Grey looked at Kirby, realizing fully what the lad meant. This COULD be a problem.

Grey: "Ah, you're right! Still... J and A are humans. I suppose they're probably well-versed in Earth cooking. No reason to be worried!"

Grey still pondered... He hoped there wasn't much meat there...

Nijote, Luke, and Maya enjoyed themselves rather quietly, they were still upset over what happened, but didn't want anyone else to know. Dracoon and Stacice were care free, really not worrying about anything at all.

The wedding party observes everyone enjoying themselves, then they take in the atmosphere of the reception hall for a moment. The general theme of the room seemed to go with "lacy white" , the elegant white fabric covering everything from the curtains to the tablecloths. The tables we adorned with several placesettings, along with a floral centerpiece. There also remained a lone, empty table with nothing else on it.

The main thing that caught most of the guests eyes, however, was the dance floor. It was rather large, or at least large enough to fit everyone on the floor. The DJ stood with his setup in front on the dance floor, ready to play the music for the guests to dance to.

However, the time has come for another part of the formailites...


DJ: "Alright! Before things get too crazy, let's have the Bride and Groom up here for their first dance as a married couple!"

Ada:

Jarukoth:

Ada drags Jarukoth up to the dance floor...

Jarukoth: "Ahh...Ada? ...I...never really danced before..."

Ada: "Come on, with all the martial arts you've learned? You must have SOME coordination. Here, like this..."

She puts his hand on her hip, and meets his other hand with hers, guiding him in the impromptu dance lesson, as a familiar Chris DeBurgh song begins to play...

Shino: "..."Lady in Red"? Real cute, you two..."

-----------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, the waiters come out of the kitchen with platters of food. The general plates served contained Chicken Cordon Bleu. The waiters also bring out two extra vegetarian plates for exchange for the main course...

Of course, none of that matters at the moment to holy woman in the corner, consoling a sad little girl. Nimue suspected that the "death" of herself she was feeling was most likely a loss of innocence. Ami always did seem to be rather introspective for a girl her age, and it wouldn't surprise her in the least if that was the case...


Nimue: "Hmm...Well, let me ask you this...What part of yourself did you see dying?"

-----------------------------------------------------------

On the other side of the room, a hungry hydromancer grows a bit impatient...

Kari: "Do we get to have cake yet?"

Rob: "No, not yet. Not for a bit, I don't think..."

Kari: "Well, I wish they would...HEY! CHICKEN!"

At Kari's rather loud remark caught the attention of the various cuccos wandering about the room. They hopped up on chairs and windowsills, and perked up thier heads, getting a good luck at what was being served on the plates...

Cuccos:

-----------------------------------------------------------

Jarukoth: "By the way...honey, what did you put on the dinner menu?"

Ada: "A surprise..."

Schwa slows his search of Korra to watch the dance. He still walks forward, though, but slowly and without looking in front of him. This causes him to bump into someone...

"Ouchywawa! Who the--"

"Sorry, Schwa here. --Korra!!"

Yes, Schwa has found his man.

"Ami is upset again. She's even talking. Go upstairs now!"

Korra heads for the stairs, but turns around after 10 steps. His right hand begins to glow silver as he charges electric energy inside of it.

"Wait a sec... A trap! I know you, Schwa! You think you can get away w--"

"Sshsshsshssh... No trap. Please trust me."

"Well..."

Meanwhile, with Ami and Nimue...

"I have an emotional bond with all life-forms that come close enough to me. That is just how my mind is. When Jansen died, I felt a part of myself extinguish, just like his spirit did. Ever since then I have felt empty inside, as if a portion of my soul has been seperated from the whole, and it usually takes me a long time to recover from that kind of an inner attack."

She squeezes Nimue hard. "But I can use the love you have shown me to repair my soul. Thank you." Her tears seem to be of a different variety now.

Grey slides ever so smoothly away from his posse and over to the vegetarian plates... Beautiful, simply beautiful. Not a scrap of meat among them.

Grey: "Veggies... Good for the health! And an empty stomach, too... I bet I could eat more than Kirby tonight..."

Of course, when the DJ breaks out the DeBurgh, Grey figures now's not the time, and turns his attention toward the graceful Ada and her less than professional groom.

"Ah, that's just adorable..."

