Further Arrangements (Closed RP: John Adams, Crowley, Fay)

Letter from John Adams to Crowley:

Dear Sir:

I have been given to Understand that you are the sole possessor of alcoholic beverages in this Place. As such, you are within your Rights in a Free Market Economy to charge what you will for distributing them and I should like to inquire as to your Fee for one bottle of champagne. I have no money readily available, but I have been an Attorney for twenty years and any Services I may render, I should be glad to do so.

Your servant,
J. Adams


Letter from Crowley to John Adams:

Mr. Adams,

I do indeed have champagne at my disposal, as well as everything else I presently need or want, so I'm afraid I have no need of your services at the moment. Therefore, my price for the bottle is only that you satisfy my idle curiosity. What are you celebrating?

-Crowley


Letter from John Adams to Crowley:

Dear Sir:

If satisfying your curiosity is the Price I must pay, then it is the Price I must pay, though I must trust in your Honor as a Gentleman not to disclose what is a delicate matter. The drink is not for my sole Gratification, nor to celebrate any particular Event, but is intended to entertain a Lady.

Your servant,
J. Adams


Package from Crowley to John Adams consisting of two champagne glasses and a bottle of champagne with a card tied around its neck:

Give Susan a flourish for me. -Crowley

If handwriting can convey snarky, suggestive laughter, this handwriting does. John flushes to the roots of his hair, but puts the bottle away in the small white box that keeps things cold with a faint smile.


Letter from John Adams to Fay D. Flourite:

Dear Sir:

I have been given to Understand that you have been providing specialty foods to the people of this Place and I should like to inquire as to the Availability of such. I am, in particular, looking for simple picnic Fare appropriate to entertain a Lady in a romantic setting. I have no money readily available, but I have been an Attorney for twenty years and any Services I may render, I should be glad to do so.

Your servant,
J. Adams

There was, of course, that possibility...

"As I mentioned, I don't yet know what the law of the land states or even if there is one, so I will certainly check with Mr. Mouse on your behalf."

Grinning in recognition of a fellow lover, John bowed. "And may I be the first to congratulate you and your young lady."

((You haven't...? Oh, right. Not American. XD Well, I still highly recommend it! It makes politics interesting and reminds me that even though my country may be doing incredibly stupid things right now, the tenets it was founded on are sound. And he makes funny faces and sings. :D))

[whistlingwizard.livejournal.com]

Fay bowed again, formally, and said, "Thank you, Adams-san! Mouse-sama seems like a fair enough leader to me, so I will respect whatever he decides." He could still get pissy, but he would respect the Mouse's decision.

"..." Then the mage giggled even more, hand over his mouth to try and muffle the sound. "Silly~," he chuckled. "Kuro-rin is a man!" The thought of Kurogane as a woman was hilarious, though slightly disturbing.

((Nope! 8D Welsh. I don't know if it's available over here, I'll have to look. And singing rulers? Wins so much. Seriously, what do we get? Just lots of wars and waving and stuff :/))

[john-adams-1776.livejournal.com]

Making a mental note to write to Mickey, John's mind was otherwise engaged when Fay said that Kurogane was a man. Which could explain the very long pause, the slow blink, and the, "I beg your pardon?"

((Here (http://www.amazon.co.uk/1776-Dir-Sub-REGION-NTSC/dp/B000067D1R/ref=pd_bbs_2/026-1665743-2547607?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1177386152&sr=8-2) is the only thing I found, but I don't think the movie ever came out in PAL or Region 2 format, so unless you have a multi-region player, I don't think you can watch it. :p))

[whistlingwizard.livejournal.com]

Still looking rather amused, Fay repeated slowly, "Kuro-piyuu is a man." He had one eyebrow raised just slightly, silently asking if there was a problem with this.

((Last time it wasn't the DVD that was being silly, it was the TV, not wanting to accept the new colours XD But we have a new TV! Also, *dying at the icon and its keywords*))

[john-adams-1776.livejournal.com]

"You wish to marry another man," John reiterated flatly.

He wasn't necessarily opposed to the idea; more that it had never before crossed his mind. It wasn't like there were a lot of out queers in the New England colonies (or any) but who knew what they got up to down South...

"Why?"

((*giggle* Oh, wait for the next one. :D And for the record, this version of John is straight and has not done every man in Congress. Take that look_sharp.))

[whistlingwizard.livejournal.com]

Fay nodded. "Only Kuro-pon," he added, hoping it would help his case.

The next question just got a very blank look. "Because I love him," Fay said, as if talking to someone who was very slow and failing to get a simple concept. "And I want to stay with him forever. Are there any other reasons for getting married?"

((I now know to expect the best from Adams 8D And... every man in Congress? Won't he get pretty tired?))

[john-adams-1776.livejournal.com]

John shook his head, slightly disbelieving. "No, that's a fine reason to be married. But you wouldn't wish to marry a woman instead? That way you could have..." sex, "...children." Which, granted, was an important consideration in John's time and place. He'd had six, though only four of them had lived.

But maybe Fay didn't want children. Perhaps he wanted to marry this Kuro-person-whose-name-kept-changing for another reason, like protection if his chosen partner were very large or strong.

((hee! Um, I don't pretend to understand those fangirls who would slash the men of Congress... They're old! And not gay! And were real people! It's all vaguely squicky, really.))

[whistlingwizard.livejournal.com]

Fay shook his head slowly. "I don't love a woman," he said. "I love Kuro-koi. And I have children," (and sex), "already! There's Chii and Sakura-chan and Syaoran-kun! And Kuro-pii has promised me that when we get to Nihon - that's his country - and our current children grow up, we can adopt more!" He smiled, absolutely ecstatic with this prospect.

Fay did want children. But much, much more than that, he wanted to be with Kurogane.

((:/ Word. RL slash freaks me out rather a lot.))

[john-adams-1776.livejournal.com]

"You've adopted three children together?" John asked. "Well, that certainly lends credence to the depth of your attachment and commitment. Very well, Mr. Fay. I will look into the legality of a marriage for you and your betrothed gentleman." Whatever his name might be. He figured he'd find out sometime.

[whistlingwizard.livejournal.com]

It was proof of how Fay had, for lack of a better word, matured in Disneyland that he didn't skip over to hug John, and merely clapped his hands and trilled, "Thank you so much, Adams-san!" He was trying to think of a way to repay him, when he remembered John was doing this to pay Fay and it wasn't the other way round.

"Ah, the food!" he said, making his way towards the kitchen. "Adams-san, will you help me pack it up?"

[john-adams-1776.livejournal.com]

The hugging might have been awkward, yes, but John smiled at Fay's clear happiness.

"Certainly, sir. How may I assist?" And he followed him into the back.


((Fade to black?))

[whistlingwizard.livejournal.com]

((Okey-dokey! 8D That was fun. Thank you for letting Fay join in the plot *hugs*))

[john-adams-1776.livejournal.com]

((My pleasure! Fay is fun. :D I'll get back to you on that marriage certificate. It'd be fun to have a wedding in the park!))

((And Disney allow it too! It all works XD))
