A Very Nexus Reception

[smartass_captain]

To all the friends of the happy grooms, PINpoint messages have already been sent weeks ago inviting them to expect quite the street party arranged in the commons of the Nexus. Guests have been invited to bring an appetite--both for food and for a social adventure. Nirnish weddings are public affairs, after all. While the ceremony has had to be somewhat sequestered for the sake of keeping the existence of Other Worlds a secret, neither Felix nor Jim would want to leave out their interdimensional friends entirely. Having a reception party arranged in the Nexus became the natural plan of action.

Overnight large sections of the Commons are transformed via diligent craftsmanship and quite a lot of magic from those who’ve volunteered. Lanterns representing the Divines are hung along every lamp post, bringing at least the idea of warmth even if the flames are too small to heat their surroundings alone. Bardic tunes carry in the air as readily as the scent of food and drink. Past banners of red and black, blue and white the people gather.

For both grooms this is nearly a continuation of the day before. They’ve had the chance to sleep off the nerves of their ceremony. Today is entirely for celebration--uninhibited celebration at that. No more minding what is said and isn’t. No more pretending to be anything other than who they are. Jim’s traded out his Nirnish finery for a suit and tie, garments he’s much more familiar with. Felix is staying with his native clothing; though he may have dressed down a little from his wedding clothes, the conjurer’s dressed in fitted breeches and his best fur-trimmed coat and boots, the soft hide dyed blue to match his tunic. By their side sits the conjurer’s spectral wolf familiar, ears pricked at the gathering.

As the guests find their ways over it will be easy to spot their friends amidst all the decor along with many other avenues with which to enjoy themselves….

"The battle against..who?" With all the rebuilding efforts needed over the last year Katsuya hasn't had as much of a chance to get out as others. He's certainly noticed more Guardians about. More Gods, too. But he hasn't put together what it all meant for their respective worlds.

"Freshly caught form the Nexus?" Oh now that's a pleasant thought. "For seafood I've always gone to the fish markets back in my world. I hadn't even thought to check here for it."

"Thanos is the Mad Titan. He had some kind of device that let him kill half of the people in his home world - it was reversed and Thanos stopped, but from the sound of it there were still casualties. Thanos is the one who attacked Thor and Loki's people - it happened not long after the Long Winter ended and we made our truce with the Fallen." Kinner sighs. It feels like ages ago. "Some of the people he killed were brought back, but not all. One of the Steves is gone. Others, too."

"Yes, there's some good fishing holes here. I can show you some one of these days, if you'd like." Kinner smiles a little, mood brightening. "Fish marketsin your world? I might have to visit someday."

A Titan? Katsuya knows Titans. He's met more than a couple of them and considers Blaze-37 to be one of his most trusted companions. To hear that one went and did something like this? Well. He's going to have to track the Exo down sooner rather than later and get an explanation off of her.

Presumably she's handled it already but he's a little put off that she never came to him for help if that's the case.

"Er. Well, my world isn't the easiest to navigate, if you don't speak Japanese."

"Not the first time I've met someone from Japan." Kinner smiles. "There were two gentleman, actually."

He ought to get around to learning more languages someday. There's no reason not to.

"Didn't get the chance to do much traveling back home," says Kinner, a little embarrassed. "But now I've got all the time in the world to learn. One of the good things about being dead in my world, honestly. Don't have anything back home anymore."

"I'd consider going to Antarctica more travelling than most do in their lives." But then, that didn't end too terribly well for Mr. Kinner from everything Katsuya has inferred. It's still strange to him to hear about people coming here after dying in their own worlds but really it's not The Strangest thing he's had to get used to about this place.

One of many, only this one's more personally unsettling. He's very much form a society that expects the Dead to stay that way.

"One good thing about the Nexus, I suppose. There's no shortages of doors to check out."
