Video 🔥❄️ A Special Announcement
Type: Video
Sender ID: Clive Rosfield (gruffier) and Jill Warrick (tilfrosset)
To: Public to everyone!
Subject: The two lovebirds have something important they'd like to say.
Warnings: They're being disgusting. Seriously.
[The feed opens to a blurry image of poorly jostled movements. Sounds of rattling scraping against the speaker of the shellphone indicates an attempt to prop it against something solid. Finally, after a few more moments (got to get the angle just right!) the image clears, revealing not one- but two faces on the other side of the screen.
Clive and Jill, at your service!]
Good day, everyone. [Clive begins, his back straight and voice almost mirroring an authoritative tone. However, despite how rigid he looks, the man was smiling. His scarred face wrinkled with creases of a genuine gleam as he looks to Jill before finally returning to address the camera.] We thought it proper to give a formal announcement…
[ He’s not the only one who’s smiling. Jill is too, though much less rigid in her posture. Her shoulders are relaxed, looking as if someone has taken a large load off of them for one and together the pair make a picture of two giddy schoolkids up to no good. She reaches out for his hand, taking it into hers, and clasping it tightly before addressing the camera as well. The measure of support they give one another is obvious and what they have to say shouldn’t come as much of a surprise if given a little thought to how much they mean to each other.. ]
Not only proper, but more… efficient in this manner. Rather than leave it to the winds to carry the message, we want to tell all that we know at once.
[ She glances back over at Clive with expectant eyes, wondering if she should say it or if he should. But on second thought, she shakes her head and decides not to force the man of few words to come up with the entire message. ]
We would like to officially announce our betrothment.
[ Now that the main message is out there for all and sundry, she gives the floor back to Clive. ]
Yes. [Clive listens and nods along with a fondness on his face to that of a beggar receiving an abundance of gil. He holds Jill’s hand tightly in return, giving a look of a man clearly in love, before eventually offering the camera a half glance.]
Thank you for the kindness you have shown Jill and I. We pray that you will continue to support us as we take our next steps— [Annnd just like that his gaze leaves the camera completely and back onto Jill, dripping his head slightly.] —together.
Yes… Together.
[ Because that’s how they always do things, isn’t it? That much is certain with how she shifts to face him fully, to take in the man she loves with every bit of her soul. Apologies to anyone having to suffer through this. The shellphone and whoever is watching this broadcast no longer exist in her world; just the two of them remain at this moment. A moment more than well earned in two lives that were once full of nothing but strife and pain.]

no subject
It's not what it looks like, Clive!
[Sighing as he admits defeat coming clean rather than beating around the bush any longer.]
Listen man, I was trying to teach Jill some slang and it just happened to be about sex what can I do about that, right!? You don't want me to lie do ya?!
no subject
[ And to Jill of all people? Boy you better watch out, because Cid isn't the only one about to be after your ass— ]
no subject
Alright, alright! My bad dude! I won't bring it up again next time I'll just keep my damn mouth shut, I guess?
[Though that will be an agonizingly hard task for him but onto more jovial topics of conversation!]
So when is the big day!?
no subject
[ Clive CLEARLY still looks upset, as evident of that ever present scowl, but after a moment his shoulders do relax a little... but only a little. ]
There's no date in place as of yet. [ He pauses for a moment before adding. ] It's to be a small wedding— just for family.
no subject
Aw man- You gonna have an after party at least though with lots of cake and dancing!?
[How is he supposed to see Mid in her pretty dress if they don't have an after party, Clive!?]
no subject
You do know this occasion is about Jill and I, correct?
[ He's trying to save you, Denji. From Cid. ]
no subject
[He clearly doesn't know Clive well enough to understand his lack of desire for large social gatherings unlike that of his peers who seemingly enjoy festivities after partaking in Cid's birthday party.]
But it's all good dude! You do you and enjoy yourself just make sure to eat lots of cake for me, alright!?
no subject
And so he'll eventually, and almost sheepishly, offer the boy a smile. ]
Thank you. We shall. [ He'll pause a moment before- ] ... I'll save a piece just for you.
no subject
Just be sure to take lots of pics man I wanna see ya'll dressed up!
[What he really wants is for him to snag some pictures with Mid too but he wouldn't say that aloud. If he can't see her in the pretty dress first hand that would have to do. When the prospect of cake comes to fruition the teenager's eyes light up, nodding his head furiously in quick succession.]
Hell yeah!! Thanks!!
