Gemini Video | UN: Lunae

WHO: Space Danmeis and y'all!
WHERE: Gemini Network
WHEN: End of July
WHAT: Dan Heng has an exciting announcement to make!
WARNINGS: Blade. No I'm kidding no warnings here~

[Dan Heng is making a very rare post on the Gemini network today. He's aware that the timing could be better, but he's hoping that the news can do something to lift some spirits. Give them something new to focus on other than everything that happened during those cursed games.

Blade and Jing Yuan are... somewhere off camera. However, Cirrus the Altaria is cheerfully humming right behind him and Qinglong the Dragonair is casually acting like a scarf around Dan Heng's shoulders.]

Hello. I... have something of an announcement to make.

[He's a little nervous, but he's trying. Dan Heng doesn't really do big personal updates like this so publicly. However... he's the only normal one of the trio. So this is how it has to be.]

A lot of friends and family are on this app, and this is just more... expedient. [A beat.] Blade, Jing Yuan, and I are currently engaged.

[Dan Heng then holds up his hand to show the ring with a diamond moon on his finger. Although it's shy, there's a smile on his face.]

We haven't decided on a date for the wedding yet. We're just enjoying the engagement at the moment. Ah... all three of us are here to answer questions.

[Yes, he's involving both of his fiances in this. He's not doing this entirely alone, damn it!]

[First, Caleb somehow managed to get a confetti popper and pops it on video. Don't ask where he got it, you probably do not want to know.]

Congrats, Dan Heng! Is the wedding going to be in Kaisou or Boston or somewhere else entirely?

[And that, for some reason, gives Caleb pause. He frowns and then, very genuinely:]

Do you guys need me to walk Blade down the aisle since Kafka isn't here?

[And he doesn't know where Blade's family is in this life.]

[heng_like_a_dragon]

[His sanity will thank him to not ask where Caleb got that.]

I believe we're going to have it in Kaisou. My family would be willing to fly here for it.

[.......................................]

We... haven't decided yet. My mother has expressed a desire to walk me down the aisle, though it's hard to tell if she was joking or serious. Or both. It's going to be part of the planning.

[actnormal]

Ooh, gotcha. Lemme know if you guys do need me for anything, okay?

[A beat.]

How can she be serious and joking at the same time?

[onahairtrigger]

Oh, shit, congrats to all three of you!

[heng_like_a_dragon]

Thank you, Josuke. I've already told Professor Oak and Wisteria as well. I'm... quite excited.

[Even if it's in his customary, understated way.]

[!!!]

Dan Heng doing the announcement really makes it something special! [There's that sort of irritating lit in his voice saying that but it was true. Dan Heng wasn't exactly a post his life kind of guy. Or a social kind of guy.]

Congratulations all three of you. I'm glad you and Yuan'er found each other and Blade again and can make each other so happy.

[heng_like_a_dragon]

The last time Blade made any sort of announcement, it was an unmitigated disaster, and Jing Yuan is... mischievous. I was truthfully the only one who could.

[Such is the life of their moon wife. Still, he smiles genuinely at Wuxian.]

Thank you, Wei Wuxian. I don't believe it would have happened as well as it did without your timely shove with Jing Yuan.

[ Lapis has been a little stressed about these new gates popping up, but hearing this is more than enough to get her to perk up. ]

Oh, congrats! That's wonderful news, I'm so happy for you guys.

[ While unseen, there is the gentle 'thump-thump' as her tail wags against the floor. ]

And that ring is beautiful too.

[heng_like_a_dragon]

[Dan Heng smiles at her.]

Thank you, Lapis. I think I'll let Blade tell you the engagement story. It should be quite amusing.

[Heh.]

It's one of Blade's finest works, I do agree. He told me that he enchanted it with the power to heal, which I'm extremely grateful for. While I have knowledge of how to use magic to heal, I simply do not have that power anymore. This is a boon I didn't think I would get again.

[Blade looks a little flustered, but happy, judging by the angle of his fluffy pomsky ears and the not-so-distant sound of whapwhapwhapwhapwhap against his chair.]

Thank you, mèimei.

I tried to make it a big proposal, but Dan Heng turned it right back around on me... He is just as competitive as I am, even if he doesn't like to admit it.

[!!!!]

Ah, congratulations you three! I had a feeling this would be coming soon, so I'm really happy for you!

