[Voice] Backdated to Monday night of Week 32

[last_ofthe_jedi]

[There's some heavy breathing, fumbling and happy voices in the background, suggesting a rather exciting event just occurred. Luke can be heard laughing just before he speaks.]

She said yes!

[Using the public network for trivial things? Psh! Does it seem like Luke cares at the moment?]

((This is assuming that he told a few people about his plans ahead of time which I didn't bother to thread out because I wanted to keep it a surprise to a certain Kaylee-mun. :P))

You are getting one hell of a bachelor party.

[last_ofthe_jedi]

Oh, boy. Nothing too crazy.

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Hey, how often do we get the chance?

[last_ofthe_jedi]

I said not too crazy. Moderately crazy is fine. Encouraged, in fact.

Are you up for the job of best man? Because I think that's one of the main responsibilities.

[kettchmeifyoucan]

If the job involves throwing a moderately crazy booze up, I think I can handle it.

[Really, he'd be insulted if you picked anyone else. Since Han isn't here.]

[last_ofthe_jedi]

You're probably one of the few people here who can relax long enough to handle it.

[Luke's noticed that he, Kaylee, and Wes are really the only ones who arrived on Verdana with more grumbling resignation than despair or panic. Because prior experience. And because compared to Mayfield this place is a kriffing paradise.]

[kettchmeifyoucan]

You know me. Relaxed's always been a specialty.

[Plus, at this point, it's all old hat]

[knightoflight]

Yes to what?

[It sounds like good news but...]

[last_ofthe_jedi]

[Luke doesn't recognize this ID signature and hesitates a bit.]

Uh, I asked Kaylee to marry me.

[knightoflight]

Marry? [There's a delay while he looks that up, then his voice gets excited.]

That's wonderful! It is the best thing to happen in a place like this.

[last_ofthe_jedi]

[Well, Luke wouldn't go so far as to say that but he sounds grateful for the congratulations anyway.]

I hope it'll bring a positive light, anyway. This place could use a little more happiness.

[knightoflight]

It definitely could. It sounds like our conjunx endura. How do you celebrate the marrying?

[last_ofthe_jedi]

Well, where I come from there's usually a ceremony with a party afterwards. Most people invite their friends and family but some prefer small, intimate weddings.

And depending on what planet you're from there are different traditions that you might observe, like fighting a krayt dragon which is popular on my home planet. I-.. doubt I'll be partaking in that one, though.

Knowing Kaylee she'll want to invite everyone in the city and serve every kind of food and wear the biggest, froofiest dress she can find. It'll be fun either way.

[Luke's smile looks cheerful but a bit resigned, as if he'd be happy with one of those small, intimate ceremonies but knows that probably won't happen and isn't too upset about that.]

[knightoflight]

[He considers.] I don't think we have krayt dragons. Dinosaurs, yes, and Darwin, but I don't think you'd want to fight her.

This sounds wonderful. All of it. And perhaps we could start our own traditions here.

I met Mulan and she let me share in her memorial altar.

[last_ofthe_jedi]

I agree, I don't think I'd want to fight anything that I didn't have to. My order prefers to keep the peace whenever possible so fighting for entertainment is right out.

I'll ask around and see if anyone can offer some interesting traditions from their home lands. Do you know where I can find this Mulan?

video.

[fotlenke]

[ The daughter of the goddess of love detects something. ]

What is this woman who has said 'aye' to you?

[last_ofthe_jedi]

[It's evident that Luke has to think about this question before answering.]

She's a... mechanic? Or human?

[Because that's what you asked, right?]

[fotlenke]

And thus, the occasion?

[last_ofthe_jedi]

Uhm, right. That she said yes, that's the occasion.

I guess.

[He pauses and then blinks and shakes his head.]

I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you're asking.

[fotlenke]

To what did she say "aye"?

[last_ofthe_jedi]

Oh! Marriage. I asked her to marry me.

[fotlenke]

And she said "aye"! Oh! [ She jumps, mouth wide and laughing. ] Bless Freya and this bountiful day, for which love springs! Bless this man and his love and watch over their hearts as they enter sacred union.
