[Nexus] Serious Plots 3 - Too srs for my shirt

[Zefir]

High Temple

Mia is impressed she will take a seat where allowed and observe the whole hall.

"Impressive. such a konstruction offers enougth room for viewers of a wedding or such without rating them." she tries to be silent since such places tend to make an echo.

[Morty]

[High Temple]

Wenomir will take a seat wherever he's led and/or pointed, probably next to KR. He can't help but feel a little out of place, but that probably applies to all guests from WATCHTOWER. He also realizes he hasn't actually attended a religious ceremony in many years.

[Murkus]

High Temple

"Impressive's a good word." Adir says. Unlike Mia, he's making no special effort to be quiet. The stag takes a seat next to Wenomir and KR, waiting impatiently. The stag flashes them a joking grin. "It's good to see the wedding's actually happening."

[Shadowcaller]

[Dressing Room]

Cessie gives Sakura a faint smile but still seem nervous. She glances at Hope who can tell she's a bit bleak (well, bleaker). "Do you think Aegnor would have wanted this Hope?" She asks quietly.

High Temple

They are allowed to take a seat as the priestesses appear to be arranging the the aisle for the wedding. You can hear a few tunes of he pipe organ being played. There is a certain nervousness among some of the other guests.

Otherwise everything seem to go as planned for now.

[Devixer]

[High Temple]

Boris takes a seat and looks at the sights. He tries to ignore the organ being played, thiugh people might notice that his right hand is twitching a little.

[Dressing Room]

Cessie gives Sakura a faint smile but still seem nervous. She glances at Hope who can tell she's a bit bleak (well, bleaker). "Do you think Aegnor would have wanted this Hope?" She asks quietly.

Hope takes Cessie's hand and squeezes it. "Would you have wanted it for him?"

[Mindfreak]

High Temple
Kathrine stays sitting silently. She waits till the wedding starts.
She doesn't notice Boris' hand twitching.

[Gullara]

[Dressing Room]

Salura stays silent for the moment. It's not a question she can answer. She just keeps her comforting arm around Cessie.

[Morty]

[High Temple]

Yes, quite, Wenomir says in response to Adir. And noone is being arrested. Let's enjoy it while it lasts.

[Ashen Lilies]

[Higher than a Low Temple]

"It's probably not going to last long." Says KR calmly, glancing at Ilpholin and... what the hell is that ridiculous armor and helmet Katherine is wearing? She looks away, and catches sight of Boris' hand twitching. She watches him curiously.

[Devixer]

[High Temple]

Boris catches KR's eye, and tries to stop his hand from twitching. It doesn't work all that well, unfortunately.

[Shadowcaller]

[Dressing Room]

As Hope squeezes the mage hand she can feel Cessie shudder noticeably as her whole body seem to tense up.
There is a slow nod though, "...yes, I would have wanted him to be happy even if I couldn't have given him that happiness." Her eyes tears slightly but she doesn't break down crying, not at a day like this. "He would feel the same way... thanks Hope." A smile breaks through her solemn expression.

[High Temple]

It looks like pretty much everything is ready for the wedding. Everyone is just waiting for the bride and the groom.

[Halae]

[High Temple]

And then the Groom arrives. Harnel walks down the aisle with Tomwise. Tomwise is wearing his best robes; A black cloth that seems to absorb light, which it paradoxically shines out through the sunburst patterns on his shoulders, the sides of his legs, and his back. He walks with the bearing of a man who believes he is happy in the world.

Harnel, on the other hand, seems far different from how he normally is. He walks forward with purpose and dignity, confidence, and an air of authority unknown by his usual self. His hair is combed back behind his horns, instead of the bedraggled style he usually leaves it in, and adorning his wings are clasps of gold, meant to shine in the light. He wears rings meant for similar decoration around his tail.

His outfit is similar to this, with a few key differences. He doesn't have a cloak, as that would have just flat out looked bad alongside his wings. He also isn't carrying a weapon; they have no place at a wedding, and with his claws he was never unarmed anyways. Finally, his outfit is not blue. Anywhere showing there that is blue is actually in fact black. his was just the closest image I could find to what I imagined.

If anybody had any doubts about Harnel's claim to nobility, how he looks now should lay those to rest very quickly. Today, he is every inch a noble, in every sense of the word.

Dressing Room

Hope gives Cessie a kiss on the cheek, and probably along with Sakura, helps her into her dress. I imagine the fey and the barbarian will need a bit of guidance from someone who actually understands dresses, but lucky for them, Cessie's right there.

Hope makes a prayer to Kuori and lays her hands on Cessie, giving her a blessing which infuses spiritual energy into her that she can draw on if she needs it. "You look beautiful. More than beautiful."

