The biggest event in Mainframe...

[command_dot_com]

...in a little over a tetrakilocycle, is in the center of Mainframe. The Front Hall of the Principal Office has been decorated in white with pale blue flower motifs into every gather and hanging drape.

Such are the perks to being the COMMAND.COM of a small system. The wedding band is waiting on one of the galleries, and everyone else is starting to file in. It looks like every single resident of Mainframe is coming to the event, along with a few friends from outside the system.

♪♫Come on in they're finally getting married♪♫

Just behind him are Captain Capacitor and Princess Bula, walking arm in arm. Well, arm in hand, anyway; Bula's a bit too large for the former to be practical. They're probably getting some odd looks (particularly Bula, decked out as she is in a lurid pink bridesmaid's dress), but they're both used to that by now.

Trailing behind the captain and the princess panoplied in pink come AndrAIa and Ray. There's no height restrictions with these two; they walk arm in arm down the aisle at a steady pace.

Ray, tuxedo-clad but taking it in good humour, smirks and whispers out of the corner of his mouth, "I seem to recall Matrix being paranoid about something like this..."

Beside the Surfr, adorned in a seafoam-green dress, the Game sprite sprite sets him with a hard stare and whispers back at him, "Quiet!"

The man in question is one of two more sprites walking neatly behind the pair. Matrix, the best man, looks impressive in his well-fit tux. His sidearm is worn visibly at his hip, just below where his coat ends, marking him as an honour guard. He eavesdrops on the two sprites in front of him, and just the barest hint of a smile touches his mouth as he hears AndrAIa's final word, quieting the surfr.

Walking arm in arm with Matrix is Mouse, wearing a dark red dress that counterpoints AndrAIa's teal one. Like Matrix, she's an honor guard, and she's wearing her katana on her back.

She notices Matrix's almost-smile and shoots him a fraction of a Look.

Next down the aisle is the groom, walking alone and feeling more than a little self-conscious in his red, black, and gold dress uniform. He fights the urge to tug at his collar again.

He's faced Games, Tears, and viruses. He's faced the chaos of the Web. This should be a piece of cake... right?

Re: Procession

[a1enzo]

Next up are two younger sprites. They aren't arm in arm, much as they'd like to be, because they need their hands free.

Enzo, wearing his dress uniform with pride and the accompanying hat with mild embarrassment, carries a small white cushion, on which rest two small, toroidal golden commands. He's beaming with joy and excitement and oh man they're finally getting married Bob is gonna be his brother this is so cool...

(And every few picoseconds he shoots a smile over at Dani, because, wow, they're walking down the aisle together.)

Re: Procession

[ami_imperfect]

Beside Enzo, naturally, is Dani, clad in a gown of pale yellow (not wearing her stocking cap for once) and carrying a white basket in one hand. She's pretty sure its just her imagination, but she thinks she can feel the congregation staring at her and wondering just who she is. But she can't concentrate on that right now because, hey. She has A Job to do.

Every few picoseconds (when she's not sharing smiles with Enzo), she tosses a couple daisywheels onto the carpet.

And last of all, stepping into the opening of the hallway from behind one of the doors, is the bride, blushing a light jade.

Ignore the jittering you see... Dot isn't nervous about this at all.

Really.

Re: Procession

From behind the other door...

All systems go...

...came an interesting form, though not entirely unfamiliar. A tallish exo-suit form, roughly sprite-sized, operated beneath the head-dome by a certain greenish null. Welman would be smiling if nulls could make such an expression. The suit must've been stashed behind there the whole time.

Re: Procession

[command_dot_com]

And in the silence before the band starts playing the wedding march music... Dot just stares mouth open and jaw dropped in surprise. "Dad? ...is that?"

Her father is actually going to be walking her down the aisle. She didn't think that it was even going to be possible.

Re: Procession

[nullofscience]

Absolutely.

"Phong thought it best if I could actually walk you down, properly."

Hey, it beats having to slither, or even that squishy null-body.

Re: Procession

[command_dot_com]

Just when you thought Dot couldn't smile any more...

The anxieties are almost completely forgotten as Dot holds out her arm to walk down the aisle hand in arm with her father.

The most wonderful cycle of her life.

"Thanks for the surprise, Dad."

Re: Procession

[nullofscience]

The exo-suit took the hand without a flaw in controls or handling. That's right. He's gotten the hang of it too. heading down with her, Welman chuckled slightly.

"Only the best for my daughter."

As far as surprises go for weddings, this one was about as surprising as you get. But the night is young, so...let's see how things turn out.
