WHO || Wynn, any and all Knights not currently on missions 
WHAT || Squiring Ceremony Afterparty
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || Mar 1st, 2013, 6:00PM
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.

[ someone at the snack table is staring at her quite openly, a tiny radish raised half to his mouth. ] ... I'll never get used to this world's sense of fashion. [ a spot check of 14 or higher would note the small point to his ears that marks him as carrying at least some elven blood ]

[graveflowers]

[The most long suffering sigh as Violet turns to look at Radish Boy. Who even eats radishes outside of salad? Her spot check of 16 notices his ears but doesn't actually care aside from the kind of adorable part of it.]

Or tact, apparently.

[pickyourbattles]

It was just an observation. [ he's one to talk about fashion. he's dressed like a disney prince. ]

[graveflowers]

It would have been nicer if you had observed this while staring at someone else. [Huff.]

You look like you're about to break into song, Prince Edward. [She frowns, that was kind of rude.] Do you need a tutor for 21st century fashion?

[Which also sounds rude. But she means well?]

[pickyourbattles]

It's not the century that befuddles me, it's the culture.

[graveflowers]

[Adorable times a thousand.]

What part is be-- wait. You're not saying that you're befuddled by my, gasp, naked ankles, right?

[pickyourbattles]

No. [ though now he looks like it ] That's not what I meant at all...

[graveflowers]

[That's a snicker. Sorry.] Uh-huh. Okay, my ankles aside. What about the current fashion culture do you not understand?

[pickyourbattles]

Why men wear their collars turned up rather than down, for instance.

[graveflowers]

Ties looks more aesthetically pleasing. Also, variety is the spice of life. Next?

[pickyourbattles]

Why some men feel the need to wear their trousers below their buttocks.

[graveflowers]

Oh that's brain damage, not fashion.

[pickyourbattles]

That... makes more sense, actually.

[graveflowers]

You know, it wouldn't take much to get you all... [Hmmm, how does one insult someone's clothes without insulting someone's clothes.] Well, less Enchanted.

[pickyourbattles]

[ he looks down at his clothes, confused. ] I'll have you know these haven't been enchanted whatsoever.

[graveflowers]

No that was a -- you know what, never mind. I meant that we could, um, modernize you, slightly.

[pickyourbattles]

[ SKEPTICAL FAIS GET ] ... Must we?

[graveflowers]

When in Rome, dude. Unless you want me to keep coming up with stupid nicknames for you, Romeo.

[pickyourbattles]

If I knew who that was, I might even be offended.

[graveflowers]

Well, I can keep trying to find something offensive to compare you to that you'll actually know.

[pickyourbattles]

I think that rather unnecessary.

[graveflowers]

It probably is, but so far it's surprisingly entertaining. And I will give up... if you let me play dress up with you.

[pickyourbattles]

Well... [ he hesitates, but his guard seems to be slipping. MAKE A DIPLOMACY CHECK (~._.)~ ]

[graveflowers]

[17! She bats her eyelashes.] Please?

[pickyourbattles]

I really hope I shan't regret this.
