All the Small Things:  3 Weddings and a Funeral:  2 Days to Wedding Bells

(In Northern Alberta, within the Sea Side Villa, approaches an Acolyte (Lucius) towards a standing Wizard (Dustin).)

Dustin: Late.
Lucius: (stops a few steps from Dustin.) *sigh* What can you expect?
Lucius: You made me come all the way to a ghost town.
Dustin: I'll pay for the costs.
Lucius: 5k.
Dustin: (with silence dots.) Overpriced. You took the Izlude way.
Lucius: Well, I don't come cheap. And money talks. *grins*
Lucius: By the way, what the heck am I here for?
Dustin: You're in Pimpymac's party?
Lucius: The Pimp?
Lucius: ...Yeah.
Dustin: ...
Lucius: (holds a question mark.) So?
Dustin: Good.
Lucius: And?
Dustin: Talked to your woman.
Dustin: Needs armor.
Lucius: Yeah. Undine always gets hammmered by the thief bugs.
Dustin: Tough.
Lucius: But, we're both broke now. Got matching rings...
Dustin: ...
Dustin: I can take care of that.
Lucius: (holds silence dots.) What do you mean?
Dustin: Do something for me.
Lucius: I don't go that way, man. (has a poring smile sign.)
Dustin: ...
Lucius: Okay, what is it?
Dustin: You know Addy, right?
Dustin: Aka Adrianne, the Priestess.
Lucius: Who?
Lucius: Oh. I think I've seen her around.
Lucius: Hold on a moment...aren't you two engaged?
Dustin: Yes.
Lucius: Congratulations man. Now I don't have to worry about you hitting on me.
Dustin: (holds silence dots.) Addy's in the same party I'm in.
Lucius: ...So?
Dustin: We can know if she and Pimpymac are in the same place.
Lucius: What are you getting at?
Dustin: You and Undine don't make much selling warps.
Lucius: (holds silence dots.) ...We make a living.
Dustin: 800-1000z per warp. You wait longer than a merchant for customers.
Dustin: Then you make a measly 300z or so profit.
Lucius: (has dark clouds overhead.) I didn't come here to be insulted. (turns and starts to exit.)
Dustin: Wait.
Lucius: (stops and turns towards Dustin.) Fudge off.
Dustin: Let me deal you. (walks to a few steps away from Lucius.)
Lucius: (holds an exclamation mark.) Wtf??? I could buy an ambernite card with this!
Lucius: Just where'd you get this cash?
Dustin: Drops. Rares. You'll get more if you listen.
Lucius: ...All ears.
Dustin: I want you to play recon for me.
Dustin: When the locations of Addy and Pimpymac match, you go to them immediately.
Lucius: Why...what for?
Dustin: They've been frequenting together a lot.
Dustin: Lately.
Lucius: (a laugh sign appears.) Insecure on your girl? Heh, guess you Wizards can't compete with Knights.
Dustin: You can't do much when you're poor.
Lucius: Pimp's my friend.
Dustin: Money talks.
Lucius: ...
Dustin: Report to me on everything, even a heart sign. The more you report, the more you get extra.
Lucius: Dangit.
Lucius: You mean, if your girl cheats, I get more cash?
Dustin: I want to know what's between them.
Dustin: Do you want Undine to have a Saint's Robe?
Lucius: ...
Dustin: I'll whisper you when Addy changes locations.
Dustin: Whisper me when Pimpymac does too.
Lucius: Why don't you just trust her?
Dustin: (silence dots appear.) ...
Dustin: I love Addy. I can't afford to.
Lucius: ...





(Within Prontera Church in front of the pulpit are a standing side by side a Knight (Herbert) and Blacksmith (Four).)

Four: So the 3 couples will stand this way towards the Priestess. What was her name again?
Herbert: Ohh, um, Priestt. Wendel.

(From the side walk in a Knight (Zace) and Assassin (Bob). Bob walks and sits beside Herbert, while Zace goes to a few steps below Four, Bob, and Herbert.)

Four: I see.
Bob: (with a kiss and heart sign.) Heya, Ert. ^O^
Four: Hello guys.
Zace: Hi.
Herbert: (mirrors Bob with a kiss sign.) Helllo, Bobb.
Four: So it is true. You two are really in a Yaoi guild.
Bob: Yeah.
Zace: (has a question mark.) Like our emblem?
Herbert: I see too guyy signs, like the Yuuri guild.
Bob: Ert, let me give you something.
Herbert: Ohkay, deare.
Four: What a sweet thing. (has a poring smile sign.)
Herbert: .....
Zace: What was it?
Herbert: Io'm not wearing that.
Four: Hmm...what was it?
Bob: A wedding veil for Ert. He's my blushing...bride.
Herbert: No, I'm teh groom.
Four: *ponders*
Bob: I think you're mistaken, Ert. One of us has to be the bride.
Herbert: Asssassins look clohser to women.
Bob: (is covered with a dark cloud.) We do not!
Herbert: Teh robe you wearr.
Bob: What about the times when guys mistook you for a girl?
Herbert: (with a dark cloud.) Youu promised noht to bring that uup again!
Zace: (with a laugh sign overhead.) A lover's quarrel.
Four: *laughs*
Bob: ^o^ It just shows you're the better bride.
Four: Hmm...why not have both of you wear the veils?

(Bob, Zace, and Herbert have question marks.)

Four: Aren't brides those that love men?
Bob: Don't think so.
Zace: Not exactly.
Herbert: Ohh, umm...fine.
Four: Hmm?
Herbert: I'll wear iyt.





