Despite all of their best intentions, it was well into the day after their decision to begin extending invitations that Mimsy and Robert actually made their way into the dorms to do so. As they had discussed, Shu and Camille would be first - and of the two of them, Shu took precedence, due to her seniority within the promised wedding party. With Robert's hand in hers, she hurried down the steps to the basement as quickly as she could, hoping to avoid any extensive recollections of her time spent sitting there, however brief as it had been. The efforts to avoid those thoughts did little to help her, but the sight of the basement presented itself as a suitable distraction. It was such a dark, dismal place, which generally would not have bothered her in the slightest. Thinking of Shu in such a place, though, was somewhat disquieting. At least they could take her out into the sun, to a place that was known for its bright, shiny lights. That would help, right? Her lip curled into a sneer as they passed the door before their destination, before softening into a smile a few steps later. "Ready?" She grinned crookedly up at him, then leaned on his shoulder as she knocked. Another small smile was spared in his direction, then her focus was on the door in front of them, waiting eagerly for a response.

Robert had blissfully forgotten that Shu still lived in the basement, until they were headed down to see her. As soon as it was brought back to his attention, he looked agitated and frustrated. He held on tight to Mimsy's hand, and nodded in response to Mimsy's question. But his words, as they came, had nothing to do with whether he was ready or not. Clearly, this was bothering him. "I told her I was gonna get her out of here." Robert muttered unhappily. "The damn room up on the second floor's cleared out now. All my fault. All my ********' fault she's still down here in this damn place." All the excitement had fled in response to this realization.

If she wasn't sparring or doing some training courses with her friends or just a random passer-by she caught with pitiful animal eyes (She was happy that it works every time), she was holding one of the plushies and daydreaming in her room. Although the basement wasn't the best place for accommodation, she slowly got used to it. Her best friend, Noemi visited her frequently and so did her in return. With her presence, the basement was a better place. Shu did think of putting fluorescent stickers on her door as a indication as well as an attempt to make the basement a less scary place to visit, however, the problem was they didn't have light so that they won't last long. Lying on her not-so-comfortable bed, she thought maybe she should ask Mimsy- And then there was the knock. "Ouch." She yelped as she bounced up from the bed too quickly and her glasses unfortunately collided with the soft fluffy back of the arpakasso, the sudden sore reached her nose was the main reason of the sound. She rubbed her nose a few times with her long sleeve of her sweater that the cuff were held within her palm and maybe a sniff and grimaced face. "Coming~" She replied the door, jumping off her bed but kinda forgot the plushie she was holding and pitter-patter towards the door with bare feet and messy long hair swinging behind her back. It may hint that she was rolling on her bed right before she answered the door. "Oh OH!" The reaction that she opened the door and saw who were standing there, the plushie was dropped in surprise. She crouched to pick it up, dusted it clean before she beamed at her beloved visitors, "Hello Mimsy, Robert, it's happy to see youuuuuuu!" With fingers clamped the plushie, both of them got a big warm hug as usual. "Are you come to play with me? Please come in~" The girl opened the door fully and beckoned them inside with a very enthusiastic voice. "Sorry I don't have any chairs, so please sit on the blanket. I sweep the floor frequently, it's not dirty!" She stressed, a bit embarrassed that her VIPs could only get that kind of treatment. "Or-you two can sit on the bed and I will sit on the blanket!" That sounded a more acceptable solution. The petite girl took out a bag of snacks from nowhere and settled it in the front of them, foods for Robert is a golden rule to make him happy, as for Mimsy, her main focus wasn't food for sure.

The smile had begun to falter as Mimsy listened to Robert's concerns, but there was no time to address them before Shu - and her fluffy companion - opened the door for them. "Hello! I am quite happy to see your friend too." She bent to path the alpaca on the head before returning her attention to Shu, quickly producing a smile in greeting. "More importantly, however, I am happy to see you!" When the fretting girl seemed to be finished with the motions of hospitality, she circled her arms around her small frame for another brief hug, pulling Robert's arm with her in her refusal to let go of his hand. "Please, feel no need to apologize. We could not expect you to be entirely prepared for an unannounced visit - but you have done very well nonetheless." Especially the snacks, which earned a significant amount of approval. How observant of her to have noted the importance of food! "Thank you for being so welcoming." Upon her insistence, she moved to sit on the bed, opting against a debate over who should be the ones to sit there. The likelihood seemed to be that it would make her happier if they accepted what was offered, so that was what she intended to do. "So, ah...we could play if you would like for us to!" She wasn't very sure what game they would be playing, but she saw no reason they couldn't. "The primary purpose of this visit was to speak with you in regards to some planning, but I am sure that we have the time to spend with you." She glanced quizzically at Robert and squeezed his hand, waiting for his input.

