In which a marital experiment is arranged

Portius

So, Portius is engaged now. And he said things during the engagement process which may or may not be amusing.


You tell Symphonist Allyrianne, Aethereal Melody, "Ah, my dear. I wonder if I
could persuade you meet up with me when you have a moment?"

Allyrianne tells you, "Certainly. Where would you like to meet?"

You tell Symphonist Allyrianne, Aethereal Melody, "The Matrix shall serve our
purposes quite admirably, I think."

You have emoted: Execumatrix Magnificus Portius Windwhisper, Librarian of the
Collective smiles unusually widely at Allyrianne.

You say, "It is, as always, a great pleasure to see you."

Symphonist Allyrianne, Aethereal Melody approaches a little rapidly smiling,
although some attempt is made to appear nonchalant.

Symphonist Allyrianne, Aethereal Melody smiles and says, "It is very good to see
you as well."

You say, "I need your help with a matter of great urgency, if you will give it.
I need an aide for an experiment."

Symphonist Allyrianne, Aethereal Melody says, "An experiment! How very
intriguing. I would be delighted to assist."

You say, "It is a most intruiging matter. I was hoping to observe and analyze
all of the changes that happen in a man's life when he gets married. For that,
however, I need a wife. Would you do me the honor of taking that most crucial of
roles?"

You get down on one knee and, while holding forth an avian wedding band of
morning-gold filigree, you declare your eternal love for Allyrianne, and ask her
to marry you.

Allyrianne, with a look of utter joy on her face, accepts your proposal of
marriage.

After a moment of simply nodding and smiling, Symphonist Allyrianne, Aethereal
Melody says, "I would be -most- delighted to assist in this experiment, so long
as it is with you."

You say, "I am pleased to here it. I am sure it will be a most pleasurable
experiment."

Symphonist Allyrianne, Aethereal Melody laughingly says, "I look forward to it.
Have you any changes to record so far?"


You say, "Previous feelings of nervousness fade. There is a sublime feeling of
happiness, although that may be tied to your acceptance of the proposal rather
than being a permanent state caused by marriage. More observation is necessary."

You say, "And I suppose we are not technically married until we have had the
Lady or Her delegate say a few words."

Turning the proffered ring over in her fingers to examine more closely,
Symphonist Allyrianne, Aethereal Melody says, "That is true. Oh, but this is
lovely!"

Allyrianne slips into an avian wedding band of morning-gold filigree.

You say, "I shall wear the matching ring, so that all people may know that we
are bound by the ties of both love and experimental procedure."

You slip into an avian wedding band of morning-gold filigree.

profound bond shared by two lives joined in perfect harmony. Finespun
filigree weaves elaborately over the ring's morning-gold veneer in
relief, coalescing into the graceful wirework shapes of a superb
fairywren and nightingale; their dainty forms exist nestled closely to
one another, perched lightly upon the efflorescing stalk of a
bird-of-paradise bloom. Polished shards of black onyx, storm-grey
sapphire, and iridescent blue opal have been inlaid amidst the filaments
composing the minuscule avians, evocative of the birds' charmingly-hued
mantles. Glittering grey and teal-blue tints enliven both the wings and
crest of the fairywren bird, whereas the subtler nuances of midnight's
embrace ensconce the plumage of the nightingale. Beneath them, the
flower remains a subtle aurulent hue, the strands of gold composing its
tapered petals seeming to capture the ambient light, rendering it a
vessel for dawn's gentle skeins of liquid gold.
It weighs 2 ounce(s).
It bears the distinctive mark of Chancellor Entrias Pavok, Maintenance Engineer.
It has been stamped with the seal of White Wind.
NOTE: THIS WAS DESIGNED BY ZYPHORA, WHO IS GREAT AND WONDERFUL AND STUFF.


Allyrianne beams broadly at you.


(The Grand Salon): You say, "If You are listening, Lady, You should be made
aware that I am engaged."

(Order): Zyphora (from the Aetherways) says, "Congratulations, dear Portius and
Allyrianne."

(Order): You say, "Thank you, cousin. You need never plot or scheme to see me
wed ever again."

(Order): Allyrianne says, "Thank you, dear cousin to be."

Allyrianne gives a trillingly melodic laugh.

Symphonist Allyrianne, Aethereal Melody laughingly says, "No, no more plotting
needed to see you wed. Your cousins will have to find someone else to benefit
from their scheming."

(Order): Zyphora (from the Aetherways) says, "Very good, Portius. Now I shall
move on to governing Irillia's love life, or perhaps those of my daughters to
be."

Symphonist Allyrianne, Aethereal Melody says, "Of which she is apparently not
short of candidates.

You say, "Quite so. May they not grow quite so paranoid as I."
