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!)
WHAT || Squiring Ceremony Afterparty
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || September 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.

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.

[Malina (disguise 18) is pretty much a squiring party regular, but she's noticed Ella's absence as of late. Which is why when she picks her out of the crowd, she can't help but make her way closer with a smile.]

I think your shoes might match my dress.

[sorceresslite]

[ ella glances down to double check and looks back up at malina with a grin. ]

I'd say we can share, but only small children can wear my shoes. [ truth. ]

[bredinthebone]

[She laughs.]

Fair enough. Plus, I don't feel like having everyone looming over me today.

[Some days she's comfortable with the fact that she's a midget. Others? Not so much.]

[sorceresslite]

Ugh, I wish I could loom.

[bredinthebone]

You and me both. Instead we have to accept our lot in life of being the tiny, scary, human equivalents of chihuahuas.

[sorceresslite]

Gotta get one of those "enlarge person" spells at the ready, I suppose.

[bredinthebone]

[She smirks.]

Yeah. That would definitely do the trick. That would probably take a bit of practice not to go giant-sized, though.

[sorceresslite]

I wouldn't mind bein' a giant. Crush people beneath my feet? Yeah, that'd be aces.

[bredinthebone]

[She laughs.]

I'd just settle for being able to reach the top shelves myself.

[sorceresslite]

[ SO BITTERLY: ] I hate stools.

[bredinthebone]

Agreed. Especially when it's just out of your reach, so you need a boost, but the stool is way too tall for the boost you need, so you feel all awkward and wobbly once you're on it.

[sorceresslite]

Yes!! It's the worst!

[bredinthebone]

[She nods.]

That's half the reason why I learned Mage Hand.

[sorceresslite]

'f it's only useful for grabbing things, well, that's what Andrew's for, innit?

[bredinthebone]

[She smirks.]

Yeah, but Andrew isn't always around. And I'm usually one to be annoyed by the corresponding short jokes.

[sorceresslite]

Of course Andrew's always around... [ if you're ella. ]

[bredinthebone]

[She laughs.]

We all aren't as fortunate to have the Gatewood Delivery Service at our disposal.

[sorceresslite]

Just get 'im on speed dial, he's so accommodating. [ ella, you threaten to electrocute him all the time and he's your best friend, of course he is accommodating. ]

[bredinthebone]

[She laughs at that before nodding.]

I will keep that in mind for the future.

[sorceresslite]

Do that. Wanna get another drink?

[ and then they do that and have a good chit chat session. c'est fini. ]
