Happy Mog's Day!

What's Mog's Day? Well, it's not surprising you haven't heard of it, since it isn't an Earth holiday. It's a fall celebration marking the end of the season, before moogles enter their annual hibernation. A simple drawing of a moogle (a white, vaguely koala-like animal with small bat wings) was included in the invitation. On arrival, guests will be asked to don a large red nose, out of respect for Mog. The hosts are exempt from this, given they're the ones throwing the party and all.

Want a tour of the house? The hosts are not familiar with the concept of a housewarming party, but that's essentially what this is, and any of them would probably show you around if you like. They've just moved, but there's no sign of boxes. Rather, the bookshelves and decor seem a little sparse, their belongings having migrated from a smaller space. You may catch glimpses of a large orange cat slinking around behind the furniture. He has not yet adjusted to his new surroundings, and all the strangers aren't helping.

A catered dinner is laid out on the dining room table. (They can cook, they just... didn't.) There's also a chocolate cake waiting in the kitchen for later. It's for Loki; Sephiroth doesn't really care about cake.

The nearby back door leads out into the yard, and the fire pit. Arranged on a table are some materials one might use to create a simple effigy of someone you particularly hate. There's also a bag of marshmallows, seemingly as an afterthought.

[ loki flushes. ]

[unkindled_madness]

[He lifts Loki's hand to give it a kiss.]

And my opinion is the one that matters.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he smiles. ]

You're quite right.

[unkindled_madness]

Besides, it was difficult to get you to discuss it at all.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki pokes his shoulder. ]

It was a very nervous topic for me. As you already know.

Still, I feel more people should say I'm marriage material.

[ even if he'd never believe them!! it's the principle that counts!! ]

[unkindled_madness]

I'm suggesting they might think so, but kept it to themselves, considering your sensitivity.

[dothelokimotion]

[ hm. ]

Perhaps. Though not many people know that either.

[unkindled_madness]

You don't really let them.

[dothelokimotion]

[ there's a long pause at that. ]

No. I did give up on that. It was too tiring to try over and over in a new place, a new life.

[unkindled_madness]

But it is possible.

This is proof.

[dothelokimotion]

You think so?

[unkindled_madness]

Why wouldn't it be?

I had given up, before we met.

[dothelokimotion]

[ ah. loki squeezes his hand. ]

So had I, in a way.

[ sephiroth would remember the station.

this is proof. loki needed to untangle his fear. he's put it off for so long as it is. ]

[unkindled_madness]

And then we... tried, somehow.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he smiles at that. ]

We were both stubborn. We saw potential. We helped each other find a new way to live.

[unkindled_madness]

You wanted it for me, and I wanted it for you.

[dothelokimotion]

A perfect match.

[unkindled_madness]

It turns out there are such things.

[dothelokimotion]

Who would have thought?

[unkindled_madness]

Apparently neither of us.

I'm glad we were wrong.

[dothelokimotion]

Me too.

[unkindled_madness]

[He leans his forehead against Loki's for a moment.]

...so, what else would you imagine? For our wedding.

[dothelokimotion]

Mostly, I just picture the moment. When we say our oaths and the ribbon is wrapped around our hands. That it is witnessed and real.

[unkindled_madness]

You're referring to handfasting, yes?

[dothelokimotion]

Yes. That's how we normally do it.
