Post by Caedmon MacFeorais on May 23, 2021 23:25:09 GMT
Caedmon had decided not to join the family back in Ireland and detoured to Atlantis a day early. He was glad he did when he saw everyone singing and dancing, and he moved quickly to the stage just after his arrival. That was until he started to see all the lines connecting everyone under that dome.
Caed had been gifted, although he did not see it as a gift at the moment, with the ability to see the various connections between people. When everything was grand, like it was for the most part now, he felt wonderful. The love was strong between so many because of the wedding that it tended to "drown out" any hurts or concerns like his sister Dana's final step back from Pete Wisdom or his sister Hayley's despair at the still missing Alucard.
John Constantine handed Caedmon an empty glass and a bottle of faerie wine before the next song started up. "Long time, Caed. Where's the rest of them?"
"Arriving tomorrow," Caed sighed as he poured himself a glass of wine. "With some demented wedding gifts, I am sure."
"Oh no! Not the damned cauldron again!" John snorted as Caedmon rolled his eyes. "I remember that wedding," John added as he checked the strings on Kari's violin. "We all damned near died. It's no wonder your family hates the name Stark. Stupid lot of them. And to think people reading that book and watching the telly think it isn't more than fiction! Who could make that mess up?"
Caedmon shook his head as he waited for Roslea to pick the next tune. "John, I never want to think of that wedding again," he sighed as he sat before the keyboard and waited for the signal to start up again.

Sean found himself a nice tree to sit down under and began to fix up his pipe to smoke. He was
feeling a lot better about things. It was hard at first returning from the dead to a world that had
changed a lot. His students were all grown up and his daughter was very silent about some of the
stuff she had went through since he was gone. He heard a little bit but not too much detail. Sean
tried to reach out to her but she would not talk about it. Besides that his Gen-X kids were all doing
well and grown up to be amazing and he was glad to be apart of Monet and Jubilee's wedding. They
were as much his kids too. For the most of it all Sean found himself in a good place and wondered
what the future held for him.. A member of the team?. Back to teaching?. He did not know at this
point but he was just thankful to still be around..

OOC: I apologize for the iffy quality of the video at the start (after the ad screen).
"No, a slow one...for the lovers..." Roslea said as she looked back at family and friends before she finally made up her mind. "Ghost of a Rose."
The group started up again as Roslea started to sing...
The valley green was so serene
In the middle ran a stream so blue
A maiden fair in despair
Once had met her true love there and she told him
She would say
"Promise me, when you see
A white rose you'll think of me
I love you so never let go
I will be your ghost of a rose"

"Don't bother!" Emma snapped at Shaw as she put her glass down as she knew that this wasgoing to set Sebastian off.."I have already picked our Red Queen and the Captain of our fleet and she just accepted myoffer just now." Emma said as Kitty reached out with her mind to Emma with a simple (Yes).."What!?" Spouted Shaw.. Why do you think your the one to make this decision without talking
to me!" Yelled Shaw.."Michael and I already discussed it so you would have been out voted anyway!" Emma said toSebastian to Michael Priest's surprised because Emma did not talk to him about it and took himby surprise but he did not show it.."Michael would you like to dance I think Shaw's company is not going to be to healthy for mymental well being.. I want to leave this table before he makes a fool of himself with his temper!"Emma said as Priest took her hand and hurried with her to the dance floor just as Shaw beganto use colorful language towards her.."Thank you Michael." Michael chuckled as he took Emma to the dance floor. "First, my apologies. My son Finn, who is wandering the dome with his sister Faith, reminded me that Sam Guthrie and Roberto DaCosta are Avengers now. Roberto's business acumen will be more to Stark's liking, I'm sure, and it should calm the waters a tad. Now, as to your choice for Red Queen..."
Priest looked at Kitty dancing with Sam Witwicky above the dance floor and nodded his approval to Emma. "I would have backed you on that one without question. Sebastian's bellowing would not have changed my mind. Kitty is the sort of highly intelligent individual Hellfire needs in our ranks. And with Jack Sparrow serving as a consultant of sorts, I am sure Kitty will have no trouble getting her crew set to rights. Or do you have other plans for Captain Sparrow?"
As another song started, Michael stayed with Emma on the dance floor. "Would you like to join the others up there, or are you fine here?"
and let herself go with the music.
"Thank you for backing me up and I know you would approve. I think Kitty is our future and I think she is the
best choice. As for Sparrow I think he would do well being apart of her crew. He would do well under her hand
and she would do well with his skill set. I am comfortable with my court.. My brother as White Bishop and Calisto
as my Knight.. How about you?.. How are you feeling about our new venture and your court?" |

