Ornia's and Assaf's wedding I

[coon.27@osu.edu (Steve Coon)]

This log is the summation of several spliced logs.  This first part is from
Justine's point of view when she and Ornia are getting ready, next is from
Steffan's point of view during the same  time period.   They overlap a
little at the end since Steffan didn't see everything just before he
escorted Ornia in.  The last part is then from Steffan.



 ORNIA

A young woman with dark hair that is cut short to give her a softer, yet
more mature appearance about her. Her slender, creamy white face
accentuates her dark brown eyes, helping emit a youthful appearance. She
moves lightly with the grace of a cat as her small framed body is only
about 5' and looks delicate in comparison to others about her. Her now
nearly matured body speaks of womanly curves that are still meager but
developed fully now.

Ornia is wearing a ivory white wedding gown. The bodice is adorned with
appliqués covered in sequins, pearls and beads that is fitted with a
dropped waistline, and a full skirt and train. The sleeves are sheer at the
shoulders with detailed appliqués and beadwork and are fitted along the
forearm in the same white satin extending to a point at the wrist with the
same exquisite beadwork. The back of the dress is spectacular. The back
closure consists of 35 cloth covered buttons with loops. The appliqués and
beadwork appear along the back which comes to a V at the waist just as the
front does. At the back waist is the first of four bows which cascade down
the back of the train. Each bow is accented with strands of pearls and
beads. The skirt and train also have appliqués and beadwork from waist to
hem. On her head is a Veil head piece that has a V shaped tiara that comes
onto her forehead. From the tiara is a 3 tier lace veil with one hanging to
cover her face and all of it an ivory white.

JUSTINE

You look upon a rather tall young woman. Long waves of honey blonde hair
are pulled up and back behind her head, held in place with an elegant clip
with the crest of the Garamond upon it. Gentle waves of hair emerge from
the clip and cascade softly down over her back and bare shoulder. Small
golden strands from the sides curl up, forming a soft frame beneath her
delicate jaw line. Her ears hold short, thin, golden chains, each with
several small pears on the ends, and her right ear is accented with a
single sparkling ruby earring. Her high-boned cheeks are flushed with a
hint of red that compliments their warm natural glow. Ice blue eyes shine
brightly, providing a sharp, intelligent focus to her features.

She wears a breathtaking Royal Blue satin gown with floral laceing on the
bodice and an asymmetric silk skirt falling to mid-calf in the front but
the back remains long, with a short train following behind her. The upper
back is open but for a set of criss-crossed straps holding the bodice snug
against her bosom, giving her ample breasts a slight boost. The shoes are
dyed to match the color of the dress and has a one inch heel on them.

Just above her left breast is a small bandage that has been colored to try
to match her dress. She seems a bit pale, weak and tired but tries hard to
hide it all.

============================================================================
========



Justine smiles softly, yet sadly at you as she helps put on your veil and
quietly says, "You look positively radiant, Ornia."

Ornia swallows and turns to look at you "Justine are you going to be ok?"

Justine's head nods a little, her features still a bit pale from the past
few days. She offers a crooked smile and softly says, "I should be fine,
just a bit tired is all. Don't worry about me, today is your special day."

Ornia nods just slowly and even pulls back the front of the veil as it
seems to annoy her "Well I just want you to be happy too Justine that is
all." she then trys to smile as bit as she is quite nervous.

Justine moves over to a chair and slowly lowers herself into it, releasing
a quiet sigh as she does. She looks to you, nodding some, "I know, Ornia
and believe me, it's what I want too. I'm trying, I honestly am."

Ornia smiles and just starts to pace as she seems to just wait "Well I am
not going to force you as I am steffan. I am tryign to get him to open up
to you."

Justine's head shakes back and forth, "Please don't, Ornia. If it's not
what he wants, then what's the point in forcing him?"

Ornia pauses and just nods "I knwo he wants it, he just needs to learn to
show it." she smiles lightly at you "Justine he only had me about him for
so long that he does not understand how to open up."

