Re: [Nexus] Remnant II
[Comm Center]
Amil smiles at the screens, watching all the commotion out in the courtyard. This is going to be pretty neat! "I met Sunny the other day in the cafeteria and she mentioned the wedding. And I'll admit that watching this will be a more enjoyable time than watching a fire-fight."
But no doubt just as busy.
She slips her head-phones on over her ears and begins relaying messages for the security detail.
...
Hopefully they won't be needed.
Though what kind of nut-job would attack a wedding? Especially a wedding here.Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Re: [Nexus] Remnant II
[Entrance]
And another guest arrives! This one in a black coat, black shirt, black pants, black boots, and a black glove on his left hand.
He smiles at the guards and then quickly covers his mouth as he starts to cough for a bit. Once that's over he hands over his invitation with a smile that isn't fully reflected in his blue eyes. " I'm Andrew, I was invited. "

Re: [Nexus] Remnant II
Entrance
The Magbots arrive. They show up in groups of twenty or so, walking in double-file lines, to allow for Remnant's security to process the bots with greater ease. The automatons are largely unarmed, insomuch as they can be, of course. Those with weapons built into their chassis have had ammunition drained and/or deactivated, whereas those with chainsaw arms and such just had to have the things unscrewed before they could come.
While Magtok probably didn't have to effectively neuter each and every Magbot like this, he figured it was probably for the best that he did so. For once, this day isn't about him. Using the wedding invitations as an excuse to show off the martial prowess of MagCorp would just be obnoxious, and while he's not on thin ice with Remnant at the moment, he'd feel a lot safer if the metaphorical skating rink was just a few inches thicker.
It's not like he has to worry about security anyway. I mean, this is the Remnant base. He's seen what these forces are capable of, and can't think of a single force in the Nexus that could possibly outmatch their dedicated combination of skill, training, and technology. If someone stirs up trouble, the Magbots won't be needed to back up anyone; it'll be over before Mag can even give the order to open fire.
As for the Magbots themselves, they're just happy to have a day off from work for once in their lives, and ecstatic that Sunny cared enough to invite every single one of them. They get to show up to a real live wedding, full of real people doing people-ish wedding things!

Re: [Nexus] Remnant II
Gate
Jeremy is dressed in a sleek black tux, and parks nearby in the designated area. He gives Shawna a smile and squeezes her hand before getting out and grabbing the envelope with invitations and the packages for the gifts. "Ready?" He asks with a grin.
All those with invitations will be greeted with a smile by the guards, who are not wearing their helmets for the first time. "Please, enter and stay on the carpet. Your seat will be on the left side of the pavilion. Ushers will show you where to go. Leave your gifts on the table right inside the the gate."
When the MagBots show up, they'll each be given a little tracking anklet. It's just a simple white band that tightens around their ankle(or whatever passes as one). "We apologize for this, but there's a lot of you, and it'll be easier to keep track this way. The thing will loosen by the end of the day automatically. Enjoy the wedding." One of the female greeters says to them.
When Jake arrives, one of the guards gives him a slight smirk and offers him an envelope. "This is for you, from Commander Vasquez."
Inner Courtyard
Sue, dressed in his finest suit of armor, looks over the other Heavy-Specialists. They're still smaller than him, but they still stand a head above the average Remnant soldier. All their equipment has been polished to a high shine. There were twenty, not including himself, and he gives a smile and nod, passing out what appear to be ceremonial halberds. The scrollwork was excellent, and done in gold along their solid one-piece head and hafts. They'd be the ones forming the Honour Guard, and looked their best. "Good. Now, get in positions, and cloak. Timing is critical on this." He orders them before they take their position outside the Pavilion and fading out of sight. Sue on the other hand, heads on in, to make sure the technicians were prepared.
Bride's Room
"Thank you. And you look absolutely wonderful, Sunny." She says with a smile. "I haven't seen Carl yet, but Edijar says he's ready to begin whenever it's time."Last edited by UncleWolf; 2011-08-31 at 03:56 PM.

Re: [Nexus] Remnant II
Gate
Grace arrives, wearing a dress for once, of her usual favorite color, though it is edged with white- and it seems she's somehow colored her horns white as well, which is really quite striking given their normal appearance. In one hand she's holding her invitation, in the other, a small gift bag. She places the bag on the appropriate table, then quietly moves in to find a seat where she won't be too in the way, probably somewhere in the back where her horns won't distracted anyone.