"And these are the songs my grandmother sang sometimes," Cair said as she danced with Logan. "And yeah, it still freaks me out. They got passed down forever in my family, because, and I am afraid to even think about this, one of mine might have been at that damned battle Omnia talked about. I hate to think one of mine was in Siofra's crew, but it's possible. That means one thing. Maybe I am a mutant after all? My little friend here," she said as she pointed to her wrist, "might have hidden me for some damned reason. I just don't want to think about it..."
Cair put her head on Logan's shoulder as they continued to dance. "I'll talk to Hank. Later in the week. I promise. For now I just want to keep dancing," she said as she reached up and kissed Logan. "Thanks for being my rock."

"Oh! This is wonderful!" Meggan said to Brian as they danced with Maggie near Saber and Betsy. "I'm just surprised they haven't sung Tír na nÓg yet. Maybe another night? I can only hope we have more nights like this!"
"Mummy, you said that one was in Irish, so maybe they won't because not everyone knows that?" Maggie asked as she held onto both her parents as they danced.
"You are so very smart, Maggie. I bet that's exactly why they haven't sung it yet," Meggan replied as she smiled at her daughter. "I am guessing this might be the last song of the night, though. Tomorrow is going to be a very big day for everyone. I am sure the weddings and celebration will be magnificent."
Meggan glanced down at Omnia and smiled at her. She would have to talk to her tomorrow once everyone had gathered for the weddings. "Betsy, Saber, I am so glad we came tonight!" she said to her in-laws as they all floated above the dance floor.

Sarah had mostly been an observer watching everyone else when a voice came up from behind
"Care to dance?" As Sarah turned Rain. The older of the two Pryor sisters was standing there with a smile
She thought for a moment before a smile came to the dark haired woman's face. "Why the hell not....."

As Roslea kept dancing she couldn't help but notice Jack was staying out of the festivities for the moment.
("Now....What does a lady have to do to ask for a partner on the dance floor?") She reached out to Jack Sparrow with a tease.

"Jeeze, don't I know that feeling." Liam said, shaking his head. "Funny story, that. Actually, it's really not. My sister and I got kidnapped by some bad guys and these guys saved us, and a ton of other mutants. We didn't really have much to go back to so we decided to hang here and see what came of it. Not that I think I will ever be of any real use, but hey,maybe they need a librarian." "Well that sounds pretty useful in a fight, as long as you know, there arent any bombs or a warehouse full of old crates with questionable contents." He slid into the seat across from her, leaning closetlo be heard over the music and revelry. "I... well I pull things out of books. I dont have a very good grasp of it yet, so some wierd things have happened, like spending a week trying to figure out how to put a talking cat back into the book it came from." |

“I think that I over ate and over drank!” Roberto said as he was drunk when Jordan and him
joined the others on what was now a dance area in front of the stage..
“I hope that I am not making a fool of myself!. I can barley feel my feet!” He laughed.. "You are doing fine, babe," Jordan said as she kept dancing with Berto. "I am not too steady myself, but I am having a blast!"
Berto spun Jordan around, and she tried very hard not to bump into anyone as they danced. "This is the one time I wish I had the power not to get too drunk! This wine is amazing!"
Jordan overheard Michael Priest mentioning Berto, Sam and their status as Avengers, but he seemed to drop that pretty fast. Jordan was very happy about that.
"Should we try to head out soon, babe? Big day tomorrow for everyone. I can't wait to hear what the Professor is going to announce tomorrow."

Sam looked up at everyone dancing in the air and then looked back at Kitty. Bumblebee gave him a thumbs up sign, and Sam chuckled a bit. "I forget you can do cool stuff like that with your powers, Kitty. That would be fantastic!"
Before they took to the air, Sam realized that both Piotr and Pete Wisdom were nearby. Mr. Super Strong and Mr. Super Spy. ((How in the heck did I end up here with Kitty and not one of them? Were they freaking stupid?)) he thought as he smiled at Kitty. "You know, you are absolutely amazing!" he said as he finally got up the courage to give Kitty a kiss. ((And I bet I have doomed myself with that move)) he thought as he almost waited for her to recoil after what was likely a clumsy smooch at best.
"Life is full of surprises Sam you just have to take chances.. I am glad to be in this moment with you.."
She said before kissing him again.. "I feel like everything is changing and I am a little scared but also
excited.. I am excited for us and I am excited for.." Kitty paused for a moment as Sam saw something
in Kitty's eyes..
"I have a confession.. I know a lot more about what the Professor is going to say tomorrow.. I know
because Emma had taken me aside and told me because she gave me an offer.. Something I can not
talk about tonight but will tomorrow.. But the decision I need to make is a big one and I thought very
hard and I am going to do it.. It's going to be life changing.. Tomorrow I want to talk to you more about
it because I want you to join me on this.. Journey of sorts.. Sorry for sounding cryptic.. Kitty actually taking any sort of offer from Emma Frost made Sam do a double take. They were not known to be the best of friends among the X-Men, but Emma was also not one to pass up a good person for the right job.
"I know. Super secret stuff. I get it," Sam said as he turned to look back at Emma for a minute. Sebastian Shaw looked like he was going to explode. "And I think old Seb there is not too happy about what Emma told him. Hoo boy. That is going to get very interesting very fast."
Sam thought about the little Kitty told him. "Hey, if you think I'm the right person for the job, I'd be honored to go along on whatever this journey is. What about my big yellow buddy over there? He's his own bot, but I'd like him to be considered for whatever is coming our way. He's more than just a flashy sports car."