And after exchanging a few more words with her friend, gives her one last hug and kiss and slips out to join her family in the temple.

[Mindfreak]

High Temple
Kathrine is a bit amazed!
But then she controls her amazement and gets ready to watch the wedding.

[Gullara]

[Dressing Room]

After Hope leaves, Sakura steps in front of Cessie and tries to take both her hands. "She's right. You do look beautiful." She grins at her friend. "Just remember that Harnel's waiting for you out there. It's gonna be perfect."

[Reinholdt]

High Temple

Ilpholin pounces on Eliwood and curtains him.
Ilpholin likes Hector better anyways.

She does sit calmly and watch, not glancing around hardly at all.

[Zefir]

High Temple

Mia won't make much reactions. Watching and Listening that s all.

[Shadowcaller]

[Dressing Room]

Cessie takes a deep breath as Hope leaves, feeling much stronger then before. Aegnor was still in the back of her head but as Sakura said, Harnel was waiting, the future was waiting. She needed to move on, or at least attempt to.

SHe returns Sakuras smile and gives her friend a long hug. "Thank you Sakura, I wouldn't have been here today without you. I would never have even meet yet alone accepted my feelings for Harnel if it weren't for you."

[High Temple]

Only a few moments more people, the bride have a emotional moment here.

[Gullara]

[Dressing Room]

Sakura returns the hug. "You're welcome. I'm just glad to see you're so happy together."

[Shadowcaller]

[Dressing Room== Aisle]

As they are hugging Isolde sneaks into the room. "Cessie!" She hisses, "Everyone is waiting, get your butt out here."

The mage let's go of Sakura, giving her a quick awkward smile. "So... I guess it's time then." She takes a deep breath and slowly walks out from the room and out down the aisle as the organ starts playing.

The mage is dressed much more conservatively then Harnel, there is no jewelry or complex patterns adorning her dress. It's just a long pure white dress hold up at the waist by an blue band with long sleeves and neck.

Her raven black hair is decorated by white ribbons however.

The mage looks rather nervous, her expression locked into a stiff smile as she slowly is approaching the altar with determined steps.

[Gullara]

[Aisle]

Sakura accompanies Cessie down the aisle, paling in comparison to the beautiful bride as she should. Once they reach the altar the dryad gives Cessie's arm a little squeeze and takes her place next to Adir. The stag will soon find Sakura's arm around him.

[Mindfreak]

High Temple
Kathrine was watching attentively. She liked Cessie's dress!

[Halae]

[High Temple]

Harnel stands at the altar, waiting for Cessie. When she arrives, though, he smiles. She looks so beautiful; the simplicity of the outfit is wonderful. Part of him can't really believe this is actually happening to him still, but at the moment, he's ignoring it. Ephemeral as this moment may be, it's perfect.

[Murkus]

High Temple

Adir watches with a broad smile, clearly happy that this thing can finally happen on schedule. He appears to be observing every detail. The stag barely knows how these ceremonies go at all, and that's mostly from watching too much TV.

When Sakura makes her way back, the stag slides his own arm around her shoulders, leaning down to whisper, "So how's Cessie doing?"

[Gullara]

[High Temple]

Sakura barely glances away from the proceedings to reply to Adir. "Good. Nervous, but good." She whispers back before returning her full attention to the wedding.

[Shadowcaller]

[High Temple]

In the company of their respective families and friends Cessie slowly closes the distance between the two and steps up to the altar in the middle of the room, the organ music suddenly fading out as they stand next to each other.

The sorceress smiles vividly as the priestess start to read from a book, the words echoing through the church.

"Underneath the heavens two souls have come to join together in a bond of happiness and joy so they may never walk alone under the heavens again. Through mirth and sorrow you will walk until you are under the heavens no more but yet your love will endure." She looks at Harnel.

"Do you accept this bond Harnel Caleb Therishein? Do you promise to love wife unconditionally until you no longer will walk underneath the heavens?" He's supposed to place the ring Cessie gave him on the altar now.

[Halae]

[High Temple]

"I do." he says, placing the ring on the altar. This is an almost magical moment, and there's little he can do but smile and look lovingly towards Cessie

of course, his player no longer has the picture of the ring Cessie gave him. you may assume, of course, that it is the same ring, but after three changes in computer, the image was lost.

[Shadowcaller]

[High Temple]

Cessie can't do much else then to smile either, Harnel can probably tell she's pretty nervous though.

"And the ring of the bride." The priestess continues with a nod.

[Halae]

[Hight Temple]

Unbelievably, Harnel isn't nervous in the least. He's a pillar of stability. Loving, happy stability. He hopes that Cessie can lean on that for support. It's a bad show when the bride breaks down at her wedding

He draws a wooden box out of his pocket and opens it to reveal a excellently crafted ring, which he then places on the altar
