Wedding reception!

[chloesullivan]

[ooc: open party thread! Mingle, thread-hop, crash the party, cause drama. Whatever you feel like.]

The wedding had gone smoothly. Her dad had walked her down the isle like it should be. They had exchanged their vows and rings once more. Even if the ceremony had been just a formality, since they had been married for two weeks now, but it had still been nice to be there with their family and close friends.

After that, they had been dragged to another room in the hotel for pictures and only now were they being introduced back to their guests, this time as Mr. and Mrs. Queen.

The reception was taking place in the ballroom of the Metropolitan. The decoration was, unsurprisingly, green. Dinner would be served but drinks and appetizers were already available for those who wanted them.

Chloe just hoped his part of the day went as smoothly as the rest of it had.

Oliver stood toward the front of the room, sipping a glass of champagne as he watched their guests mingle and talk.

Clark walked over to Oliver and stood next to him, surveying the room.

"Congratulations."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

He smiled at his friend, nodding a little. "Thanks, Clark."

Chloe had done some mingling herself, but she hadn't really had time to find herself a drink so when she saw Ollie with one, she walked up to him and smirked, "someone is slacking."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

He smirked back at her, handing her his drink. "I wasn't aware I was supposed to be working on our wedding day," he teased.

"Comes with being a host," she told him, taking the glass and sipping on it, "you'd think your CEO persona would know all about that."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"I try to keep that kind of information from leaking to the other personas," he informed her with a smirk.

As soon as she was able to wrangle herself free of the reception's program - why, oh, why was the waitstaff so incompetent tongiht? - she launched herself at Ollie, arms wrapping around his torso.

"Congrats again, cuz!"

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

He chuckled, hugging her back. "Thank you." His voice was quiet and sincere.

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

She pulls back and beams at him.

"Welcome to the family. I'm glad she chose you."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"Me too. Makes me a lucky guy," he said softly, smiling back at her.

Chloe found herself looking around the room for any sign of trouble even as she spoke to her and Ollie's guests. No spiked monsters so far was a good sign although she kept expecting the other alien who had suddenly showed up back in their lives to make an appearance this time.

If he did, at least he only had the human form as far as she knew so that was definitely a plus.

But she had to stop herself from thinking about that and focus on the fact that soon enough, she and Ollie would be leaving for their mysterious destination. Yeah, that was definitely better.

She grabbed a glass of champagne from a passing waiter and sipped on it.

Lois had just finished quietly berating the head waiter for nearly bringing out the appetizers before the drinks. Idiots. She was surrounded by idiots. When she caught a glance of her cousin finally taking a break, though, she couldn't help but make her way over.

"Congrats, Mrs. Queen!" She grinned, wrapping her arms around her cousin gleefully.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Chloe smiled, holding her glass away from her cousin carefully so she wouldn't spill the drink on either of their dresses, "thank you, Lo!" She grinned and hugged her back.

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

Lois cuddled her cousin ecstatically before pulling away and beaming down at her.

"So far so good, huh? I've got Smallville keeping an ear out for anything that even remotely sounds like Godzilla."

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

She laughed softly at that and nodded, sipping on her drink.

"I appreciate it, but since that's taken care of, why don't you try to relax and enjoy the party? You've worked hard enough as is, Lo."

The party had been underway for some time when Zod finally made his appearance. He slipped inside without drawing notice, slowly making his way through the crowd of guests and coming up beside Chloe from behind.

"I understand congratulations are in order," he said in a low tone, giving his own glass of champagne an all too casual lift in her direction.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

"Thank y--" Chloe begun as she turned around then stilled completely, her face falling as her mouth went dry.

"What do you want?"

[kneel-majorzod.livejournal.com]

He offered her a slight smile, taking a small, innocent sip from his drink. "You've not been greeting all your guests that way, have you?"

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

Oliver moved to stand beside his wife, his gaze intense. "Just the ones who weren't invited," he said evenly.

After mingling with some of the guests and congratulating Oliver and Chloe, Clark went to find Lois. He walked up behind her and tapped her shoulder.

"Would you like to dance?"

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

Lois was in the middle of berating a waitress for incompetency when she felt the tap on her shoulder. The waitress took the opportunity to dash away, which had a growl bubbling out of Lois's lips before she turned to Clark, unamused.

"What?"

[smallvillekent.livejournal.com]

He gave her a weak smile. "You're the maid of honor. I'm the best man. We're supposed to dance..."

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

She assessed him a moment, blinking a few times.

"The bride and groom have a dance. Bride and father. I don't think anyone cares if you and I share a dance, Smallville." Aaand she'll attempt her escape now.

Zod didn't exactly find his way out after Chloe and Oliver's departure. Instead he wandered amidst the other guests, drink in hand. Though his expression appeared rather bored, it was also apparent they weren't going to get rid of him quite so easily.