When Shu opened the door and ushered them in to a room that was far from distressing, Robert felt the edges of his guilt fade away. She'd made herself at home, but he still had a promise to keep, and it would nag at him until he'd kept it. Fortunately, he was also very easily distracted - and as soon as she mentioned coming to play, and obtained a bag of snacks for him, he was lost in delirious content. "Aww, you shouldn't have!" He coo'd, tearing the bag open. As soon as she looked as though she was going to sit on the blanket, however, Robert stopped her and all but carried her over to the bed to sit right beside Mimsy. "Nope. Nope, nope, you sit right there, I'm fine on the floor - you need the height, haha!" He flopped down on the floor right in front of the two of them, crossing his legs and munching on snacks happily. He too was open to play, if that was what she really wanted - but they would have to get to the point of the visit, eventually. Mimsy was better at getting to points than he was. Besides, he now had a full mouth. He grinned, which was also a mistake, because he had a full mouth.

See, she can deal with Robert just fine. Shu giggled happily as she was transferred to the bed like a plushie being put on a shelf and watched contently as he worked on the snacks. "If you insist then....alright~!" It was a fun scene to see the floor was occupied by Robert while the other day it could fit three people with space left. The petite Asian enjoyed sitting next to the Life huntress and it showed from the swinging of her legs, "So if you two aren't come for playing, what plan do you have in mind?" Shu blinked her amber eyes. The observant girl noticed Mimsy was a bit different, she seemed to tense up and was nervous, the girl wondered what would make the smart huntress like that, it must be something very important to her. "Mimsy. You don't need to be inhibited, My Alice, the little rabbit will listen whatever you say. If it's something happy and you want to share, you just need to say it out freely, the worst is just - you might be suffocated by hug. Hehe~" Shu attempted a harmless joke when she reached out for Mimsy's hand, hoping to make Mimsy less anxious. At the same time, she was as curious as a cat wiggling its butt and ears cocked already. She spared a second to stare at Robert, and then sighed for his stupidity. Mimsy showed how needy she was for the hunter but he decided that the snacks were more appealing, Shu smiled and squished Mimsy's hand to give her more energy to talk.

The loss of Robert's hand was disorienting and somewhat alarming until Mimsy registered what he was doing. She readily took Shu's hand in its place and squeezed it once, like another tiny hug in greeting - then she abruptly abandoned the rigid barrier of personal space to hug her close, keeping one arm around her as she reached to take her hand again with her free one. If it felt fine for her to do this in Wonderland, there was no reason it should not feel similarly fine here. "Not if I suffocate you first." It was probably apparent that she was teasing, but the words were helplessly creepy from her mouth regardless. "And it is happy! Very much so, in fact." There was no reason to feel anxious now, especially after all that Shu had told her. Robert was right here with her, Shu was even closer, and the probability of an unfavorable result was extremely small. Still, she took a deep breath before she spoke, and took the opportunity provided by her pause to smile across the room at Robert. As her grip on the small hand she held grew slightly tighter, she turned to address the girl beside her, choosing to get right to the point. "You surely recall my promise to you in Wonderland, when I told you that you could be part of our next wedding - and our invitation to you in this reality, when we decided upon the idea of a wedding outside Wonderland. If you would still be willing to join us, we hope to have this aforementioned wedding near the end of this month. Your attendance and participation would be incredibly meaningful, of course, but we do understand if it is not a possibility." A glance at her husband indicated that he was still very occupied with the snacks, but she raised her brows at him anyway, silently prompting him to (hopefully) agree.

