[ 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?

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

[ Their arrangement will continue as always~ ]

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

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.

Diva is always the first priority. And she doesn't mind the wedding. It's technically just a big party to get Carla officially settled into the family.

[ He's not unchanged, nature-wise. Just cursed. ]

A pity. There'll be cake~

[ 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.]

[ 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?

[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.]

[ Chiropterans are tied by blood. They don't subscribe to silly things like marriage certificates and wedding vows. The Queen always has full domain. As long as her Chevaliers protect her, they can dally as they please. ]

Want them gone so soon? [ Wryly teasing. ] I do have some fun planned once all the noise dies down.

[ How does mass carnage and a swimming-pool of blood sound? ]

[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.]

They can stay as long as they want.

[She'd leave them herself when she was fully bored with them.]

Always scheming.

[ 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. ]

One the real entertainment begins, expect the nice ones to clear out automatically.

[ Picking up a red cherry to munch on. ]

Who can blame me? Weddings are where all the plots and politics are had.

I've seen the 'bride's post, didn't spot anything said about actually caring for you. It appears to be all about having a good time and material gain.

Again, I must decline.

[She smiles lazily. She is, quite possibly, one of the least decent brides to every grace this city. The nice ones had better clear out quickly or become entertainment in their own right.]

My mother used to gossip her way through every wedding she attended.

[The stupid cow.]

Yep.... But almost sweet, in its own way.

[Frowns at him.] You're not gonna do anything bad, are you? At least to the unwilling? I don't want to have to arrest you on your wedding day. Ridiculous or not.

That's what most marriages are like.

[ It's a union between two absolutely foul people. What's there to expect? ]

Really? [ 8( ] If you insist. We'll send you a basket of party favors tomorrow morning.

Oh?

[ He tilts his head, curious. ]

She sounds insufferable. Glad she isn't here.

[ Karl. So tactful. ]

Arrest me? With handcuffs? While my blushing bride is watching?

[ Smiiiirk. ]

What ideas you entertain, Setsuna.

I always thought she was insufferable. I asked my father to throw her out for one of my birthdays.

[And then she had learned ~*birthday wishes*~ don't really come true.]

[Head in one hand. Karl, Y U DO THIS? D:]

Not kinky like you're thinking, asshole! I'm serious.

Tsk.

Let me guess. He said, 'no'?

[ That's a heartbreaking story ;; ]

[ Reaching out to straighten your collar. Learn how to wear a tux, Setsuna. ]

Since when do you arrest people anyway?

[ Doesn't know you've joined the Police Force. ]

[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.]

He laughed when she was offended.

[Her father was an odd character. She's more like him than she realizes.]

[Food giving is one of the things he associates with kindness, especially since coming here. He smiles a little.]

Thanks. Keep your groom out of trouble so I don't have to lock him, up, 'kay?

You're really pretty.... I can get it. Even though it's weird to think of him getting married.
