=========== “Meetings and Receptions” Con’t from Kim’s “Commander Davidson vs. Commander Rennerman” =========== Location: EARTH (St. Paul, Minnesota, United States of America) Stardate: 2422 [2.7] 0322.0102 Scene: Williamson Residence -> St. Paul streets Catherine pulled at one of her sleeves nervously as she eyed the door behind which her husband was getting into his tuxedo. A few moments later Daniel emerged from the door looking far more refreshed then he had that morning and even had a smile for Catherine when he saw her. “You look beautiful Cath,” he said, looking down at her chosen outfit. She was dressed in black slacks and a red top with a scoop neck and three quarter sleeves. She smiled shyly at him under the intense gaze and quickly gave him a hug. “I’m glad to see you’re feeling better,” she said, adding a peck on the cheek before Nancy and Marty entered the room in their Sunday best. “You both look quite dashing,” Nancy said. “Why did *I* have to dress up?” Marty complained, pulling at his tie uncomfortably. “I didn’t get married.” “You want me to show up to your wedding reception in jeans and a t-shirt?” Daniel asked. Marty digested that for a few moments in silence before grunting that his older brother had a point. Nancy shook her head. “Alright, enough chit-chat, let’s hit the road!” she said cheerfully. “I haven’t seen many of our relatives in a very long time.” As they exited the house and began walking down the road Daniel asked his mom how many relatives they had. “You’ll see,” was Nancy’s cryptic reply as they continued walking. ======== Location: USS PATRIOT Scene: Marine Deck DJ Samuels was looking at a PADD in front of him that displayed the blueprints of the latest improvement he was planning to make to the marine assault rifle. He paused slightly, feeling guilty because he’d promised both his exec and his commanding officer that he wouldn’t do any more of these without their permission. Still, this one was so easy to do that it was almost foolproof. Surely there was no way that this modification could go awry. “Excuse me,” a feminine sounding voice drew the marine from his concentration and made him quickly look up with apprehension. He relaxed when he saw that it wasn’t Maverick or Clarkson but rather a naval officer dressed in teal. “This is marine deck Ensign,” Samuels said, looking up at the woman from his chair. “Unless you’re the new liaison officer, I think you’re lost.” “I am lost,” the woman said. “I’ve never been on this specific class of ship before; I’m looking for counseling.” “Oh, no problem,” Samuels said cheerfully. He proceeded to give the woman directions and after thanking him she turned around and headed back the way she’d come. Samuels in turn attempted to take the power source out of the rifle and managed to succeed in causing a rather loud noise to reverberate through the deck. He dropped the rifle with a curse as it shocked him slightly and turned around to see that the noise had attracted the attention of the woman. “What happened?” she asked, her eyes drifting back and forth between the wrecked rifle and Samuels burnt hand. “A malfunction,” Samuels muttered painfully, looking down at the little pieces of wrecked rifle and then at the burn mark on his skin. “Oh man, I am so screwed when the boss sees this!” “I can help you clean it up,” the woman volunteered. “You can?” Samuels asked hopefully, looking over at her. She smiled at him. “Sure,” she said. “And if you’ve got a medkit I can treat that burn too.” “Yeah Dr. Clarkson keeps a bunch of those around,” Samuels said. “By the way, my name’s DJ Samuels.” “Nice to meet you,” the woman replied, shaking his uninjured hand. “My name’s Tam Niala.” =========== Location: EARTH (St. Paul, Minnesota, EARTH) Scene: Banquet Hall Catherine peeked through the door at all of the assembled guests and felt the butterflies in her stomach start to do somersaults. “I had no idea you had this many relatives,” she whispered to Daniel. “To be perfectly honest, neither did I,” Daniel whispered back as the two of them watched the assembled throng in absolute awe at its large size. There were easily over two hundred people in the room and considering both of them had been expecting a very small ceremony that number absolutely blew them away. Daniel glanced over at Catherine and noticed that she wore a very apprehensive look on her face. “Don’t worry,” he whispered, reaching out and giving her hand a squeeze. She glared at him. “Easy for you to say,” she said. “They *have* to like you.” Daniel chuckled before he turned around to face her. He gently rubbed the sides of her arms as he looked at her. “Just be yourself,” he said. “We’re not here to impress anyone, just to celebrate our marriage.” She still looked unconvinced and he tilted her chin up slightly so that he could look into her eyes. “Just be yourself,” he repeated. “The girl I fell in love with.” He leaned in and kissed her and just as they parted from the kiss they heard the speakers carry the voice of the MC for the day to them. [[Ladies and gentlemen of the Clarkson and Williamson families. It is my great honour and privilege to present to you for the first time the newly married couple of Daniel Clarkson and Catherine Sterling-Jade!]] There was a lot of applause and with one final look at each other for support the couple turned and strode into the room hand-in-hand. =========== NRPG: Just having a bit of fun with this; not every day I get to play around with a wedding reception for one of my characters =D Bethany -> Hope you didn’t mind me borrowing your character there. Samuels is an NPC character and is the marine version of the absent-minded inventor. I think so far he’s not been able to come up with a single improvement that’s worked! Feel free to have fun with the rest of that scene if you want =D ========== ========== V. Rahul Chandra <vrccan_at_gmail.com> Playing...
