On the very same evening that Eustace and… quite a group of men have departed on a camping trip, Oriphi has invited Tifa, Beatrix, Susato, and Kainé to her home for Tifa’s respective “bachelorette party.” It has taken quite a bit of research and discussion between Trahearne and Ori as to how exactly these things go; while Trahearne isn’t familiar with these sorts of customs, on Ori’s part it’s more of a lack of exposure to them. She’s only ever been part of one wedding her entire life, and it wasn’t quite like this. There were two bachelors, for one…

In any case, Ori and Diluc’s home is, predictably, very cozy and full of plants. There are various balloons and other such party decorations peppered throughout the house, but most of the activity will be taking place in the large common area. Once everyone has arrived, they begin the festivities with a nice, warm dinner and wine before they get around to the rest of their night!

On the dining table, Ori has set up a floral arrangement station on the large dining table for them to put together both their and Tifa’s bouquets and the other floral decorations needed for the wedding (to be kept fresh with the help of dreamotion) and various crafting supplies for any other little touches and decorations they might want to make for the ceremony or reception.

The coffee table in front of their couch, meanwhile, boasts a wide spread of desserts and cocktails, including macarons and banana boats. Their drinks for the evening are a specialty starry night cocktail which Diluc helped her create; and if they look closely, they would see little dreamotion stars twinkling in the liquid.

There are also created homemade spa treatments like face masks, lotions, and the like should any of them feel like some well-deserved self-care. Their light blue bridesmaid dresses hang nearby, ready for them to try on and have fun with before they’re properly worn for the ceremony, along with Tifa’s wedding dress! And finally, there are lots of pillows and cushions and blankets and bedrolls for each of them for when it's time to fall asleep, and the fireplace is going with a nice, cozy fire.

The evening is, for the most part, loose and entirely up to them, but what matters most is celebrating Tifa and her upcoming nuptials by having quality girl time!

[ Probably not the same snakes, though sometimes it can be a little hard to tell at a glance. She's learned to differentiate them better since, but it still helps that she can talk to them.

......It's been a while since she's thought about that time. ]

They were young, and only wanted to protect him.

[ ...... ]

But yes, it did sting. [ At least they weren't poisonous. ]

[starshower]

Well, no snakes here to bite you, and no gauze to mummify you with either.

[Tifa reaches out to gently pluck a hand of stray hair that's stuck to Susato's mask.]

Not until you've tried your dress on, at least...!

[As she glances to where they're all hung up together, alongside Tifa's own dress, and the image of it brings a smile to her face. They're only missing the one that should have been hanging there... There's a beat, and a bittersweet look flicker crosses her expression, but for now, she pays the thought no mind.]

Still haven't seen it on you yet.

[judicialassistant]

[ Well, there certainly won't be any accidents requiring mummification on her part! Still, the gesture is a sweet one, and she finds her gaze trailing after Tifa's hand as it lowers. She glances over to the dresses, noting with fondness the empty spot they've left for a certain wavy-haired brunette (just in case).

Aerith certainly is a slacker, through and through. ]

I've been excited to try it! [ She perks up suddenly. ] I've been speaking with Beatrix, too. Have you given any thought to how we should do our hair?

[starshower]

Me?

[Her brows shoot up, and she self-consciously grabs a loose lock of her own that cascades out down from the braids that Ori had done for her. If it weren't for the mask, Susato would be able to see the colour in her cheeks, but perhaps she can feel the subtle warmth lingering in the air suddenly.]

I mean... not really...? I thought you guys might want to do it however you'd like. But I wondered if all of us matching would be the way to go?

[judicialassistant]

[ Yes, you, silly. She's the bride, isn't she? ...Susato gives a nod, however; it appears Tifa has already figured out where she's going with this. ]

This was my thought exactly... Though if you wanted to experiment and do yours differently while your bridesmaids match, we would not fault you for it. It is your day, after all.

You should stand out a little, and glow brightly like the star that you are.

[starshower]

I think... I think the dress'll do enough of that.

[Tifa's not exactly accustomed to being the centre of attention, nor is she a fan of it, so there's a very nervous flutter in her stomach at the reminder.]

Do you wear your hair differently often, Susato? Any other styles you really like on you?

[No judgement here. Tifa's hair is always the same as well on a day-to-day basis.]

[judicialassistant]

Oh, I... I wouldn't say often, no. Though I do feel more free to experiment here in this world of dreams, rather than back home.

[ She'd been too busy with her nose in mystery stories in Randst magazine, sparing nothing more than a glance for anything involving fashion. Then again, when inspiration strikes, a glance is really all you need, no? ]

At Flower Fest... I wore it differently then. [ As Tifa will recall. ] Gina taught me how to braid.

And I've... I've put it in a ponytail a few times at home? [ Boring. ]

[starshower]

I don't know much about hairstyles myself...

[If it make Susato feel any better... but just like her, she's learning too. Tifa never gave it much thought besides looking clean and ready for work or a fight, but it's not something that's totally out of her realm of things she wants to explore.

She wouldn't mind being a bit more girly once in a while.

Her own hair is braided back in a half-updo thanks to Ori, and she turns her head to the left and right to show it off.]

How about something like this? Might look better with some waves, maybe some flowers, but you could try that.

sorry for the delay; we can probably just wrap this up if you'd like!

[judicialassistant]

[ Susato watches as Tifa turns. The stiffness in Susato's face as she blinks is a stark reminder that she still has the mask on, but the closer she stares, the more she admires it. It does make her think of Gina, though the other girl is usually wearing a hat. ]

I could.

[ She may need help, though. Her eyes wander and linger on their dresses before falling back onto Tifa. ]

How about this: we finish with these masks, and then I will ask Ori. Then we can all try on our dresses together!
