[Death is rather old fashioned so he's still not very good with this technology even though he's been on the ship for a few months now. The video shakiness for a moment probably doesn't help to soften the fact that you are now staring into the face of a skeleton in a black robe. The voice seeming to just appear in your head rather then entering your ears via the normal route probably doesn't make things better either.

Sorry, he can't help it.  He also sounds a little hesitant.]

THIS MAY SOUND LIKE A VERY ODD QUESTION ....ESPECIALLY FOR THIS LOCATION.

BUT ARE THERE ANY UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED MARRIAGE TRADITIONS? BESIDES THE END RESULT I MEAN?

[Granny is giving the communicator a look that someone who knows her might actually recognize as being utterly perplexed.]

Why are ye asking that question?

[No, really]

Why are ye asking that question?

[This makes no sense]

Why are ye asking that question?

[Dear universe this makes no sense can't they go back to the nice place with all the elephants on turtles where things are sensible?]

Why are ye asking that question?

...IT IS FOR A FRIEND?

[Sort of prepared.]

[And now she's just glaring. No one is ever actually asking for a friend.]

Really?

[ Have a rather cheerful hobbit looking up at you, radiating eagerness and helpfulness. ]

Well, normally there is a bit of a ceremony, and a party afterwards, and lots of good food and flowers.

[ He squints a bit at the image, but it is not the strangest thing he has ever seen (close, but not quite), so he isn't near as fazed as he ought to be. Also, the person asked about a wedding, and everyone knows hobbits are the best at those. And everything else, really. ]

Have you never planned a wedding before? I could help you out if you'd like.

[Yay, helpful person.]

I AM....NOT GENERALLY INVOLVED IN WEDDINGS NO.

[ He's always happy to be helpful, and marriages are the best sorts of parties. ]

Well, I wouldn't mind helping you plan the ceremony and party if you'd like! I planned the wedding of a dear friend of mine, and my relations seem to think I'm rather good at planning things.

[ It's not like he really has much else to do, and he was going to try and contact a lawyer anyways. Seeing if there needs to be a marriage license obtained seems little compared to that. ]

Weddings are wonderful things! You should try to visit them more often!

[ Guess who has no idea who you are? This guy. ]

I take it you found a solution to your terminology troubles, then?

YES. IT MAKES THINGS A GREAT DEAL SIMPLER.

[Hard nouns, the very best reason to get married.]

From the sound of it, the sentiment was already there.

[Yeah, it's strange, but welcome to Tranquility. Everything's strange.]

Not really sure how that would work in this case, but there's nothing wrong with getting creative.

Oh.

... there's usually two people, and a third person saying words at them?

[Pepper seriously sounds surprised by this.]

You're getting married?

[likescats]

YES.

[He's expecting a lot of responses like this really.]

[the_other_eight]

[Pepper, blinks, tightening her lips at the answer. Parallel universes is one thing but skeletons getting married ... well, she supposes it could be worse ... maybe not weirder, but worse.]

I could organize the event for you if you like.

[Because Pepper is never busy enough.]

[makedo]

[ mawwiage. mawwiage is what bwings us togethew today — no, but in all honesty, brad hates the idea of marriage and it has nothing to do with how his fiancee left him for his best friend and everything to do with it being an outdated institution of play pretend in a society of make-belief full of shit, really.

that it's a skeleton asking the question at least makes it interesting. ] If you're looking to get married, don't.

[Ichabod's already quite familiar with one skull. It would seem that this ship would have him get to know another. This place has an unsettling sense of humor.]

I can't imagine there's any universally accepted traditions. Even on just my world, there's a lot of variety.

[likescats]

REALLY? I THOUGHT THERE MIGHT BE AT LEAST SOME THINGS IN COMMON IN MOST WORLDS.

THERE ARE QUITE A FEW ON YOUR WORLD?

DOES THIS SHIP HAVE MARRIAGE TRADITIONS?

[He's possibly misunderstanding the question.]

I SUPPOSE I SHOULD HAVE ASKED THAT FIRST. DO YOU KNOW IF THEY DO HERE?