Shu didn't find it strange for Mimsy to hug her, for the petite Asian, it was just like in the hug pile of her sisters, with additional mixture of motherhood and friendship. It felt like they were in Wonderland again, only the three of them, it was so nice. If they could be in the dream forever, how wonderful it would be. The dreamy eyes once daydreaming focused again as the girl teased back, "Oh really? That would be the best way to end one's life~ Suffocated with love, hehe~" Snickers like the sound of sliver bells coming from the girl's mouth, she seemed content with her silly joke. "Oh! OHHHHHH! Tell me, Mimsy. Teeelllll meeeeeeeeee~" with a pair of sparkling eyes, the girl turned to shake the Life huntress when she said the news she brought was "very very very happy". When the huntress took a deep breathe, Shu finally stop shaking the poor Mimsy when she was ready to listen. There was an awful dead silence as she spoke slowly and even a few minutes continued after she had finished. From Mimsy's side, it was hard to judge the emotion of the petite Asian - - Until she exploded into millions of stars, wait incorrect, it should be she shot upward like a rocket. "Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! YEEeeeeeeaaaaaAAAAAhhhhhHHHHHHHHH! Yay! Yay!" Shu jumped on her not-so-springy bed like a mad bunny. The Life huntress sat next to her might feel the strong vibration and the Robert who was devouring the snacks might get chocked because of her sudden reaction. Anyway, that wasn't the most important thing. Mimsy was invited - or forced to stand up at her bed and jumped with Shu. "That is. so. great! I. can't. believe. it! You say. end of the month? I'd. better. find. a nice dress. the dress. for. the. most. wonderful. flower girl~" The sentences she said paused and paused as she jumped. She especially stressed at a word, a code that only one had been to the Wonderland would understand. Out of air, the girl finally stopped and inhaled as much air as she could into her body. "Sorry Mimsy, I am probably too excited and happy for you.....Of coruse I am coming! End of the month.....almost three weeks to prepare everything then~ I am sure you already have the full time schedule of everything?" She beamed in bliss, her little cheeks shaded with an obvious red. Shu believed the wise and resourceful bride already had her - their plans, but she couldn't help to ask about it. "How about the wedding dress? The layout? The - food catering?" Shu who sat back on the bed grabbed Mimsy's hands and asked eagerly, the Life huntress would feel the accelerated temperature of the little hands which always feel a bit cool. "Oh oh! I nearly forgot the most important thing! CONGRATULATIONS!" Even without confetti, she opened her arms widely and made the gesture of throwing something over his and her head.

Robert stopped crinkling the bag - he stopped chewing - he stopped breathing when Shu went silent, suddenly anxious of the possibility that she didn't want to be there for this. He couldn't think of a single reason why, but she was just sitting there, silent, for minutes now - And then she exploded, and the contents of Robert's bag were flung up into the air as he jolted with surprise. A second later, they rained down onto the ground, and his head and lap. But he didn't care, because Shu was excited, and that excitement fed his own excitement in a vicious cycle. She started screaming, and he started screaming. She stood up with Mimsy on the bed, and he (thankfully) got up and started to jump around on the floor, up and down while twirling around. Of course, there was no reason for him to be this excited - he'd known about the wedding all along - but Shu's excitement was infectious. He couldn't help himself around her. Shu was bombarding Mimsy with questions, which calmed Robert down enough to brush the food out of his hair, and breathe a sigh of relief when things like layouts and catering were mentioned. He was so thankful that Mimsy wanted a simple wedding, just like him. (As far as he knew.) Of course, when Shu screamed congratulations, Robert's arms flung up in the air, and the rest of the contents of the bag flew out with it. "CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!"

Silence was not at all what Mimsy had expected, and her body tensed against the smaller girl's, despite how obvious it made her reaction to the lull in conversation. Shu, however, was difficult to read - whatever reason there was for her lack of reply, she couldn't tell what it was. It seemed odd to not immediately say something if she were excited, and she began to prepare herself for an admission that the invitation would be declined. There was a hint of movement next to her, which elicited the beginnings of a cringe. But the expression didn't last. It was jolted into one of surprise, eyes wide, smile tentative and anxious around the edges of excitement. As Shu began to jump on the bed, Mimsy stood with her, compelled by the sudden inertia to join her in hopping up and down. What a good little rabbit she was! This was what she had been hoping for. This happiness, this cheer, this eager rambling, even if it did involve many things that she had forgotten to account for. The more Shu spoke, the more enthused she became. Unfortunately, this resulted in a more energetic mimicry of the significantly shorter girl's actions, which sent her higher and higher, causing her to bump her head on the basement ceiling during their congratulations. She clumsily fell onto the bed, tugging on Shu's arms as she went, and sat motionless for a moment, seemingly stunned. After blinking away her blurred vision, she grinned as wide as her cheeks would allow, burst into a fit of giggles, and released Shu's hand to clap enthusiastically. "Congratulations!" she cheered, a bit too late to join theirs. When the giggles and applause died down, she smiled at Robert, standing in the midst of the mess of 'confetti' he'd thrown, and turned to respond to everything she could recall. "I am so pleased that you want to attend! We have a general timeline, but we can ascertain the specifics if necessary." The glow of the girl's cheeks brought another smile to her face, and she reached to gingerly brush her fingers over the patches of color. "I do not yet have a dress, but Camille expressed interest in assisting me to find one. If you would like to join us, you may! This will be a small occasion - we intend to invite only two others, and will be wed at a chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada. However..." She took Shu's hands again, rubbing them beneath her thumbs to keep them warm, and glanced at Robert as she continued. "I would not want this wedding to be our last. I hope to have many weddings, just like Wonderland! As long as my husband is not opposed..." There was no subtlety here, nor was there any in the expectant look she gave him. "We may have a much more expansive wedding in the future. We could begin to plan it right after we return from our honeymoon! Would you like to help? You could be involved from the very beginning this time. I think that would be quite wonderful as well."

