Thirty-Five Bells: [Voice/Action]

[simplestgift]

[Archie is going to head into All Passions today, in desperate need of a dress uniform. When things are slow at work tonight, he'll speak a message.]

Is there anyone in the village who could perform a wedding? A priest or other official? I'm...getting married.

[He sounds a tad stunned about it, too. Even if it's been over a month since this was decided.]

[goldenglasses]

You're getting married!? Congradulations, man! And I just happen to know a priest!

...although I admit, he's not exactly a good one.

[simplestgift]

Thank you. And truth to tell, any priest in this forsaken place is a priest, good or bad.

[goldenglasses]

You've never met a priest this bad then.

[ voice ] fine fine let's see how many tags i can get in before i leave the country

[herotypical]

...Sorry. That's one thing that's actually not on the Slayer CV. But I'm pretty sure there are religious folk a-plenty in the rest of the village.

And hey, if not? You can always talk Hornblower into taking you out to international waters. Such as they are.

[ hi. she has feelings about your wedding but is (thankfully for all of us) too polite to show them. for once. ]

[ voice ] XD

[simplestgift]

What would international waters have to do with anything?

[Have Archie being oblivious to Buffy's feelings. Because. He assumes Liz has things under control.]

[herotypical]

Captains. They can perform marriages. On international waters. Can't they? Isn't that a thing? Has the TV lied to me all my life?

[she's stepping back behind the bar to get rag when she overhears this. That stunned tone makes her smile, and she sets aside her tray to come and lean on the bar beside him, leaning her shoulder into his arm]

I could pinch you, if you like.

[action]

[simplestgift]

No need! [He grins, leaning against her a little.] You're coming, aren't you?

[action]

[theoniongirl]

[she gives him a mock offended look] What kind of friend do you think I am?

[voice]

[thedicearecast]

Vash already brought up Wolfwood. Don't know about anyone else.

[voice]

[simplestgift]

[Still pretending something never happened.]

He's likely to be the choice, with a distinct lack of others.

Re: [voice]

[thedicearecast]

[That's what they agreed to.]

Yeah? He'll probably be happy to do it. Just don't let him hassle you; he likes to joke.

[fleurdesel]

[Because she needs the distraction- and good news is never a bad thing. She'd seen bits of the proposal while on the ship, overheard it after the fact, but a public announcement requires public acknowledgement.]

Congratulations Archie.

[simplestgift]

My most gracious thanks, Mademoiselle LeBlanc.

[fleurdesel]

While I'm not certain if he's performed such a ceremony, or if the word means the same in his world, I know of a pontiff in the village.

[voices] B^| my household...... 1/2

[notabluesbro]

Lord have mercy. They see the word priest and throw me in right off the bat.

... while possibly insulting my priest skills.

[Vash, I see you there. I see you there. You're tempting a hideous fate.]

[voices]

[notabluesbro]

But hey, I'm a giving and happy guy! I'd be more than glad to help you out, padre.

[voice]

[simplestgift]

Thank you. Of course, I haven't spoken with everyone. Perhaps we could meet?

[Voice]

[daisy023]

Sir... Lieutenant? That's great. Congratulations.

[People get married here as well... And it makes sense. She remembers Valvalis' question on marriage.]

[Voice]

[simplestgift]

Thank you. [You tall, magnificent freak.] Thank you most kindly, Daisy. As always, you are welcome on our crew. Miss Swann is captain of the marines.

[Voice]

[daisy023]

Thank you, sir. Next time your group sets sail, I'd love to join you. I'd just need the uniform, and I haven't met Miss Swan...

[And technically, she wouldn't be breaking any rules regarding treason. The English Navy of the 18th century is from a nation of Earth.]

[Action] omg I'm so sorry this is late

[so_shik]

[Well when Archie enters, he'll find one (1) redhead sitting in the middle of the shop surrounded by a circle of dress mannequins. Sir, you've come to the right place. She looks up open hearing Archie enter, smiling briefly and giving a cheerful little wave before pulling a few loose pins from her mouth.]

Hey there. Sorry it's kind of a mess in here, just...[She waves a hand vaguely to indicate he sidestep the various piles of stuff.] What're you looking for today?

[Action] It is okay!

[simplestgift]

[He tears his eyes away from the fashions on the mannequins and offers her a friendly, barely-shy smile. One hand is holding a small library book with a bookmark in it.]

I need a dress uniform for a wedding. [A beat, and his smile widens a tad.] For my wedding. I don't suppose you could...?

[A nervous gesture with the book, as if he's offering to show her.]

[echotaker]

A wedding? Awesome! I may not be a priest but I'm an expert at eating cake. I can carry a tune, too, if you need a singer!

[video]

[simplestgift]

[A singer? For what? OH WAIT.]

Oh, you sing? I run the night club here, and we could always use more musicians.
