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.

[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.

[unkindled_madness]

It seems like a fine tradition.

[dothelokimotion]

So you're fine with that?

[unkindled_madness]

Is there some reason to expect I wouldn't be?

[dothelokimotion]

[ he shakes his head. ]

I didn't mean it like that. I was just curious if you had an opinion about it.

Or perhaps your own spin on handfasting you'd like to do.

[unkindled_madness]

I think it feels... appropriate, to us.

[dothelokimotion]

Mm.

I think so too.

[unkindled_madness]

...we refuse to let go of each other, after all.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he smiles. ]

It is more than just symbolic.

[unkindled_madness]

[He laces his fingers with Loki's.]

How long do our hands stay bound?

[dothelokimotion]

Until the oaths are finished and one performing the ceremony concludes that we are married.

[unkindled_madness]

Hmm.

I think we'll hold on longer anyway.

[dothelokimotion]

That suits me fine.

[unkindled_madness]

It's going to be a good day.

[dothelokimotion]

Our day.

[unkindled_madness]

That's what makes it good.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki chuckles. ]

I do not doubt that for a moment.