[You three radiate marriage ok]

And that ring is beautiful! I assume Blade made it?

[heng_like_a_dragon]

Thank you very much, Jun. The plan went off without a hitch. Blade decided to make the proposal as part of my birthday celebration, but I turned it around on both of them.

[He's very proud of himself. But it's true that the three of them radiate married throuple.]

Blade did. He even enchanted it. Mine grants me the power to heal, which I'm eternally grateful for. It's a power that once belonged to my predecessors, but has since been lost. I had the knowledge, just not the power to use that knowledge.

[trailblazingspirit]

Wait, wait, wait, are you telling me that when the General picked you up mid-stream last week and called you his fiancé he wasn't joking?!

[A beat.]

Dan Heng!! Congratulations! Do you want to see the Pinterest board I made for your wedding?

video but maybe also action because they do live together

[actnormal]

March, why do you have a Pinterest board for their wedding already?

[heng_like_a_dragon]

That's correct. I'd already proposed to both of them by then.

[Poor March.

Still, he can't help smiling.]

Thank you, March. I'd love to see it, though I'm surprised you completed it so fast.

[pranas]

I am hurt you didn't believe me, Miss March.

[ you can't be hurt when you're sitting there with a literal :3 face, Jing Yuan. ]

[unreachableside]

Jing Yuan would rather leave something out than lie.

I saw the board. It's a ten out of ten.

[He's... not really sure he has much of a right to say anything— considering they really haven't spoken much, and Noah doesn't want to overstep. Still, he feels it'd be impolite to not say anything.]

Congratulations, Dan Heng. Both to you, and your fiancés. I hope the wedding planning is stress-free and without any sort of troubles.

[Because god knows how much of a Disaster(TM) things can get— he's seen it firsthand.]

[heng_like_a_dragon]

Thank you, Noah. I truly appreciate that. I'm hoping to have a small ceremony for close friends and family, and then the reception can be for everyone else to join in the celebration. We'll see how that goes. I'm genuinely hoping that it's not a nightmare to plan.

[God knows that Dan Heng is probably going to be the one actually planning it.]

[illucesco]

Congrats. That's a really lovely ring, Dan Heng.

Best advice I've got, as someone who almost got married in my last life, is—venue's a lot more important than you think.

[heng_like_a_dragon]

Thank you, Noctis.

[Dan Heng hums at that.]

I agree. One of my past lives also married someone, but it wasn't public for many reasons. We'll be carefully choosing the venue for both ceremony and reception. And perhaps make preparations for inclement weather, just in case.

[droptheious]

[Oh my god yes?? This is fantastic news!!! Varian's absolutely beaming when Dan Heng finishes his announcement. ]

Congratulations you guys!!! This is amazing, I'm so happy for you all! [That ring sure is a sight too! ] Hah, I know Blade's handiwork when I see it- did he make all of them?

[ He already knows the answer is "yes" - he knows. ]

[unreachableside]

Thank you. It's... exciting. [He's taken a brief moment to eat lunch with the others, though that doesn't keep him from spinning his chair slightly back and forth while he sits in it.] Last time—or rather, last life—we had to keep things quiet for several reasons. Now we can live freely, and that means a lot to us.

Hah, of course I did. And then, somehow, Dan Heng went around behind me and stole the other two so he could propose at the same time.

A dragon's ego doesn't allow him to place second, I think.

[bebest]

OH!!!! MY!!!! GOOSE!!!

YAAAAAAAAAAS!!! You beautiful people, look what you did!!!! [He's clapping his hands in excitement! ] AND YOU DID IT THE NON-MOOGLE WAY TOO! I'm totes trying to make them understand how to do it PROPERLY but it's a work in progress. Besides, this is GREAT. Gives us more time to plan the BEST wedding ever- the more time you give it, the better the wedding party is, right!

AHHHHHH CONGRATS YOU GUYYYYYYS!!!

[unreachableside]

[His ears pin for a moment. He's happy, but a little embarrassed by all the gushing.] I don't want to think about what would have happened if the moogles knew I had been working on rings. Thankfully I moved my forge back into town, but they are welcome to chase the memory of me right down into the second Hylian sinkhole if they like.

[Stupid yapping flying rats.]

I'll... leave the planning to people who have a knack for that sort of thing. Just let me know if I need to build anything.
