Smallville and I figured it was long past time we set a date, so this is making it officially official. ... That is, assuming that the castle manages to put itself back together again by April, because if this is going to be the new standard around here? We might need to think about relocating the ceremony somewhere where the cake won't abruptly turn into a feral tiger. I mean, nothing against tigers, but this wedding? Is going to be circus animal free.

But for now, I'm going to go ahead and assume this is just one of the castle's usual bouts of temporary insanity and it'll allll blow over by tomorrow. Or... next week.

... At least by April. Right, Paradisa?

Right.

Aww, no petting zoo? [He's just joking.]

Well, we do plan to let a monkey into the wedding party.

[He laughs and plays along... unless there really will be a monkey, but he thinks she's just joking around.] What's the monkey's name?

I think it's Christopher. You'll have to ask him when you see him.

That's funny, that's my name too! [Heehee.]

What a coincidence!

We do? [amused]

I heard he looks adorable in a little suit, too.

Hmm... monkeys in suits. That's familiar, for some reason...

I've heard about monkey suits before... Why do they call them monkey suits if the suit doesn't really look like a monkey?

Have you ever seen a little money in a suit with an organ grinder?

What's an organ grinder...?

[OOC: Oh my god I just about died there for a moment because I saw 'organ grinder' and my brain was like WAIT WHAT CLARK WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT HE'S NINE - .... oh. Oh wait. He's talking about those musical things, isn't he. -dead-]

A mechanical organ is a musical instrument. The operator would turn a crank and it would grind out music. Those musicians often kept little monkeys in suits.

I've never seen one in real life, but they're in movies and cartoons sometimes.

[ooc: AHHAKDHAJKSd oh god... I WAS thinking about how our generation prob barely knows wtf an organ grinder was.]

What did the monkeys do? Did they play the music too?

[OOC: I didn't realize what they were called until I looked it up on wikipedia, aha. But I've seen them before! In museums, that is.]