Re: [Nexus] Remnant II
Bride's Room
Vasquez tries to squeeze Sunny's shoulder with a slight smile. "You'll do fine. Just remember, you're among all your friends here, and we're all cheering for you."
Pavilion
Jeremy sets the gift on the table, and eventually gives a low whistle at the pavilion when they get to it. "Swanky."
Gate
A Sharp Dressed Werewolf walks up, humming gently to himself and twirling a silver headed cane. When he gets to the guards, he smiles and passes over the invitation to one of the female guards, his business card attached.
"Wolf, available for bachelorette Parties?"
"Oh, sorry, wrong card. That's um, my brother." Wolfy says before offering a new card to her. "I'm Wolfy Dance instructor. But go ahead and keep the other card" With an odd look, he gets waved in, and he sets a small box on the gift table before heading into the Pavilion.
The woman tears up the first business card once he leaves.

Re: [Nexus] Remnant II

The Magbots go along with the anklet things, nodding politely before handing over a gift-wrapped toolbox or something, and making their way towards the bride's side of the pews.
Later, long after the Magbots have finished pouring in, Magtok himself arrives, wearing a surprisingly dull black suit, instead of his usual more exotic fare. He carries a subscription to the Bamhacon of the Month Club with him in one pocket, but little else. A gift for the groom, apparently. He doesn't know Carl too well, but hopefully this little present will be enough to smooth over any bumps his reputation might cause.

*wonders how big Teq is* I actually wasn't paying attention to Teq until I was asked to do the interview. All I know is he's another eldritch something rather. Of course, going off Bellan... >.>
Anyway. Gustav nods. "Let us begin. First of all, what prompted you to join Remnant?"
And now Mewtwo is pulling off mental tricks. Much like the previous interview, the pokemon is trying to skim Teq's surface thoughts. Primarily t pick up on the truthfulness of his words, but other details might be picked up.

Vasquez hesitates for a moment before giving both the girls tight hugs. "I'm so happy for you, Sunny." She says, giving her the second hug. "And I better get going and make sure it's all set up for you. I'll give a call when it's time."
Carl's Place
Carl looks up from the little box in his hands and sees the time. With a nervous smile, he turns to Edijar. "It's time to go on and get ready." With a nod in reply, the two head towards the pavilion.

Re: [Nexus] Remnant II
[Entrance]
Since he was invited, I would guess that the entrance has been made to accommodate Runner's larger size.
Runner actually made a tie-like object to wear for this occasion. Sure, it's not fabric, but it looks like one.
He also places a box among the gifts, and goes to his area.

Re: [Nexus] Remnant II
Bridal Room
Charity takes out a locket, with a picture of their mother in it. She'd had so many fights with her mother about Sunny, always trying to protect her little sister from her mother's over-controlling nature. Charity and Vasquez had worked hard together to make sure that Sunny and Carl would just step out into a fairytale, sparing them all of the crazyness of pulling together an event this big. If their mother was still alive, that would never have happened. Jacqueline Evans would have micromanaged every part of this ceremony and forced Sunny to be part of every decision. And she certainly would have had words about her daughter marrying a halfling. Many many words. She would have come around eventually, grudgingly, but oh gods, the fights there would have been.
But sometimes, a girl just wants her mother.
"I wish she was here," Sunny says.
"Yeah, me too." Charity responds. "Damn it, I'm not going to cry."
"Yes you are," Sunny says. And she hugs her sister, and they both cry. And laugh. And wait for the music to signal that it's time for them to step out.My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Re: [Nexus] Remnant II
Pavilion
There's a final flurry of activity as last-second touches are added, and the final arrivals are seated. Vasquez takes her stand at the alter, behind the simple marble podium. Carl himself can be seen moving quickly at the front of the Pavilion, getting into his spot at the right side. Edijar takes his spot on the outside of the place, and awaits Charity.
Geoff, in the front row, gets a nod from Vasquez, and he smiles. Gesturing to The Sirens, they grin back, and get into places before they begin playing music, signalling everyone to their place and for those present to quiet down.

Andrew quietly sits in the back, absently touching something under his shirt as he waits for the bride to arrive.
This was a really nice ceremony, hopefully he wouldn't have a fit of coughing right in the middle of it. Though maybe getting all the coughs out now would be a good idea. Or maybe not, the music just started playing and *cough cough* Well at least he's trying to keep it quiet by covering his mouth.

Re: [Nexus] Remnant II

Charity gives Sunny one last hug and whispers something in her ear, before going to take her place next to Edijar.
Sunny is nervous. Magbot's robot half will be able to feel it, as will the nearest Magbots in the audience. They'll also feel that she's excited, and in love, and sad for her mother, and feeling very happy to have so many friends.
The nervousness has nothing to do with being married. It's basically entirely stage fright. She slips her arm through Magtok's left arm, shaking a little, and smiles up at him.

