Nobody is here to debate Pinocchio's charms.

But this was a photo taken at MY wedding.

Were you two also black out drunk??
I must admire your spectacularly bad judgement if not.
Goro and I can't remember anything, but at least we have that excuse.

Explain yourself, Monsieur Wriothesley.

It was certainly a wedding, yes.

No. Actually, I was pretty sober through a good portion of it.
I think I only really started having a drink or three after the bouquet was thrown into my face.
By the way, the bride is usually supposed to throw the bouquet, not the groom.
Unless you're the groom. I'd hate to make assumptions with how you two wanted to handle that.

[Look. He isn't going to question too much how they wanted their wedding to go when their rings were twist ties you use to tie bags of bread up??? Also, he didn't really want to question, well, any of it actually. There was a lot going on with that wedding.

Why he kind of just went with it? Eh, it didn't feel like he could go against it.]

Hmm.

Before I get into any details I have a question I would like you to answer at the very least.

Do I look like your father or something?

[There was a lot to respond to there but it's ALL thrown at the window at reading that last question.

The absolute frog croak Akechi probably heard her make!!]

not
in
the
SLIGHTEST
WHAT THE FUCK WRIO???

Please understand I simply needed to confirm some things.
Whether I looked like him or if, somehow, you saw me as a father figure. That, or being as drunk as you are just meant all bets were off.

Also this isn't asked out of the blue or anything.

You very much were rather determined to have me walk you down the aisle for your wedding.

[Of course he said yes, but-]

I must say, you certainly have interesting ways to convince someone though.

[she's just GAGGED about this wow]

all bets were DEFINITELY OFF
if anything you were invited along to SPITE my father
he'd hate you and that means you're worth knowing

What did I convince you with????

[Look. LOOK. He had to make sure. He doesn't know Marina that well and this was a very odd night for everyone involved.]

I cannot say that I know the state of your relationship with your father, so I just wanted to confirm.
I've certainly learned a lot in these few messages though.
He sounds charming though.
How could he possibly hate me? I am nothing but an upstanding citizen.

Ah. You said, and I quote, "I came on your face once, so that'll really spit on the memory of my father to have you walk me down the aisle." Honestly, you really didn't need to convince me of anything, but I found this statement to be particularly amusing.

YOU ARE A MENACE TO SOCIETY.

[(And that's why she likes him.) This is coming from Marina Domek, so you know it's serious. Big "takes one to know one" energy exploding from that first text.]

I did do that to you and you loved it.
How did you EVER think that was me seeing YOU as a father figure????
Clearly I meant the exact opposite! An act of total disrespect!!

I've only been on my best behavior.
If I truly were a menace, then I definitely would not have the position and accolades I hold back home.
I'm going to need evidence of me being such a thing.

[No, she's right though. Sure, he is actually a good citizen and all, but he definitely is a menace in his own right. He can play dumb though.]

I did. I'd let you do it again too.
The honest answer?
I didn't. I just had a few theories. I was mostly worried that I bore any resemblance to him, honestly. That would be just a little weird.

You have absolutely not been.
It's too early to argue with you!
Bad dog.

[Is he even a dog? Doesn't matter. The sort-of wolf ears probably still allude her.]

My old man was a cruel, decrepit Dark Priest.
The opposite of anybody I would ever like.
So that's a HORRIBLE theory.
So so so gross and weird.
Lay it to rest and never dig it about up again.

Hey. I'm hurt.
I mostly agreed to your drunk demands since I wanted to make sure you two were alright through it all.

[He is not hurt, but he is being honest about sticking around. The two were rather rowdy, so it just seemed easier to play along during their drunk escapades than to try and stop them.

That, and he doesn't think two drunk teens with a goal (whatever hell of a goal they had) is easy to stop.]

I'm a dog now?
Woof, woof.

Well, it's been thoroughly disproven, so already forgotten.
You're right though. He probably would have hated me and I would have no love in return.
I apologize. It wasn't my intention to bring up any unpleasant feelings and memories.
Let's go back to your joyous moment. I will say that I don't think I'll ever get to walk anyone down an aisle, so maybe I'm a little chuffed to have gotten to.
Though, I think you could do better.

[A little Akechi bullying? A little Akechi bullying.]

Well, I'm glad you had fun with it.
The photo of you walking me down the aisle IS cute, I'll admit.

[she sends it. It's actually nice. Marina looks pretty in her wedding dress that had the train cut off it when she woke up with Marcoh. There isn't even blood on it, yet!

Maybe she'll even appreciate how funny this incident all is once the hangover wears off and the mess is more behind them...

And they figure out WHY...]

Believe me, we're getting a divorce.
We just want to know what made us decide to be married.
Did we say why?

[can't just be that they liked one another, no way.

They did probably mention "Mob rules" to Wrio and Pino, though not elaborating beyond that. The two men are the lifeline of people who actually remember this event and its strange, drunken rationale.]

[Oh. This was...surprisingly cute. Sweet. No one can blame him if he saves it even. It's not like he expects to walk anyone down the aisle. He isn't really fit for the role, but it's nice to see it.]

Ouch. That bad?
I feel for him a little bit suddenly.

Hm. No.
You two were really quite plastered when I ran into you.
There wasn't really any explanation as to why.
You did mention something along the lines of "mob rules" but there was never a real explanation as to what this entailed.

[He cannot really say why two drunks would think about getting married other than-]

We often do dumb things while we're drunk, no?
But one can say that being drunk doesn't mean you do things you wouldn't do persay. Just that you lose the inhibitions to hold back on things you might want to do.
Perhaps you two wanted to get married and the alcohol loosened you up for it.

[Look. He doesn't know what complex feelings the two of them have about each other. That's not for him to parse.]

You should feel bad for him.
He's losing Marina Domek as a wife.
Tragic for him, really.

[She doesn't want to be a wife!! She is not wifey material. At least, not to a 1940's standard of what Marina thinks that means.]

Mob rules.
Huh. I'll think about that one.

[Huh, indeed. That sparks something in her mind, a tickle of an idea she can't full grasp onto. Maybe if she brings that up to Akechi he can help her put it together.

Unlucky husband or not, he is a sharp guy.]

Also, we would NOT want that.
Why do people keep saying that!?
Don'
t answer that
I don't wanna hear it
Thanks for the other info.
OH and thanks for the cake.

A complete tragedy.

I have no idea what it means, but it was said very confidently.

[She doesn't get to hear him laugh because it's text. She probably knows he is laughing a little bit though. Hey, he needed a good laugh after how crazy February was. It does put him in a much better mood.]

Hah.
It's your business, not mine. I merely brought up that alcohol lowers inhibitions.
Aren't you two at an age where you're allowed to do dumb and irresponsible things anyways?

[He is NOT going to ask about the ghoul. He doesn't know anything about it nor does he want to. Marina is lucky that his morality is just loose enough that he can really turn a blind eye to it. He only hopes the person didn't deserve it.]

You're welcome.
