WHO || Wynn, any and all Knights not currently on missions (if you are uncertain if your character would be at the castle for this, ask!)ooc; also if your Knight wants to get all gussied up, you can make a Disguise (Cha) check for how good they were at hair/makeup/stylin', etc! This goes for... any time.
WHAT || Squiring Ceremony Afterparty
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || March 1st, 2015, 6:00PM [backdated]
HOW || Prose OR Actionspam
The "afterparty" is rumored to be the real main event of the night. A black-tie affair in the lavish, opulent ballroom, it is every new Knight's chance to mingle and meet some of their new brothers in arms. Of course, a couple hours are provided following the ceremony for everyone to change, do hair and makeup, and choose from the vast array of formal attire in the closets of the balcony "dressing rooms" located at the top of spiraled staircases on either side of the ballroom. A separate dressing room exists for men and women, and they include full bathrooms (with, thankfully, very modern plumbing).
The squires are usually among the last to arrive, and the ballroom is full to the brim with a fancy array of people, of all shapes, sizes and species.
Hope you aren't shy. They're all here to meet you.
Feel free to make your own open threads for people to come congratulate your newly pledged knight.

Getting some air?
[ Given how she's dressed, he's pretty sure she didn't mean to be here, so...yeah, he's teasing a little. With a smile. ]
no subject
Yeah. And accidentally came back in the wrong door.
no subject
Let's finish sneaking out and get away from the crowd. It's fun, but...a little much after a while.
[ Plus, he figures she'd like it, too. ]
no subject
Yeah, I agree. C'mon.
[There are way better places to be right now than the ballroom - no offense newbie squires.]
no subject
That feels better.
[ Then he opens his eyes and smiles as he looks over at her, still holding her hand gently. ]
You doing okay?
no subject
Yeah. Definitely not doing bad, anyway.
no subject
Same here. It's been a weird few months. My dad showing up, one of my moms not remembering me. I wasn't sure about going to the party, but... [ He shrugs with a little smile. ] I was hoping I'd get to see you.
no subject
I met him - your dad? He seems really nice.
no subject
[ He's trying not to think much about it, but it's kind of nice they've already met and gotten to know each other a little. ]
Do you wanna stick around here or maybe go for a walk?
[ From where they're at right now, the music can still be heard so he wonders about asking her to dance. ]
no subject
I'm good with either. Do you want to get away from the party more?
no subject
Well...I was thinking we could enjoy the music a little? If you wanna dance, maybe. And then we could go for a walk?
no subject
[The question knocks her off guard, eyes widening a bit at the prospect.]
I, uh. I've never really ... danced?
no subject
[ And just have a nice laugh about it if it ends badly. But at least her reaction is better than an outright no. ]
no subject
[She glances back to the rest of the party for a moment before nodding slowly.]
Okay. Sure.
no subject
He smiles, reaching out to wrap an arm around her waist and take her hand with his other hand. ]
Go easy on me.
no subject
Which helps, because as far as dancing goes she's doing ... okay. For now (perform dance 11).]
no subject
no subject
(She does like him though. That much she's sure of.)
She glances up at him when she catches his head moving before smiling back, her head ducking shyly.]
You're pretty good at this.
no subject
So are you. I'm glad we took a chance.
[ He squeezes her hand a little as well. ]
no subject
[And she's glad she hasn't fallen flat on her face yet. Also slightly regretting not going back and changing when she realized what was happening. She feels underdressed in comparison to her partner, and while she isn't really a dress up sort of girl, she at least feels that she could have done this differently.
Which isn't what she wants to be focusing on at the moment, but she isn't entirely sure what to say. So she keeps her eyes focused on the shoulder where her hand is resting, before shifting it just slightly so that it was more curled against his shoulder. The way it bends her arm moves her a little bit closer, but she doesn't think that Henry would mind.]
no subject
Maybe after this we should go watch a movie? It'll be pretty empty in the TV room, I think.
no subject
Yeah, sure. Movies are ... good.
[She's still playing a lot of catch up in terms of pop culture, but watching them with friends is fun, and if there's something happening to distract them, maybe it'll take some of the pressure off.]
I'll get popcorn and meet you upstairs?
[Because she has to get momentarily sidetracked by her BFF.]
no subject
Yep, I'll meet you there in a few.
[ And then he just lightly squeezes her wrist before taking a shortcut back to his room to change, then head upstairs. ]
no subject
Fair warning - I haven't seen a lot of movies, so I don't really know what's good or not.
no subject
That's okay, I can work with that. Is there...any type of movie you completely hate, though?