Recruitment Office - Teq
*magically quotes earlier post*
"I heard you need soldiers. Experienced ones." Teq says. The man does not waste words. Always the shortest version. His shoulders sway while he gets comfortable, though his broad gaze remains on Rothschild.
Then psychic invasion! Teq most certainly does not appreciate this. One of the fastest ways to put him off. All Mewtwo will get is a wave of screeching static, unless he tries to push.
Vraal looks at the pokemon again. His mandibles twitch. Is that irritation? Satisfaction? Hard to tell. Probably nothing.
Pavilion
Ordo arrives just in time, surprisingly. Practically tossing his invite to the guards before he's allowed in. The psion is... looking worse for wear. One bulging mutated eye, three arms (one of which is a bloodsucker's), and a general change in the color of his skin. Nothing he could do about it, unfortunately. But at least his suit looks nice. It better, considering how much it cost.
The psion takes a seat in the back, just before the ceremony gets rolling. He seems... less dour than usual, and breaths a sigh of relief.My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

Re: [Nexus] Remnant II

Well, here it is. Time to give away the bride or whatever. Mag's absolutely thrilled and honored to be here. Honestly, he was almost certain it'd be someone else. Charity's boyfriend maybe, or DC. Hell, even Vasquez seemed a more likely candidate, so long as they could find a reversible gender-flip spell in time. Maybe they hadn't, maybe he was first runner-up because Vasquez had spell-resistant breasts and-
Aaaaaagh, no! Shut up, MagBrain! Don't let Sunny's stage-fright get in your head and get you thinking about Vasquez's boobs! And definitely don't let it get worse by letting her machine empathy detect nervousness in you, too! Just come up with a last-second pep talk, say something witty about how you face crowds all the time!
"Ahem, umm...Hey Sunny, have I ever told you how jealous I am of you? Because I am. Absolutely, positively green with envy. You've accomplished more than I ever could've expected from a MagTern, and then you went ahead and topped even that with everything you've done for these folks. You're the finest student I ever had, the best engineer these people will ever employ, and you'll make the best wife Carl could ever hope for. You've leaped hurdles and overcome challenges so terrifying I can't even imagine how you got through alive, but here you are today."
He smiles right back down at her.
"If it were anyone else up here feeling jittery, up to and including another me, I'd say 'Pfft. Just pretend you're Sunny Evans, the bravest girl I've ever met. She can do anything'. But you're not anyone else, so I guess I can't. So just be you, then. We're all proud and know you can do it, so take a deep breath, let it out, and be the best Sunny that you can be. Kay?"

Re: [Nexus] Remnant II

Charity and Edijar walk down the aisle together. Please Sunny, don't freeze, don't panic, you can do this. You can do this. **** why do they have the maid of honour walk down first? How am I supposed to see if she needs help? Stupid tradition, we should have scrapped it like we did the white dress thi... GAH! Lost in her mental diatribe, she steps on the hem of her long dress, and stumbles a little. Edijar helps her regain her balance, leaving her embarrassed, but relieved that she hadn't fallen. For the rest of the walk, her mantra changes to Heel, toe. Heel, toe. Heel, toe.
Sunny throws her arms around Magtok, hugging him tightly, and kissing him on his chrome cheek. "You did so much to help me. Thank you, Magtok."
The siren song changes, and the assembly rises.
She swallows hard, but as she and Magtok step into the aisle, she can feel the wave of happiness from the Magbots, which buoys her up.
Sunny fixes her eyes on her fiancé, and and remembers what Charity whispered to her. "Just look at Carl and walk towards him. He's waiting for you."My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Andrew rises and can't help but smile honestly for the first time. He was so happy for Sunny, was so happy that she had invited him and considered him a friend. Yet this wedding brought up so many bitter memories and yet also some happy memories. Andrew wished that this would be Sunny's happiest moment of her life.
The mage in black can't help but sniffle a little bit as his eyes start to water as he watches the bride walk down the aisle.

Re: [Nexus] Remnant II

That show of affection from Sunny wasn't entirely expected, but not altogether unpleasant, either. Any doubts in his mind as to whether or not he was the first choice for this honor are instantly crushed, and Mag smiles as they make their slow approach towards Carl. This part of the wedding was always called 'giving away the bride'. Mag just never understood that at all, always thought the phrase just sounded stupid and archaic, but now, even though he isn't even remotely related to her, it suddenly makes perfect sense. Memories of the day her internship ended and she officially transferred to the Remnant/Empire come flying back, and a small, selfish part of him wonders if this is really a good idea. I mean, you never really got to know Carl like she did, so how do we know he's as good a guy as she thinks? What if-
Shut up, of course he's good enough for her, stupid! Vas doesn't employ scum, Charity wouldn't go to this much trouble over a butt-head, and Sunny wouldn't marry a jerk, so don't even go there. The time to be overprotective and paranoid passed a long time ago. Just trust her to be as bright and talented in matters of the heart as she was with matters of cables and steel, alright? Oh, and don't forget to actually let go of her arm when she gets to the altar, Maggy!
