"i'm ready now"

DarkJester pulls a small toy dragon onto the table and engages it in conversation

OrionDouglas puts a small toy enterprise onto the table and engages it into hyperspace.

Rochelle puts a small toy brain onto the table and engages it before her mouth. :)

Rochelle Smiles and cuddles Orion closely, kissing her lovingly... "More importantly, would you agree to be married to me?"

Rochelle smiles happily, and hugs Orion tightly... The next time she looks at her hand, there's a beautiful engagement ring there...

OrionDouglas feels something on her hand and looks at it, her face drains of color..

Rochelle hugs Orion again, then notices the look. "...Hm?... What's wrong, love?"

Rochelle blinks, then gasps and hugs Orion closely, gently slipping the ring off. "Ee... Easy there, love. Easy... Sorry... I'd forgotten... This one's not magic..."

Rochelle sighs and hugs Orion closely. "...'m sorry love... I really am... I didn't mean to scare you like that..."

Rochelle nods soflty and smiles, gently kissing Orion, before gently and slowly sliding the engagement ring onto her lover's finger...

Rochelle blinks, finishing slipping the ring on before she looks over her shoulder at Pratz flying past. She waves as he goes sailing past, then when he impacts, holds up a 10 on a card.

Pratz rolls onto the couch on his shoulders and slams buttfirst into the hard floor. "Aoooo... "

Rochelle nods and kisses Orion, before scooting over to Pratz as only she can. "Heya Pratz. Nice landin'" She helps pick him up off the ground and dusts him down, before patting his shoulder. "Lookin' good as usual. Things okay with the wife? And if things are, how good are ya at weddings?" ^.^

Pratz 's Player, being a kind, wise, and generally nice person, who looks upon Pratz as either being his own personal avatar into the world of computing, or the equivalent of Boo to his Minsc, whispers in Pratz's ear with the powers of PlayerMagic. This, along with Pratz's own highly tuned detective skills, tells him what he needs to know in split second timing. His reaction, though, is not noticeably changed. "Huh?"

[Rochelle] "Me an' Orion are gettin' married. We need someone t'do the ceremony... Y'any good at them?"

Pratz looks back and forth between Rochelle and Orion, then nods, looking serious. "Yes. I am. It's a very serious ceremony, though, so.... I'm happy to do it, but there's a few things firstly. I'll need to talk to both of you for a moment together. Is this all right?"

Pratz takes a deep breath. "Before I can assent to the ceremony, I must make certain you understand what you're getting into. Marraige is not just a eexcuse to sleep with one another in the same bed legally. It is a binding oath between motrals, immortals, gods, and the members of the marraige party. In essence, you are saying that this person is the one you love, cherish, and want to be with from now on, until the time comes for you to die. It's nothing else, and if you have any reasons to think why you might not be able to stay together or might not WANT to stay together, I would advise the two of you to say them now before I go any farther."

Rochelle nods, a serious look coming onto her face. "... I'm 100% sure... I love Orion with all of my soul... Or spirit... Or whatever it is I have... But I love her with all of my being... All that I am..."

Pratz nods. "That being said, I need to make certain of one last question. Is there any legal reason why the two of you could not perform the ceremony together, as in previous husbands/wives/marraige partners or other considerations?"

OrionDouglas shakes her head. "Nothing like that." She stands and walks over to be at Rochelle's side.

Rochelle shakes her head. "Nope. I've been single all this time.. And if religion comes into it... well..." She shrugs. "...Call me agnostic if ya will. I dun' mind..." She smiles and slips an arm tenderly around Orion...

Pratz nods, then smiles. "All right. I assent to performing the ceremony. Shall we continue on into the actual ceremony at this moment, or do you two need some time?"

Rochelle looks to Orion, then Pratz. "Well, either's fine by me... But I'm more than happy to wait for a while, if Orion wants some time to prepare..."

Rochelle smiles at Orion, then nods to Pratz. "We need the rings for this, right?"

Pratz nods. "Deal, then. " Pratz closes his eyes for a moment and lifts a hand, and into his mind springs his time spent training on Norrath. A small bag leaps from nowhere to hand, and he reaches inside and removes a small pendant with a odd marking on it, which he places around his neck. "Rochelle Snowfox and Orion Douglas..." His voice has changed, deep and echoing... "... step forward, and join hands before me."

OrionDouglas thinks for a moment, then looks at Rochelle. "You know that ring I gave you for christmas?"

