Riza
She smiled and nodded to encourage Hikari and then she and the doctor disappeared into the examination rooms.
"I'm Dr. Goldblum." he said, shaking her hand. "I'll need you to remove your clothes and put on this gown. Me and my nurse will be back shortly." he instructed, "I'm going to take a blood sample, a urine sample and I'm going to give you a pelvic exam and pap smear."
[Don't worry, the exam wont be graphic. xD]
Kimblee
"That's right, I wanna have so many babies they're....flyin out the windows!" he said with a happy laugh.
He glanced up to see Barry and Sarai in the doorway. He put his arm around Roze, beaming proudly. "Isn't she beautful, Barry?" he asked unabashedly.
Sarai
She gasped and covered her mouth with her hands and looked up at Barry. "Look at her!" she said, returning her gaze to Roze. "You're so pretty in that!"
The small group descended the staircase, Zolf nervously straightening his tie. There was a knock on the front door and Sarai opened it, to see a man with a uniform and clipboard. "Can I help you?"
"I got a delivery here for Zolf Kimblee?" he said, "Flowers?"
Zolf came to the door and spoke briefly with the deliveryman and signed the invoice. The delivery man went to his van and returned, along with a partner, with three large vases: Two with dusty pink roses and one of pale cream-white roses, embellished with babies' breath and satiny pale pink ribbons, which they arranged in the main livingroom area. Zolf handed Roze a small bouquet of white roses that were tipped with pale pink along the edges of the petals. It was wrapped in antique lace and pale pink velvet.
"Do you like 'em baby doll?" he asked, then looked around, "Now...where is Scar? I hope he didn't run off somewhere."
[Next post I'll do the exam with Hikari and we can skip to them arriving back at the house, k?]

Scar entered the bedroom shared by his wife and himself. Opening the closet, the Ishballan bent down to reach into the back. Groping for a moment, he finally found the box he was looking for, and pulled it out. Whiping off the dust, his breathing paused as he slowly opened the lid...
-----
"I'm right here." The Ishballan announced as he appeared around the corner, garbed in a white robe. "And Mr. Kimblee..." He stated calmly, approaching the former Alchemist, regarding him with a calm expression. "It is customary that the bride and groom not meet before the ceremony. Therefore, while I prepare, you shall come with me, and I will explain the process of an Ishballan wedding to you." Taking the mans arm in a strangely civil manner, the Ishballan gestured for Kimblee to start walking.

((OOC: Sorry about the absence, gonna be on a lot more now. And please tell me if I'm ignoring anyone's posts with this and I'll quickly fix.)
Her business finished, she strolled into the living room and took a seat on the couch. She would be sure to give Pancrazio a call in the morning about getting the girls into school without too many questions. There was no doubt in her mind that he could do it, and she was actually looking forward to seeing how much he would creep them out.
Chuckling, she reached for her usual book and opened it to where she left off. "This is going to be interesting..."

(I don't think much would creep Hikari out anymore)
Hikari-
Hikari nodded and gulped, and once the doctor left, she did as instructed and changed into the hospital dress that was provided for her. She waited for the doctor to come back, and when he did, she'd do everything he'd say, just to make the test go faster. When it was done, she'd ask for Riza to come in with her as she waited for the results of her test... Which she hoped wasn't bad...
Roze-
Roze smiled at Kimblee. "Maybe not that many, yet." she said, shaking her head at his enthusiasm. When they decended the staircase, she blushed at Sarai's comment on how she looked. "Thanks, Sarai." she said with a smile on her face. When the doorbell rang, her first thought was How did he get guests so fast...? However, when it opened, she was pleasantly surprised. "Thanks, Kimblee..." She once again hugged the flowers close to her, like she did the ones he gave her earlier. When Scar came up, she nodded and waited for them to leave. "That means I'm with you, Sarai, until Riza comes back home. And Barry, you need to go with Kimblee and Scar." She looked exited; possibly one of the happiest anyone could remember her being...

