033 Red Letters

[eat_me_beat_me]

Alright. I know there's been talk about a book club or whatever for a while. But, like a lotta things here, it seems like a lot of "we should" and "we'll do" and not enough "let's DO this."

So. This is me. Doing this.

I found a book in the library that looks pretty cool and if anyone else wants to read it, too, just let me know and I'll have the ghosts bring you a copy. It's called Ego and Enmity and the Undead. So, what do you think? Any takers?

[chancing]

I like that idea. There is quite a bit I do not know and a meeting like that would be very informative.

[eat_me_beat_me]

When would you like to do this? I work at the gallery, but I'm free most of the rest of the time.

[chancing]

I have been invited to a wedding in a few week, but other than that I do not have any immediate plans that should get in the way of us meeting within the next few days.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Oh yeah? Who's wedding is that?

Okay. Where would you like to meet?

((ooc: Do you want to do a log or something? Or should we just handwave at this point?))

[chancing]

I am not sure exactly. I am going as the... date [Thats the word Ezio used, right?] of someone who knows the bride.

((OOC: Handwaving is good!))

[eat_me_beat_me]

Yeah? That's cool. Yeah there are a couple weddings coming up. I'm just going as a date for one of them... But I know the groom for the other one.

[chancing]

It will be my first modern wedding so I am sure it will be an interesting experience.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Yeah? I haven't really been to any, myself, but I know some about it. Anything you want to know?

[chancing]

Do you know what the ceremony itself is like? I have heard that it is not so different from what I am used, but I did not get many details.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Well the actual ceremony depends on how religious they want it. But generally there's music and the bride walks in after a procession of like bridesmaids and a flower girl, maybe a ring bearer or something. The bride and groom stand in front of a priest or someone who can do the ceremony. The priest talks a lot, they do their vows and exchange rings. Then they kiss and that's it.

[chancing]

That does not sound so different from what I am used to. I suppose there are some traditions that will stay the same no matter how much time passes.

[eat_me_beat_me]

[She smirks] Especially if it involves the church.

[chancing]

[laughs] Yes, the church does tend to like to keep things as consistent as possible.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Yeah see I'm more the impulsive type. Church and I don't usually get along.

[chancing]

The church is very hard to get along with unless you follow its very specific rules. Of course there is always confession, but I imagine most people simply repeat their offense anyway.

[eat_me_beat_me]

I've always been more of a fan of breaking rules than following them [she laughs]

[chancing]

That sounds like it would be a much more exciting way of living.

[eat_me_beat_me]

It's a hell of a lot more fun than sitting around watching the world go by.

[chancing]

I imagine so. Unfortunately, I have never been one to break many rules.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Maybe now's your chance.

[chancing]

Perhaps I will take that chance. I many not get another one.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Let me know if you need any ideas. Lord knows I've broken enough rules and conventions since I've been here.

[chancing]

What sort of things have you done?

[eat_me_beat_me]

Let's see... I've painted the lobby a few times, painted the inside of the elevators, put a giant dick on the roof...

[chancing]

I see... How exactly did you manage the last one? [And why? That just seems bizarre to her.]
