Sunny: <Awwww!>

Mezzo: Bleh. Weddings like this are always so heteronormative.

Pianis: What do you mean by that?

Mezzo: I... mean... it's... heteronormative? Like, look how all the girls have to wear dresses but the guys wear tuxes and all that.

Sunny: <It was still so sweet, though!>

Pianis: Well, when we arrange your wedding with Ever, you can make it less so.

Mezzo: My what?

Pianis: What, you've been dating them for like 7 years at this point. Don't tell me you weren't thinking about it?

Mezzo: That's not something you can just...

-...-

Mezzo: We're not talking about this.

Pianis: Fine.

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

-Diane leans over to Mezzo-

Diane: Hey, if it makes you feel any better, Kai was one of the bridesmaids, and they're incredibly nonbinary. Takes a teensy bit of the edge off the heteronormativity just with them being there.

Skye: Barely.

Wedding

Artoria and Mordred kind of filter out, presumably with Corrin, while Vi and Siobhan wait until towards the end, and Brynhilde takes advantage of being a ghost to get outside quicker, and afterwards people filter towards the reception area.

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

Mezzo: Oh, well, that's good news.

Sunny: <They should be one at your wedding! And Forte could be the other!>

Mezzo: Sunny, what part of "we are not talking about this" did you not get?

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Alto Mare, wedding

Channah: -gazing at all the mosiacs now that the ceremony is over- (So that's what you look like with all the lights on.) -to Tagg- Not a bad wedding, I guess.

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Alto Mare

Colton, Amaterasu and Roy all stand up, the latter removing his scarf and reaching into his trainer’s backpack for reasons unknown as he walked behind the two of them.

Sylveon returned herself, mostly so she wouldn’t have to walk.

Everyone else, though, continued to walk, Roy ultimately just putting the scarf back on and returning himself so he could navigate the backpack’s infinite void easier.

The two of them walked in silence, Amaterasu looking for Pent, and branching off from her trainer if she could find him.

Alto Mare Cathedral

-To Channah-

Well the last one I went to had the groom's parents try to wreck things I hope I never see them again so just about anything would beat that happening again.

Sol and I have been together for about seven years now... But I'd rather not have a personal wedding, they're a pain in the ass.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Alto Mare Cathedral Square

A tourist (sort of, he used to live in Alto Mare) takes a video in the square. Following him is a milotic. He is talking to a smartphone held on a monopod.

Reynard Albright: I'm here at my hometown where this really snazzy wedding just took place at the Cathedral. Reservations to use that place for weddings are almost impossible to get if you're not rich, so they must be loaded. Wow. Coaches. Man, it really takes me back. You know, when my darling Nora was still in Arceus' good earth, we imagined we'd renew our vows in those hallowed halls, just like my Nono and Nona did back in the olden days. Shout out to my grandchildren, including our little shutterbug Gavin! Giacoma says hi!
Giacoma: <Hi!>
Reynard: Ah jeez, Giacoma. It just feels so good to be back in the old country; I feel like a kid again. After this, we'll have some pasta and a few pokepuffs. I made reservations in that fancy place!

Reynard dabs.

Reynard: Am I cool now, Internet?

Stormchaser, Present

Tommy and Shutter are watching the live stream.

Tommy: I dunno which is worse, that you seem to be competing with your grandfather for fancy place pictures on Imperapic or that he actually may make dabbing popular again. Hey, one of our professor's old assistants liked that one.
Shutter: <<Catatonic embarrassment>>

Alto Mare

Channah: Ah. -pause- I've only ever been to Catholic ones, so this was kinda neat. -another pause- Wonder if they'd let me take a look around.

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

-Diane smiles, and pets Sunny-

Diane: If you want a future wedding to be excited about, Sunny, Skye and I are still planning ours out. Nothing hetero about that one.

-Skye goes red and looks away.-

Diane: Besides, give those two time to propose before you start planning out theirs.

Sunny: <Eeee!>

Fortis: -gasp- Birdie wedding!

Mezzo: Fortis, they're humans.

Fortis: Nuh uh! They're birdies too!

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Skye: -still blushing- We're both.

Diane: Hell, we've both been birds for more of our lives than we've been human. I think she's more right.

Alto Mare

-Something follows the general progression towards the reception. It's probably Pent but he just is being very quiet, practically a shadow-

-A little weird but hey-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Cathedral

Amanita: -sniffs- Wasn't that sweet?

Brie: It was!

Ever: It really was.

-they get up with a yawn-

Well, that's my social interaction for the week. I'm gonna find Mezzo, or jump in a canal maybe.

-they step between two people and vanish-

Brie: ...Uh, alright, Ruby Rose, want to—

-nyoom-

Brie: ....O-oh.

Amanita: Come on, let's go say hi to someone. We can congratulate the happy couple.

Brie: We can try.

-unlike Ever, both Brie and Amanita are thoroughly confined to the prime material plane, and have a bit more trouble making their way through the crowd-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Embedded Tower

Bridget sighs and rubs his temples.

Bridget: She..? Really kid?

Vyvyan looks to his Gardevoir.

Vyvyan: My Gardevoir...? Bridget... He's been my starter ever since I was a little kid. My right hand mon, if you will.

The "He" is stressed.

I'm having to learn to pay the price

Embedded Tower

Colton raised his hands in exasperation before letting them fall to his sides again. “Hey, how was I supposed to know?” He pressed. “I mean, I’ll concede I’m an idiot sometimes, but... c’mon. The Ralts line ain’t native t’ Unova, ya tink cha can throw meh a bone?” He asked, Castelian accent taken to its logical conclusion.

