"]

Upon leaving the altar area through the indicated exit after the nuptials, guests would be directed to the lavishly decorated gardens, marked by a series of stone blocks that lead towards the reception area.







The first thing guests would pass would be the fountain surrounded by a lower level dance floor. To the left of this area would be the ice bar, designed elegantly to be resting on the backs of three serpentine dragons. All manner of alcohol would be served here and would be served up by an acolyte of Eros or Aphrodite.











Passing this, on the right hand side of the dance floor would be the tables, translucent black cloth and hung with dimly lit lights overhead. All of the tables would be surrounded by five chairs, covered in lovely gold flatware, a gold time piece with white lillies at the center all atop a fine, white cotton table cloth.

From here, the guests would be able to see the head table, covered in flowers and opulence. The seating here would just be for the family of the Earth Dragon and his Lioness; Buck, Maria, Kiyr and Raikotsu. Beside their table would be the wedding cake, waiting and ready to be cut.

The Leon's would have their own table nearer to the buffet, where acolytes of Dionysus would work to feed the tireless appetite of the Lightning Dragon and his clones.







The buffet table would be just outside the covered seating area, enveloping the far edge of one of the pools. The food atop would be MOST decadent and would be served by the guests themselves according to what their preferences were; all tastes would be provided for and taken into account.

And thus, the reception would begin....

...AFTER THE GUESTS LEFT THEIR GIFT AT THE GIFT TABLE BESIDE THE FOUNTAIN.

[Yachiru]

FOOD!!!!!

Yachiru dived towards the sweets, aiming for the one that looked the most delicious. after she gave he proper wrapped present to the guards.

[Mako]

Mako arrived shortly after Yachiru showing up in dess black as usual, he didn't really know why he was there, maybe just for formality purposes but he was there nonetheless. after he dropped his present off with the guards who seemed to be angry at the fact that they were even there.

[Saburo WarHazzard]

Saburo was dressed in his normal tan coat with his tan hat, he heard there was free food and a peace among the peoples for the purpose of this wedding so he was there. after he dropped his present off with the oh so polite guards.

[Malcomb Warhazzard]

Steel showed up after saburo slowly walking in observing everyone else as he walked in after he dropped off his present by the gate guards. This was not his typical scene but he did not want to make mathew mad again.

[Kyrie Blaze]

After briefly slipping away from the wedding party, Kyrie detoured to grab her leather-bound music book[/color]. When she rejoined the reception, she immediately made a barefoot - just the same as she had been for the wedding - beeline for the piano. She was still in the same dress[/color], and white sash wound three times around her waist--nor had she changed her hair[/color], as there was no point.

...and aside from that, it had been a long time since she'd gotten to be pretty.

Upon reaching it, she set the tome upon the top, but left it closed for the moment. The blonde bowed her head ever-so-slightly and slowly, gently, passed her hand over the gleaming keys and frame. It was nice to see that there were other in tact pianos, that Levi's place wasn't the only location that appreciated music. And instruments. She slid onto the bench, allowing her sash to trail against the ground behind her instead of being caught beneath herself.

Now, she could hopefully keep herself busy for the rest of the party. [/font]

[David B.]

David would once again have offered his arm to Mitsuki after the wedding, making his way to the reception without much ado- after all, the Kraken had already placed his gift over on the correct table. He would smile and look around, speaking to Mitsuki quietly.

"They sure went all out. It's gorgeous."

He would look for an usher who would show them to their table, smiling as he noticed their place cards.. His eyes would snag on the nametags of the other people at the table, and he would stare at them before smiling. Then laughing. Oh, this HAD to have been Bastilles idea, that cruel bitch. He would pull out Mitsuki's chair so she could sit (Kuz he was a gentleman like that) before he would take his own seat and gesture at the names, speaking to Mitsuki again in a hushed voice.

"Seems we get to dine with the dictator of the century."

[Mitsuki Park]

Her heels clicked softly against the marble floors as she and David walked into the reception. She could only silently nod, agreeing to his words about how they had gone all out. Truly, this was the wedding of the year. Her eyes also scanned the name placers on the table they were to sit at, and her grip against David would tighten. To say that Mitsuki was disturbed that the bride and groom would invite the man that destroyed more than half the world to their wedding, and to think that this man actually came... But if anything, Mitsuki had perfected the poker face. The only reason David would know she was bothered would be because of her grip.

