Xena looked out from window of car once again, trying to understand, whether can they drive forward on road even on some meters.
They have left a house in good time, expecting possible jams on roads and nevertheless could not avoid them. It was especially annoying to get in it in five minutes of driving from Trinity Church.
Cyrene sat on a back seat, trying to suppress beginning claustrophobia because of staying in close salon.
Can we open a window, dear?
She asked, having turned to Hermione, who sat for a rudder ahead.
Xena knew, how to open car windows and pressed the button. Glass was lowered and car was filled with air which has become permeated with the smell of exhaust gases of other cars...
Cyrene had a fit of coughing, having pressed a hand to a nose
Oh my!..
We are late.
Xena has told hardly constraining irritation.
Perhaps, if we shall go on foot we shall get there faster? To be late for own wedding its not the best beginning of a new life...

Xena's Bachelorette Party
Sep. 9th, 2006 05:19 pmooc-discussion and list of invited friends you can find here
tags: Gabrielle Aggie, River, Macaria, Selina and Amy, Beatrix Kiddo, Trinity, Hershe, Iris, Hermione, Satine.
----------------------------------
Xena wrapped the double towel around of a waist and opened a door in a sauna which Hershe prepared for them beforehand. There was soft twilight in a room which was lightened only with candles and the oil lamps which let out gentle aroma of wild herbs.
Hershe fulfilled the promise and found almost all necessary components necessary for amazon bath: brooms from special herbs and aromatic oils.
Xena did not know, whether her ceremony was similar to that custom which was accepted in this world, but in Ancient Greece, the bride before wedding should pass through a ceremony of clarification. And Amazon bath was known since ancient times, as the best means for this purpose.
Meanwhile Xena was here alone she decided to take advantage of brief instant of a solitude.
She sat down on a stone side of round pool which was in the center of a hall and has looked in water, at her reflection there.
Tomorrow her life will change. And she should leave all troubles of the past here, wash off them with water, evaporate in a hot sauna, expel all sins of the past that can sadden her future happiness.
Xena touched her reflection, and the ripples has run on water...

Xena come in their apartment, holding Snake for a shoulder and set him on a couch. Snake tried to protest, but she forced him to stay there. Then she turned to Greek guests who examined their house with obvious interest.
" It is our apartment, mom, - Xena said to Cyrene, and then put a hand on a shoulder to Gabrielle. - I'll take care about a dinner. I believe, you have got hungry during travel. "
She spoke is underlined affably, trying to avoid mentions of recent incident. Nevertheless, Xena looked a little bit guilty, she did not understand, what happened with her groom, but going to find out it as soon as possible.
Xena taken phone and dialed the number of nearest restaurant to order a dinner for all company.
Having finished conversation, she shown phone to Gabrielle and smiled.
" There is a set of wonderful things here. Oh, it is long conversation. "
She was silent some time, then taken her friend for a hand and said.
" Gabrielle, I want to apologize for Snake. I understand, he could offend you... and Hercules, in particular, there, at a meeting. I do not know, why he behaved so, but I want to tell, Snake did not want it.
I think, I should talk to Hercules about it. But you should know, Snake sincerely wanted, that you have arrived here. "
She clapped the friend on a hand and turned to find a bottle of wine for guests, but stopped, having noticed a pipe laying on a window sill. Xena taken it in hands and wrinkled a nose, having felt a smell of opium. Her face grown dark for one instant but when she turned to Gabrielle again, her expression was flat again.

Xena put aside a sheet of a paper with sketches for a wedding vow and rubbed tired eyes. She tried to think up it some days already, but intensity of pre-wedding days and a heap of other things demanded attention, prevented her to concentrate. Searches of a suitable wedding dress and drawing up of list of the invited guests, also considering of schedule of ceremony demented her. Xena hated all this semi-official organ, hated ceremonies, especially such solemn.
Unique idea which kept her from the next attack of fury, its anticipation of travel with the Snake right after wedding. Nobody knew about it, however.
Xena smiled, having imagined their runaway: only two of them. Full freedom of actions. And only road ahead. That is necessary to both of them.
She approached to a window, looking on city below. Other idea disturbed her. Lucifer should deliver her friends and mom here, in this reality.
Idea on a forthcoming meeting pleased and disturbed her simultaneously. How will they consider her choice? Whether will approve it or will condemn?
Xena crossed hands on a breast, rubbing the chin thoughtfully. The opinion of surrounding people never influenced her too much, but now it was very important for her for some reason.
She thought about Hercules and Gabrielle, people which have changed her life. Hercules, undoubtedly, will be glad for her. Xena smiled, having imagined him near to the Snake. Having agreed to marry on him, she started a new stage of life, and it would be a good omen if her old friend Herc was near to her at the beginning of each stage.
Gabrielle.
Xena sighed. Here things were more complicated. But she hoped, that friend will understand her.
Gabby always understood her.
Xena sighed again and stepped to a sofa, trying to recollect, what else she could miss?
Bachelorette party.
Warrior Princess frowned.
Snake has told to her in general how it is accepted to arrange such parties here, but she still did not understand some details.
The list of girlfriends was ready, but Xena reflected about a place where ceremony should be arranged.
What reservoir would approach for Ceremony of Ablution in the best way? And where she can find a good bath?
Xena thoughtfully looked at the list, feeling, that her head is ready to burst from an over strain...

Cyrene, the keeper of tavern in center of Amphipolis, looked at a hall again, for one instant having come off from polishing the counter. Here was to a few people today, but evening only began, and she urged on her servants to have time to prepare a bar for invasion of visitors. Servants, as always, tried to shirk work, and she continually went on a hall, checking, whether everything is ready.
Cyrene stopped near an amphora with wine from a new crop and, having splashed it in a glass, tasted it slowly, checking its quality.
Any noise has drawn her attention, and Cyrene lowered a glass, having looked back. Servants shouted loudly, swinging hands.
Cyrene has looked there and noticed the reason of turmoil soon.
The white pigeon, clapping wings loudly, flied on a hall, and servants ran after it, trying to catch bird.
Cyrene stepped in the center of a hall, reflecting how the bird has managed to get here, but the pigeon suddenly dived directly to her and sat on a shoulder.
Woman was struck dumb for one instant, and then, having taken a bird in hands, noticed, that the small scroll is attached to its paws.
Intrigued even more, Cyrene taken scroll in hands and unwrapped it.
She gasps, having covered the mouth with hand, having seen, that has been written there:

I suggest to combine this ceremony with traditional wedding custom of Ancient Greece: bathing of the bride. It occurs one day prior wedding, the bride accompanied with close girlfriends does ablution in the river or lake in the early morning. That is meant, that its only for women.
What demands discussion?
Participants of a party.
Here the preliminary list of those whom Xena would like to see there:
( The list of girlfriends )
11. Beatrix Kiddo (
the_bride_tm)
If I have forgotten someone, please, drop the comment here.
And one more question: who exactly will organize this party for Xena? Gabrielle or Aggie?
As to place of post... it will be in Xena's lj.
When?
Most likely, I'll try to write a post to Sunday, 27. RP can last all next week, down to wedding...
