Who: Zacharias Smith, Eleanor Branstone & OPEN
When: 16th July
Where: The Strawberry Duck, Camden
What: The Rocky Horror Picture Wedding Reception
Rating: PG-13 for now
Status: Incomplete

The weather god had been in a most favourable mood, so the reception could take place in the backyard of the pub. Jason, the owner, had done his best to decorate everything to match the theme of the wedding and all in all it looked more like a costume party than a wedding. Which was good, at least in El's opinion. Had it been a prim and proper wedding she would've locked herself up in the bathroom by now, fighting an anxiety attack.

Of course her mother hadn't been impressed at all, while her rather amused father had promised El to keep her occupied, so she couldn't lecture her daughter any longer. (The poor woman had nearly fainted when she saw that her daughter had even dyed her hair red for the wedding). El, however, was more than satisfied because red hair was a must as she was dressed up as Columbia. With the right amount of alcohol it was even possible to forget all her fears and Zach really wasn't too bad. At least she could steal his clothes and boots. Now if only the wedding would last forever so she wouldn't have to face whatever came afterwards, that would be nice.

Once her glass had been refilled El flopped down in one of the chairs. Oh no, she definitely wasn't made for high heels.

The wedding was okay. Tracey had made sure to hide behind people to watch the going-ons, not wanting to see El until the reception. She was still very annoyed that her friend, her supposedly rebel friend, was giving in so easily. It felt like she was being betrayed! It had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that El would probably be closer to Zach now than she would. Absolutely nothing at all.

Pouting, and trying to navigate through people in her Magenta costume, Tracey decided it was time to confront El. "Good wedding, I suppose. You pull off Columbia rather well."

Adrian was actually surprised that most of the guest had actually conformed to the requested dress code. Because you couldn't exactly consider it a "formal" wedding, he'd dressed fairly casually. Simple black slacks and a button down shirt, courtesy of his soon-to-be wife and her monetary support.

He felt uncomfortable around most everyone, and it showed through his expression. Upon spotting both Tracey and Eleanor, he crossed the reception hall and made his way over to them, smoothing out the wrinkles in his shirt before standing behind Tracey (though he was addressing El). "One of your guests keeps leering at me suggestively," he complained, then narrowed his eyes over at a leggy girl (or bloke, perhaps?), unoriginally clad in tight fishnets and a lacey corset. "I feel like I'm in a fucking brothel."

El looked up, looking stunned for a second before she grinned widely. Abandoning her drink she got to her feet (nearly stumbling once again over the damn shoes with the damn heels), hugging Tracey.

"I didn't know you were here," She smiled, really glad that her best friend had shown up after all. "You pull of Magenta rather well yourself," She added with a grin.

Looking at Adrian El rolled her eyes.

"Aw now come on, mate. You know you love the fucking attention you get and you probably love brothels as well. So this wedding is practically made for you."

"Well, I was going to run for the door before the reception, but... At least the wedding wasn't so bad." Tracey shrugged her shoulders, dismissing the topic. If El ever tried to force her to play nice with her little husband there would be trouble.

"Ignore Adrian, he just wants something to whine about. I heard he was ogling a woman at the ball and it ended up being his wife." Tracey smirked, turning her attention to Adrian.