Justine sighs tiredly as she brings her hand to her head and rubs it,
"Please, Ornia. I really don't want to discuss this right now." She smiles
to you, "Besides, this is /your/ day. It's supposed to be filled with
grandous joy. Tell me of the plans you and Assaf have made."

Ornia nods and just moves close "Well really we are takeing this one step
at a time really Justine, I am not sure what he will wish to do after the
reception, but I am hopeing that we both spend some tiem with each other,
before he must rush back to his services."

Justine blinks in surprise at you, "You don't know what you're doing?" Her
head shakes, "Ornia, why haven't you planned this out before?"

Ornia looks strait at you and smiles "Because I really wanted to see how
much he cares for me." she smiles a good bit.

Justine's brows furrow, "What does that have to do with your future with
him, Ornia? You don't even know what you're doing after the reception.
Don't you know where you two will go for the evening? Are you going on a
honeymoon? Where will you both live?"

Ornia smiles "We have that planned out for tonight and then yes a honeymoon
is planned." she just starts to pace again, the questioning makeing her
more nervous.

Justine watches you pace and shakes her head slightly at her friend, still
so young and naive, not having a clue what's really in store for her. She
frowns at bit at her thoughts, as she knows the truth but not able to tell
Ornia, why should her friend have to suffer like she is? No, she can't do
that to her. She then tries to offer a supportive smile and softly says,
"Everything will work out just fine, Ornia. I'm sorry for questioning you
like I did. I guess the Emperor is right, I just expect too much." She
leans back in her chair and crosses her legs, "I remember the stories my
mother used to read to me when I was a little girl to put me to sleep.
Stories of young, handsome Lords coming and sweeping me off my feet and
living happily ever after. You'd think that at my age, I would have learned
by now that they are just that....stories."

Ornia pauses in her paceing and trys to sit down herself, but just ends up
getting up again and fidgets with the front of her dress as she then looks
at you "I hope so." she just looks all nervous now "And Justine I am
allways here for you please remember that."

Justine nods some, softly replying, "I know you are, Ornia and I am always
here for you as well." Her hand comes up to her chest and places it over
the colored bandage, "Always here for you."

Ornia smiles now as she watches you and just continues to pace about the room.

Justine chuckles lightly as she watches you pace and then says, "Careful,
or you'll wear a hole in that carpet. I'm not sure if the Lord Bashir would
be pleased."

Ornia giggles a bit and then pauses as she looks to the door "I just am not
sure what to expect out there."

Justine glances to the door and then back to you with a smile, "Expect
every eye to be on you, looking at you in complete awe and amazement of
your beauty. Expect tears of joy and happiness and a lot of hugging and
curtseying." She then chuckles, "And dancing...."

Ornia blinks and seems just a bit shocked and just gasps "Oh my..."

Justine's brows furrow in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Ornia smiles "Just all of the things to come is all." she moves near you
and hugs you lightly

Justine hugs you gently and whispers, "It's scarey, I know but it will be
just fine. And if, for some reason, it isn't, at least you have a home to
go to. But Assaf is a good man and he will do right by you, I know he
will."

Ornia just nods and smiles as she now paces and waits

Justine sighs as she looks down to her timepiece, wondering when things are
going to begin. She leans back in the chair and closes her eyes, trying to
get some rest before the main event.

There is a quiet knock on the door, jerking Justine back to reality. She
looks to Ornia and holds up a hand, "Stay there." She then moves to the
door and cracks it, "Yes?" A slave bows to Justine and hands her a note, "A
note for Lady Justine Lear." Justine smirks and snatches the note out of
the slaves hand, snapping, "It's Garamond, but thank you." And then shuts
the door.

You receive a note from a young slave girl, it reads. "To the Lady Justine,
I need to speak to you on your test results. There is nothing to worry
about yet, but please take it as easy as possible, and if you need me, I
shall be in the front row. Yuri"

Ornia glances at you as she again starst to fidget with her dress

Justine grumbles irritably and then sits back in her chair and unfolds the
note, glancing over it. Her eyes roll as she balls up the note and tosses
it in the trash, "Don't worry, it's nothing."

