Velcora and Cheliyi's wedding day

A wry smile spreads across your face.

Inching along happily, a rainbow-splattered, eye-catching amberni grub wriggles off and out of sight, disappearing amongst the branches.

A halo of celestial light wells about Tridemon, the shells upon a shimmering wreath of seashells reflecting it outwards and painting the surroundings in a spray of oceanic hues.

Tridemon ponders an emerald-hued snowglobe thoughtfully, looking it up and down.

You tilt your head curiously at Tridemon.

Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters thinks to himself: I remember when I got this. There were nymphs and you gave them something crafted...

You nod your head slowly in understanding.

A pale, overgrown mugwump hums a happy tune.

Awash in the sweet, luscious scent of ripe fruit, Velcora enters languidly from the northwest.
Swaying and bending, Velcora departs to the northwest, awash in a sweet, luscious scent of ripe fruit.

Greywalker Velcora Lunarose, Prismatic Voice yells, "Eep."

Velcora's melodic voice sings into your mind, "Are we not supposed to see each other yet?"

You give a trillingly melodic laugh, your frills resonating with joy.

Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters thinks to himself: ... posies.

Harmony echoes in your mind as you sing to Greywalker Velcora Lunarose, Prismatic Voice, "I think we can look at eachother, yes."

Velcora's melodic voice sings into your mind, "Ok."

Awash in the sweet, luscious scent of ripe fruit, Velcora enters languidly from the northwest.

You think to yourself: **utter joy**.

She is a bouncing furrikin fragrant demigoddess changeling, with distinctly vulpine features. Lustrous orange fur coats her form, and her long hair is almost the same shade of orange. Flowers of every color bloom in her hair and fur. Her scintillating eyes are shining like emeralds, and the happiness that is evident there is mirrored by the serene joy of her fox-like smile. Her skin shimmers faintly from a thin application of oil and smells faintly of jasmine, sweet and floral. Tattooed on her neck is an illustration of a vivid watercolour goldfish. A lush fragrance dances about her as she stands awash in the wild, prismatic colours of a truefavour from Maylea, Bloom of Serenity.
She is wearing:
a brilliant white rose growing in her hair
a brilliant white rose growing in her hair
a brilliant white rose growing in her hair
a brilliant white rose growing in her hair
a brilliant white rose growing in her hair
a brilliant white rose growing in her hair
a brilliant white rose growing in her hair
a brilliant white rose growing in her hair
a brilliant white rose growing in her hair
a brilliant white rose growing in her hair
a twilight blue rose growing in her hair
an entrancing red rose growing in her hair
an elegant pink rose growing in her hair
a midnight black rose growing in her hair
a translucent crystal bindi
a bright yellow rose in her hair
a veil of water lilies
a verdant wedding sari with a single silken flower
green sandals covered in white silk flowers

You look at a verdant wedding sari with a single silken flower that Velcora is wearing:
Exquisitely lovely, this verdant green sari is a lighter green than a
field of grass, but still unmistakably reminiscent of one. Hundreds of
tiny threads are beaded with minuscule green beads in a wavy, grass-like
pattern across its entire surface. A long drape of cloth hangs down from
the left shoulder of the wearer, a flowing, smooth expanse of lush
greenness. Atop that shoulder stands one incredible, silken white
flower. It is unlike any flower in existence. The outline of a lily pad
adorns the shoulder itself, and from there an orchid's stem branches
upward. At the end of the stem, the bloom itself is in the shape of a
white rose, but it glows with an inner light, like a moonflower. The
calming scent of sweetgrass drifts away from the perfumed, silken
flower. It is a miracle of craftsmanship and imagination: a combination
of several flowers and yet not truly any of them. Silvery threads
decorate the edges of the sari. The back of the sari has embroidery of a
small orange fox loping across the waist.

You give a short gasp of elation.
You hug Velcora as best as you can, pulling them into a tight embrace.
Delighted, you say, "Love, you look amazing, yes."

Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters thinks to himself: ... many roses.