	"Still glad you are here," El smiled before eyeing Adrian with a smile. "What really? But that's kinda nice, isn't it? It would've been a lot worse if you'd seen her and though 'Fuck, she is fucking ugly'." She laughed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh I'm sure he's kicking himself for it at the moment." Tracey laughed, loving to tease Adrian. "So El, any plans for the honeymoon?" She could play nice. Really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Uh well...no, not really," El mumbled, blushing slightly. "I haven't thought about anything that might come after the wedding because I am sure it'd give me another panic attack..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tracecontrol 2008-08-01 08:22 am UTC (link)
	"Can't blame you." She was feeling sick just thinking of El with Zach. Alone. Ew. Tracey pressed her lips together. "Oh well. At least the wedding part is over with. Now the Ministry can't complain. Well, until they start ordering procreation." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eleanor_ 2008-08-01 08:23 am UTC (link)
	"Hm..." El took a sip of her drink. Yes, alcohol definitely helped with nervousness. "Zach is actually not too bad, you know? But I'm still scared...." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tracecontrol 2008-08-01 08:32 am UTC (link)
	"He's a pervert. You used to punch guys like him." Tracey managed to hold back a sneer. She did shoot a glare the groom's way though. "Though obviously you somehow found something good in him. Or taken a blow to your head. But it's okay. Everybody is allowed their mistakes." Well she was being nice. He was still in one piece. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eleanor_ 2008-08-01 09:08 am UTC (link)
	El wrinkled her nose and sighed. "Yeah I know, but he is a nice pervert. Somehow. And I can steal his clothes, that's another plus. Don't forget about that one." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tracecontrol 2008-08-02 01:10 am UTC (link)
	"As if you would want to wear his clothes." Tracey pressed her lips together, frowning. Actually. In her mind she was putting El in Zach's clothes and... "Oh my god, you two look alike! I... need to go sit down. Ew. Oh my god." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eleanor_ 2008-08-02 01:13 am UTC (link)
	El laughed, handing Tracey a drink. "No we don't. I'm better looking. We just happen to share the same fashion sense...or lack of it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tracecontrol 2008-08-02 01:27 am UTC (link)
	"Similar hair, skinny bodies, similar wardrobes. I bet you two were separated at birth or something." Oh good, she needed a drink. Tracey took the drink and before she knew it, the glass was empty. Playing nice was hard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm the nice twin if that's the case," El grinned, handing Tracey another drink. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tracecontrol 2008-08-02 01:53 am UTC (link)
	"Right. Congratulations and all that." She waved the drink away, feeling uncomfortable. El's wonderful husband was eyeing his new wife and it was making her uncomfortable. "I have to go. Try to behave." As if she would. Stupid Zach. If it was up to Tracey she would brutally murder the git for existing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No. People to do and things to see. You know the drill." Tracey put on a fake smile, shrugging. "I'll talk to you later." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh okay...thanks for coming, that really meant a lot," El smiled, hugging Tracey again. (Reply to this) (Parent)

"Shit, shit, shit!"

Apparently it had been a long night for Zacharias, out drinking to mourn- I mean celebrate his wedding. Even as much as he'd like to deny it, he would have to agree that she had grown on him rather quickly.

He swallowed a quick potion to help with his mild hangover before throwing on his Eddie outfit. Maybe it was a bit cheesy to match the couples form the movie, but it would also be awkward to be watching a different character, such as Brad, getting married to Columbia. The costume was one of the easiest to pull off- a simple black shirt, black leather chest with patches on the back and a leopard print on the collar, dirty jeans, a floppy, dirty, old black converse. He hadn't gone as far as to dye his hair black for the part, though he's had his dark before. He painted some fake blood on his face and messed with his mohawk, pulling it up on ontop.

He pulled open one of his drawers and grabbed a small velvet box holding the rings. For the record, he had decided on going for the canary diamond held in platinum. He shoved it into his pocket and left.

Upon arrival, he quickly made a once around to check up on things, making sure everything was running smoothly. But not without a shot at the bar...

When she spotted Zach at the bar El got up and walked over, resisting the urge to chew her bottom lip. This whole thing was still somewhat awkward. In the end she was glad that she had married Zach though. He was nice, even if he got her worked up sometimes, and they got along well. She could've been off way worse. Besides, who else would have agreed to a Rocky Horror Wedding? Obviously their parents hadn't been too taken with the idea, but El didn't care. Other girls might've imagined a fairytale wedding since they could think, but El had never been like other girls after all.

Pushing her hat back a little she leaned against the bar, grinning at Zach.

"Get your wife a drink, will you?"

	"How about a please?" he joked with a bat of his eyelashes. He ordered her one of the martinis that she had ordered at the Ball before turning back to her. He looked to her hand, "How d'you like your ring?" "Glad it wasn't the belly one?" He winked at her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ooc: no worries eleanor_ 2008-07-31 04:43 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm your wife now, I don't have to say please anymore," El winked, a smirk flitting over her face. Looking at her hand she wiggled her fingers slightly, smiling. "Oh no, very disappointed that it wasn't the belly one. It was kinda cute," She mock sighed. "But this one is very nice as well. See, I told you that I'd like whatever you'd choose."

He sighed, "Knew I should have gone with that one..."

As for Zach's parents, they had only stayed at the reception to visit and meet with El's parents for a few moments. Needless to say, they were not too impressed with their son's chosen theme. They were very classic in their thinking, and were outraged in how vulgar some of their guests outfits had been. Even one of his cousins had dressed for the part.

"Oh, admit it. I just have great taste," he gave a bright grin.

Taking the drink El took a sip, watching Zach over the rim of her glass. After all the planning and talking it was weird to actually stand here now, at this very moment.

"Yes of course you have great taste, otherwise I wouldn't steal your clothes," she stated dryly. "And you wouldn't have married me, because you marrying me shows that you have great taste," She added with a cheeky grin.