Just to reiterate her attire (for those who weren't at the ceremony, because I [the narrator] want to show off her dress~): She wore a coral hi-low dress, a brown belt looped around her waist and 3" heels (as shown in picture). Her dark brown, nearly black hair was done in light waves- the result of sleeping with her hair in a bun. She felt less out of place at the reception, with all the colors splashed across the room.

She took her seat at the table, quietly thanking David for pulling out her seat.

"Perfect. I always wanted to dine with the man who killed my daughter."

She would whisper back.

Mm. She was eager to see...how this night would turn out.

[Lucien DeChain]

Lucien looked around at all the sights, and the sounds, and then tried to find someone he knew and liked. Again, he spotted Delilah, and saw an empty seat beside her. Leaping into the chair, he grinned and greeted her and the other residents of the table, who just happened to be some people he knew as well...........................................................

And then there was commas. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[David B.]

David would look up to Mitsuki's face as she clinched a little tighter to his arm. He would reach up with his free arm and, returning the favor of comfort she had given him earlier, would rub her hand gently before patting it once or twice with a sad smile.

"I don't think they knew you would be with me. Bastille loves to sorta...well, piss me off anyway she can. Don't worry- i'm sure Matt has a good reason for inviting the guy."

He would watch her a moment longer.

"I am sorry, still. If you'd like, I can request a different table."

[Kazuya Hikari]

After leaving the altar area with the rest of the wedding party, Kazuya, still dressed in the same suit, badass shades and all, would make his way to the reception area with Kaori in his arms, his baby daughter still dressed in the same white dress, looking at every single direction in absolute awe at all the decorations, especially the ice bar. Kazuya smiling slightly, while Kaori continued to look around at the entire area, he'd look for one of the waiters to show them to their table, which was the table David and Mitsuki were seated at.

And looking at the place cards, Sean Barker too. Well wasn't that fantastic. Sitting next to Mitsuki, Kaori would wave happily at Mitsuki as she sat in her daddy's lap for now, as she had her own seat and place card. Sharing a table with Sean Barker... this was going to be a very interesting night...

[Kyrie Blaze]

After a few minutes of quietly deciding what she would want to play first, Kyrie came to find her decision was easy.

Keeping the book closed, she set her hands gently upon the keys, resting her feet against the cool metal pedals. With a slow breath, she began to play[/color] from memory: it had been a long time, but, she remembered--how could she forget her favourite piece..?

Though once she got to the third movement, she played much lighter. The wedding reception didn't need loud and dramatic music, though the beautiful storm of emotion normally demanded to have a loud presence. For this, it could remain quieter. Perhaps she should skip it altogether? She wasn't sure--it felt wrong to leave such a beautiful piece unfinished.

But Kyrie had plenty of time to decide.

The reception didn't need the dramatic music, right..?

So she thought, despite some of the guests.

She let her the lines of her shoulders soften and kept her movements quiet. Technique and smooth subtlety over any flashy show. It helped to relax her, and she gave herself to the music while remaining watchful.[/font]

[Mitsuki Park]

She shook her head. She wasn't being sarcastic when she said she wanted to dine with him. Her eyes would brighten at the side of Kaori. Such conflicting emotions at this reception- on one hand, she adored Kazuya's daughter and was more than happy to find that they would be sharing a table. On the other hand, she was...a little protective of her. They would be in Barker's presence.

...well, the fact that Barker was here was a whole 'nother thing.

But her gaze was directed toward the girl who played piano beautifully. It was nostalgic, perhaps even a little sad, but soothing and relaxing; easing her nerves (if she even had any).

[Delilah A. Black]

--While the ceremony had been very heartwarming, Delilah was very much flustered by the amount of eyes that had been on her (or in her general area as most attention would have and should have been on the wedded couple) during the ceremony, the rather dressed up mechanic would walk herself away from the party and towards her table, sitting for a while and just...letting herself get used to the idea of wearing a dress.

Lucien came and sat beside her..and didn't HE look right dapper! She inclined her head toward him with a little smile.

"Brother Dechain. You're looking well."

[Kazuya Hikari]

Kaori giggling happily at Misuki, she would make grabby hand motions at her, as Kazuya would smile slightly before lifting Kaori up off his lap and holding her out to Mitsuki to take. Looking over at Kiyr, who was playing the piano, her playing was elegant and beautiful, and fit the atmosphere of the reception area.

Smiling happily at Mitsuki, Kaori would reach out and tug on the sleeve of her daddy's dress jacket, to get his attention, Kazuya looking over and down at her slightly surprised, before a small smile appeared on his face as Kaori looked up at Mitsuki.

"Mitsuki dress pretty!"