As Roslea kept dancing she couldn't help but notice Jack was staying out of the festivities for the moment. ("Now....What does a lady have to do to ask for a partner on the dance floor?") She reached out to Jack Sparrow with a tease. "Now how am I supposed to get up there?" Jack asked as he looked up at Rose as she danced high above him. "Remember, I have no wings to fly, and I do not have any magical doodad to get me there."
"Oy!" John yelled from the stage. "Jacko! Need a lift?" he shouted as he waved his hand and lifted the pirate into the air. "Don't say I never lend a hand, you old git."
"I still have no idea why Kari keeps that man around," Jack scoffed as he turned and bowed to Rose. "Then again, I am not sure why I am allowed to hang around either!"
Jack smiled as he took Rose's hand and twirled her in the air. "I am sorry Emma kept me away so long. All will be discussed tomorrow, but it looks like I will be staying around once more. Does that meet with your approval?" he said with a very wide grin as he continued to dance with Rose.

"Oh my sweet pirate." Rose responded before bringing a hand up gently to his cheek " You already know the answer to that. She said giving him a kiss on the cheek as they danced. |

Ray wasn't too surprised when he noticed someone walking in his direction. He left everyone in the middle of things and it was clear how he felt about the way nothing really seemed to change that much since he retired. He didn't want to be be bothered, but be prepared for someone to come up and ask him a million questions about why he walked away, and was surprised and happy when it didn't. He looked up as Mealla said her greeting and went off into her own space. He could feel that she was familiar, but he couldn't exactly place it. Everyone has an energy and psi signature, and relatives were all close enough to be recognizable. But he didn't care enough to try to narrow it down. Wasn't like either one of them wanted to be bothered much, especially by those having their fun. "Hey," he replied to her. It wasn't too much longer that someone else came over. Ray didn't recognize the guy, but he seemed new. "Parties I'm fine with," he quickly said back to Dylan, "I'm not one for stupid decisions and sanitizing history. I was better off partying in New York."If he didn't already promise Victor and Santo that'd he stick around, and if he wasn't counting on seeing his sister tomorrow, Ray probably would've gone back. He didn't know how he was going to make it from the bottom of the ocean to New York City, but he'd figure it out. Dylan took a second to mull over the man's words before giving him his most disarming smile. "I don't party much myself. I've never seem to have the time." He took a sip of his drink that appeared way bigger than it was, it was a lot easier to gather information when the person you questioned underestimated your awareness. Dylan had already learned of this man had some connection to New York and was obviously upset about this gathering. What Dylan needed to know was how upset. "I flunked history in school. You mind tutoring me a little?" |

Hayley was not quite as free of spirit as Sydney and Claire were, but that second glass of wine had her feeling no pain as she danced in the air above the stage area. "When did Caed sneak in?" she asked as she waved at her brother down below. "I must not be paying attention too well if I missed my own brother on the stage."
"How many brothers do you have here tonight anyway?" Sydney giggled as she squinted and looked around the dome. "You know, if we were smart, we could auction off dates with the single ones. For charity, of course!"
"Would anyone want to go on a date with any of my brothers?" Hayley mused as she thought about the lot of them. "Then again, some of them have been working the room tonight, so to speak. Caed and Cormac are still unattached, but Cormac can be too gruff. I am sure Rory would get a lot of interest, and Donal..."
"Thinks he's a lady's man. Please. An auction would be tailor made for him!" Sydney added as she kept dancing. "Think we could talk anyone into an event like that? Claire, would you be interested in bidding on beefy magical men? For charity, of course!" she reiterated as she drank a bit more wine. "OK, maybe I better quit with this stuff for now."
