( Here you can just go around and do stuff. )

[Marisa has been actually very quiet the entire time, sitting off to the side mostly to observe. She has her hat in her lap, trying to be a little respectful, but that is about as much as you'll get out of her. But she's willing to be social if approached.]

[loyal_cube]

[Cube is all smiles now, despite being in happy tears during the actual ceremony. Weddings were always very emotional moments for him. It didn't matter how many he had been to, he always found himself in tears of happiness about half way through.

However, now that people were up and about, socializing... he began looking for somewhere to sit down. Preferably away from most people, for a number of reasons... but shyness was one of them. He'll bow to Marisa.]

Do you mind if I sit here?

[He motions to a seat near her.]

[stardustreverie]

Sure, Not saved for anyone.

[She smiles and bows back a bit while seated still, being a bit more animated then she was during the ceremony. During that she was being a observer. Might as well introduce herself, Sense she still didn't know many people around here.]

I'm Marisa by the way.

[loyal_cube]

[Cube nods, before taking the seat. He's as dressed up as he can be, but it doesn't look much different than normal for him.]

It's a pleasure, Miss Marisa. I'm Cube.

[He nervously begins fiddling with his gloves.]

Ah, have you been to a wedding like this one before?

[bitey]

[A little funny blue-haired kid wonders over, right in front of Marisa.]

Hi!

[stardustreverie]

[She looks around for a moment, trying to see if there is a adult around for him. She does offer a smile though.]

Hey, Whatcha doin' here by yourself?

[bitey]

I'm looking for a ring for my wife!

Do you know where I can get one?

[gochuugoku]

Oh, Marisa, I'm happy to see that you were able to come, aru.

[China's no longer dressed in his heavy wedding garments. Now, he's in his usual red mandarin shirt with white pants. He gives a small bow of his head.]

I hope you have been enjoying yourself so far.

[stardustreverie]

Wouldn't have missed it! It's been interestin' ta watch.

[She smiles and bows her head in return.]

I've been mostly watchin' things, but it's been fun ta watch. I can bet anythin' back home ends up in Danmaku battles..And I don't think ti would work here.

[There is a bit of a laugh at this, would be just like home to get into a fight at a happy occasion such as this.]

[gochuugoku]

Is it really that chaotic back at your home? Also, what are Danmaku battles?

[wandthief]

Gellert made it to the wedding and sat fairly quietly with a grin on his face throughout.

He will then mingle with the other guests and talk to the bride and groom if they are around.

[gochuugoku]

[The groom is certainly around. He's been going from table to table. Notice, however, how he's no longer dressed in his heavy wedding garments. He's now dressed in this outfit. When he reaches Gellert's table, he smiles brightly at him.]

Ah, Gellert! Good to see you, aru!

[He'll go ahead and sit next to him for now.] I'm hoping that you were able to see a part of my home country through that ceremony. Also, I thank you for attending and I believe I can speak on my new wife's behalf in this case.

[wandthief]

It was lovely and I was glad to be a part of it. You are happy?

[gochuugoku]

[He nods.] Yes, I am, except this is my first time feeling the happiness that comes from getting married. I never thought I would have the chance to experience it.

I know marriage is full of bumps, but so is life in general and at least in marriage one does not have to face them all alone.

[ Shizuo has so far been quiet and has mingled with a couple of people, but now is the time for him to be a wallflower and chill at one of the many tables set up to rest at. And that is where he will stay unless someone has other plans.

He, of course, has his small plate of treats and is picking idly at it. Ruining China and Stocking's wedding is not on his list of things to do, so he's avoiding anyone who looks like they might be annoying. He doesn't like the selection of music, but is enjoying the listening experience regardless. ]

[shinjukuinformant]

[It wasn't often that Izaya heeded the social norms of society when it came to his peculiar fashion taste. He tended to like standing out far more than he liked blending in more so due to his vanity than for anything else. But as today was a special occasion the raven had deigned to dress somewhat appropriately by at least trading jackets to a simpler one so that attention could then be paid to those the ceremony centered around rather than to himself. (He could play nice every once in a while~)

But still, overall it was a somewhat uninteresting affair. The most fun Izaya was getting out of it was by merely watching everything play out, observing the peoples reactions, their emotions. But after awhile it began to be things he had seen before. Emotions he had witnessed at other weddings and the predictability of it was almost dulling. He enjoyed learning new things, seeing new things, not revisiting old. It was the things he didn't know about, the situations where he had to guess who a person would react, now those were the fun times. Then once his opinion was proved right he would dispose himself of whatever part he played in the game and move on to a new human toy.

