♬ Jeux d'eau - Ravel

WHO || Wynn, any and all Knights not currently on missions (brazil & nevada groups will be returned! 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 || May 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.

[Turning not giving a fuck into an art form that Klaus and Faye both strive to achieve. Faye's not so great at it due to her pesky human, teenage personality, but she likes those dark and silent types, so when she see a man hanging back, rather than mingling, she takes a slow stroll to his corner of the ballroom.]

I take it you're not impressed?

[asuma]

[Klaus turns his attention to Faye when she approaches, but he isn't exactly jumping out of his seat to greet her like a proper gentleman or anything. He's too comfortable sry gurl.]

You've seen one ridiculously over the top gathering, you've seen them all.

[reallywicked]

[She doesn't need him to jump up and play the doting gentleman. That game gets old. She likes the smug bastard thing way better anyway.]

You'll get plenty of those here. Ever month, actually.

[asuma]

I can hardly wait.

[reallywicked]

[This must be what talking to her is like. She shifts her weight to one hip, looking at him like she's sizing him up.]

So if you don't want to be here, why'd you join?

[Shit she asks herself erryday.]

[asuma]

Boredom, perhaps.

[Which wasn't exactly the truth but he was too cool for school or something.]

Apparently that didn't work out too well for me, now did it?

[reallywicked]

Oh, there's ways to make your own fun around here.

[She's not only talking about sex, surprisingly.] You just have to know where to find it.

[asuma]

Is that right?

In that case, I suppose I'd be grateful were anyone to show me the ropes, so to speak.

[reallywicked]

I prefer handcuffs. [She tosses back with a smirk.]

First thing you need to learn about this place? Never stay for the whole party. You wouldn't believe the things you can find when you go looking while everyone's heads are turned.

[asuma]

[Congratulations, Faye. You've just become potentially more interesting than the party. Not that it's saying much...]

It's a rather large castle. I fear I wouldn't know where to start.

[reallywicked]

That's why you find a tour guide.

[asuma]

I don't suppose you'd be willing to give me the grand tour?

[reallywicked]

Well, since you asked so nicely... [She's glad he's not so dim to not pick up on that giant hint she was dropping. Turning on her heels, she looks over her shoulder at him.]

Coming?

[asuma]

[No need to ask twice. Klaus is already ditching the drink to follow after her.]

Where to first?

[reallywicked]

That depends on what you're in the mood for. There's the training room with all the weapons... or some rec rooms. I think there's a pool table somewhere.

My personal favorite, though? Is where they keep all the supplies for spells.

[asuma]

How intriguing. I suppose it's as good a place as any to start.

[Let's be real, he just wants to get an idea of what she can do.]

And besides, rec rooms can be visited any time. Might as well make the most of the situation while we can.