Though the specific song was unfamiliar to him, Callean was struck by pangs of loneliness as he witnessed his friends sharing a slow dance in the center of the floor. His own partner, a girl of 20 years to his 22, was currently occupied by the everyday goings-on of the guild they both shared membership in; though etiquette might dictate a wedding guest bring his significant other, High Commander Igas Demetrius could not spare a single body at present and, regrettingly, requested her abstinence from the event.

Nonetheless, Callean was determined to enjoy himself, if only to satisfy the friends who graciously invited him. He accepts a plate of food from a waiter and, passing it to the person at his right, receives another. Eventually, after the myriad interesting faces at the table each receive the main course, the knight is able to claim one for himself.

Jin looks at his brother Trunxy as the music comes on with a creepy grin on his face.

Trunxy: Yea.... half vampire ninjas don't really dance...

Jin ventures onto the dancefloor. With his cream colored suit and fairly good looks and somewhat masculine, tall, slender physique, he seems to be quite the man. He just needs a derby hat and a cane to complete the "smooth operator" look he has going for him.

Jin: Hmm... I've never danced before...or have I?

Nimue hugs Ami lovingly, happy to have helped her. She looks down at the girl with a smile, a usually rare sight to see from Nimue...

Nimue: "Just remember, if you ever wish to talk to me again, don't hesitate to ask...

Nimue and Ami's tender moment winds down just as Jarukoth and Ada finish thier dance together, and the guests applaud...

----------------------------------------------------------------

DJ: "Let's hear it for the bride and groom!"

Ada: "See? Nothing to it."

Jarukoth: "Yeah...that wasn't so bad."

The two walk off the dance floor together, as another one of the wedding party continues to wait...

Kari: "...Do they cut the cake NOW?"

Shino: "Huh? No...not yet."

Kari: "Ooooooh comeoncomeoncomeoncomeON!"

Kari remains a bit glum, until she sees Jin stride out onto the floor. Her face brightens up she gets an idea...

She eagerly runs past Jin, and onto the dance floor...


Kari: "Let's have...a DANCE CONTEST!"

Rob:

Shino: "Erm...wha?"

Kari: "Yeah! Get on the dance floor and show us your moves! Come on!"

Rob looks around a bit nervously. Shino just shrugs, and smiles a bit.

Rob: "Mmm...Nah. I don't think so..."

Shino: "Meh, I'll do it. Why not? At least I'll show Ada that she's not the only DiEn on our team who is willing to dance..."

Jarukoth catches wind of Shino's comment. His eyes follow Shino as he proceeds to the dance floor after Kari...

DJ: "By the way, if anyone has any requests, feel free to make them, and I'll play what music you want to dance to..."

Kari: "SHUT UP AND HIT THE MUSIC!"

DJ: "...okay."

[Current Song: Darude - Sandstorm]

As Kari begins dancing, Shino begins doing the robot...rather well. Kari is momentarily taken off guard by his sudden burst of rhythm.

Meanwhile, Jarukoth slowly gets a sly grin...


Jarukoth: "Ada...I think I just got some inspiration..."

Ada: "...Let 'em have it..."

Jarukoth leaps onto the dance floor with a rather large leap, and begins dancing wildly in a manner that can only be described as breakdancing mixed with some brazilian Capoeira.

After a series of dazzling flips, handstands, and midair spins, his motions with his hand, challenging all of his fellow dancers to attempt to outdo him...


Shino: "That's it. It's ON now..."

Janus maneuvers over to Grey through the crowds of onlookers, and whispers into his ear...

Janus: "If you'll kindly stop stuffing your face for a moment, you might note that everyone seems to be having a rather interesting looking dance contest. You gonna enter?"

Grey lifts his head from his feast, and takes note of the dancers, growing increasingly scared.

Grey: "I... do you think?"

Janus: "You want to?"

Grey: ".....no, not yet. Seems like it'd be a pretty shabby idea at this point."

Janus nods his head and turns away.

Janus: "As you wish. I'm gonna have some fun, myself."

Janus then takes a top hat out of the main pocket of Satchel, and places it on top of his head. He saunters over to the dance floor, and begins a rather interesting irish step-dance, using Satchel as a makeshift cane. Incorporating some caberet and vaudeville moves, as well as a few Michael Jackson-esque twists and turns (gotta hand it to the man, he was quite the dancer), Janus is soon cutting a rug with the best of them. Left and right he shifts in time with the techno, foot to foot, heel to toe, a twist, spin, split and up, and one, and two. It was difficult for him to keep up with Darude's famous mix, but he realized eventually that by separating it into 2/2 time and concentrating on the upbeats, he could actually get a few good steps in.

