(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.

[Well this… this is not new to him, but it's been a long time since he met someone with this kind of energy. He finds himself responding with a bemused smile.]

Well, alright. But only if we can take one where you're pretending to pinch my head off and maybe I'm trying to stab you with a butter knife. That would be hilarious. [He snickers a bit.] I'm Lance, nice to meet you. Your name's pretty on point.

[cuddlery]

Ooh, I love where your head's at. [She says with a delightful pinch at the air.] I'm in!

[And then Scorpia chuckles.]

Thanks! I- I get that a lot. ...Do you have anything going on with lances, by the way?

[azurestar]

So do I, make sure not to slip and put it somewhere else. [Eh? Eh? He gently nudges with his elbow.]

Huh. Y'know, I've never been asked that before, but actually a fair question. The answer's no, but maybe I should change that. You ever used a lance?

[cuddlery]

[She does laugh at his little joke.]

Good, now you're head-ing places!

[And she considers her question with a thoughtful nod.]

I see! You know, I was just wondering if we had a similar kinda name thing going on. Not using lances is perfectly valid! I've never really wielded one myself. I don't really weapon that much in general? I kinda, I'm kinda set with what I've got already. [She says sheepishly with a snip of her pincer and a wave of her tail.]

[azurestar]

Hell yeah, I am!

[As they reach the photo booth, he opens the curtain and gestures for her to enter first, because he is a gentleman.]

Oh, wait, so those aren't weapons, they're your actual hands? [There's a bit of wonderment in his voice as he looks at her claws again.] Or… claws? Like, they're attached to you?

[cuddlery]

[She smiles and mutters a quick word of gratitude as she shuffles into the booth. How nice of him! And she answers him with a chuckle and a snip of a pincer.]

Yep! It's all me. These bad girls are what I carry instead of hands! And this tail is my actual tail, too. Mind the stinger, by the way? I'm really starting to think I should start wearing a sign that says all this stuff. [Scorpia FAQ.]

[azurestar]

[He looks over at her tail and well, yes that would make sense. He also lived in the Arizona desert for a time and is very familiar with the dangers of scorpions, so he's just gonna… sliiiide a little over to the side of the booth farthest from it.]

Aha-ha, yeah, that might be a good idea… you can control the stinger, though right? So how much of a hazard is it really?

[cuddlery]

Not a deadly one! [She's quick to clarify, with a sheepish smile, while keeping her tail close to herself.]

I'm pretty much in the driver's seat with it. I've occasionally given an accidental sting when taken by surprise, b-but I've been trying to get better than that! What it mostly does is stun people or slow them down, depending on the dosage. The worst it can do is knock you out. Like, like a little nap really! Just, with a little prickling at the beginning.

[azurestar]

[The moment she says it's not deadly, he relaxes. Then he pats her claw as she finishes explaining it.]

So long as I don't gotta worry about dying a super embarrassing death. Besides, you're not the only one with a dangerous biology. [He rubs the back of his neck sheepishly.] When I get super stressed and upset I kinda… start going a little nuclear.

[To demonstrate, he raises a hand, pulls off his glove and gathers energy there under his skin and it glows a swirl of blue, gold and a little red. As he does, he seems to lose some tension in his posture.]

[cuddlery]

[Her eyes widen as she watches his hand glow.]

Oh, that- that's that really bad, super explosive stuff, right...? [She says with a nervous blink, with that being mostly something she's learned about secondhand through her time away from home.]

Well! Um, that's good to know! So both have our cards on the table. Our dangerous cards! I think that's a good, good starting place for this friendship, don't you? Iii think we're ready to snap some pictures!
