vdistinctiveThe colors from the previous days were still holding, if maybe slightly more muted, Fandom's magic slowly fading but still managing to hang on for another day.
Seemed like a good omen as any for a wedding that Eliot still couldn't quite believe was happening.
Eliot's boat wasn't big enough for all their guests so they had "rented" (long story) a well-appointed yacht for the day. It was docked in the Port of Fandom, waiting for all the guests to board. Once the last person had crossed the gangplank, it sailed almost to the edge of the island, where blue water lapped with gray. Eliot's boat was already there, anchor down, Hardison in a tux, playing around with a sound system.
A few minutes to futz with mics and the speakers set up discreetly around the yacht came to life. "Testin'...Testin'..." Hardison murmured. Good. Everybody would be able to hear the ceremony on the second ship.
Looks like it was time to begin.
[TIME FOR A WEDDING! If you think you were invited, you were. Some OCD coming]

"He's easy to look at, at least."
Sparkle did not really trust the clergy.

And yeah, he did a good job, didn't he? Even if we aren't part of his religion or whatever, he was really nice about it. You have to call or text me if he adjusts okay to the Island," Parker added with a small pang. She was gonna miss Sparkle. "And come visit!"

He paused a moment, smiled faintly, and then held open his arms. Hug?
"Promise I'll visit. We can get into and right back out of shit together wherever you go, it'll be great."

Parker had been there. He thought maybe she'd get it.

I mean, things are looking... maybe okay? There's still a chance I might get sentenced to jail time, but a lot of cases similar to mine are coming up community service."
Years of it, sure. But community service.