Ornia loosk to the note and just seems very concerned

Justine offers a reassuring smile and says, "Ornia, it's okay, honestly.
Just a stupid reminder to take it easy, is all. And I'm doing that, aren't
I?"

Ornia nods with a smile and if she does nto stop her fidigeting she may
start to ruin the dress

Justine chuckles quietly, "Ornia, you really should try to relax. You'll
ruin your beautiful dress if you don't."

Ornia looks over at you and just pulsl her hands to her sides and just
starts to pace a bit again

Justine leans back in her chair onces more and closes her eyes.

Justine's communicator beeps a couple of times, signaling it's time. She
stands and looks to Ornia with a smile, "That's our cue. Are you ready?"

Ornia blinks and turns to look at you"I guess so." she moves to give you a
quick hug

Justine returns the hug gently and then opens the door for you.

Ornia walks to the north and passes through the Golden Doors.

Ornia has left.

You walk through the Golden Doors.

Salon -- Bajazet Embassy (Kaitain)

Open and airy, the private salon is a space geared towards creature
comforts. The expanse of tiled floor is strewn with a kaleidoscope of Kilim
carpets, soft and warm underfoot. Several ornate CHAIRS are grouped with
mother-of-pearl inlaid side tables, and a cluster of rainbow hued cushions,
offering a quiet spot to unwind and chat. In the center of the salon is a
long low ebony table, surrounded by more colorful tassel-trimmed cushions.
Candles, several games, and a CHESS SET are strewn casually across the
table's surface, a gem-studded brass lantern hangs above, providing ample
light. Hammered bronze braziers are interspersed through the various
groupings of furniture, their glowing coals easing the sting of chilly
nights.

kiss on your cheek and whispers, "For luck. Remember to breathe." She winks
and then turns and walks into the Tulip Court.

Ornia watches you go and smiles nervously

You walk through the Arched Doors.

Tulip Court -- Bajazet Embassy (Kaitain)

A large arcade runs around the outer perimeter of this majestic, open
aired, inner garden court. The garden itself is divided by two bisecting
paths that quarters the space into quadrants. The BEDS are carefully laid
out in precise geometric shapes, and smaller pathways interspersed between
the beds in each quadrant, themselves, form a larger geometric pattern.
Several small tiled mosaic POOLS are placed symmetrically throughout the
garden, and are filled with fish that dart just below the water's surface.

As you walk into the Tulip Garden, you notice how festive the area is for
this special occassion. Banners displaying House Bajazet, House Ginaz and
House Korash fly proudly in the brisk breeze, assorted flowers floating on
lily pads in the water and colorful streamers strung throughout the gardens
make it truly awe inspiring.

Assaf stands with his back to the doors and does not notice Justine or
anybody else besides the Imam

suprised to see Justine but gives her a warm smile none the less

Steffan walks to the west and passes through the Arched Doors.

Steffan has left.

Hesakaya takes up a place according to his standing, his smile still
bright, his eyes taking in the entire room.

Satyavrat glances over, noting Justine's presence with passing interest.

Justine steps into the Tulip Court, holding a small bouquet of flowers in
her hands. She holds a small smile on her face, yet you can see some
sadness behind it as she gradually makes her way down the aisle, one step
at a time. When she reaches the alter area, she moves off to the side and
then looks back to the doors.

Mikhail casts a covert glance at Justine, the colour seems to drain from
his face a bit.

Satyavrat notes Mikhail's action and leans to whisper something to him.

Mikhail nods curtly at Satyavrat remaining silent.

Satyavrat's brow remains furrowed at Mikhail's response, but he returns his
attention to the Imam.

Ornia walks in from Salon through the Arched Doors.

Ornia has arrived.

Cromwell looks intently at Justine, making carfull observations of her
condition as she passes.

Yuri smiles and almost stands, but sees none of the others standing so doesn't.

Justine's eyes seem locked on what's ahead of her, not making eye contact
with anyone.