(Crowded around the Kapra staff North of and outside of Prontera City are a Hunter, Knight, Priestess, Blacksmith, and Wizard. On the left side of the screen sit side by side the Priestess (Candy) and Blacksmith (Garnet) facing each other. To the right sit a Hunter (DingO) and a Wizard (Sage) facing the Hunter. A few steps in between sits the Knight (Million) facing Ding0 and Sage.

Sage: (with heart signs overhead.) Come on, honey. Can't you recognize affection when it's received?
Ding0: Ah...I'm really flattered, but...
Million: Sage, quit it.
Garnet: (turns towards the right.) I thought you liked Knights.
Ding0: I'd rather not mac with you.
Sage: Yes, but I'm accepting of all classes. (has a thumbs up sign.)
Sage: (holds a sob sign overhead.) What, I'm not good enough? 
Candy: ...
Ding0: It's not that. I'm just not interested in romance in general.
Million: Ding, you got Anklesnare yet?
Sage: I always tragically fall for the unavailable.
Garnet: Lol. (turns back towards Candy.)
Ding0: Of course, man. ^.^
Candy: 2 days.
Ding0: Saved my hide in the dungeons a bunch of times. (does a peace/victory sign.)
Million: Hehe.
Garnet: I know. I'm nervous, excited, and anxious all at once.
Sage: Have you selected your bridesmaids yet?
Garnet: How about you, Candy?
Ding0: Mids 3 is rough. The Mummy packs a punch.
Million: Hehe, yeah.
Candy: We talked with Herbert and Bob, and arranged ourselves into brides and grooms.
Candy: (has a heart sign.) Same here, Garnet.
Million: I wasted blue pots on Bowling Bash all the time with the SS hordes.
Sage: Oh?
Ding0: You two are getting married?
Garnet: Yes. (mirrors Candy with a heart sign, followed by a kiss sign.)
Ding0: To each other?
Candy: Yeah.
Ding0: Oh. ^.^
Sage: (holds a question mark.) Who's who? Brides and grooms, that is.
Garnet: Herbert and I are to be the brides...
Sage: I see.
Million: Cool.
Garnet: While Candy and Bob are the grooms.
Candy: Arranged an hour ago at the church.
Garnet: By the way: Sage, Ding0, you are coming, right?
Million: I've already got a seat at the front. Hehe.
Ding0: If I'm online then, yeah.
Sage: Of course!
Sage: I just HAVE to catch the bouquet(s). (has the music sign overhead.)
Million: My HP's healed. You done yet, Ding?
Ding0: Yep, I'm ready.
Sage: SP's regenerated for quite some time now. I guess I should go too.

(Ding0 and Million stand and begin to walk up from their spots. Sage stands up and follows.)

Garnet: We're finally alone, dear.
Candy: Yeah.
Garnet: You do know how I unfathomably love you, right? (holds a kiss sign.)
Candy: ...
Candy: (mirrors Garnet with the opposite kiss sign.) I care for you too, dear.
Garnet: What's wrong?
Candy: Nothing. Just distracted.
Garnet: By what, dear?
Garnet: It's not, someon...
Candy: It's nothing.
Garnet: Okay. (holds a poring smile sign.) I can't wait until they implement our type of marriage into Midgard.
Candy: Yeah.
Garnet: Us and the Duo are the first marriages from our guilds.
Candy: Yeah.
Garnet: Remember our first date?
Candy: Yeah..
Garnet: The island above air was truly a magnificent sight.
Candy: Yeah..
Garnet: (sweatdrops.) Um...
Garnet: Seriously, what's that matter?
Candy: Someone's whispering me.
Garnet: (holds a question mark.) Oh, who?
Candy: ...
Candy: Bob.
Garnet: I see. I thought we planned everything for the wedding.
Candy: Yeah.
Garnet: Candy!!!
Candy: Yeah?
Garnet: (holds a dark cloud.) Stop saying just "Yeah."!!!
Candy: (a sorry sign hangs overhead.) I'm sorry, dear.
Candy: You know I care for you.
Garnet: Yeah.
Candy: I have ever since we met.
Garnet: Yeah.
Candy: (has a silence dots sign, before holding a laugh sign.) Okay, okay. I get it. I'm sorry.
Garnet: (has a music sign.) Apology accepted.
Garnet: Is Bob still whispering you?
Candy: No. He just went offline.
Garnet: Okay. Hmm. I was wondering about our wedding vows.
Candy: Yea...How so?
Garnet: This one should be relatively simple for us, but, well...
Candy: What one?
Garnet: The never cheating on each other one.
Candy: ...
Candy: Got that in a bag.
Garnet: Oh, phew.





-Notes-



Well, that's another segment done. Whoo! There's going to be a few plot twists soon (I think you can already see them coming, hmm...). I can't really promise happy endings for everyone in AST (All the Small Things...yeah, a self-promotional jab), but who knows?

New characters are always appreciated, though they might take awhile to be put into the story. Oh, and thank you thank you ding0 and Arcaron for your character suggestions!!! ^_^ 

So far, I've TRIED to tone down/throw out the Mary/Garys............

Here are the apologies: Yeah, yeah, there was a lot of mushy stuff, melodrama, and lack of humor. Plus, there are going to be more one on one dialogues for better characterization (sorry if that perturbs you). Agh...sorry about that. X_X Plus, like a million apologies to those this was based upon. It's just that your characters are really fun to write about. ^_^