But still~ But still~ But still~ He couldn't, wouldn't, ruin a wedding would he?

What kind of God would do something so cruel?]

How does the food taste?

[His scarlet eyes shine with innocence as the information broker moves up behind Shizuo when the blond turns to gather more treats from the table. Though he did not try to mask his presence neither did he try to reveal it until he was right beside the ex-bartender with a look of saccharine coyness expressed across his smiling face. ]

[ Where there is a congregation of joyful people, Izaya is there. Like a vulture circling soon-dead prey.

The stench, of course, reaches him first. Not that the man has ever given off a truly foul odour, rather Shizuo has acknowledged that if the informant was a regular person, his scent would be agreeable. As they are now, however, the flea could very well have been bathing in gasoline.

His face turns, fingers threatening to crush the cupcake in his hand. And there he is. No word from him in weeks and he shows up to likely torture the guests at this wedding. No. No, no, Shizuo won't let it happen. Taiwan and the others spent far too long setting this up and making this perfect only for it to be ruined completely by this insect.

But Shizuo can do nothing about his presence. He has to keep calm, stay out of trouble, just for today, because it's not about him and it's not about Izaya.

So he merely tenses in his seat, glaring daggers at Izaya who's sitting too close for his level of comfort and trust. ]

[shortestfuse]

Tastes fine. [ He grinds out through his teeth. ]

[shinjukuinformant]

Which tastes better?

[Izaya seems wholly ignorant of the rage levels that were being barely contained within the bodyguard's body.

Or at least he acted like he was as he leaned over slightly to take a quick and sneaky bite from the cupcake held within Shizuo's hand. The white frosting manages to smear slightly on the informant's cheek but he doesn't notice as he leans back again with a slightly grossed out expression]

Too sweet.

[allneonlike]

( hope you don't mind a baby yuki going up to you and pulling your pants. )

Excuse me?

[shortestfuse]

[ He feels the tug and casts a look downwards at the small girl by his leg. ] What's up, kid?

[gochuugoku]

[As China is going around socializing with the guests he spots Shizuo. He offers the man a friendly smile and approaches him.]

Nihao, Shizuo.

[shortestfuse]

[ Hearing his approach, Shizuo turns to accept the greeting, nodding to him. ]

China. Congrats.

SING ALONG/DANCE

[tapdancinskelly]

[Brooke is jamming out on his electric guitar for everybody at the party. People can feel free to dance their cares away as Brooke will take nearly any song request for people. And finally, Brooke is also about to play his wedding present song that he created just for this occasion.]

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls of all ages, and all other attending guests! It is time for a song I created just for these two lovebirds, so feel free to join in with the chorus when I sing it! (He's also handed out a bunch of little note cards with the chorus on them.)

♫~He's her home to come back to,
She's his angel in the sky,
He's her love in life forever,
She'll always be his best ally,
He'd do anything for her,
Cause He loves her more than life,
And she's his guardian angel,
And now she is his wife,~♫

EVERYBODY SING!
♫~They are so happy together,
Who could know such love would bloom?
Stocking and China are forever,
They're the bride and groom!~

♫~Oh their a pair made in heaven,
And I know they'll see paradise,
They have just been married,
So let's all throw some rice!
He'd do anything for her,
Cause He loves her more than life,
And she's his guardian angel,
And now she is his wife,~♫

COME ON EVERYBODY!
♫~They are so happy together,
Who could know such love would bloom?
Stocking and China are forever,
They're the bride and groom!~♫

♫~So if you hear about a country,
Blessed with heavenly light,
And if you here about an Angel,
Filled with sheer delight,
It's probably Stocking and China,
The greatest pair you'll ever see,
For their in love forever,
And that's how it's meant to be,~♫

ALTOGETHER NOW!

They're the bride and groom!~♫