Riza
With a nurse in the room, the doctor performed the pelvic exam, frowning at the amount of scar tissue he saw. He gave a glance to the nurse who took the swabs as he handed them to her.
After the worst part was over, he sat down and removed his glasses. "Hikari..I'm afraid you're not likely to ever have children." he said with a sigh. "It's apparent that someone has hurt you very badly, and if you want to press charges, I'd certainly encourage you to."
He'd never had a terribly gentle bed side manner and in his mind, the best way to break bad news was to simply do it and get it over with. No point trying to gold plate a turd.
"Now..the nurse is going to draw some blood samples and collect some urine in a cup. The tests will take a few days, but we'll call you when they come in, okay?" he patted her lap sympathetically and handed the clipboard to the nurse.
The nurse smiled gently and prepared the vacutainer and blood tubes. She drew a few tubes and instructed the young woman to put her clothes back on and wait back out front. "I..I'm sorry about your news, dear. The receptionist will give you forms to fill out for pressing charges against the bastard who did this to you."
The nurse then smiled weakly and left the room, allowing Hikari to dress.
Kimblee
He was alarmed and startled at first when Scar took his arm. He followed him, feeling a bit prickly and edgy about it. The man had ever right to end his life from the things he'd done to him and his family, but he was banking on the man not wanting to hurt Roze on their special day. "Alright..so..what is this? Is this how Ishballans do this?" he asked civilly, but somewhat wary.

Hikari-
Hikari sighed at the news. It was indeed unfortunate, but she knew something like this would happen. She didn't know if they had known her "job" she was doing, how much Riza had told them. "I... would... But I don't know who it was..." she shook her head. It was true, and it probably just wasn't one man that did it. She nodded to the doctor as he left, and stayed quiet for the nurse. When she redressed, she heard the nurse speak. "It's nothing I didn't expect... And there is no need for the charges. I don't know who did it, and it probably just wasn't one man." Wondering if the wording would alert the nurse to why she was so scarred, she returned to Riza in the front. "Nothing I didn't expect. Intense scaring, and the possibility of having children is extremely low. I knew the risks, but I had to get money somehow, living on my own." She turned to look outside with a somewhat sorrowful expression on her face. "Life isn't always the box of candies people say it is. It's just... a box of emptiness..." She turned back to the officer, and shook her head. "First, losing my homeland, then having to make money in unsafe ways, and now this... My life definitely isn't the cake it's made out to be."
[Her cake is a lie! Sorry, had to say that...]

Arden and Kevin glanced at each other, than at Clause.
"Well, I have no idea as to how I can explain this...so I'll just be blunt and to the point. Your entire existance, as well as the existance of everyone in this house, save for myself, my brother, Dahlia, Markus, and some fools who have taken residence here, had your lives originally completely planned out for you by some person who believes herself to be a bovine" Arden explained, never stopping to catch her breath.
((I think we can just skip to nighttime soon. I mean, does anyone have anything they really have to do?))

[I'm just waiting for Scar to reply to Kimblee for the wedding. Whether it takes place at night doesn't matter to me. It's been daytime for weeks now, maybe months xD]
Riza
She wasn't entirely surprised to hear such news. Being unable to bear children was bad enough, but she hoped insult wouldn't be added to injury with the presence of some incurable disease.
She had always been more sympathetic than given credit for by most, but her practical manner of speech made her seem colder than she really was. After she and Hikari concluded their business at the front desk, they walked out.
She started the car and sat there for a moment silently. Finally she looked at Hikari and spoke. "I'm really sorry this has happened to you. But no matter how dire our circumstances are and no matter why we think we have to do certain things, there are consequences to every action we choose to take. I know that sounds harsh and unforgiving, but it's true. Life isn't fair. We have to do whatever we can to make life as fair for ourselves as we can; and from now on, that should include making better choices for yourself."
She pulled out of the clinic driveway and headed back to the house as she continued to speak. "You can turn the tide of your fortune any time you want. Just do what's in your best interest from now on. You can't go wrong in the end. Don't live in the past, but don't shut the door on it either. Just remember: we can't always keep our property, our friends and family and our health...but the lessons are ours to keep forever. Just start choosing easier lessons from now on. Do you understand?"
She hadn't meant to lecture, and she felt a bit foolish. Perhaps she'd thrown too much at her at one time..and perhaps the wrong time. But there was always a time to be practical: right now.
"Well, here we are." she said, pulling back up to the house. "Maybe the wedding hasn't started yet... there's almost always something at the last minute to hold these things up."

