_butterfly]

[Is it really that hard? But he must have had one hell of a day dealing with Michael so...sure.]

Does One get to lead?

i am about to fall asleep but i feel bad for him rn

[dignity_misery]

[Carla doesn't drink at all, she's always said it was a poison, but it doesn't bother her overmuch if others take part. It's been too long since she's seen him in person anyway, and she comes over to toy with his hair.]

You came after all. Feeling sociable, or looking for bridesmaids?

[ Wait. I don't think this is helping him right now actually... Ooops. I meant well. ]

action; open

[ohcurses]

[A very cursed and slightly older Justin has taken Carla up on her invitation. He's passing the time in a corner with his cigarettes and a generous helping of caviar.

It doesn't matter that he hates most of the other guests or that there are people-drinks for the vampires or that being a live human might not be a great thing to be in this particular group. Nothing matters. This, at least, is interesting.]

action; open

[worldofourown]

[ Weaving his way through the crowd, he spots a semi-familar face. ]

Well, well~

Here to keep tabs on the party? Or just here for some fun?

[dignity_misery]

[There's little Justin. She sets her hand on his shoulder as she sits down next to him.]

I didn't know you smoked.

action

[toobad_sosad]

[Wandering around the wedding wondering what is going on here. Things are so pretty but she fails to understand this union. It seems to...not make sense at all.]

action

[worldofourown]

[ Seeing Marishka wandering about alone, he drifts over to her. Glass of blood at the ready. ]

Marishka~

Nothing amiss, I trust.

[ Most cursed!unions here don't make sense, sob. ]

[dignity_misery]

[She doesn't know most of the people at her own wedding, and that doesn't bother Carla very much. She has, however, tried to be at least somewhat polite to the few that Karl mentions. She's not the best at polite.]

Enjoying yourself?

action - placeholder

[haunting_aria]

[This one of those instances where this is random enough for Diva to figure it is another one of those curses that keep happening. So she's just going to go with it since everything will likely go back to normal soon anyway.

Though she must admit for a curse, the splendor is quite lovely. Thus she sits watching the festivities but not quite joining in. She's just a bit too tired for that right now.]

[dignity_misery]

[Carla doesn't mind coming to sit with Momma-san, there's only so much inane party chatter she can take anyway.]

You came.

[Carla isn't the best at 'thank you' either, but that's close enough.]

<3333

[worldofourown]

[ Cursed as he is, his blood and the untouched part of his mind that is Karl forever gravitates to his Queen. Sidling closer, he kneels beside the chair by Diva's knee. Offering her a glass of blood, gaze gentle and twinkly. ]

Is there anything I can bring you? [ A glance at the 'non-bottled' beverages. ] A warmer drink, perhaps?

[ Everytime he's by her side, all the surroundings fade. Each color and sound draining into her. There is - always - only Diva. ]