“Oh god that hurts,” he choked before he recovered, no longer forcing his accent. “All honesty, asking gender is really awkward. Getting it wrong is even more awkward,” he said awkwardly.

Cathedral

-The twins are standing in the shadow of a pillar-

Verax: -Jerking his head back with a smirk- "Well then, that was fun, eh?"

Jacob: -Eyes shut, pensively, nods, a small smile playing on his lips- "Indeed."

Verax: "So, back on the trail for us?"

Jacob: -Slipping on his old two-tailed coat- "Quite so. The team has grown pretty capable in our absence, hasn't it?"

Verax: -Shrugging- "Always was. You were just a baby to them, then and now."

Jacob: "Feh. Get torn apart by all three Shards, Calamity, Red Eyes... And that's all the respect I get?"

Verax: "Hah! Gotta make it for yourself kid."

Jacob: "Well, eventually I'll be good enough for me. And that'll be enough."

Verax: -Pushing himself off the wall he was leaning on- "Where did Argentum say that next Anthem lead? Cerulean?"

Jacob: -Turning towards the exit- "I believe Regina was already on getting plane tickets. Knowing her uncanny ability to predict events... I will probably have just enough time to contact the Gym there."

"I believe I need to make a courtesy call."

"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

Clay Cave Emergency Shelter 3:

"Impressive as that all sounds, I wouldn't care if you two were Arceus himself. Those radical psychics are no pushovers, and I doubt even the Unova Regional Champion would be able to stand a chance without putting up a hell of a fight," A gruff, older man who was more than likely one of the higher ups of the mining crew stated bluntly.

"...Psychics, why am I not surprised...?" Mark wondered aloud with a sudden shift in tone that hinted of anger and annoyance.

"I don't know what the deal with those three is, but they're clearly out of their minds with the kind of goals you'd expect a criminal team to have. Like the world doesn't have enough of them already!" The man continued before Mark questioned, "Then shouldn't we take the fight to them before they have a chance to become more dangerous?"

"As tempting as that sounds, most of us aren't pokemon trainers, and the few of us that are had some of their pokemon stolen right in front of them...without pokeballs or anything," The man pointed out before a man only a year older than Mark shouted, "The swarms all started flashing lights out of their eyes...or something, it was hard to tell what was going on...but before we knew it half our mons were suddenly working against us!"

"Damn, now that's fucked. Pretty sure it's illegal too, and their crimes are only going to get worse if we don't do something!" Mark said with genuine concern before the older man in charge pointed out, "Already ahead of you, called up law enforcement on the emergency radio to try and help handle the situation. Those punks are really going to be in for it once they get booked for endangerment, pokemon theft and conspiracy at least!"

"The cops take forever to get anything done. If these psychics are as powerful as you say they are, they won't be able to do anything unless we wear them down," Mark argued after facepalming in response to the mentioned plan.

"I admire your enthusiasm, but quite frankly you don't seem like the hero type kid," The man in charge remarked, with Mark quipping, "Well shit, I knew I shouldn't have left my cape and domino mask at home."

Living The Fever Dream

stormchaser

-Lila and Eva are chatting on a sofa-

Lila: So, if you got married, what would the wedding be like?

Eva: Probably something like a sci-fi wedding. I'd put on a Celesteela themed outfit, with a huge green dress and a long veil. Massive arm cannons optional.

Lila: I'd probably have a beach wedding, then Mantine surf in my wedding dress. Yes, it would probably be hilarious, but that's the point.

-they laugh-

-someone might notice them-

???: Bah. Weddings are overrated.

-There is a man here. With a human-Scyther hybrid-

-Borealis is also there-

Borealis: <From what I've heard of them, they do sound somewhat over the top.>

-Lila and Eva notice the new arrivals- Eva: Borealis, have you not noticed the human Scyther hybrid that just walked it?! It is kinda cool but still.

Borealis: <You're saying that like it's weird.>

Eva: It- nevermimd.

Lila: These mood swings again. It's like I'm feeling, like 10 emotions at once!

-she sighs-

Man: Anyway, have you seen a Tagg? Black guy, yay high, looks like he's seen things no mortal man ever should?

Contact Me!

Borealis: <I saw a tag on this one shirt Eva nearly bought a few days ago, but decided not to because it made her look fat! It was black too!>

-Eva and Lila facepalm-

Eva: Not that type of tag.

Lila: The person Tagg, I'm pretty sure, is at the wedding with just about everyone else apart from us.

Alto Mare Museum Park, The Reception

-A large the commons area is cordoned off many tents with food, drink, and a tent specifically for the bar - entrance to the latter is STRICTLY regulated.-

-Under a cooled tent is the cake. Six tiers, with each tier a differ type of cake. White, chocolate, rawstberry, cinnamon marble, and red velvet.-

-A wooden dance floor has been layed out and and is a 30 piece orchestra and DJ providing music.-

-Circular tables with white tablecloths and chairs dot the area.-

-In one cordoned off area of the commons is a champagne tower with several hundred (!?) bottles of champagne.-

-By the time all the guests from the ceremony would have arrived at the reception it would be after 5 PM, with the sun slowly decending.-

-And thus, people are around.-

-Notably, Mason's team is all more or less gathered together, sans Mason himself for obvious reasons.-

-Kaius is around, with Ellen and Spectrum. Possibly near either Ammy, or Yvan.-

-Skye, Diane, and Alyssa are at the bar. Scarlette and Rose are as well, but elsewhere.-

-Kai...-

-Hm. Wonder where Kai went.-
