[mansionstaff]

Who: Everybody smoochin or punchin.
What: wedding festivities and the apocolypse. Wow!
When: January 5-8th
Where: the Clocktower. The moon? The doors!!
Rating: P for Pow

They had to do it now, that's what they had said. Now, in front of everyone, here at the clocktower. The stage was set for a blast of a time, as gorgeous as it could be at the last minute. The festivities were bound to be a fantastic time, even with looming orange moon filling half the sky.

At least, it was a nice time before the nightmare of a face began to open its mouth in silent congratulations for the happy couple. (Or maybe that was a silent scream.)

It was a nice time before the masks rocketed out of their confines, smashing glass and walls and anything in their way. The door was made for them, and that was where they'd stay, nice and cozy as the apocalypse seemed to open above them.

The clock tower rang the time. As the echoes of the chimes rang out through the air, the clock above door began to move. It was counting down, and with it, the door slowly opened.

Three days.

What to do, Smash Academy?

Re: Before the ceremony

"Believe me, any party YOU could throw is one I wouldn't want to be ANYWHERE NEAR," Eggman grumbled, fiddling with the tie. How he ended up in this situation was anyone's guess... Clearly Flurrie had something to do with this particular selection. Either way, there he was, making nice with his most hated enemy.

"Now don't you DARE mess this up for me," he warned.

[mach_n_roll]

"Whaaat, me?" Sonic chirps, and then leans on the mirror Eggman is using and makes a show of thinking about it.

"Hmmm... Naw. Sure, it'd be fun, but I get the feeling that I don't want to get on Flurrie's bad side."

[iamtheeggman]

"NOBODY wants to be on Flurrie's bad side. I've been there. Trust me. You don't want that."

He knows. This is a man who's seen some shit.

[mach_n_roll]

Whoa. Dude. This is the same man who, without a shred of fear, tried to control time-eating creatures from beyond space and the dark powers of the planet, and that is genuine fear in his eyes. Sonic kinda has new respect for Flurrie, now.

He brushes off the tension and grabs the doctor's hat from its stand, plopping it on his head and looking at himself in the mirror. Don't worry, Eggman, he knows how to keep his quills out of it.

"Don't worry, Eggbrain. Tell ya what. I don't mess with the ceremony, and YOU don't celebrate by trying to hijack that moon or anything. Deal?"

[iamtheeggman]

"I wasn't planning on it anyway," he replied. He glanced down at Sonic and scoffed at his reaction to the implication of Flurrie's terror.

"Don't give me that look, rodent," he said, fixing his tie one last time. "One of these days YOU'RE going to be in the same boat as me, probably with that purple cat. Unless the pink rodent sinks her claws into you first."

[mach_n_roll]

"I don't think so!" He shoots back offhandedly, setting the tophat on at an angle and admiring himself in the mirror.

"I haven't slowed down yet, and have no intention to! Also don't talk about Amy's claws like that; it's kind of creepy."

Sonic's making a joke, but Ivo has bantered with him for so many years that he can tell when he's hit a nerve. The hedgehog tries some weird maneuver to flip the hat off his head and catch it, but he fumbles it and nearly drops the thing.

[iamtheeggman]

"You don't fool me," Eggman replied, scoffing at the failed stunt. "Love has ways of changing people. I'm LOATH to admit it." He looked down at his archenemy. "So what do you think YOU'RE going to do about it? Settle down? Run away when it gets too real too fast? Or maybe just stand by and watch her disappear again? She's going to end up back in her own world eventually, assuming we all survive this."

"Believe me, there's nothing I want more than to tear every spine out of your obnoxious blue head. But there's a woman out there who loves me and expects me to be on my best behaviour."

[mach_n_roll]

Watch her disappear again. His ears fold back and his quills raise a couple of centimeters, incensed by the statement and not really able to figure out why. Sure, they'd had to part ways, Blaze going back to her world and he to his, but there was more to that statement than that. He just couldn't put his finger on what.

"What, you worried I'm not gonna be around to keep your megalomania in check, egghead? I wouldn't worry about that!" He fires back, tossing him his hat. "It doesn't take much to babysit you anymore. As for me and Blaze, it looks like neither one of us are going anywhere right now, so I'm going to think about that when we have to!"

[iamtheeggman]

"HAH! I've only BEGUN to enact my plans to destroy you," Eggman retorted, catching the hat. "Doesn't matter HOW many of your fuzzy friends you bring along. But I have a family to consider..."

He shook his head. "But NEVER MIND THAT. The ceremony will start soon, and right now, your job is to make ME LOOK GOOD."
