[The journal clicks on. What follows is a view of House 22’s kitchen and Itachi and Law seated at the kitchen table with the book propped up to capture them both in the camera.

All the arrangements have been pretty much been made. They’ve gone over the ceremony with Konan. Spoken with Rei about using the shrine. Spoken with Sasuke and Mikoto. Delivered wedding invitations to: Gai, Elizabeth (Bioshock), Mia, Luke Skywalker, Katara, Masaomi, Shikamaru, Albert, Raine, Ino, Naruto, Minato, Kushina, Sakura, Kakashi, and Sheena. Now it’s down to the final details such as this. And speaking with Rin regarding using Seventh Heaven for the reception.]

Good morning, Luceti. Itachi and I have a bit of an announcement to make.

[That's a pause, and Itachi realizes he's supposed to continue. He clears his throat, feeling slightly awkward addressing the village about this despite all their preparations. He's not embarrassed, not in the least, but this is merely a courtesy. Plenty here won't even know who he is.]

I am Uchiha Itachi. [A polite bow of the head.] A few days from now, Trafalgar Law and I are going to be wed.

It will not be a large ceremony. We did not wish to involve half the village.

Just the closest people to us. [Itachi isn’t the only person feeling slightly awkward. Journal announcements have never been a favorite activity of Law either.] Though we did want everyone to know the good news. Thank you.

[Filtered 100% to Rin]

We were wondering if it would be alright with you if we host our wedding reception at Seventh Heaven on January 24th? Please let us know if you have any objections to this.

((Replies may come from either Itachi or Law, or both.))

Congratulations! I thought something went on with you two at Tony and Pepper's wedding...

[Voice]

[deathsdoctor]

Congratulations yourself! Gai told me all about the engagement. [There's a dip of his head and a slight crook of his lips. They really were obvious about it then.] You thought right. We did get engaged at the reception.

[voice]

[etherealblast]

[Oh man, and here he was giving Law more work to do with all that going on?] Congratulations.

[Maybe when he could get out of bed he'd find some way to get them a wedding gift... or make one. The least he could do.]

[voice]

[deathsdoctor]

Thank you. [Peril of the job, man.] Feeling a bit better today? [Siiince he's not currently in to check on his patient, he's just going to casually inquire about how things are going.]

[Voice]

[hollower]

[Now this is a bit...surprising. Perona had every intention to pass over this particular post entirely, but she had to pause when she saw Law's face, and actually tuned in. The message was surprising, and she paused with her one hand poised to turn the page of her journal, but she's stunned into just looking down at the little book and blinking dimly at it.

Wow, ah...huh. This was not something she was expecting at all. Law never pinged her as the type to like men, so she's a little surprised. It's not a bad thing and she really could care less, but it's just unexpected. Still, Perona can't help the airy chuckle she utters after a moment or two and leans her head on the back of one hand. A pirate, and one of the infamous Supernovas...getting married, of all things! My goodness, Luceti is just full of surprises, isn't it?]

...Enjoy your happiness, doctor.

[Voice]

[deathsdoctor]

[This is unexpected. It shows in the slight widening of his eyes. He didn't think she'd reply.

He misses her. But she doesn't remember, and if there's going to be a rekindling of the friendship they shared, it's just going to have to come naturally. The airy chuckle is just another reminder he's essentially dealing with a stranger now.]

... I intend to, Miss Perona.

[She doesn't know them well, but hey, happy announcements are happy announcements.]

Congratulations to the both of you.

[Written]

[deathsdoctor]

Thank you.

[fervidity]

[She opens her mouth to say congrats but something else bothers her. He's sort of involved the whole village by posting to the network. In any case.]

...You've already told Mikoto and Sasuke, right?

[Seems kind of wrong to make a big announcement to all of Luceti without telling those closest first.]

voice;

[yourhatred]

[Yes and it was awkward.]

... We have. We made sure they knew earlier.

[Voice]

[voidseeing]

I'd say 'congratulations,' but that would be redundant by now.

[He'd said it at the reception when he'd first found out, after all.]

[Voice]

[yourhatred]

Indeed.

But it is appreciated nonetheless.

[padme_amidala]

( It's wonderful to hear about joy and love in the village. Padmé can't help but respond, a small, warm smile on her lips. )

Congratulations. I wish you both the best and I hope the future in Luceti is bright for you.

( Video )

[yourhatred]

Thank you.

[Itachi bows his head to her politely.]

Your well-wishes are greatly appreciated.

[bonesandmore]

[Weddings in a place like this...he'll just keep all those thoughts to himself. Consider it a marriage present, Law. ]

Congratulations, Kids.

[deathsdoctor]

[Now how much older are you from Law's 27 years, McCoy? Not that it matters, because that is a generous wedding present and Law once again isn't going to comment how much he wishes not to be called a Kid.

Instead he smiles.]

It's much appreciated, Doctor McCoy. Thank you.

[frost_jewel]

Congratulations to both of you.

[She intended to say it anyway, because an invitation showed up among her things at the clinic; an announcement like this just makes it easier.]

[yourhatred]

Thank you. It is appreciated.

[Itachi doesn't know her very well, but he assumes Law does. That's good enough.]

[ MARRIED...

... God that's just wrong on so many levels, for someone to get married here. But really, that's their business, and he's just a chef at a diner. And he's going to do his best so-]

Uh, no. Yeah, that's fine - but that's pretty soon. D'y'know what sort of menu you want?

[ Filtered ]

[yourhatred]

I don't think it will matter too greatly. Something with a... Japanese touch, perhaps.

[Since that's the closest he can get to food from his own world.]

Law might have a better idea.

[ Voice ]

[generalflirt]

[ Wow. ]

'Grats.

[ He guesses. It would be rude to say otherwise ]

[ Voice ]

[deathsdoctor]

Thanks, Masaomi.

[... yeah. He knows what Masaomi likely thinks of this. Doesn't expect him to show up despite the invitation. But that's okay and he's okay with it. This is enough.]

[lostinmyway]

[Grune doesn't really know either Itachi or Law, except by sight, but that doesn't matter.]

You're getting married? How wonderful! Congratulations!

[Because there are very few things more beautiful than weddings in her books.]

[yourhatred]

We are.

[A nod of his head.]

It's been some time coming.

[believeit]

So you guys are really getting married huh! We got out invitations, we're definitely coming!

video;

[yourhatred]

We are.

And that's good. I would expect you to be there.

[He'll be rather put-out if you aren't.]

[derpivity]

[The announcement catches Minato by surprise, just a little. It's not secret to him that these two are in a relationship, but the announcement surprises him all the same.]

Congratulations, Itachi. I'm certain my family and I will not miss this occasion.

[yourhatred]

I couldn't imagine you would.

[A nod of his head.]

Thank you, Lord Hokage.
