(mostly open) oh this love would kill me

[entreats]

Who: Ange, Ruby, and you!
What: Ruby and Ange's wedding, and all their CR is invited!
When: Late October
Where: The rebuilt Clockhouse

Content Warnings: Semi-irresponsible weapon usage.




Sometime around the beginning of October invitations would have started to be sent out to the various people in Trench Ange and Ruby know - announcing the two girls' wedding at the end of the month.

When the day itself comes, people will find the location - the newly rebuilt Clockhouse, which some of the invitees may have helped rebuild in the first place - tastefully decorated. Some of the house's stranger features have been covered up by decorations in red and gold, mostly taking on the shapes of roses and butterflies all over the place.

Ruby | OTA

[onekindsoul]

[There are three wolves inside of Ruby during the reception all vying for control and dominance over her. There is the one wolf heavily influenced by the blood effects of the month. Which means Ruby can be found collapsed on the ground or just hanging off of just about anything doing her absolute best to stay awake. She'll give a little thumbs up to anyone who approaches.

The second is the one that thrives on chaos and energy. She is the one who insisted on having axe throwing at the wedding and she is all about hurling those things at the Mother Mercy shaped targets set up.]

YEAH! TAKE THAT!

[She looks to nearest person and points to an axe.]

Come on! It's tons of fun, I promise!

[And third is sort of the middle ground of the two. She's pleasantly happy and sort of taking a chance to mingle or dance where she can. She's got a goofy grin on her face and it looks like she's a little start struck or can't believe it's finally happened. Probably the easiest Ruby to approach in the evening.]

[cuddlery]

[Scorpia manages to get herself awake enough for some mingling. And she's happy to see that Ruby looks relatively awake too! She approaches her with a smile as she lets the excitement power her.]

Ruby! You- you're married!! Congratulations! [And she comes in for a powerful hug!]

[onekindsoul]

[Ruby makes a sound that sort of resembles a rubber duck when Scorpia squeezes her. But she laughs and returns it with one of her own. One day Scorpia's ribs will know her pain.]

I am- I can't believe it! If you had of asked me about marriage when I first showed up in the dream, I would have laughed you out of town.

But here we are.

[cuddlery]

[The ultimate goal of Ruby's training, to make Scorpia know the power of a too-strong hug... Maybe one day she'll reach that plateau.]

Some things you can just never see coming, I guess. And some of those things you don't see coming are just great and lovely and fantastic, like this. I'm glad for this. You and Ruby making each other happy, it sounds like an excellent deal to me. Hey, how about a dance?

[onekindsoul]

[One day. And when that day comes Scorpia wont know what hit her.]

For sure! I mean- I even got a brand new eye and it didn't help me see it. ...Or actually I got it around the time me and Ange did start to admit we had feelings for one another. So maybe it did help.

[She offers Scorpia a hand for her to take in claw-pincer?]

Certainly? I'd love nothing more.

[cuddlery]

[It will be like feeling pain for the first time!]

Oh, that. I guess the timing does sound romantic when you put it like that? A bit!

[She chuckles and gently takes her hand in her pincer.]

Great! I'm honored to dance with the newlywed. I'm just so excited to be at a wedding in general, let alone for two people I care about a whole lot! [There's an excited spring in her step as she starts dancing with her to the music!]

[payingfordeliverance]

[Hahahahaha what.]

...is this a Remnant tradition, or just you?

[Why even hang out with the Remnant people if you aren't going to relentlessly drag them at every opportunity about their gleeful tastes in weapons and violence? Still, he has a sneaking suspicion throwing axes at your wedding reception is probably just Ruby at her Rubiest. Break almost lost it completely when he and Ange emerged from the wings earlier and saw her doing push-ups at the altar and quite frankly it's probably the reason he didn't just quietly weep the whole way down.]

[onekindsoul]

This is a me thing. But I'm pretty sure like everyone in my family or on my island would absolutely love it.

[Because Patch was definitely Remnant Florida and the rest of the world probably knew it. Ruby was doing her absolute best to actually stay on her feet during this event, because she was not letting her blood sour event for everyone or anyone. Especially Ange.]

You should give it a try. It's a blast.

[payingfordeliverance]

[Break may be from Fantasy Englefrance and a spoiled rich dude, but he did grow up in a somewhat less structured position, where options for entertainment were mostly "hang out at the pub" and "fight people". He does not hesitate to take an axe, examining it thoroughly and pursing his lips as he tests out the heft.]

A weapon like this spins about when you hurl it, isn't that so? That's quite a bit of weight it has.

[...he is a spoiled rich dude from birth enough chores like that chopping firewood was never his job, and axes are just weapons.]

[onekindsoul]

[Ruby watches as he examines the weapon and gives a little not at his question.]

You're right. The combination of the two means it's packs a punch when it hits and if the blade connects it's going to sink in pretty hard.

Do you need any pointers on how to throw it or do you just want to take a whack at it?

[ Beatrice takes her chance to speak to Ruby again when the bride is mingling with her guests. She appears in a resplendent dress, a golden fan in one hand which she coquettishly fans herself with as she smiles at Ruby. ]

Welcome to the family, Mrs Rose-Ushiromiya. I wish you nothing but happiness, bearing such a name.

[ Though it has historically been a rather ill-fated one, all things considered. ]

[onekindsoul]

[Ruby has to admit that she's a little surprised that Beatrice decided to come and join in on the celebration. After the things Ange has told her about the witches from her world. But- Maybe it was a good sign that they could come together like this.]

Thank you. I hope- I hope this is a chance for us all to bury the hatchet and find a way to be a big relatively happy family.

