Wanted: tailor to make several wedding tuxedos.

Payment can be arranged.

[Yep. That's it. Secretly Reno is embarrassed he even has to go on the network and ask, but since the beans were spilled he figured to get it over with. What he's got in mind is something like this.]

Wedding tuxedos? Those seem uncomfortable to wear in a casual setting, don't you think?

[ Not quite getting it. ]

It's not for a casual setting.

Hoh, then what is it for? You can't possibly think of having a wedding here.

[ Um. ] Right? People can't get married in this kind of place...

yes that

[midgarhorizon]

[The reply doesn't come for a while, but then...]

If you can do it without more commentary, fine. I can pay you. If you can't, then hang up your personal issues with the Tower of Animus at the door.

[Anyone who sees him in the library might have noticed his loud "AUGH" though, and then carefully write, erase, and rewrite his response several times.

He took a page from Tseng's book and used the diplomatic approach.]

[angramaintsu]

Ugh, it isn't that. [ She's just surprised. After only being here for a few months, she can't imagine how people can ever become comfortable enough for that sort of thing. ] Maybe, maybe it's a good thing.

... I can't sew well, but I could keep monsters--[ As well as people. ]--away from the event should you need security.

Um, but I know someone who might!

[midgarhorizon]

[considering, considering...]

All right. You're hired.

Who do I contact?

[angramaintsu]

[ It's every girl's dream to see a wedding. Usually they think of their own, but Rin's not the type to fall in love and live happily ever after. ]

His name is Archer. He dresses in red and black. Although, you could just stalk the workshop area for others who might be interested.

[midgarhorizon]

I'll check it out. Thanks.

A wedding, huh? Congratulations! Can't sew a modern tuxedo, but I'd help make the wedding a fun occassion any way I can.

Trying to keep it small, bro. Just looking for a tux.

[Says the groom. He's really got no clue how these things are supposed to work.]

[puppy_lancer]

Just that? Well, I think one or two of the Tower's ladies sew, but they'd need your measurements. And the measurements of anyone else who might need a tuxedo. Then give them a lot of time to put it all together.

[Lancer was married once. Though he was far from a wedding planner, he did have a very general idea of how things worked.]

So everything else is set? Food? Seating? Music? Security?

[midgarhorizon]

Yeah it's fine.

[Totally lying. Reno hadn't even thought of anything except for the security bit.]

[puppy_lancer]

What about the blushing bride? She got her dresses and bridesmaids? How about someone acting as father to give her away? Or even flowers? Modern weddings have flowers, right?

[midgarhorizon]

"Give her away?" I think we're talking about a different ceremony here.

[Now he's just getting confused]

[puppy_lancer]

Well, in the weddings I'm used to, the bride and groom are supposed to move into their own house after getting married, especially if you're eloping or something. So the bride's parents at least symbolically give her into her new household.

Or is it all different for your planet?

[midgarhorizon]

Another Earther, huh?

[puppy_lancer]

Yeah, what about it?

[atouchofstrife]

I still got that suit.

[...]

I am still not wearing a tie.

[midgarhorizon]

You been conscripted yet?

[atouchofstrife]

I guess I have been.

[midgarhorizon]

What's she getting you to do?

[atouchofstrife]

...Something that better not involve a dress.

[midgarhorizon]

But I heard you look really good in a dress.

[atouchofstrife]

Do you trust the judgement of a guy that smells like a warthog bathing in sulfur?

[midgarhorizon]

I do when I'm crushing his thumb under my boot.