SIRAN
Across town,a girl entered a mansion,with two paper sacks full of groceries. Her Black and crimson streaked hair hung against her body,it was not her natural color the reason her hair was waist length.
She set the bags on the counter as a 13 year old boy looked up from his snack," So how was work?" he said smirking.
" Of all the people to be stuck with,why did it have to be you?" Siran sneered at the boy.
SYRA
"Wrath and Siran,why must you two always bicker,and Wrath I thought I made it clear you needed to go to school." Syra said,rubbing the bridge of her nose. The two were a handful sometimes,but Syra could not just let them stay alone like she found them. Siran had gotten a job as a bar tender at a nearby bar.
"Syra,I got the groceries,but I have to head back to the bar for my shift.' Siran said.
"Ok," Syra said watching the girl leave to the bar for the evening.
WRATH
Wrath looked at Syra,"it is pointless for me to go to school."
Wrath just wanted to go back home and wreak havok there. He hated having to pretend to be Siran's younger brother. he tapped his finger against the cabinet. he wondered if the others were here too,maybe he could find them and escape the CRimson Princess. She was only good as a pawn,since she idolized Homunculi.

"Yes." Scar replied. "It is a custom that the groom not see his bride during the engagement untill the ceremony. Even then, you will not see her face untill the end." he replied. "The ceremony is similar to the ones here. You'll stand at the 'altar', though we don't really have one, she'll come down the isle and stand next to you, and you'll both face me. I will recite the vows of binding to you, to which you will agree. You will then offer your hand to your bride. That is our way of giving the "I do". If she takes your hand, she has completely and ultimately agreed to be your wife. I will then proceed with the ceremony, and when I finish, you may lift her veil and kiss the bride. I'd go more into detail, but we don't have the time. Just go along with what I do, and you'll do fine."

Clause-
Clause didn't know how to respond. Her life was planned out? "So you mean that my getting captured by Majhal was just... planned? That's just... mean..." She shook her head. "I don't believe that for a minute. I believe our future is ours to make for ourselves. Nothing controls that. Nothing at all..." Her voice became ever more forceful and confident as she spoke out. "I don't believe that anything that has happened is because of something's whim! It might not always be pretty, but it's not anything that you can't control..." Even her eyes shown with her conviction.
Hikari-
Hikari shook her head to the female. "I know what you are saying. It's not that I chose to do this lightly. I knew the consenquences, and I didn't think they'd not happen to me... I felt it was about the only thing I can do. Doing that, nobody cares about your real name. Nobody cares where you're from. And I can charge any price I want, so I can survive... It's not honourable, I know. It's not healthy... but sometimes you need to sacrifice health and honour to keep yourself alive. It's not as easy as you may think..." With that, she fell silent, listening to the rest of her speech until they pulled up. When Riza changed her speech, she smiled and nodded. "Let's go..."

Riza
Once inside she and Hikari made their way to the livingroom, where the wedding was taking place. She noted the flower arrangements and smiled at Roze, who seemed a bit giddy and nervous.
She leaned over and whispered to Hikari, "We'll finish our discussion later, okay?"
"Hasn't started yet, huh?" she asked the group.
"We're waiting for Scar and Kimblee" Sarai answered. "Roze, we should leave the room, you're supposed to be out of sight until he's at the altar. I'll signal you from the door when it's time, okay?"
Kimblee
His heart was hammering and he felt nervous as all hell. He'd never been married and until Roze, had never wanted to be married. He adjusted his tie for the dozenth time and donned the hat, then took it off with a scowl. "Should I wear this? I don't understand these customs at all." he said with a slight tone of edgy frustration, "but I'm ready as I'll ever be otherwise. Let's do this."

Roze and Hikari-
Hikari followed Riza in and found Roze in time to hear her say "Yeah... I think it's about ready, though..." She heard Sarai speak, and nodded, following her to the door. She took several breaths, trying not to appear as nervous as she felt... which was pretty nervous. Hikari looked to Riza and smiled. She didn't know much about these things, but she knew that it must be hard on Roze, and was happy Riza was here to support her. "Shall we go take our places...?" she asked, and added in a whisper so only Riza could hear, "Fine..."