[manyone]

I have no objections to such an arrangement myself!

[ Kihihi. She laughs and fans herself, almost as if she's putting on airs. ]

I adore Battler, he adores Ange. So I will care for her as well, in my own way.

[onekindsoul]

Good- The last thing we need is a weird family feud bringing the mood down.

[If only she knew what Ozpin was going to get up to later on. Either way she seems amused and pleased enough with Beatrice's reaction. But there is a blink as something catches her off guard.]

...Oh? Are you and Battler like a thing? Together? Am I the last one to find out about this? Ange hadn't mentioned anything.

[hauntedsavior]

[anna plucks an axe from the pile and eyes up the target like she's running calculations in her head. she lifts it up in one hand and sends it flying forward in a spinning arc, and the blade hits just north of the bullseye.]

Ah, dammit. I can do better. I guess this booze is starting to hit. [but she's not picking up another. she grabs rubes and squeezes her tight, like it's a normal human thing to do. (she's getting better at that level of physical affection, and after her speech, it's probably the leash she can do.)] Congratulations, Ruby. You deserve a wedding like this.

[onekindsoul]

[Ruby gives a little grin.]

You just really have to squint and focus on how big of a jerk Mother Mercy is, then you'll get it every time.

[She's sort of exaggerating but then she feels herself pulled into the hug and while she gives a little squeak like a rubber ducky, she's quick to return the gesture.]

Thank you- It's been. A long time coming and honestly, it was thanks to your suggestion that I decided to ask her in the first place.

[hauntedsavior]

Can't believe it was just one stupid joke months ago that brought you here.

[she really doesn't want to take any sort of credit for anything that ruby has ended up doing with her life. she's just happy that rubes is here, and implying that the only thing that's made ruby want to marry ange is hopefully absurd enough to read as a joke.]

But I think I'm done throwing metaphorical axes at metaphorical gods. I just wanted to chuck that thing so I looked cool. Where'd you even get this many axes? Did you make them? [she asks something else with just a little dread.] Do they have guns in them?

[onekindsoul]

Turns out it was good bit, I had to follow through. You weren't the only one pulling it too. We just had to wait for the right moment.

[Mind you she was shit posting on the network when she proposed. So... The right moment was subjective.]

You did look super cool doing it. I'll give you that.

[There is a light little sigh.]

There's no guns in them. Ange made me promise that I wouldn't put guns in them for the wedding. But next time- Next time I make them they are totally going to have guns in them.

[foulhussy]

[ Kainé wasn't prepared for how emotional that ceremony made her. She should have know better; it's harder for her to disconnect herself from her emotions than it used to be.

From Ruby's work on her weapons, to Ange's sister-like relationship with Anna, the two of them are hardly strangers, but its still hard to shake the feeling that she's something like an outsider here, even surrounded by people she's known for months. It's a relief to find somewhere direct to put her feelings; into throwing axes at effigies of a being that she hates. She flashes a wicked grin and picks one up. ]

Hell yeah. Get fucked you eldritch shithead!

[ The axe spins through the air, hitting the target with a satisfying whump! She's a good shot, as it turns out. ]

Shit, I needed that.

[imaglyphwitch]

You doing Ok, Ruby?

[Luz happened to notice her friend doubled over a bit but managing to bring up a thumbs up. Luz had a very powerful feeling that this was precisely something she would have done if they had been in the same situation].

Going to take a guess that this is a Trench thing. Obviously you wouldn't want to be like this on such a special day.

[lightthedarkness]

[Usagi blinks as she watches the axe expertly lodge itself in Mother Mercy's head and then jumped when Ruby turned to look at her and insists she join in.]

Uuuuh... Ruru, I don't know... I mean, I'm a klutz at the BEST of times, asking me to throw a bladed object sounds like a recipe for someone to get hurt... that someone mainly being me.

[onekindsoul]

Okay. Yeah- I guess you've got a point there.

But you also have these moments where you turn into a total bad butt and show the whole world what you're really made of.

I was just thinking you might be able to channel that for this.

You know?

[lightthedarkness]

[She blushes deeply and rubs the back of her head in embarrassment.]

Trust me, I get it. Outside of one or two things, I uh... can't really channel that side when I'm just... like this, lil ol' me.

[She appreciates names aren't being named. But it doesn't change that outside of transformation, Usagi can only access her healing and under duress, shielding.]

Sorry for bringing down the mood. I can still give it a try, if you really want?

[onekindsoul]

Oh- Okay- I didn't know that actually.

[Ruby realized that Usagi liked a certain amount of discretion when it came to her alter ego, and she could respect that. She had known that a lot of the powers came from the transformation but she didn't really realize where differences between Usagi and Sailor Moon began and ended. It was interesting.

She raised her hands up a little in surrender and shook her head.]

No, no, no. Don't worry about that. You are not bringing down the mood at all- I just figured I'd try and get you to give it a shot.

There's always the photobooth if you'd rather do that instead. I'm not going to force you to do something if you don't want to or think it's going to be safe.

[azurestar]

[Lance is of course going to have to check out the axe throwing. It's so very Ruby, and he's thrown an axe before. A lot of axes. Yanno, when he got bored on his family's farm and was told to chop wood for something to do instead of browsing his social media.]

Well, if the bride insists!

[He grins and does a flourishing bow. Then he grabs and axe and throws it at one of the Mother Mercy targets, hitting it right between what might be her tits (who knows what she has under there).]

Bullseye! [Not really, he was aiming for her face, but it's been a while since he's thrown an axe, okay.]