Along with Grey, Kirby and Nakase were secretly hiding out where the grub was at. Kirby wasn't too happy about the vast amounts of leafage, but he couldn't complain. Food's food.

He looked up and noticed the dancing. He then turned his head and stared at Nakase. Nakase noticed Kirby's gaze, and replied with a dull look. Kirby smiled.


Kirbynite: Ditto.

And with that, the two continued their journey for more and tastier food.

Although happy to see such people having fun, Jin feels forced off of the dancefloor as Jarukoth's friends have their friendly competition. Before sitting back down, he takes a quick glance at the other guests; mostly strangers to him, but not to Trunxy. At the corner of his eye he notices Callean. No longer does Jin feel lonely as he remembers the adventures he shared with Callean, Trunxy, Jarukoth, and other companions.

Jin: Hey! Er...Greetings, Callean!

Luke listened eagerly, all music was interesting to him, although he could only play a very limited amout with a harp and flute. Maya was more watching the dancers, seeing how they danced. She couldn't feel no real power comming from it, and it looked very odd, but people enjoyed it.

Stacice: "Hey, you wanna dance Dracoon?"

Dracoon: "..."

Stacice: "I'm serious... You do know how to dance, it can't be that hard for you."

Dracoon just sat there thinking for a second.

Dracoon: "No."

Stacice: "What, why not?"

Dracoon: "To dance, you have to feel a beat, to feel a beat, you have to like music."

Stacice glared at Dracoon for a second, but he didn't look back.

Suddenly, Dracoon has a powerful feeling that he will die if he doesn't dance.

Schwa is about 10 feet away, hiding behind a corner, using powerful amounts of Psi to create that feeling in Dracoon. "Hehe, I love messin' with his mind," Schwa thinks. "Or is it even working? It better!"

Meanwhile, Ami gets up after talking with Nimue.
"They are dancing. Maybe I should. Do you believe in me?" she askes her.

That's when Korra arrives.
"Ami! My God, I am SO happy to see you! You like, disappeared!" He then notices something different about Ami. "Oh geez, your crystal is purple. That means... OhmyGod, that means somebody died!!!" Korra suddenly goes into panic. "All is not well in the chapel of the Arena! Be afraid!" Then he notices-- "Nimue!" and forgets all about being panicked. "Hi there, Nimue! Thanks for finding Ami for me! Long time no see! Hey, uh... did somebody die? Sorry if it sounds rude, but Ami's crystal is purple and that means she's repairing a damaged soul. That only happens when somebody close enough to her dies."

While Korra is talking with Nimue, Ami secretly sneaks behind Korra and toward the dance floor...

Dracoon stares at Schwa, giving off the strong impression that "If you keep doing this, I will take you out back and blow the shit out of you". Dracoon turned away, and seemed rather uneffected by Schwa's little attempt. Having a mind basically run on a highly advanced CPU, it had the advantages of being hard to mess with.

Tough Vincent had disappeared Daiel was definitely still there. Running from table to table he would eat until people around him started to point and whisper. While he was doing this he caught random things on fire...small things like...food, flower buds and dresses...no one would notice. He would start it and leave. The flame would usually die out in a second or two and though no one would notice for a while it would sure give the servants cleaning up something to wonder and gossip about.

Suddenly he noticed Grey.

Daiel: I wonder if he realized that the table he's at has no meat?

So naturally not realizing what he was doing Daiel grabbed a platter carrying a delicious turkey and made his way to Grey's sid to offer him some.

Grey noticed the plateful of turkey, and grinned at Daiel. He held his hand up to the guest in a stopping motion, and addressed him politely.

Grey: "Ha, no thanks, man. I don't do the whole "meat" thing. Bad for my health, you see. Eating lots of vegetables and getting my iron and protein elsewhere helps me stay trim. But thanks for the offer, since this IS a special occasion, I might take you up on it later on."

That said, he then dug into a massive plate of grape tomatoes and continued eating.

With Kalar and Garro socializing at the open bar, and Grey completely immersed in gorging himself on formerly living plants, Janus was left alone on the dance floor, surrounded by the competitors. In fact, everyone seemed to be representing in some way, save for one person...


Janus: "Excuse me, Mr. Psychic, but I think before you start messing with other people's heads..."

Janus had appeared in the blink of an eye behind Schwa, knowing full well what his buddy was trying to do. He was making it pretty obvious, with the whole "powerful amounts of Psi" thing.

