THE WEDDING
Patch, Del, and Mags had finished the construction of their new home just in time, really. The clocktower rose up from the ground both in Del's realm and Patch's simultaneously--not so much co-located as a bridge between them. Much of the tower stretched beneath the ground--a concession to safety, both for their impending children and in consideration of the war that had just passed, but the enormous face could be seen from nearly every part of their realms, like a second moon with slowly turning hands.
The wedding was about to begin. It seemed sometimes as if it had been looming over everyone for so long that it couldn't possibly be here, and yet it was. Everyone in all the multiverse was invited--messages had been sent to all wings of the nexus, people hallucinated the invites, people came in dreams and in delirium and in ways they couldn't recall later. And of course some people just teleported in as they'd always done. All that mattered was that they came.
The wedding was event enough, but the massive carnival and masquerade ball that surrounded the clock tower was a sign of this being more than a ceremony--it was a celebration of life and of love. The Magus War was over at last, and people needed something to ease their spirits. A new semester was beginning shortly at Patchwork University and there were new people to welcome. Their new home itself deserved a housewarming party. The children would be born soon. And really, what reason did anyone need to have fun? Delirium was also Delight, and joy needed no excuse.
The celebration and ceremony would go on for four days--and the clocktower made the best of all uses of the strange chronology of Patchwork Earth and Delirium's realm... there was no forced continuity here, people could come and go from their lives as they wished. Everything seemed to happen at once. No-one would be violent on this day.
Let the festivities begin!
