047: God, Give Us Love In the Time That We Have

[contract_star]

[Here they are again in the kitchen, only this time there's quite a lot more food. Hei is cooking up a storm, and there's a wide variety already set out onto the counters. Most of them are hors d'oeuvres of various kinds, as well as dinners that are a mix of Chinese and Japanese. All of it, frankly, looks like something you'd see catered at a wedding. Misaki, meanwhile, is at the table, sorting through all manner of papers.]

[Hei looks up from making little strawberry tarts to Misaki.] We're pretty much on schedule. I'll be able to pick up the cake in about an hour.

Good. [She pulls out something that looks like a guest list.] I can't remember who here still doesn't know.

I think most of them do. In any case, we have a few more hours to spread the word.

A few more hours. [She lays her head on the table] What made us think this was a good idea, again?

[He laughs.] Well, most of them don't even seem to remember the first time. This way we know they'll be able to attend.


[ooc: Blue=Misaki, Red=Hei. Also, Boogie's tags will be slow for awhile.]

A second wedding? What is this, a cheesy sitcom on Valentine's Day?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

Well, if it isn't Ward and June Cleaver. I do hope this isn't catching.

[contract_star]

Not so much a second wedding as a rededication ceremony. Renewing our vows.

...cleaver? [Japanese woman does not get the reference. She just shakes her head.] I'm not going to kill him if that's what you're implying.

[contract_star]

Who?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

It's a rededication, not a wedding.

[ghostlighter]

[... um.]

[Busy shuffling papers since Hei won't let her help with the cooking. More for the sake of the food than her.]

[a pause to consider this]

...as tempting a mental image as that is, that isn't exactly what I had in mind, no.

What's all this, then?

[ghostlighter]

Please tell me this isn't what it looks like.

[madamemoiselle]

Attend what?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

Leave it to Beaver. Nausea-inducing television program from the 50's. I suppose you wouldn't know it.

So, turned your talents to catering, have you?

[lamb_of_gold]

What are you cooking? It all smells very good.

[contract_star]

Nope, can't say that I have.

Oh, no way. This was so much work. I could never do this all the time.

[mercwamouth]

So will I be invited this time?

[mercwamouth]

You say tomato, I say po-tah-to.

[contract_star]

Oh, hi, Chris. We didn't have time to send out invitations, but you should know that you're invited, too.

[contract_star]

Our rededication ceremony! We're renewing our vows.

[madamemoiselle]

That's still going on? Really?

[ghostlighter]

What?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

The rededication ceremony. Did we not tell you?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[smiles at him] Everything under the sun and then some, most likely.

[madamemoiselle]

No, I haven't heard.

[lamb_of_gold]

Why?

[contract_star]

Oh, where do I even begin? Peking duck, sushi, scallops, crab, udon, tempura...and then a lot of European-based appetizers and little desserts. I didn't bother with the cake--it would have taken too long, plus I'm not very good at wedding cakes.
