There is a Cuthbert, sitting at the bar with dinner.

There is also a newly acquired leatherbound notebook in which things--mostly lists, from the look of it--are being written and occasionally scribbled out. Mostly in the High Speech, though he's also taking the opportunity for more practice writing English.

There is also a recycled entrance post, but shhh.

A sparkly veil! *Meg reiterates happily.*

[gonna_live]

"A very sparkly veil!"

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly beams.

"A sparkly veil that glows in the dark! I'm seeing neon pink, orange, yellow, very retro-80's feel. Oooh, we can spray him with Aquanet!"

[gonna_live]

"With what?"

[key-youth-bert.livejournal.com]

Cuthbert looks dubious. "Don't you girls think sparkles and ruffles might be going overboard?"

[shining-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami eyes him worriedly. "He may have a point ..."

[balletrat]

But this is his wedding! *Meg protests, horrified.* He'll have to remember it forever! There is no such thing as too much!

- he's just lucky we're not talking corsets.

Anthy glows with joy.

"Now we are."

[key-youth-bert.livejournal.com]

Cuthbert is mournful. "There you go again, implying I don't have a good enough figure on my own."

[balletrat]

Can I put my hands around your waist? Can Susan put her hands around your waist? No? Then your figure isn't good enough.

*Meg is firm.*

Besides, then Susan gets the fun of unlacing you!

[key-youth-bert.livejournal.com]

Cuthbert eyes her. "No, you can't, because I eat."

Oooh, burn.

[anthy-rosebride.livejournal.com]

"I eat," Anthy points out.

She's also animated by people who never quite got over the joy of stick figures, but Cuthbert doesn't know that.

[balletrat]

There, see? *Meg, who was floundering dangerously for a minute, seizes on this lifebelt.*

She eats.

"Yes, well, the whole sword thing probably had the side effect of giving you some weird Rose Bride metabolism."

[anthy-rosebride.livejournal.com]

"Well," Anthy says practically, "you're going to be the Silkflower Bride."

[key-youth-bert.livejournal.com]

"But silkflowers and swords are hardly the same thing. The effect has got to be different."

[anthy-rosebride.livejournal.com]

Anthy is serene like Kuan Yin.

"No."

[gonna_live]

"Hell no!"

[key-youth-bert.livejournal.com]

Cuthbert looks concerned. "But what if they clash with my gunbelts?"

[anthy-rosebride.livejournal.com]

"We dress up the gunbelts."

Duh.

[awesome_lilly]

"Lace," Lilly says firmly. "And lots of it. People will wonder if they're gunbelts or garterbelts by the time we're through."

[balletrat]

They could in fact double as both!

[key-youth-bert.livejournal.com]

"See, now there's ruffles and sparkles and lace?" Cuthbert shakes his head. "Sorry, kids. I've always been a bit of a minimalist at heart."

[anthy-rosebride.livejournal.com]

"This wedding is Susan's special day," Anthy says, with big reproachful eyes. "Surely you can't be that selfish."

[key-youth-bert.livejournal.com]

"I don't see Susan here encouraging ruffles." Cuthbert points out.

Ah, Bert. You with your logic.