".... You should try what you're advertising!"

Hooking Satchel around Schwa's waist, Janus swings him onto the dance floor, and releases him, plunging him into the exact center of the crowd of dancers.

"Come on, Prince, let's see what you can do!"

Maya turned to Luke after Schwa was thrown into the middle of the dance floor.

Maya: "Should we help them?"

Luke: "No..."

Maya: "Aww, come on, he's a nice guy, just doesn't know where his social limits are."

Luke: "Lets see how well he does, if he bombs, you can jump in and help him."

Maya: "Ok, I'm going to chose when to jump in though."

Luke: "Fine..."

Kirby: You mean there's a table with meat?

Kirby, with a mouth full of a foliage, looks to the side. His eyes widen as he gazes on the bountiful stacks of heart clogging goodness. He swallows his food, and then nudges Nakase. He points over at the other table. In a matter of seconds, Grey was left all alone in his veggie table.

Grey was not completely alone however, for Daiel had passed the platter of turkey off to some one passing by and begun to take his pick from the green goodness. Soon he had a plate of mostly green peppers spotted with some other delicious vegetables which he was eating without a thought to the lack of meat. This Grey was interesting, but the only way to be able to trust someone was to get in their mind set. Short of a battle eating similar things was one of the best ways.

Daiel: Nice wedding. I hope the cake will be as good as the rest of the wedding. If not I may just stay here and eat what is already in front of me.

It seemed like a random comment, though the only person standing around was Grey, he could be addressing any one.

Nimue: "Yes, I'm afraid someone did die. However, it was only another DiEn who attempted to stop Jarukoth and Ada's wedding. It may have been shocking, but at least it wasn't someone who Ami knew closer than that..."

As for the girl, Nimue turns to her, smiling again. Her remark was charmingly innocent, as usual...

Nimue: "Ami, do what feels right. It's not about skill, it's about fun and merriment..."

"...Though at this point, it seems as though a drunken monkey could outdance those fools..."

Looking at the dance floor, most would be inclined to agree with her. Thirty minutes have passed since the competition started, and the competitors are beginning to run out of steam. Jarukoth is fit enough to continue, but is running out of dance moves. Shino has the moves, but is beginning to tire. And the always spunky Kari has simply been doing the same moves for the past twenty minutes...

Jarukoth: "Getting...tired yet...Shino?"

Shino: "Heh...no...way..."

Kari: "Wheeee..!"

Ada, still watching from the sidelines, realizes there is only one way to stop the madness. She makes her way to the DJ, handing him a small notecard. He reads it, and quickly stop the music, and raises the lights...

DJ: "Okay, everyone! Now it's time for the Bride and Groom to cut thier Wedding Cake!"

Shino: "Phew...thank you..."

Shino collapses on the dance floor, falling flat on his face.

Kari: "FINALLY! YAAY CAKE!"

A pair of waiters walk out of the kitchen with the massive white wedding cake, complete with mini plastic bride and goom, and places it on the previously empty table.

Jarukoth walks up to the wedding cake, calmly takes out his katana, raises it over his head, and...


Ada: "HOLD IT!"

Ada puts her hand in front of the blade's path, blocking the sword's path...

Ada: "Too big. Think. Smaller."

Jarukoth: "Smaller?"

Ada: "Yes. Smaller."

Jarukoth just shrugs, and places his katana down on the table. He then reaches into his coat pocket, pulling out a wakizashi, and then shows it to Ada, as if to get her approval...

Ada: "...A little more..."

He puts the second sword down, and looks around. He spots a cake knife on a nearby table, which he promptly takes and shows Ada...

Ada: "Better."

Satisfied with the decision, Jarukoth fianlly cuts a slice of the cake, putting it on a plate. He then gives his wife the first bite...

Ada: "Mmm...is that chocoate mousse on the inside?"

Ada gives Jarukoth a bite.

Jarukoth: "Hmm...tastes like it."

"Now, I guess it's time to serve it to everyone else..."

Ada: "Okay...now don't do anything stupid..."

Jarukoth: "Don't worry..."

"Kenjutsu - Kogetsu Zan!"
[Crecent Moon Slash]


Ada cringes as Jarukoth leaps over the cake, making several quick slashes in succession before landing on the other side of the beautifully decorated dessert.

To everyone's surprise, the cake is cut into neat, even pieces. Neither the cake or the table seem harmed...


Ada: "Oh...okay then..."

Jarukoth:
