The colors from the previous days were still holding, if maybe slightly more muted, Fandom's magic slowly fading but still managing to hang on for another day.

Seemed like a good omen as any for a wedding that Eliot still couldn't quite believe was happening.

Eliot's boat wasn't big enough for all their guests so they had "rented" (long story) a well-appointed yacht for the day. It was docked in the Port of Fandom, waiting for all the guests to board. Once the last person had crossed the gangplank, it sailed almost to the edge of the island, where blue water lapped with gray. Eliot's boat was already there, anchor down, Hardison in a tux, playing around with a sound system.

A few minutes to futz with mics and the speakers set up discreetly around the yacht came to life. "Testin'...Testin'..." Hardison murmured. Good. Everybody would be able to hear the ceremony on the second ship.

Looks like it was time to begin.

[TIME FOR A WEDDING! If you think you were invited, you were. Some OCD coming]

The happy thrupple had kind of been there for Sparkle through some big ugly. Had helped in a big way with the home in Toronto and done him a small world of good through the whole Carla... thing... and for those reasons alone, he was taking what might very well be the only normal Sunday of the whole month off in order to attend their wedding.

Because awww. Aww, you guys.

"Hey, Sparkle! Nice work yesterday!"

Look, you knew there was only one guy who'd wear this much red to a wedding. Dante didn't need to already be in front of you to identify himself, but he was on the move.

"Thanks," Sparkle laughed. "Nothing, like, exploded, so I'm calling it a win!"

Also, there had been an adequate amount of Pride-incidental eye-candy, so that also contributed to the win-factor, there.

"I dunno, a few controlled explosions might have livened things up," Dante mused, coming to a stop in front of him. "Pride light show, you know? Maybe cover the park in confetti or some shit."

"... Shit. Shit shit shit you're right, next year, confetti. Or I figure out who did the fireworks last year. There were fireworks last year, you know? But Starsmore gave me like fifteen seconds of notice, so it's kinda a miracle I managed to swing a ball pit and a slide."

So big. So rainbow.

"I'm pretty sure he held up two middle fingers and spun in a slow circle around the time the island turned into an underwater torture dome," Sparkle replied, shrugging. "I missed that week, thank fuck, but it had to be pretty bad to make a guy whose face is literally made of fire crack and take off like that."

"Mostly okay, with a side of quietly screaming forever?" Sparkle wrinkled his nose a bit and smiled wryly. "If I had half a brain in my head I'd be out of this place and not looking back, too. It's what all the cool kids are doing, right?"

"SPARKLE! Did you get some of the appetizers? And the chocolate?" Really, anything that didn't involve silverware, because Parker was wandering around saying hi to people, and that made silverware impossible. "Did you like the ceremony? That new pastor guy is very okay, isn't he?"

"I did, and I did!" And he'd left his backpack at home, so he wasn't even smuggling any out. Besides the stuff that fit in his pockets, anyway. He was resourceful, dammit. "The ceremony was great. Your entrance? Perfection. And oh my god, that new pastor guy seems like he knows what's up, maybe."

A beat.

"He's easy to look at, at least."

Sparkle did not really trust the clergy.

Please take all of the leftovers, Sparkle. They deserve a happy home in your stomach, where they'd be appreciated.

"Really? I practiced it, I was thinking no wires, but then I thought, what if we hit a wave and the boat bobbed and flipped me off the edge, so. And yeah, he did a good job, didn't he? Even if we aren't part of his religion or whatever, he was really nice about it. You have to call or text me if he adjusts okay to the Island," Parker added with a small pang. She was gonna miss Sparkle. "And come visit!"

Sparkle would be so happy to just grab a serving tray and load up, don't think he wouldn't.

"The wires were a good call," he replied, nodding sagely. "And yeah, I'll definitely keep you up to date about cute priesty guy, if I see him again. He's at the Wednesday stuff sometimes, so that might help."

He paused a moment, smiled faintly, and then held open his arms. Hug?

"Promise I'll visit. We can get into and right back out of shit together wherever you go, it'll be great."

whoisalicewhite: (antlers!)
From: [personal profile] whoisalicewhite
Yeah, okay. Hug. Special occasion and all.

Parker's hugs were all elbows and wrists, but still tight. "That sounds like a really great plan." She grinned. "And we should check up on the kids in Toronto on some trip soon."

"Oh my god, I desperately want to," Sparkle admitted, clinging for a moment-- he was used to elbows-and-wrists hugs. He'd grown up alongside a lot of people who weren't... huggy. "I, um. I was thinking of maybe trying to get my name cleared. Like. Going through all the motions and all."

He paused a moment, and added, "If I earn my freedom in court, maybe I'll get my sister back. Among other things."

Parker had been there. He thought maybe she'd get it.

"That would be so cool." Parker was bouncing on her toes. 'Other things' included the nephews and nieces, however many of them there were now. "We'd be happy to help, you know, if there was anything we can do." Admittedly, Sparkle had actually set some things on fire, but...

Sparkle nodded a little.

"Hernando told me to hire someone to look up precedent, because doing that myself was mostly just ending in hyperventilating, it was a great time," he admitted. "But... I mean, things are looking... maybe okay? There's still a chance I might get sentenced to jail time, but a lot of cases similar to mine are coming up community service."

Years of it, sure. But community service.

"Hey," Sparkle laughed, giving Eliot a grin and a nod, "I will never complain about three great people piggybacking on my rainbow. You're welcome."

He'd had nothing to do with that rainbow, but you know what? He didn't care. It was kind of perfect. And it had decided to stick around for the whole weekend, at that!

"I mean, overall...?" Sparkle chewed his lip a moment. "Pretty good, I think? Like, I've got Leto and Hernando, Atton's been doing regular visits, people have been asking me to design costumes for them, and the island has thus far been unsuccessful in its attempts to kill me this summer."

Thank god.

"I'm not sure which of those points I'm more excited about, at this point."

Sparkle nodded a little, thoughtfully.

"Yeah, I have your numbers," he replied, and then smiled crookedly. "But the stuff I might need your kind of help with, I'm probably not going to be leaping into while the island is doing the whole 'and this week you're gonna be living in radioactive wasteland hell' dance, you know? How long are you planning on being gone?"

Sparkle considered that. And then... nodded.

"Good," he decided. "I mean. Good. Those kids deserve you guys, and I don't need you to be right there on the island in order to ask for advice or anything anyway. Besides," he nodded over his shoulder, back toward the island at large, "this place isn't really good for anybody. Maybe short-term, but it's no place to start a family. Especially right now."
