Log;


Charlie was married. Charlie McGee, the girl who couldn't get close to anyone back home for more reasons than she thought fair, found someone in the City to marry and that someone was, of all people, Merlin.

The ceremony itself had been nothing short of stunning, right in the center of Xanadu and even though she won't admit to it later (Except to Merlin because he had the best view of it), she teared up a few times during the ceremony. When it came time for vows, she was nervous, hands shaking slightly but when they were finally announced as husband and wife and Charlie could kiss Merlin, she suddenly felt so incredible about everything. All nervousness was gone and all she could feel was ridiculously happy.

Now at the reception, food and cake courtesy Rapunzel (And the dress, too), Charlie was busy speaking to guests and enjoying one of the most surreal moments of her life.


[ooc: there will be several threads to tag into in the comments, a pre-wedding one if anyone wants to say hello to charlie or merlin beforehand. a post-wedding one at the reception. and there will be one where guests can interrupt merlin and charlie trying to have a moment to themselves.]

Theo doesn't blame the poor guy.

"Sorry. I met the bride when the circus was in town and I saw the wedding, so I decided to crash."

[destinedtobeunpopular]

"Oh."

Yay, the circus. Merlin makes a very impressive grimace at that, but he quickly shoves the reminder to the back of his mind because this isn't the day for it. Far from it.

"Right. I see." His lips twitch just a little. "I guess you can stay."

[deadmanbusiness]

"Thank you," Theo says grinning. "Do you need help with the bow tie? They're a real bother."

From a pocket Jasper, the zombie rat, sticks its head out and twitches its nose before getting shoved back in. Weddings aren't appropriate places for zombie rats.

Merlin would accept the help, but he sees the rat and that gets him distracted because he saw there's something strange about it. So he curiously leans in towards that pocket.

"What was that?"

[deadmanbusiness]

Giving an internal sigh, Theo pulls out Jasper. The rat blinks at Merlin with one eyelid and red beady eyes. It's also got a gash in its side and is missing some tail. Other than that it's a perfectly normal looking rat.

"This is Jasper. It's my minion," he says. "Say hi Jasper."

Jasper says hi by stretching out to try and touch noses with Merlin.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Well, Merlin doesn't move away, so it probably manages. It is just a rat, despite its state, so what the hell.

"Hi, Jasper," he says, amused, and smiles before he glances up at Theo. "Your minion?"

[deadmanbusiness]

"It's a joke, really. Necromancers tend to have zombie minions. I made them -Jake is in my other pocket - and they do whatever I say, so they're like my minions."

Oh hai friendly person. Jasper will try and climb Merlin if allowed.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Definitely allowed. Merlin will even help along, before he finally straightens up.

"Necromancers?"

He tries not to show that word makes him a little wary. He's had very bad experiences with necromancy.
