Cruel Britannia Wed Jul 13, 2011 4:46 pm

Ewan: So gabe.... how'd that.... "drink" go?

Cryonix Wed Jul 13, 2011 4:49 pm

Gabe: It um....ugh...Alex told you didn't he?

Cruel Britannia Wed Jul 13, 2011 4:53 pm

Ewan: He did..... and I am choosing to ignore your profound lack of game.... and ask..... how it went.

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 4:54 pm

Nikki: Hey! I liked how he did it.

Cruel Britannia Wed Jul 13, 2011 4:56 pm

Ewan: So I'll take that as meaning you said yes Nikki?

Cryonix Wed Jul 13, 2011 4:56 pm

Gabe: Hey, Unc...you've got to tailor game to the situation...and in that situation....that was GAME.

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 4:57 pm

Nikki holds out her left hand, grinning.

Nikki: What was your first clue?

Cruel Britannia Wed Jul 13, 2011 5:03 pm

Ewan: No Gabe.... you wussed out and you're very lucky Nikki was smart enough to get it.....

Congratulations both of you.....

..... you'll have to come meet the family at the manor sometime soon Nikki...

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 5:09 pm

Nikki: To be fair we were both pretty drunk at the time....

Nikki catches Gabe's suddenly nervous look at the mention of the family at the manor.

Nikki: What's wrong with that? I'll be good.

Cryonix Wed Jul 13, 2011 5:26 pm

Gabe: No, it isn't that hon...it's....well......

...actually, there is a ...tradition... new members of the family usually take part in.

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 5:28 pm

Nikki glances around.

Nikki: What is it?

Cruel Britannia Wed Jul 13, 2011 5:28 pm

ewan: It's OK Gabe.... she isn't a fighter..... you can tell her....

Cryonix Wed Jul 13, 2011 5:31 pm

Gabe: Each new member of the family has to be...initiated. Kind of...earn your place with us. Everyone's had to do it. Jay, Me, Alex, Lexi, Amanda....and Jessica will have to as well if she is going to marry Jayden.

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 5:33 pm

Nikki's eyebrows go up.

Nikki: Earn you place? It's a family, why would you have to "earn" a place?

Cryonix Wed Jul 13, 2011 5:33 pm

Gabe: You um.....really don't have to, if you don't want to...

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 5:36 pm

Nikki: I just don't understand why I would have to earn a place in a family? Is there something missing?

Cryonix Wed Jul 13, 2011 5:38 pm

Gabe: To be fair, it's more of a....naming ceremony, in a way.

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 5:39 pm

Nikki: A naming ceremony? What exactly is it?

Cruel Britannia Sat Jul 16, 2011 7:19 pm

Ewan: Nikki... has Gabriel ever explained how we..... mate?

Pockets Sat Jul 16, 2011 7:24 pm

Nikki: Yeah... when I... ah... asked why his mum wasn't at the wedding.

Cruel Britannia Sat Jul 16, 2011 7:33 pm

Ewan: Knowing that story..... can you understand why we like our son's and daughter's mates to EARN that kind of devotion? Not just from the one they're marrying but from the entire family.... to be loved as though you were born to us by blood.

The initiation is also designed to help prepare the people involved for the trials of marriage..... unity through hardship..... unwaivering trust and empathy..... and the elimination of trivial concerns so that one is free to focus on what truly matters.... their happiness as a family.

Pockets Sat Jul 16, 2011 7:37 pm

Nikki: So... you're saying you're going to need me to prove my devotion?

Cruel Britannia Sat Jul 16, 2011 7:39 pm

Ewan: It is entirely voluntary......

Pockets Sat Jul 16, 2011 7:44 pm

Nikki: I can hear the "but" you're not saying....

Cruel Britannia Sat Jul 16, 2011 7:48 pm

Ewan: But you would never be accepted as a member of this family.... nor would we condone your marriage...... how could we ever entrust one of our children to someone who is unwilling to fight for them.... especially when they will have an advantage that most who take the initiation.
