[Video ] An important announcement

[k2so]

[Cassian and Kay's house is often lively and, while Kay is trying to keep what is happening behind him mostly out of frame, Cassian and some pokemon can be spotted.]

Does anybody know a good blacksmith that can weld my wedding ring into place? [Kay raises his left hand and sure enough, there's a white gold ring around his finger.] It keeps falling off because my frame's too smooth and I don't want to lose it by accident.

[Any attempts at seriousness are ruined when there's a yelp, a shout of] Galantea! Get back here right now! [and then there's a Sylveon wearing a tiny tuxedo throwing herself at Kay smugly crowing Sylveon! Sylveon! Cassian appears a moment later, plucking her from Kay’s shoulder. If you look closely, you can see a matching wedding ring on Cassian’s hand, worn along with the gunmetal-grey ring made of Kay’s frame he’s been wearing since Christmas.]

That’s it, you’ve been wearing this tux since the wedding. Enough now. [For his troubles, he gets his cheek licked– slowly and slobbery and with great relish. He finally notices the phone in Kay’s hand.] If you’re going to announce it, you might as well tell them we’ll be unavailable for our honeymoon.

Awwww! That's so sweet! Congratulations you two!

Re: [Video]

[captain_by_the_book]

Thank you. It was a spontaneous decision.

Re: [Video]

[bigbadrose]

Not special prompted it?

Re: [Video]

[captain_by_the_book]

Well, yes. It was our one year anniversary, and the end of my time as Guardian. It just... was the right time to propose.

Re: [Video]

[bigbadrose]

THAT'S SO ROMANTIC! Ahhhh...

[Swoon!]

[BRB Having a Satou moment.]

[ Brain keysmash moment!

Why are you people all so rude, getting emotional when he doesn't know how to handle emotions! ]

Rose? [ In his defense, he sounds only slightly terrified. ]

Re: [Video]

[bigbadrose]

I'm okay!! [Waves a hand.]

[Which is the only thing in view. She's just gonna lay on the floor for a bit. Don't worry about it.]

Re: [Video]

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Why are people here so people-like?!

Somehow, spy school didn't prepare him for this! ]

If... you're sure.

Re: [Video]

[bigbadrose]

Yup!

[Pulls herself up so her eyes and hands are peeking over the desk like Kilroy, a reference Cassian sadly would not get.]

So where are you going on your honeymoon? Or is it secret?

Re: [Video]

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Oh! Hello there, Rose. He doesn't get the reference but it's endearing. ]

Secret... in a way, we don't know yet. We are considering some subarchways or exploring the towns but we haven't chosen yet.

[ They are also considering to squat in a nice mansion and poke around where they aren't supposed to poke. But can't tell people about that. ]

Re: [Video]

[bigbadrose]

[All the way up and fist in hands!] Go to Paris. It's super romantic. The Doctor took me. [HEADSHAKE!] Totally wrong century, again, he always does that. But try for 2000s, yeah? Do not go in the 1400s. I don't even know why someone would open an archway to then! [Waggles fingers.] Woot they have Notre Dame, but come on! No Louvre, no Eiffel Tower, no indoors plumbing. [Chews her bottom lip.] It's still romantic though. I'm not sure what century would be best for Kay2, and I know we don't have a gateway to then, but there's lots of art and music and the food and wine is fantastic.

We don't have a gateway to Venice, Italy, that wouldn't even MATTER the century, it's always romantic, and the one for London is rubbish. Don't bother. It's just to the Powell Estates where I grew up. London is so unromantic. It's too bad getting one set up to places we've only visited is so hard. Unstable, I expect. Otherwise I'd say Widow Wept and the Rose Nebula are the best.

Re: [Video]

[captain_by_the_book]

The Rose Nebula sounds nice. [ Yeah, trust the space guy to immediately jump onto that. ] Kay would enjoy that. But I'm going to look into Paris... if I'm not mistaken, that's where Grell and Marco spent their honeymoon. It might be possible to ask them.

We hadn't really considered earth cities all that deeply. They're so small. [ When you're used to urban centres being city planets, that is. ] But that sounds nice... even if I have no idea what these places? Buildings? These attractions you listed, what they are. [ But hey. Good wine and good food and it's romantic, with a chance of getting indoor plumbing if you swing it right. All he needs to know. ]

Re: [Video]

[bigbadrose]

It's gorgeous, yeah. And there's some good future places we went that Jack liked, but like I said, yeah?

[A small laugh.] Yeah, when you're used to a whole planet being one way, Earth is super confusing, innit? There's a world that's COMPLETELY an amusement park!! I really wanted to go, but I got stuck in Pete's Universe before I had a chance. Maybe if my own TARDIS ever grows up. Well, I said mine, but it's Meta's.