Velcora's eyes widen as she beholds you with a look of awe and wonder.

A sweet and floral odour wafts into your nostrils from Velcora's direction.

You grin mischievously at Tridemon.
Sagely, you say, "A whole lotta roses."

Velcora is speechless at first. Then, "Cheliyi, you look so beautiful."

You blink.
You smile softly.

Velcora giggles and blushes a deep shade of red.
Velcora Lunarose says, "Too many roses?"
Velcora Lunarose thinks to herself: Wow, is she really going to marry me?

Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters thinks to himself: Jasmine oil. Smells nice.

Warmly, you say, "The perfect amount."

Velcora smiles softly.
Velcora gives you a peck on the cheek.
Velcora's eyes sparkle with love as she gazes at you. Then she nods to Tridemon in greeting.

Velcora Lunarose says, "Hi soon Dad."

You have emoted: Cheliyi looks absolutely thrumming with happiness, rocking on her feet.

Flapjack the fox says, "I hope I have enough cognac for this wedding thing."

Velcora hums a happy tune.

A wry smile spreads across a pale, overgrown mugwump's face.

Velcora Lunarose says, "Uh... I suppose there are others who would... like to... ah. Well. It is good to see you, like I said."
Beads of sweat break out on Velcora's face.

A pale, overgrown mugwump utters a deep, rumbling laugh.

Flapjack the fox rolls his eyes at Velcora.
Flapjack the fox sips happily from a tarnished silver goblet.

A pale, overgrown mugwump nods his head sagely.

Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters thinks to himself: ... Daxera is my aunt, mother to Iora, in turn mother to Auriella, whose other parent is Malikai, who is the son of Shulamit, sister to Silvanos, who is Velcora's parent.
Tridemon nods his head sagely.

You stare blankly at Tridemon.
You stare blankly into space.

Velcora blinks.

Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "Iyam glad I am adopted."

Velcora bursts into a fit of giggles, ending with an abrupt and surprising snort.
A startled laugh escapes Velcora's lips, which is quickly stifled as her hand moves to politely cover her mouth.

Wryly, you say to Velcora, "Tridemon is distantly related to yous."

Velcora Lunarose says, "Oh?"

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says, "I am related to probably 30% of the Basin, depending on how you trace the family trees."

You grin mischievously at Tridemon.

Spilling ever more of its bounty, the light rain develops into a cascading downpour.

Velcora Lunarose says, "That seems... impressive."

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says, "In this case, you have to track back up from a child to the parent I'm not blood related to otherwise."

You hum softly, your frills vibrating with song.
You nod your head sagely at Tridemon.

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says, "Daxera is my aunt, mother to Iora, in turn mother to Auriella, whose other parent is Malikai, who is the son of Shulamit, sister to Silvanos, who is Velcora's parent."

Comprehension flashes across Velcora's face.
Velcora Lunarose says, "Pretty distant a relation."
Velcora Lunarose says, "Dad will be easier to remember."

You smile softly at Velcora.

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says, "Yep."

Velcora's mouth turns up as her face breaks into a smile.
Velcora sways back and forth.

Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters thinks to himself: ... I forget if it's 26 or 28 half-siblings...

You giggle happily.

Velcora Lunarose says, "You aren't going to change your mind and marry this Morningsong Sister instead at the last minute, are you, Love?"

Lifting a dainty hand to finger your neckline, you glance about with uncertain disdain.

The corners of Velcora's mouth turn up as she grins mischievously.

Flapjack the fox rolls his eyes at Velcora.