Arden shook her head. "Hey, don't believe me if you don't want too. People didn't believe Noah about the flood, and look what happened to them" she said as she hurried upstairs with a twisted grin.

Scar did not give a verbal answer. He simply took the hat and tossed it behind him without so much as batting an eye. "Calm down." he ordered, taking the man by the arm to lead him along. Pushing open the door to the back yard, he led the man along. "Allright, stand right here and try not to pass out." he stated. "Also, I'd prefer it if you refrained from using your tongue untill after you're out of my sight, but if you MUST, kindly keep it as appropriate as possible." With that, he held up his free hand, clasping a large bell, and rang it a few times.

Riza
She went to the back door and peered out when she heard a bell. She saw Kimblee standing between the two vases of flowers, tugging on his tie, and turned to Roze, "It's time." she said.
"Come on Hikari, let's go take a seat."
Sarai
She went outside and took a seat on a porch chair, along with Hawkeye and Hikari. Roze looked dazzling and beautiful and her nervous blush only made her more pretty.
Kimblee
He gave Scar an irritated glance as they walked out the door. "Come on, I'm not that crude!" he said. Was he?
He blinked in confusion when Scar rang a bell, and turned around to face the door Roze would be coming out of. He clasped his hands together and bounced on his heels nervously a couple times before willing himself to mellow out. He could feel his fingernails digging into the palm of his other hand and wondered if it was normal to feel this nervous.
He felt a bit sad when he saw the small group seated and waiting for their nuptials. He felt Roze deserved something better than this and felt a blush of shame creep to his face. It felt strange and foreign to him.

Hikari nodded to Riza and followed her out to the seats and took one. She waited to see how this thing would turn out...
Meanwhile, Roze was getting more nervous about this thing... and then the bell rung. She took a breath and stepped out, nervously looking over the small gathering- but that's kind of how she wanted it. Nothing too big for her. A slight red glow was on her cheeks- a nervous blush- and she proceeded up to where Kimblee and Scar were without anything happening... With that done, she turned and waited for the next progression of the wedding...

((OOC: I just remembered that Magrace is still prowling around the house. Uh oh. XD And this post is before Rose makes her appearance.))
Dante casually strolled into the living room and quirked a brow when she noticed the scenery. She knew that Rose and Kimblee planned on getting married, but she had no idea that they were going to do it so quickly. It seemed like they were rushing into it, but she decided not to dwell on it too much. After all, love was hardly logical.
Smoothing out her dress, she took a seat on one of the chairs and crossed her legs. "I hope there's an open bar," she hummed to herself.
-----------------------------------------
Eltana was sitting a few seats away from her, looking bored out of his mind. "Do I even know these two people...? Oh well, I have nothing better to do."

Riza
Riza glanced over at Dante, hearing her remark. "Well since it's Kimblee's function, I'm sure the booze will be flowing freely, if he has any say so." then added, "I just hope he doesn't get so drunk he ruins his reception."
Kimblee
His nervous hands kept fussing with his tie and tugging the lapels of his suit until Scar glared at him. He smiled weakly and clasped his hands, resorting to digging his nails into his palm. What if she didn't come through the door? What if she changed her mind and ran off?
What if, what if, what if. All the what if's danced through his mind like wicked little imps tormenting him till his brow had small beads of sweat. Dammit, where is she? he agonized. He looked up as the door opened and nearly lost his breath. She came up the aisle resplendent in the gown they'd bought, delicate hands clasping her bouquet. It took all he had to not rush up to her, shove the ring on her finger, say 'man and wife', kiss her and run off with her tossed over his shoulder before she could change her mind.
He reached for her hand and they both turned to face Scar. He felt like he was falling apart at the seams.

Scar looked between the two, their anxiousness, especially Kimblee's, rather obvious to him. Clearing his throat, the Ishballan began the procession. "It is the will of God that a man and a woman should find another, love one another, and become as one flesh. The act of a man taking a woman as his wife is more than a simple gesture of love and affection. It is a commitment. A vow to forever walk together in happyness, and to carry eachother through sorrow." Turning somewhat so he was specifically facing Kimblee, the priest continued. "Zolf Kimblee. Do you vow to take this woman as your wife? To love her, provide for her, protect her, and care for her?" he asked.