Her reaction was actually quite normal after hearing such big news, just maybe not to a couple how has been anxious recently. However, there was no way that the girl who liked them a lot and wanted to be a flower girl once say no to them, so they were just over-worried. Happiness was infectious, and in Shu's room, a beneficial bacteria was strongly prevailed. It made the three people in the room jumping up and down uncontrollably, and yelling in ecstasy which might cause nuisance to her neighbours. Not until Mimsy the tall huntress got her head accidentally collided with the ceiling, over 1/74,817,414 of the possibility for the clumsiness, oh, that's the odds from dying from an asteroid strike. Shu had her focus fully on Mimsy, so Robert was temporarily safe from her anger. Oh no! I made Mimsy acted stupid like me! When she was tugged to sit down from the hyperactivity, she was a bit worried and would like to rub her head like she did with her siblings so that pain will go away. What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? There was a panicked girl hopping around while flailing her hands and then a big beast using a fat finger to stuff his ear and another pressing the girl's head to stop her doing the ritual dance around him.
The girl's eyes were shifting around in nervousness, that was the moment she caught what the big bear did. Her mouth pouted long at the happy dancing hunter and thinking about how to make him clean up his mess later. He should be very glad that he had such an excellent wife. The cheerful voice voice of the Life huntress drew Shu's attention back to her, saving the big dog that might face consequences for his behaviour. "Camille.....? Sorry Mimsy, do I know her? Of course I wanna offer opinion on the dress if I'm eligible. L-L-Las Vegas? Las Vegas?! Is that -" Mimsy was interrupted.
"Welcome to Las Vegas~" She stood up on her bed, crossing her ankles as if she was wearing high heels and with her poor endeavour, a "S" line barely formed with her waist, one of her hands on her waist while another straightly raised in mid-air with elegance. "That Las Vegas?"
She sat down again when Mimsy showed her intention to hold her hand, "A small one is good enough! And - people say wedding is one-time because it's a life-long commitment, however, why we can't marry the same person again and again? Mimsy, you are so cleverrrrrr! It's like sharing your happiness with other people, what if someone missed that? The answer is simple, they can join the next one!" The girl smiled contently with her answer. "Honeymoon! Where're you going to? Oh! Certainly I will help! No, I want to help. Hmm, I need to help!" Shu could feel her hands warm up under the affectionate contact.
Now, their attention was on Robert, and there was no way to escape.
Nothing Yet She's being stupid again XD
Nio Love Two pairs of eyes looking at Robert (ㅇㅅㅇ❀)

The moment Mimsy banged her head on the wall, Robert stopped jumping. He moved into action, fluidly stepping forward and pulling her head closer. Shu was trying to pat it to feel better, but Robert's hands were more precise, and clinical. He was checking for bumps, welts, anything that would indicate a problem. Then he let her go, and knelt down in front of her to look directly into her eyes. Dazed, stunned, but no less ready to celebrate. Robert was not convinced, but he let her go, deciding to simply keep an eye on her for a few hours in case she showed any delayed signs of concussion. Then he kissed the top of her head, and turned to feel the full force of Shu's serious look. A look which he was oblivious about. "We're going to Tokyo for our honeymoon. I've never been. Sounds fancy! Please don't ever do that Las Vegas pose again." Robert looked absolutely horrified that he'd had to see that from Shu. Horrified.