Steffan walks in from Salon through the Arched Doors.

The music suddenly stops playing it's tune when Ornia enters the tulip
garden. They smile to her and then begin to play a bridal processional in
her honor. Once she reaches the alter, the music stops so that the ceremony
can take place.

Cromwell rises to his feet as the processional begins.

Yuri keeps a watchful eye on Justine, as if something might happen and
seems ready in case.

Haroon rises in his chair and looks across at Ornia as she enters and folds
his hands in front of him.

Ornia moves really slowly with Steffan her she looks with just her eyes at
those gathered from under the veil.

Mikhail rises from his seat.

Satyavrat's eyes follow Ornia down the aisle, but he continues to cast
glances to Justine and Mikhail every so often. He rises slowly from his
seat at teh beginning of the processional.

Haroon moves forwards to take a place by Assaf before the altar. He claps
him on the shoulder.

Yuri stands amd smiles brightly as Ornia passes.

Assaf nods to Haroon and he stands before the Imam, waiting for Ornia to
arrive down the aisle.

Steffan walks down the isle with Ornia hand and hand as he approaches Assaf
and the priest. He then offers her hand to him, lifts her veil, give her a
kiss on her cheek. He smiles to the both of them and sits down in the front
row.

Imam sighs and glances at Haroon. "Indeed you have been too long on Kaitain
that you forget the customs of your people my Regent. The Dowry or Bridal
payment. The Husband must offer somthing to the bride for what she herself
offers."

Haroon shakes his head in irritation "No.. not the tradition, the value of
it... she should receive it."

Assaf lets Haroon and Steffan sort it out.

Imam sighs "My apologies m'lord. I have not spoken Galach in some time.
Were I to judge properly by her station m'lords a sum is indeed ordained.
It can be sorted later however."

Steffan shruggs, "whatever is equitable. Im sure we can come to terms with
it later.."

Satyavrat stands over a pool, regarding some darting fish with a sour
expression. He pops the last of his appetizer into his mouth, unloading his
plate on a nearby servant, turning to notice the newcomers.

Cromwell sees the grooms party enter and takes a seat.

Mikhail drops lightly into a seat and waits patiently.

Satyavrat brushes some crumbs from his mouth and walks over to Mikhail,
taking a seat on his right.

Yuri returns to his seat near the front , he seems a bit more relaxed as he
is seated.

Haroon takes a seat at the front and folds one leg over the other, his
spurs jingling.

Cromwell rises to his feet as the processional begins.

Yuri keeps a watchful eye on Justine, as if something might happen and

Haroon rises in his chair and looks across at Ornia as she enters and folds
his hands in front of him.

Ornia moves really slowly with Steffan her she looks with just her eyes at
those gathered from under the veil.

Mikhail rises from his seat.

Satyavrat's eyes follow Ornia down the aisle, but he continues to cast
glances to Justine and Mikhail every so often. He rises slowly from his
seat at teh beginning of the processional.

Haroon moves forwards to take a place by Assaf before the altar. He claps
him on the shoulder.

Yuri stands amd smiles brightly as Ornia passes.

Assaf nods to Haroon and he stands before the Imam, waiting for Ornia to
arrive down the aisle.

Steffan walks down the isle with Ornia hand and hand as he approaches Assaf
and the priest. He then offers her hand to him, lifts her veil, give her a
kiss on her cheek. He smiles to the both of them and sits down in the front
row.

The Imam begins the ceremony by reciting the opening surah "In the name of
God, the most compassionate, most merciful.
 All the praises and thanks be to God, the Lord of the Alamin.
The most gracious, most merciful.
THe only owner of the day of recompense.
You alone we worship, and you alone we ask for help.
 Guide us to the straight way.
 The way of those on whom you have bestowed your grace, and not of those
who have earned your anger, nor of those who went astray."

Ornia steps up onto the alter after the kiss from Steffan and then stands
there holding onto Assaf's hand

Justine's eyes slide to Steffan briefly as he gives Ornia away, a sad frown
on her face before she turns to Imam, listening to the ceremony.

