[ The video starts off with Ursula sitting on the sofa in her apartment. She's sitting by herself, wrapped in the sari that Fang had given her some time back. On her neck was a new pendant she had not yet been seen wearing before, the sparkling symbol showing off the union of the Ursa Major and Southern Cross asterisms. On her hand, placed over her wine glass, is a new ring.

Those were probably important.

She took in a deep breath and let out a small, anxious laugh, giving a small wave. ]

So... a few things.

Firstly, my duties at the refugee and orphan schools I preside over are going to be, at least for time being, are being turned over to some friends I have in the Coven who've graciously volunteered to take up those duties because...

I am about to be a little busy.

[ Another deep breath. She holds it for a moment, her eyes hardly able to focus on the camera, but... Okay, she can still manage this. ]

I'm... getting married.

Here, I mean. To three people, actually, which is still something I feel like I'm just flying blind into, but Aefenglom is just like that, I suppose... ha ha...

[ Good lord, she was nervous. ]

To my bonded, Kaede, as well as to my significant others Ozymandias and Croix. Everyone is on board with this and I'm currently working out the finer details.

I-I'll have a date announced soon! It will be this month, at least...

[ She pauses for another moment, quickly finishing off the glass in her wine... then reaching to refill it, and then finishing off that glass. ]

And also... I'm officially changing the records here for my name.

You see, if you met, and knew me, under the name Ursula Callistis, well... that's not my real name.

[ Her therapist had guided her through this process. In the end, it was probably well more important, on a lot of levels, than even announcing her engagement(s). She took another breath. ]

My name is Chariot du Nord. That's my real name, the one my mother gave me. If you want to know why I kept a false name all this time... I'll be happy to give you the story.

So... I am Chariot du Nord, and I'm marrying the three people I love most in this world...

[ She can't help another laugh, this one so much more energetic, and just... stretching her smile as wide as it could go. Well. That was one thing out of the way. ]

[Yuki's not usually the nosy sort when he doesn't need to be, and he actually didn't used to go cruising the network, but... Seems like it was a good day to do so.]

Congratulations, to you and... all of your partners?

[He's happy for you but that is three people. His brain clearly stops at the two people he cares about and doesn't stretch beyond the ménage a train wreck.

He does sound genuinely congratulatory, though.]

[ She can hear the congratulations, but she can also hear the upturned confusion as well, laughing again, herself. ]

Trust me it's been a wild ride to get to this point.

I hadn't even dated anyone before arriving in this place.

I don't doubt it. I think this place is a totally different animal for a lot of people.

[After all, he doubts he would have ever had the courage to tell Momo he loved him without this place, so. Things happen.]

It's good. Having people you care about, I mean. Good for you.

[Awkward with emotions man is awkward, but hopefully it's charming.]

If I may ask, are they all marrying you specifically or is everyone involved marrying each other?

How would you, and they, prefer to be addressed after the event?

Well they're all marrying me. Which I realize probably sounds strange? It's not as if I have any base of reference to go on for, well

any of this. So a lot of this is "I have no idea".

I don't find it strange. If one loves many people, and marriage is important to those same people, then it is reasonable to marry many people. May it do you well.

Should you and they come to a decision, please let us know. It would be embarrassing to mis-address any of your expanding family after such an announcement.

...Woah. I didn't know you could do that. I'm all for it, though.

I hope it pans out well for you. That seems like a complicated thing to maintain.

Well, not to ruin the surprise, but Kaede had already informed me of the first part of that. Congratulations to you and them all. [And Maria will quietly not envy this one's love life even a little bit because jfc that sounds like way more than Maria ever wants to keep up with. She has negative energy amounts for something like that.]

I admit some curiosity as to the pseudonym, but you must have had your reasons. I will stick to the congratulations. [Secrets, probably something Dramatic in the past. Maria's good, she doesn't need to know.]

Good for you. Why have one person when you can have three?

[ Several potential reasons, but they're not relevant right now! ]
