mail ♥ you're invited!

[bittersweeter]

[ near the beginning of september, everyone in the castle proper (and dimitri in siberia) gets a crisp invitation. even rose, whose life support lila would unplug to charge her phone, gets an invitation -- more for the sake of her boyfriend than because lila cares. maybe no invitation for christos though. he murdered a dog, ya'll. (no, even christos bc sylar said so.)


yeah. that's fucking right: a wedding reception. a small pre-stamped postcard requests an rsvp and assures the invitee that lodging will be offered at the hotel should they so choose. there is no choice in food as everyone will be getting surf and turf (dwi) but there is a vegetarian option. enjoy your like two and a half weeks notice wtf is etiquette.

feel free to use this post to rsvp (though it's not necessary) or chat with lila/other people or generally wtf at a slightly surprise wedding, whatever. ]

for henry }

[Okay. Actually RSPV-ing to the wedding has happened. And she talked to Thea about making sure she's dressed properly. Now all that matters is (what she considers) the actual hard part because she doesn't want it to be weird or awkward and she's never actually asked someone on a date before.

It's possible that asking him to a wedding is a bit much, but Abigail and Stiles are going together so there's no reason why she can't ask Henry too. It's just a party. No big deal at all.

She tracks him down in the library, where she pulls out the chair and slides into the seat next to him.]

Hey.

[wanttobeahero]

[ Cora suddenly showing up in the library and taking a seat next to him is a surprise. A nice one. He closes the book he's been looking at, though, and smiles at her. ]

Hey. What's up?

[impetere]

[She smiles back reflexively when he smiles at her, before turning to face him more.]

My friend is getting married. She's having a private ceremony, but there's going to be a big party after so ... I was wondering if you maybe wanted to go with me?

[And she'll wait. And if he doesn't say anything she'll start up again, but waiting first.]

[wanttobeahero]

[ A wedding. And she wants to go with him. He's flattered and thrilled although he refrains from letting out an overly enthusiastic, 'Heck, yeah.' His smile widens, though. ]

Oh - yeah, I'd love to go! When is it?

[impetere]

[Cora will have gladly accepted 'heck yeah', just for the record. But there's a bit of relief in her shoulders when he says yes and nods.]

A couple weeks from now. September 18.

[wanttobeahero]

[ Couple weeks. That gives him plenty of time to come up with a little gift and a nice suit. ]

Sounds like it'll be fun. Oh, what's her name - well, both of them, her and the groom?

[impetere]

Lila and Sylar?

[She has no idea if "Sylar" is his actual name because it sounds a little made up, but hey. She's not really one to judge. She's friends with a guy named "Stiles."]

I don't know him, but Lila and I have known each other a while.

[wanttobeahero]

Oh, Lila - I met her once! At one of the squiring parties. It's been a while, but...definitely know who you're talking about. Sylar - I haven't met him yet, either, so we're in good company.

[ He smiles a little. ] I'm glad you...thought of me.

[impetere]

[She nods with a small smile.]

Yeah, Lila's great.

[And when he mentions thinking of him, she shrugs. This is still so new and she doesn't really know what she's doing, but he seemed like the right person to ask.]

I thought it would be fun. And we haven't had an actual ... date yet, so I figured it might be a good choice.

[wanttobeahero]

[ He's trying not to read too much into it. It's a date, but not a date date yet. A first step. A good first step. But he also doesn't want to think it's more of a deal than it really is. ]

This is a good first date. I'll see you then.

[impetere]

[She nods in agreement.]

See you then.

[Where there will be shenanigans and dancing if you want to play that out, but otherwise good times were had by all annnnnd /scene]
