Hey there, you've reached... um... me. Yeah. Leave a message!

Well, that sounded smoother in my head... Damn it.

Comments

[secondhandsome]

[it is?] Pff, yeah, I'm great at plans. [YES LET'S SAY IT IS]

Uh, okay, I mean. It's gotta be possible, right? I've written plenty of scripts, it can't be that hard.

You know, in... in theory.

[a_sin_for_him]

I did just inherit an entire nightclub, I have something to talk about.

I don't know how to run a nightclub.

[secondhandsome]

Well, step one to owning any establishment is don't put it right next to a black hole. Which it isn't. So, from where I'm standing, you're totally nailing it.

[...what? Not helpful?]

But, hey, if you're going to talk about it on the network, it's gotta be possible to just slip it in there. You know, just sticking a "me and my husband" in there, like everyone should already know.

[a_sin_for_him]

I don't think that's a concern here, I've yet to notice any black holes in the entertainment district.

But yes, there's bound to be a way to drop it in as though it's common knowledge.

...do you think people will send us presents?

[secondhandsome]

Oh, there's always time. It wouldn't surprise me if one just showed up. There's probably some kind of black hole Pokémon.

[It's not the weirdest type.]

Huh...

Maybe if they feel embarrassed enough?

[a_sin_for_him]

There were those ones who tore reality open....

It's traditional, I know that much. When people get married, other people give them gifts. It seems silly, but I do like gifts.

[secondhandsome]

Yeah, see? Probably one of those.

Well, you could always say thank you for the gifts people sent, and then maybe some of them will feel bad for not sending any, and get on that.

[Of course, they have not gotten any gifts, on account of not announcing their marriage. Because why not add another level to this deception?]

[a_sin_for_him]

It honestly wouldn't surprise me at this point.

Hmm, that might be pushing it a bit too far. Though we did get nice things from the people at the hotel...

[secondhandsome]

Oh, absolutely it is. [honestly that one was a bit more joking anyway

...although--] You know, there's probably more places that have special deals for people on their honeymoon.

[exploiting capitalism - even pokecapitalism - is a-okay.]

[a_sin_for_him]

There'd have to be, wouldn't there? It's one of those things people make such a fuss over...

There's that luxury resort in the islands.

[secondhandsome]

Well, pfff, hey. Just seems like a shame to not let them give us stuff, if they really want to. What choice do we have, really?

[a_sin_for_him]

And traditionally the honeymoon does come after the marriage.

I've been to that resort, it's beautiful.

[secondhandsome]

True enough. We did it the wrong way around last time. We have to fix it. And an extra celebration never hurts.

We'll definitely go, then. Get some more free goodies out of it, with any luck.

[a_sin_for_him]

And this time it will be entirely honest.

I'm sure they have free perks for newlyweds. Isn't it strange, what a public spectacle society has made out of the whole thing? It seems so odd that the happiness or romantic state of two strangers should matter so much to so many.

[secondhandsome]

Well, for some of these places, it's probably just, you know, trying to get you to spend more in other places. But in general... yeah, it is kinda weird, huh? Even places like Pandora, weddings tend to be kind of a big deal.

[...Just with more gunfire.]

I guess it's probably nice? You know, being reminded about love and that sometimes things can actually end up pretty okay.

[a_sin_for_him]

It is a profitable business, from what I've seen. Everything's expensive for a wedding. Another reason to skip it all entirely. I'd rather have more helpful household appliances.

But I suppose there is that. It's nice when things work out in general.
