bachelor party!

[the_real_ray]

Ray would deny it till he turned blue in the face if anyone had ever asked him, but somehow fate had decided that one Stanley Raymond Kowalski was one of his best friends on the island. Yeah, who saw that one coming? Ray mostly blamed it on the fact that Stanley was all he had left from home and tried not to think too hard about it. So when one

Jane had no manner of knowing precisely what was going on and she furrowed her brow mildly, stepping into the strange surroundings and glancing about. She was greatly confused, but she saw many familiar faces and stayed in the hopes of discovering the purpose of the evening.

"Hey, Jane," Ray greeted, looking momentarily bewildered. He was pretty sure bachelor parties were for guys.

Then again, most weddings usually involved a wife and a church, not two guys in a jungle.

Jane herself was in a state of bewilderment, peering about the odd set-up, giving Ray a confused and furrowed brow. "Ray," she spoke, curtsying properly. "I do not understand. I was walking home and saw such a gathering, but I cannot fathom the meaning."

[the_cop]

Ray tried not to laugh, it was just, Jane was curtsying in a bar and the picture of it was cute.

"It's a bachelor party," he replied with a slow smile. "Which is a party for a groom before he gets married. Supposed to be like the last night of freedom, y'know?"

Her eyes were wide as she surveyed the scene about her, taking in all the people and trying to apply his words. "Stuart did not have one," she spoke distractedly, noting the strange items about and alcohol. Finally, she brought her attention back to him and embraced him tightly. "Congratulations," she said warmly. "Upon your engagement!"

[the_cop]

Ray blinked and hugged back. "Hey, thanks. Uh, you can come if you want, I put up a sign. Horatio's worried about people watching him, thinks he's gonna trip and fall on his face or something."

[bennet_beauty]

"I did not trip," she remarked, quite seriously. "And I had a very long train of a dress to use, so I do not see why he would," she spoke thoughtfully.

[the_cop]

"Well, y'know, just pre-ceremony jitters. Were you nervous before your wedding?" Ray asked.

[bennet_beauty]

Jane nodded, a serious expression upon her face. "Very much so. I could barely sleep and we observed tradition in that we could not see each other, so Stuart blindfolded himself all night and we set up a partition in bed so we would not touch," she relayed jovially.

[the_cop]

Ray's eyebrows went up a little at the mental picture of that, but his confusion won over. "Wait, there's a tradition you can't see each other the night before? Is it a sex thing, or is this about the dress? 'Cause the dress thing I think I heard of."

[bennet_beauty]

"I simply have heard it to be bad luck," she responded with a frown. She peered about. "Everyone seems to be becoming quite inebriated," she spoke worriedly. "Will they be all right?"

[the_cop]

Ray zoned out for a minute, contemplating whether or not he and Horatio should sleep in different places on Friday night. He snapped out of it, though, and both eyebrows went up. "Huh?" He looked around. "Nah, I mean, there's no cars to drive...if anybody passes out I'll get Carrot to drag their unconscious body outside."

[bennet_beauty]

Jane did not understand how a vegetable would be capable of dragging persons under the influence outdoors and she risked a suspicious look at Ray himself. "Well, do not worry," she informed him. "The wedding shall go well."

[the_cop]

"I'm trying not to. I think I'm less worried than Horatio, anyway. After all, I've done this before," Ray said. And okay, so the time with Stella had been loads different than getting married to a guy on a crazy island, but it was still experience of a sort.

Tosh smiled shyly at Jane. "Would you like a drink? I can do smoothies, and juices." She knew the woman was pregnant, and likely wouldn't want alcohol, "Did you come in to wish the grooms well?"

[bennet_beauty]

Jane peered up and smiled warmly. "Actually, I am quite confused," she admitted. "But I would dearly love something of the juice persuasion," she agreed.