Haroon lets his gaze stray off into reverie.

Assaf smiles at the Imam and takes Ornia's hand

Steffan peers at Justine breifly as he sits, and then focuses his attention
on the priest.
The Imam pauses for a brief moment after finishing his recitation, but
quickly continues, "Lord Assaf Kuperschmid, do you swear infront of Allah
and these witnesses that you take the Lady Lear as your wife without any
coercion from either your family or her own?"

Justine's head lowers to the bouquet of flowers in her hands, eyes closing
briefly before inhaling slowly and looking back to Imam. Obviously, the
words he just spoke affected her.

Assaf pauses for a few seconds before answering the question, he looks at
Haroon, then at Ornia and the back at the Imam, "In the name of Allah, I
do."

The Imam directs his attention now to the Lady Lear, "Do you Lady Ornia
Lear swear infront of Allah and these witnesses that you take Lord
Kuperschmid as your husband without any coercion from his family or your
own?"

Satyavrat runs his fingers through his hair in a mildly frustrated manner.

Ornia swallows a good bit and then with just a small nods she says softly
"I do." sh eloosk now directly at Assaf.

Yuri notices Justine's reaction and seems to tense up slightly.

The Imam smiles warmly at the couple and nods seeming satisfied with the
given answers, he places Ornia's hand In Assaf's and says "What Allah has
created let no man tear asunder. With the blessing of Allah before all
assembled, Ornia Lear and Assaf Kuperschmid shall be known as husband and
wife now and forever."

Justine forces a smile to the couple, a few tears slide down her cheeks and
one might mistake it for tears of joy.

Assaf turns to look at Ornia, he takes both her hands into his and smiles

Ornia smiles a good bit brightly and just holds to Assaf's hands tightly now.

Mikhail glances at Justine once more, the expression on his face a
carefully placed mask of neutrality.

Assaf leans over and kisses Ornia.

Haroon lets a smile flood his face at the confirmation.

Yuri keeps a watchful eye on Justine his face seems calm espicaly those
emotionless eyes.
Hesakaya buries his face in a hand and shakes his head.

The Bajazet band begins to play a merry, celebratory tune in honor of the
blessed union. Slaves come out from their hiding places and begin to throw
tulip petals in the air.
Cherry blossom starts to fall from the windows around the tulip court,
thrown by slaves, and the musicians at the back strike up as the crowd
smiles and applauds its approval.

Steffan beams as he looks at Ornia and Assaf.

Satyavrat smiles pleasently, turning to look at the slaves up in the
windows. He redirects his attention to the newlyweds, applauding.

Yuri stands and applaudes, miling at the new couple.

Assaf places his hand around Ornia's waist and calls out, "Thank you all
for being here, I hope that you can rejoice with us in the Hall of
Sultans."

Yuri stands and applaudes, smiling at the new couple.

Cromwell smiles and applauds
Ornia looks about for just a bit, but she seems most content to just stand
there and be with Assaf.
Assaf walks to the west and passes through the Arched Doors.
Assaf has left.
Hesakaya applauds politely, a stern eye on his lord.

Mikhail rises from his seat and begins to walk towards the hall.
Ornia walks to the west and passes through the Arched Doors.
Ornia has left.
Satyavrat rises slowly, turning around to take in another look of the
Garden. He then follows Mikhail out.
Haroon grins from ear to ear in what could be happiness or relief
The now thuroughly doped up Dowager claps with little coordination but
seems very happy.
Mikhail walks to the west and passes through the Arched Doors.
Mikhail has left.
Satyavrat walks to the west and passes through the Arched Doors.
Satyavrat has left.

Justine watches the two walk back towards the Embassy and then looks down
at the bouquet in her hands before turning and heading to one of the
benches nearby, sitting down.

Yuri slowly approaches Justine, "Are you OK, my lady?"

A lithe young slaveboy escorts the dowager to a sitting position on one of
the benches, where her head slumps down onto her chest.

Steffan smiles and stands and starts walking towards the hall.