OrionDouglas takes the rind and closes her hands around it, concentrating. A dull glow escapes her hands, and, after a moment, fades. She opens her hands and offers the ring back to Rochelle, it now glows with the same light as Rochelle's pendant.

Rochelle blinks and looks to the ring, smiling at Orion, then nods, slipping the ring back on, walking with Orion to Pratz, and taking her hand...

Pratz nods. "Rochelle, please repeat after me. I, Rochelle Snowfox, do hereby take Orion Douglas to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, to honor and to cherish, to protect, serve with a loving heart, allow to grow even in the worst of times, and defend even in the best of times."

[Rochelle] "I, Rochelle Snowfox, do hereby take Orion Douglas to be my lawfully wedded wife..." She pauses for breath. "To have and to hold, to honour and to cherish, to protect, serve with a loving heart.." She smiles at this point, gently squeezing Orion's hand "allow to grow even in the worst of times, and defend even in the best of times."

Pratz nods. "I make a solemn oath to stand by her side through good and bad, to comfort her in the bright noon day and the still of night, and to love her with all my heart, forever more."

Rochelle takes a breath, comitting the words to memory, before she also repeats... "I make a solemn oath to stand by her side through good and bad, to comfort her in the bright noon day and the still of night, and to love her with all my heart, forever more."

Pratz smiles, then turns to Orion. "Orion, please repeat after me. I, Orion Douglas, do hereby take Rochelle Snowfox to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, to honor and to cherish, to protect, serve with a loving heart, allow to grow even in the worst of times, and defend even in the best of times."

Lothar walks in fully armored and his double bladed sword at his back. He looks through thin slits in his helm and cross his arms. The edges of his cloak attached at his wrists

OrionDouglas smiles, tears in her eyes, as she says, "I, Orion Douglas, do hereby take Rochelle Snowfox to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, to honor and to cherish, to protect, serve with a loving heart, allow to grow even in the worst of times, and defend even in the best of times."

[Pratz] "I make a solemn oath to stand by her side through good and bad, to comfort her in the bright noon day and the still of night, and to love her with all my heart, forever more."

OrionDouglas squeezes Rochelle hand as she says, "I make a solemn oath to stand by her side through good and bad, to comfort her in the bright noon day and the still of night, and to love her with all my heart, forever more."

[Pratz] The windows kick open, blowing the cold night air into the room and creating a bit of wind. "By the powers invested in me as the captain of the Pagoda City Flagship 'Vasteel', by the grace of The Lady Belladonna, by the lawful order of the Mayor of Pagoda City, Frederick de Palma, and by the... "At this point, the wind kicks up in a wind tunnel so the last appelation is for Rochelles' and Orions' ears alone...

[Pratz] "... I now pronounce you wives. Let no being, mortal or immortal split asunder what has been brought together by the love in your hearts. You may kiss the bride."

Rochelle smiles, and wraps her arms around Orion, kissing her in return, deeply and lovingly.

[Pratz] The small pendant around Pratz's neck, pops up over his head under its own power and slides folded back inside the pouch, which vanishes. "Rochelle, do you have the rings?"

Rochelle finishes the kiss, then smiles and nods, looking to Orion's ring and the one that Orion just altered... "Of course."

Pratz nods. "Let the rings stand as both a symbol of the gifts of the heart and soul that you share, and the eternal bond of your marriage, as is shown by the unending band. At this point, I declare you married, and the ceremony inished." Pratz takes a deep breath and lets it out. "There. That wasn't so bad, now was it?"

Rochelle smiles and hugs Orion, slipping her ring back on her finger, and Orion's back on Orion's....

Pratz feels a poke on the shoulder. It's Belle, or rather a ghostly avatar of hers, tapping her foot and frowning at him. "Ladies, I think this is where I bid my adieu. We can talk payments later. I'll have to demand a price no lower than a chocolate chip cookie for two for this one. " He grins. "But for not, I believe I'm going to go home and do the same thing you two are : go home, get in bed, and boink my wife. Have a good evening!"

Pratz waves at them before another Gate pops open behind him and actually moves towards him, swallowing him whole in the process and tearing out a little chunk of floorboard in the process. Pratz doesn't even have time to scream. The avatar of Belle looks on approvingly, then vanishes like a ghost in the machine.

Rochelle giggles at Pratz's exit. "Something tells me that he'll be sleeping on the couch." ^.^;
