[Forum Adventure] The Wedding

> Sponge: Give Thoren a bloodsplattered quartz scythe.
> Hazel: Give him one smithed out of Prospitium.



While their gifts are in the same rough shape, their qualities differ quite a bit.
Sponge's bloodsplattered quartz scythe was made of the very blades that had killed him. A bit morbid, but then again Thoren has a bit of a dark sense of humor anyways. Hazel's Scythe of Prospit is less obviously traumatic in concept, but by no means any less lacking in character. Both being prospit dreamers, the significance will likely be understood.

> Thoren: Snap out of it!



...this doesn't look good.

==>



Deep inside... Thoren is in fact there, just not behind the controls.
...what's this, a message?

> Thoren: answer message



Spurred by various communicating forces, Thoren makes his way back to The Center to check his messages.
Whew, it's not related to current events right outside. Instantly less stressful.

Thoren gets straight to work on beginning his search for a nonlethal cure to VE's soul gem corruption.
A quick google search hardly provides any answers. Honestly, he didn't think that way would produce all that many results anyways, especially with the issue at hand being rather difficult to come by in the first place.
No matter though, there's more places to search than just google.
Surely there's got to be some books on this sort of phenomenon, right?

Perhaps he could visit that library in another dimension and try to see if there's any answers there?
Then again, something tells him the gateway to the library may be more difficult to seek out than before.
Not to mention, he's still got a wedding to take part in today.

...it seems he will have to pull through this, even despite the enormous stress of all the various ways it could all go wrong...

> Procession: Begin



The audience shushes to a quiet whisper as music and flower petals herald the walk-down of the bride.

<==



There she is...

> FLord: GET THAT SCREEN WORKING


Come on, let's get a picture on this!



Oh hey, the it's working!
...wait a minute.



Uhhhhh.... you saw nothing.

> Screen: Start Actually working



Here we go!
It looks like Katyleen and a Certain Denizen are having a conversation. Apparently she recognized Prometheus from some point way back when involving a spaceship or something. While she's confused on why he didn't fuse with the other versions of Charles, Prometheus is mostly just slightly puzzled as to why combo-Charles isn't reacting much to his presence, though his dazed demeanor does explain a lot. He did kinda just recently get put back together before arriving. It takes a while to sort things out, let alone pay much attention to the outside world in such a state.

As FLord is watching this, he suddenly remembers that he forgot to send a gift. There's a minor freak-out, but he soon gets his cool back, realizing that he could totally just roll with it and ask what to send on the spot.
Crisis averted, phew.

> Fannie: Find someone interesting to talk to



Fannie has wound up running into Nil, who since he's last been seen, has been going through some... curious changes. Who would believe that one of the most bad-ass seths would wind up becoming one of the most mild mannered goody two-shoes of the entire massacre? He doubts that he's ever going to qualify to be transferred to the legendary Heaven dreambubble, but he figures that he should do what he can for the sake of penance, considering all the crazy-ass shit on his permanent record, on account of being a godslayer. He figures if anything, he'll get some protection from the more dangerous types that wander the streets of Necropolis in the eternal night.
Fannie doesn't get half of the crud he's talking about, but she's fascinated nevertheless, and is taking lots of notes, as always.

Meanwhile, her apparent girlfriend, Enrich, is busy trying to negotiate with another dead seth to get her own emergency booze flask back. Probably won't get it back until after the wedding.
...Probably.

> Theta: Notice something



While in this rather prolonged moment, Theta notices something appear in his tome, next to a pre-existing entry. Something concerning another seth that might be a pressing manner if not investigated. He can't just leave his post to take care of it right now though, he's got an important duty here! So instead, he makes a request on the message board while nobody's looking.

> Katie: answer the call



With her witch of time powers, Katie is able to quickly and quietly abscond away from Seth's slowed time field without detection.



From what she's read on the message board, the seth that needs rescuing is on floor 777, accessible from the elevator.

==>



Should be easy enough.

> Time: stand still forever



You know what? NO!
You DARE tell TIME ITSELF to stand still? How preposterous! Time is meant to MOVE! None of this TOUCHING MOMENT crud is going to keep such a force of nature from continuing!
Foolish heir, thinking he could hold a moment in his hands for so long...

Time resumes to flow at a far more regular pace than it's been going for the past few "months".


> Raine: Reply




Thoren...
I feel like it's been a forever since we first met. Before then, you were... Well, not like the way you are now. Looking back, I feel sort of... surprised with how much you've changed; you've grown leaps and bounds ever since then. It's a little weird for me to hear how much of that was because of me...
...But I've grown a lot too, haven't I? I used to think it was impossible for me to have any good friends, much less a partner to live the rest of my life with. I nearly lost hope at one point... And I thought it would have been for the best if I threw caution to the wind... and did what I did before then. During those days with you and the others, I realized just how scared I was back then. And you made me realize how precious my life is, and... if I could be a little silly here... You've set me ablaze with a newfound passion and appreciation for everything and everyone around me. Had I not met you, I wouldn't have seen beyond the freezing walls that I had set up in front of me.

Those times we've spent together were the best I've ever had, and I would be glad to spend the rest of my days with you, despite anything else that might be in our way. I'm sure everyday will be just as wonderful as this one...

And if not, well... We'll make it as close as it can be.