---> look Miau

They are a bouncing furrikin, a nimble, hyperactive little thing, despite the baby fat. Their fur is brown-grey, with a bandit's mask of black fur surrounding their big brown eyes and a pert, twitchy little nose and white whiskers. They are the proud owner of an almost absurdly bushy tail covered in broad black stripes and if they are idle for too long, which is rare, they tend to default to grooming it.
A soft chestnut colour, their hair has been left to cascade till the shoulders in a somewhat unruly and unkempt manner. Various ornaments have been woven into the strands - quartz, a dried leaf, some stray feathers - giving it an earthen quality.
They are wearing:
a ceremonial-style crown of antlers
a lacy kitten-bow blouse of mossy charmeuse
a flowy fen-chic cattail skirt
ribbon-laced kingfisher slippers
a Hornsmen's iris

---> look box

Rustic in design, though nevertheless beautiful in its own right, this
tiny box has been hewn from black onyx with a myriad of glassy facets
about its exterior. The gem is polished to gleaming, accented only by a
golden pyramidal clasp inlaid with indigo lapis. When opened, the mouth
of the box shines with padding of sleek gold satin, the fabric evidently
chosen to not only attract the eye but also complement whatever trinket
might lie amidst its plush folds.

Velcora Lunarose says, "Thank you!"
"Ummmm," Velcora says uncertainly.

You open a small, hinged box of rough-cut onyx.

---> EXCUSE ME WHILE I DIE BECAUSE FLOWER POWER WHEW

A blossom drops from the limbs of the great tree, drifting here and there upon a soft breeze. When the blossom lands at your feet, it begins to glow, the light of its hues rising higher and higher, until the form of Maylea, Bloom of Serenity appears amidst the branches.

Velcora's mouth turns up as her face breaks into a smile.

---> look Maylea

She is a radiant immortal and glows with effulgent life, a powerful sense of vibrancy emanating from Her presence. There is something thoughtful and introspective about Her expression and Her brilliant golden eyes, as though She gazes farther into the soul, brushing aside the impermanent layers of existence to seek the truth within. Streaks of deep blue wind through Her chestnut hair as it falls straight down Her back to the hips, several shorter locks dangling forward to frame Her heart-shaped face. A thin line crosses the skin of Her left forearm, the only remnant of the scar from a savage bite. An aura of power plays about Her slender frame and sets Her tawny skin aglow in faint, prismatic hues.
She is wearing:
a woven sari edged in prismatic embroidery draped upon Her radiant form
a trailing rainbow sash tied loosely about Her waist
an armband of twining vines wrapped about the upper arm in a vibrant network
a sky-hued bluebell tucked in Her chestnut tresses
a translucent crystal bindi gleaming with prismatic colour between Her brows
an anklet hung with crystal chimes lightly resting against Her bare foot

Esei gives a shallow, respectful bow to Maylea.

Gurashi's plumage ruffles up, and they bow to Maylea, wings flapping wildly behind them. "Good morning!"

Xiran slips into a snowy cloak adorned with moonglory.

Maylea dips Her head, golden eyes sweeping the scene. She smiles gently at Velcora, then you.

Voice quiet with surprise, you say, "Good mornings Lady Maylea, yes."

Whispering, Scarbearer Miau says to Arou, "There's a Goddess here!"

You think to yourself: **a flicker of fear, irrational**.

"Heh heh heh" Silvanos chuckles.

Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters thinks to himself: ... nothing good ever comes from me talking in front of Her.

Brangien blinks.

You glance askance at Velcora.

Velcora flashes Miau a joyous smile.

Maylea, Bloom of Serenity says to Velcora, "You picked a lovely location, My Velcora."

Velcora beams broadly.

Miau turns Arou's head to look if he's not already looking.

You have emoted: Cheliyi's expression softens as Velcora brightens, and she seems somewhat less tense.

Velcora inches over to you and takes you hand. "We chose it together, My Lady."

You blink.
You give Velcora a friendly squeeze.

Velcora Lunarose says, "Oh, Tonatiuh, Esei, thank you for the gift."

The heady scent of roses and congealing blood resonates from Esei, carried on a light wind.

Brangien scratches her head looking for an idea.

Herald Gurashi Skydrifter, Confidant in Saffron thinks to themself: *their mind floods with a myriad of colors, though nowhere near as many that surround the Goddess - a visit from a Goddess, on their daughter's wedding day ... a sense of cautious relief*.

