Adventure the Fourth [Video; SOOOOO very locked away from Aurora]

[philip_charming]

[The video comes on without any jarring or jolts; Philip's been practicing.

Stepping back from the Dreamberry to get more of himself recorded, he began:]

Hello, Somarium. This is Prince Philip; you might have noticed my name on the wedding invitations sent out this Sunday past.

Well, I've been handling the arrangements while my dear Aurora took care of the planning, and my side is either all prepared or will be by the time our blessed event rolls around... Except for one aspect.

Someone to officiate.

[Feel free to laugh and mock here, Philip feels like he has it coming.]

So I put it to you, folk of this place. Is there anyone among you that could join my Princess and I in matrimony? As much of a dream this place might be, we'd still like our union to be as legal as possible.

[As a woman who was only married a few months earlier in Somarium, Naomi feels the need to step in and give the young couple a quick kind word.]

Well, congratulations in advance. Any luck yet on your quest?

[philip-charming.livejournal.com]

[And it's much appreciated!]

My thanks, Goodwoman. And no, not yet; we still need an officiator.

[scientize.livejournal.com]

[Aw, Goodwoman. How cute.]

Try asking around in Espoir. There's a great number of churches there.

Wh-- how long has there been a Prince Philip? o:

[Rather than answering the man's query, Jin is more focused on the realities of marrying someone in a dream world-- or in this case, the lack of reality. Want some rain with that parade?]

You intend to marry someone while in a dream world?

Congratulations, your highness. [She sneezes into her handkerchief.]

[yanderequeen.livejournal.com]

[Pinged by marriage. Oh man, she hates this place but there's part of her that's just happy to be away from home and this- this just makes life here a bit better.]

I had no idea you could get married in this place. Congratulations!

[philip-charming.livejournal.com]

[It's important to be appropriate about these things, after all.]

Many chapels, but I've yet to find a priest save for the skeevy-looking Cardinal that set up The Church of Holy Light... And he woke up some weeks ago.

I'd be overjoyed to find a proper priest, but in this place a monarch might actually be easier to hunt down. [Som's weird that way, eh?]

Siiiiince... October-ish? *Has been trying to interact at least somewhat*

[philip-charming.livejournal.com]

[Rain all you like, but good luck trying to dampen his spirits...]

Indeed I do. And again when we wake up, for that matter. We don't know how long we'll be stuck here, and neither one of us wants to wait for something so uncertain; if we're going to live together, it's only right to do so as man and wife.

Why thank you, Milady Liddell- oh? Is something wrong?

[Here, have a concerned prince being all concerning about your welfare in a concernified way!]

[Video]

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

I-I'm [She sneezes] sick.

[philip-charming.livejournal.com]

Why, thank you! [Here, have a pleased smile.]

To be honest, I'm not entirely certain about the protocol of marriage for this place- but so long as we include all our customs and find a suitable officiator to handle the ceremony, I daresay we'll be in good shape.

Would you care to come? We're inviting everyone to the wedding, and the banquet afterwards.

[Video]

[philip-charming.livejournal.com]

OH! I'm terribly sorry! [So fairy children got sick too? Not the point, she needs taking care of!]

Where are you? I'm not certain what I can do to help, but I'll surely try.

[yanderequeen.livejournal.com]

It still sounds nice...

[M-Maybe she could get married to Yukki when he got here... The thought makes her blush sadflkg. She needs to further investigate this]

I would love to come, thank you!

[Video]

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

I'm with my brothers. You can't come, you''ll get sick too!

[scientize.livejournal.com]

[At the mention of that less-than-holy man, an unreadable emotion flickers over the lovely woman's face. Naomi's husband may be pleased the handsome, Italtian charmer is gone, but Naomi herself is not.]

Check City Hall. That's where I was married and I believe they might be better able to direct you to what you'd like than most people in the city.

[philip-charming.livejournal.com]

[...Okay, that gave him pause. He REALLY doesn't want to get sick (Or get Aurora sick) on the eve of his wedding! But just to verify...]

Your brothers? Then you're being looked after, there?

[Video]

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Well of course, I'm far too little to stay on my own.

[philip-charming.livejournal.com]

I certainly hope it will be.

[Between the thought of marrying the woman he loved, and having another someone that wanted to come, it's a big beaming grin he's sporting now.]

Wonderful! The information should be on your wedding invitation, and my lady and I will look forward to seeing you there- Ah, but I'm afraid you have me at a disadvantage. [A rueful little chuckle, here.]

As the card states, I am Philip of Corunne; might I be granted your name in return?

[yanderequeen.livejournal.com]

You're getting married to the one you love, of course it'll be nice! I only wish I can do the same someday.

[Oh right, name-]

Oh, I'm Yuno Gasai. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[philip-charming.livejournal.com]

[Philip didn't really have any reason to dislike the man save for a bad vibe and an atrociously rude snub at one point, but all in all he's privately quite glad he never got around to asking Borgia to perform the ceremony.

Even so...] City Hall? Were you then married by the mayor of this place?

...They can do that?

[Finding out that there actually WAS a mayor to handle these things wasn't nearly as startling to learn about the powers he presumably possessed; an EARL didn't have the authority to marry, so why should a mere mayor? That's the parish priest's job.]

[Video]

[philip-charming.livejournal.com]

[Well, YES, but that's what parents were for. Right?

...Waaait. Maybe they didn't come along? It's a good thing she has her brothers available, then.]

Of course, of course. But is there anything I could do to help? I could always drop off a treat from town, something soothing for the throat...

[philip-charming.livejournal.com]

I'm certain that day will come for you, too. [Because seriously, LOVE. It may not always be perfect, but he truly believes in its strength to bring two people together.]

And a pleasure to meet you too, Goodwoman Gasai. [He'll offer a light bow, just out of courtesy.] Have you been in this place long?

[yanderequeen.livejournal.com]

I hope so.

[She's in a good mood now so she'll keep talking and being nice. It was a romantic subject after all.]

Almost a month now. I'm still new to this strange place but it doesn't seem all that bad now.

[philip-charming.livejournal.com]

[D'aww, as far as Philip was concerned she was a perfect sweetheart.]

It has its perils and tribulations, certainly- but there's quite a bit of compensations to be found as well.

[She waves a hand.] No no, I don't want you to see me when I'm sick.
