[GP] The De Rolo Wedding Reception
The calendar of "Kahl-ee-Fornea" was very different to that of Tal'Dorei. But the spring dance had been a good reminder for the Exandrians (one of them, anyway) that the Renewal Festival would take place more or less this time of year, landing always on the thirteenth day of Dulahei. It seemed a fitting time to set the 'small family dinner' in celebration of the marriage of Vex and Percy.
...Yeah, but no. Because Vax'ildan didn't mind a bit of revenge for their having done the thing without so much as telling him for several weeks, and because his sister always deserved the best of everything anyway, the garden had a whopping lot more than that for the happy couple as they opened the doors onto what first looked like pitch blackness. Until the big, white-hot spotlight snapped abruptly on to glare down on top of the pair with blinding scrutiny.
A familiar voice sang out from beyond, his ever-charming booming and crooning amplified to fill the whole of the outdoors by something called a 'microphone,' Scanlan using all his singular panache to belt out a melodic tune:
"There she is, Mrs. De Rolo
There she is, your ideal
The dreams of a million boys and girls who want to find love in Emon City
For Vex may turn out to more than Baroness of the first house of Whitestone and Grand Mistress of the Hunt
There he is, Mr. De Rolo
There he is, your ideal
With so much brooding and tinkering he took the town by storm
With his all-Whitestone face and form
And there they are
Walking on air, he is
Fairest of the fair, she is
There they are - Mr. and Mrs. De Rolooooooooooo~"
A resounding wave of applause, murmuring, cheers, and laughter broke out all around the newlyweds - one such unbridled merry cackle absolutely coming from the bride's brother - and Scanlan's tone changed immediately to a much more vibrant, excited, sporting-event-enthusiasm style of announcement: "Ladies and Gentlemen - it's the DE ROLO FAMILY!"
The strands of bulb lighting popped into yellow-soft brightness all at once, revealing the guests gathered around dozens of tables artfully set with dinner places enough for everyone at the Inn. Each table included flowers, linens, and garlands all matched in smart Whitestone-Blue, darker Owlbear-Blue, black and white with touches of gold accents, all thanks to Caroline's management. The outdoor area so far as one could see had been dressed in one of Lillith's illusions to mimic a beautiful forest clearing at purple-dusk with fireflies dancing, the shapes of buildings and foothills in the distance distinctly cast to look like the city and castle of Whitestone. Ignis and Emma stood by putting a few final touches on what they'd all started calling 'fancy barbecue,' an enormous buffet of haute cuisine smoked and grilled meats with artful sides, a table beside them holding up the massive layer cake Pike had tirelessly fussed into perfection. So many others had come together to help or to wish the de Rolos well - but there would be plenty of time over the evening for them to be thanked and recognized with food, drink, song - there was even an area marked out as a dance floor.
A freshly bathed Trinket in his very own bowtie lumbered up to Vex'ahlia to rumble and lick her face as the pair finally had a moment to react to the spectacle. At ground-level, a small disc-like device with a large serving spoon taped to it had been labeled with marker as Ensign Stubby, rolling its way between tables and chairs while balancing a large, many-times-stabbed basket of flower petals (with a handful left nestled in its giant spoon) on top of its flat surface like a drunken flower girl to finally bump into Vex and Percy's shoes. ...And possibly the best thing about their stunning surprise? That Peter boy had got the whole thing on VHS.

Re: Alec & Corbie
At least he could focus on her excitement. It was easier to do that than most else right now as he led her to a space where people were dancing. If anyone brought this up later, he might punch them, but for now he was okay with just making Corbie happy. And so he started to dance and after watching Vax and Stephanie for long enough, he had figured out the moves and could do many of them well.
Re: Alec & Corbie
Re: Alec & Corbie
There was little room for talking when you were spinning or tossing a woman around and so it was only when the song ended and Alec decided that counted as enough of a dance that he spoke again. Despite all that, he was only a little out of breath, but he had a smile on his face - Corbie's exuberance was enjoyable.
"You sure you've never done that before?" He joked.
Re: Alec & Corbie
Re: Alec & Corbie
"You're a natural then." He grinned playfully to her. "But mostly I'm glad you had fun."
Re: Alec & Corbie
Re: Alec & Corbie
"That I can definitely vouch for." He had to admit she knew her way around a man's body, and hero own. "If you ever want to translate some more, I'm always available." He wiggled his eyebrows playfully, but also suggestively.
Re: Alec & Corbie
Re: Alec & Corbie
"Mildmay?" It sounded like some sort of hot sauce.
Re: Alec & Corbie
Re: Alec & Corbie
Ugh, He. Alec smiled though. "That's nice." At least she just said 'friend'. "Where is he?" He looked around the room casually.
Re: Alec & Corbie
Re: Alec & Corbie
Alec found him and then decided he was at least better looking - and not a red head - but nodded outwardly. "Alright... well, have fun I guess." His smile was still there.