Velcora Lunarose says, "Almost forgot."
Velcora giggles and blushes a deep shade of red.

Rootweir Vembral thinks to themself: Both of the brooches are so lovely. What craftsmanship!

You think to yourself: **you aren't quite sure how to feel, honestly.**.

Herald Gurashi Skydrifter, Confidant in Saffron thinks to themself: *they cannot help it, they can never get a full read - a gift - or a minor slight? meant with care and love, or a crude reminder*.

Velcora giggles happily at Miau.

A beam of moonlight comes down from the sky and bathes Xiran in light.
You sense Norra pulling on the strands of aether surrounding Xiran.
Norra dances down a moonbeam and alights gently on the ground.

"Oooooooooh!" Silvanos says, eyes wide with wonder.

Norra Lunarose of Moon Lake says, "What a crowd! Hello everyone. Please don't tell me I am late!"

Gaze warming, you say, "Thank you all for coming, yes."

You smile brightly at Norra, your frills puffing with joy.

Xiran Stormcrow, Scribe of the Woodbine thinks to herself: ** heartbeats quickened ** Oh, my Lady Lisaera. I am honoured.

The corners of Velcora's mouth turn up as she grins mischievously.

Miau picks up a cheery mugwump cookie with raspberry jam hair.

"Ooohhhhhhhhhh," says Miau.

Couturier Silvanos Lunarose, The Gaudigoose thinks to themself: Oh oh! This is the first time I've gotten to see one of my children get married! Amazing!

Velcora smiles, the nervous trepidation in her voice quickly fading as she speaks her heart's truth. "Cheliyi, when I first saw you, time stopped for me."

Gurashi's attention remains on their daughter, their gray eyes already growing watery just at the sight of the mugwump and furrikin standing before the archway.
Calioliahali's pointed ears twitch attentively, her gaze once more settling upon both you and Velcora.

Velcora looks directly into your eyes, her smile blooming ever wider. "You were the most perfect, beautiful person I had ever seen. I promise, for the rest of time," --her voice breaks off for a moment as tears well suddenly in her eyes.

Miau sniffles softly.

You have emoted: Cheliyi inhales softly, tearing up as well.

When Velcora continues, her melodic voice is only slightly raspy with emotion. "...to always be there for you, no matter what is that you need from me, but particularly-- ".

Herald Gurashi Skydrifter, Confidant in Saffron thinks to themself: *their earlier concern wanes and is replaced with nothing short of utter joy, so much it fills up their heart to its brim, as well as filling their eyes with further tears*.

You think to yourself: **your throat closes up, oh gods, how are you supposed to talk when you're about to cry from happiness? this is t e r r i b l e**.

Maylea's golden eyes fix upon Velcora, a subtle but warm smile playing across Her lips. Her gaze then trails toward Cheliyi, gentle, curious, and it is as if a prismatic glow shines from Her eyes onto each of the pair.

Velcora grins, "--if it is cake. I will cherish every moment we are together, and think of you when we are apart. You make me feel calmer, happier, and more joyful." Tears are flowing freely down her cheeks, her smile still radiant. "And in times when there is no joy, you make me feel hopeful. I promise I will try to do the same for you, with every ounce of my power." She finally wipes a tear away and then takes your hands in her own. "You will always be the mugwump in my pillow fort, the little trill in my branches, and the kephera moth in my heart." A short tearful but joyful laugh punctuates her words. "I love you, Cheliyi, forever and ever and ever. I will -always- be your wifey." She laughs again, a sound that expresses how amazing and unbelievable it is for her to find herself here in this incredible moment. She smiles again, adoringly, at you.

The ominous booming of the shadowbeat echoes faintly from a three-finger ring bearing an amethyst scythe on Esei's hand, and their eyes flicker with wyrden flames.

Arou gives Miau a gentle squeeze, smiling softly.

Xiran Stormcrow, Scribe of the Woodbine thinks to herself: ** fondly and with faint laughter ** Ah. Dear Velcora.