The Louvre is an art museum! The best on Earth! No joke. There's a huge rivalry between Brits and French, so trust me, I only say it because it's true. Notre Dame is a cathedral. Really famous architecture. Weird gargoyles. Not that fun, but I dunno if you're into castles and stuff? The Doctor is an absolute nerd for historical things like that. He was supposed to take me lava surfing... he took me to the first largest telescope on Earth instead. [Swirls a finger in a circle, clearly unenthused.] Woot. The Eiffel Tower is SUPER romantic though!

OH!!! RIGHT! New York City has a gateway too! I've never been, actually! I only went to -- New New New New New New New New New New New New New New -- I lost count, but fifteen News; York. [Crosses eyes and nods!] But the Statue of Liberty is a huge monument to American ideals by the same guy; Eiffel, who designed the Eiffel Tower!

New York is probably closer to what you're used to but still super ancient. Like Nova minus... 2000 years maybe? No, that can't be right. 500 years? Probably that. [Laughs and shakes her head.] You'd think I'd be better at time travel but ehhhh... There's a lot to keep track of. And I always let Jack and the Doctor handle it whenever I could.

Anyway, if you go with Paris, the Rheine river is really nice, especially in the 1700s, but even in the 2000s. Don't go in the 1400s. But the bridges and riverbanks are nice and there's all sorts of great cafes, even with the 1400s.

Re: [Video]

[captain_by_the_book]

[ A whole world that's an amusement park? Who would need so much amusement? That can't be healthy!

He listens attentively to her explanation of all these Earth places, trying to file it away for further consideration and just trying to get some mental picture of what these places look like. ]

No 1400s, they lack plumbing and important attractions. Noted. I don't think Kay would think it's very funny if I take him someplace that claims to be a city and has all the comforts of a camping trip.

You've given me a lot of information, I'm going to share all this with Kay. If we don't go now maybe we can visit Paris in the future. Even if it ends up being the 1400 Paris, I don't think we would mind so much if it's just for a day trip. If New York is anything like Nova Kay probably won't like it, he doesn't like being in Nova City.

Re: [Video]

[bigbadrose]

Did you know in the Doctor's universe, humans are the only species that go camping? That makes me giggle for some reason.

What doesn't he like about Nova? New York wouldn't treat him the way Nova does. Depending on the century. Early enough, between the 1900s and 2500s, they'd probably treat him the same as any human. A lot of people wander the city in costumes. It's a strange place.

Re: [Video]

[captain_by_the_book]

Oh. I had never thought about that, but they would assume it's a very advanced costume, wouldn't they?

[ Now that's worth some consideration. Worth testing, too, if he can convince Kay to give it a try. ]

He doesn't feel comfortable in Nova City, even with the rights robots have there nowadays it reminds him too much of the inequalities at home. He's also more vulnerable there. People who wish to do him harm will know exactly how to go about it with a robot, unlike in the other towns... and we do have a talent for running into trouble.

Re: [Video]

[k2so]

Rose, hi!!! And thanks. I'm happy to see so many people okay with this.

Re: [Video]

[bigbadrose]

Well, yeah! [Laughs.] Why wouldn't they be?

[k2so]

Because some people thinks I am an appliance.

[ Kay waves a hand. ]

Not like I care, specially not today.

[bigbadrose]

Then they're idiots.

I'll kick their shins. If L3 doesn't beat me to it.

[k2so]

We could do that, the 3 of use. Like these girls in that movie I saw once...Charlie's Angels?

[bigbadrose]

OH MAH GAWD ISN'T THAT MOVIE FANTASTIC?!?!?!

Me and my two best mates all claimed one each of 'em as us! Keisha was Lucy Liu, and Shareen was Charlize Theron.

[Pause.]

[....]

[SIDEGLANCE TSUN HUFF.] I know. I was the slutty one. I was kind of like that in real life too.

[k2so]

It was really cool. I liked all the jumping and kicking.

[ OH ROSE...it's okay, Kay ain't judging. ]

Nothing wrong with having fun!

I really liked Lucy Liu, can I be that one?

[bigbadrose]

Me too! The Doctor hates it, he says I'm too quick to violence already. But I think there's nothing wrong with a bit of fictional violence, yeah?

You are definitely Lucy Liu. And L3 can be Charlize Theron.

And I'll be the slutty one again. [SAID WITH PRIDE B)]

[k2so]

If it doesn't hurt anyone for real, then there's nothing wrong with it.

Yes, excellent. I'll let her know the next time I see her.

[Kay laugh and then nods at that.] Good!