"Married you for your legs," he said with a playful wink before ordering up a simple beer.

"How are the parents dealing with all of this?" He asked ask he chased his eyes around the room. He saw familiar faces, but it didn't feel like a wedding, even after the vows. That was a relief, sort of... well, it took away from the aspect of it to be looking at a costume aprty, at least.

	eleanor_ 2008-07-31 05:08 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, sure. It's all about the legs with you, huh?" El rolled her eyes. "Uh...well okay, I guess. Mum was close to a heart attack, but dad was rather amused and kept her under control. Think they'll be leaving soon," She shrugged. "What about your parents? I hope they don't hate me completely." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	countingsheep 2008-07-31 05:13 pm UTC (link)
	He grinned, "Nooo, like you for your mind," he said with playful sarcasm, raising his beer to his lips. "Not you," he said with a shrug. "Not fond of the... theme we chose, though." He rolled his eyes, "Not to matter... they'll get over it by Christmas." He winked and took another sip from his beer. "Like your hair that color, by the way..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eleanor_ 2008-07-31 05:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Well that's good. I wouldn't want them to hate me," She mused, downing the rest of her drink. "Thank you. I found this awesome spell that'll change your haircolour for a day. Tomorrow I'll be blonde again, I hope you are not too disappointed," She winked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	countingsheep 2008-07-31 05:27 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, I hate you. What's two more people?" He gave a pout, "Guess I'll just have to file for a divorce tomorrow then." "I see your best mate decided to show..." he said and gave a glance over to Tracey. "Suppose she's thrilled about this." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

El pouted and poked him.

"You don't hate me. You looooooooove me," She grinned, stealing his beer and taking a sip.

"Hm...yeah I'm just glad she came and we are talking again." El really had missed Tracey these past few days. She was pretty much the only female friend she had and one of her closest friends as well. Life without her had been dull.

"Be nice to her, okay?"

	"Hah! You wish..." he smiled was pulled off his face when she stole a sip from his beer. "You always do that," he pouted. "Nice?" gave her a fake expression of confusion, "Not familiar with that one..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eleanor_ 2008-07-31 05:39 pm UTC (link)
	"We're married now, we're supposed to share," El pointed out, taking another sip of beer to enhance her point. "Yeeees, you know what nice is. You're nice to me," She smiled, handing him the beer back. "Come on, be nice to her and you can shamelessly perv over my legs without me punching you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	countingsheep 2008-07-31 05:46 pm UTC (link)
	He gave a shrug, taking his beer back from her and tilted his head back, pouring the rest of it down his throat. He set the bottle back on the bar with a sigh. "It could be worth a try..." "Then again, why would I want to?" He rose a brow at her, "Not like she'll 'ppreciate it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eleanor_ 2008-08-01 01:46 am UTC (link)
	"Probably not, but I would appreciate it and that's all that should matter to you," El replied with a shrug, ordering herself another drink. "I don't want one of my best friends and my...husband," Damn, sounding even more weird. "To constantly argue. Besides, think about the legal leg perving you can do then."

He stole another glance at Tracey. He knew El was right, but if there was another thing about Zach, he could be stubborn when he wasn't feeling like he owed something.

He shrugged, "I suppose I could forget..." he knew that it would most likely cause problems between himself and his wife if he didn't.

"Won't pay her much attention if she does the same, I guess."

He was getting bored with talking about Tracey, pulling out his cigarettes, he lit one up, holding one out in offering to Eleanor.

He smirked, "Meaning I get to perv over legs freely."

	"Good! You both just ignore each other and the world will be fine," El smiled, taking a cigarette. "Yes yes. Not that you wouldn't perv over them without my permission either. Because you are a pervert," She nodded. "Which is kinda disturbing." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	countingsheep 2008-08-01 11:16 am UTC (link)
	"Disturbing is that you want to see me in fishnets and a corset..." he took a drag from his cigarette and leaned against the bar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Even more disturbing is that you want to see me in that corset thingy. Then again, no it is not. I wouldn't have expected anything else from you," She sighed, taking a drag from her cigarette. "But the wedding is actually really nice..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	countingsheep 2008-08-01 12:10 pm UTC (link)
	He shrugged, "You're the one who wanted to play dress up with it, I didn't force you itno the idea." He gave her a wink. "Nice because I am the groom..." He grinned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	El laughed and lightly punched his arm. "Oh stop being like that. I'd say both our effort has made this wedding great. Weird how something remotely good can come out of this stupid ministry thing. Oh wonderful world, first thing I'll do tomorrow morning is steal your boots." (Reply to this) (Parent)