Arou sniffles softly.

Placing it gently  onto her finger, Velcora gives a frost-touched white rose wedding ring to you.

As Velcora does so, green vines tenderly send themselves around your hands and her own, binding them together, and flowers begin to bud upon the vines, mostly white roses.

Norra wipes tears from her eyes, smiling.

Miau pretends they're totally not crying, just wiping their eyes from sudden allergies.

Silvanos smiles happily, wiping glad tears away from their eyes.

You have emoted: Cheliyi bursts into laughter, the sound dangerously close to a joyous sob. She dries her eyes, frills flared with utter joy while thickly swallowing. Her hands grasp Velcora's tightly, the mugwump's bandaged fingers slowly beginning to emit a faint mist.

Gurashi's gaze softens as they smile.

Voice thick, you say, "Cake, of course."

A soft smile on their face, Vembral dabs lightly at their eyes.

Lendren's eyes sparkle with amusement.

Herald Gurashi Skydrifter, Confidant in Saffron thinks to themself: Wifey ...

You close your eyes and inhale deeply, absorbing the scent of your surroundings.

Landing softly on a nearby branch, a twilight phoenix rests from its flight to preen itself.

Tikki thinks to herself: I'm so glad I was able to make it to this. They're such a beautiful couple. Though now I get to prepare for the inevitable barrage of people asking when Luce and I will finally get around to our wedding...again...heh...

Tonatiuh taps a slender finger against an indigo oracle staff bearing hieroglyphic suns as he watches the happy pair, sending copper fireflies into a frenzied dance. They coalesce to form a glowing glyph, a fox? a lily? The symbol dissipates as quickly as it forms.

Velcora flashes you a joyous smile.

Gurashi's hand in Calioliahali's tightens upon her's while their other attempts to stem the tears that have started to flow down their cheeks.

Calioliahali's peeks up at Gurashi at her side when her hand is squeezed, pressing a little closer into their side before returning her full attention to you.

You have emoted: Cheliyi exhales, staring at Velcora with utter fondness. "Velcora, when I first left the Portal, I thought I had everything I could ever want. A forest of siblings, a purpose, a home." Her smile fades ever so slightly, eyes sobering. "I was wrong. I came to find that family is in choice, not in blood. That home is the ones you care for, not a place. And I learned that there is no more important purpose than to treasure and protect those you hold dear."

Flapping its wings thrice, a magnificent twilight phoenix glides away to the southeast in near silence.

Velcora smiles radiantly as she focuses on your words, cheeks wet.

Xiran Stormcrow, Scribe of the Woodbine thinks to herself: ** Tendrils of mist shimmer and sussurate at the mugwump's words, then sink back into the haze **.

Silvanos smiles softly.

You have emoted: Soft mists emanate from Cheliyi's fingertips and wrap like vines around both of their hands, creating a shimmer effect not unlike diamonds as the frost solidifies on each blossom.

Arou smiles softly.

Voice soft with wonder, you say, "Velcora, you came into my life when I was honestly at my worsts. You saw me through the darkest hours of my days, when I was still struggling to find myself and my heart. And by chance, fate, or luck, you stayed. I am the most fortunate mugwumps alive, I think, to have been awake at the same time as you."

Silvanos sniffles softly.

You think to yourself: **a swell of surety, solid in your heart, a tree taking root**.

Arou holds Miau tight.

Arou nods his head sagely.

Tikki jerks slightly as the air fills with sparkling motes of bright light.
You sense Luce pulling on the strands of aether surrounding Tikki.

Tridemon wishes to marry you to Velcora. To authorize this, type AUTHORIZE TRIDEMON TO OFFICIATE.

Herald Gurashi Skydrifter, Confidant in Saffron thinks to themself: *the pink and gold lingers still, tinted blue violet - a lingering sense of fondness, a swell of affirmation, agreement*.

Flapjack the fox surreptitiously wipes a tear from his eye before taking a sip of cognac.
