after-party ♔ may



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.

[Oh. Oh dear. Violet is usually a hot mess. Somehow tonight she isn't, but apparently this guy has taken up the mantle. It's a sad mantle, she feels sad about it. She wanders up and leans against the bar calmly, like it isn't a big deal. She herded an entire cohort hungover on her twenty first birthday. She can deal with this.]

Hey, you gonna live to see tomorrow or is this a cry for help? I'm pretty helpful.

[personal profile] ex_ric243 2013-05-09 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Let's go with the first one.

[Can't a guy cope without everyone and their mother coming to provide color commentary? This is why he usually drank alone.]
graveflowers: (Ω what's that?)

[personal profile] graveflowers 2013-05-09 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, Ric, you did join the knights. Helping people is kind of their deal, so, what exactly did you expect, really?]

Okay. You might want to fix your fly though. There is jailbait in these parts, don't want to get caught in a compromising position.

[personal profile] ex_ric243 2013-05-10 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Good question. He wasn't even sure what he'd expected to find here--besides Elena. Ric appreciates the advice though ... even if he doesn't seem to. He'll go ahead and fix that little problem as discreetly as possible.]

What's up with that, anyway? [The abundance of jailbait.] Isn't there some sort of child labor law that prevents teenagers from joining these things before they finish high school?
graveflowers: (Ω thinking about it)

[personal profile] graveflowers 2013-05-13 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it's one of those we have our own rules type of things. Plus, it's England, so their laws are kind of different, aren't they? Harry potter graduated when he was 17. [No, actually, he didn't, Vi. Inaccurate pop culture reference, finally. (Pop culture knowledge 7.)]

Some of the kids just might not remember if they graduated or not.

[personal profile] ex_ric243 2013-05-14 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Which is somehow even less reassuring.
graveflowers: (Ω smug.)

[personal profile] graveflowers 2013-05-18 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Luckily I think basic education is one of those things the veil doesn't take away, like knowing how to tie your shoes.

[She is trying for that reassurance. She might suck at it.]

[personal profile] ex_ric243 2013-05-19 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Let's hope so.

[Because what the hell kind of organization did he just join otherwise?]

I'm Alaric, by the way. Sorry about the whole not being approachable thing. This has just been a lot to take in.
graveflowers: (Ω cheerful)

[personal profile] graveflowers 2013-05-19 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm Vi. And I used to work with a bunch of teenagers, you haven't begun to be unapproachable. And you don't have a sword so...

[personal profile] ex_ric243 2013-05-21 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
I think I'd have found a new profession a long time ago if they started handing out swords to teenagers. Assuming I survived that long, anyway.
graveflowers: (Ω smug.)

[personal profile] graveflowers 2013-05-21 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
See the key is that they gave me the sword first. [When... She was thirteen. Shhh, Romans and logic, not always a thing.]

[personal profile] ex_ric243 2013-05-23 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Look at that, he does know how to smile.]

Even so, I can't see taking on a class of thirty plus disgruntled teenagers.
graveflowers: (Ω got game)

[personal profile] graveflowers 2013-05-27 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Idk I think she should get extra XP for making the smiling thing happen. It makes her grin, regardless. Progress!]

Isn't that why they say teaching isn't for the faint of heart? [Do they say that? They should.]

[personal profile] ex_ric243 2013-05-27 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Apparently I went into the wrong profession.

What about you? Sounds like you're no stranger to a classroom, yourself.
graveflowers: (Ω nose crinkle.)

[personal profile] graveflowers 2013-05-28 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Haha, oh but she is such a stranger.]

Well, if by classroom you mean arena for gladiator games then nope, not a stranger. If you mean classroom like its supposed to mean, then... we've drifted apart. We're seeing other people.

[personal profile] ex_ric243 2013-05-29 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Are we talking American Gladiatiors here, or...?

[No offense but he wasn't convinced by her lack of muscle mass.]
graveflowers: (Ω amused.)

[personal profile] graveflowers 2013-05-29 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[She grins, not at all offended, she is the size of a twig and just as easily breakable.]

More old school. Really, really old. Like ancient old. [A beat.]. I took up archery pretty fast.

[personal profile] ex_ric243 2013-05-29 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
[He's all sorts of confused for a hot minute.]

Like ancient Rome ancient.

[A revelation which has him shifting in his seat some so that he not in quite as vulnerable position, while tensing slightly at the same time. Sorry, his vampire sense is tingling.]

How old are you, exactly? [Because what is taboo.]
graveflowers: (Ω not impressed.)

[personal profile] graveflowers 2013-05-29 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Chillax spidey sense.]

I'm twenty five, so yes, it is legal for me to be drinking this. [She knows what he's getting at, it just takes so much to explain. Especially to a teacher. And with her luck, he is a history teacher and actually knows all about Ancient Rome and then, sigh.]

[personal profile] ex_ric243 2013-07-17 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Always good to know.

[But his tone indicates that it's obviously not what he meant, and he's pretty sure she knows it.

Lucy, you got some 'splaining to do. Except not really because she doesn't owe him anything, but he will be side-eying the fuck out of her otherwise.]
graveflowers: (Ω thinking about it)

[personal profile] graveflowers 2013-07-17 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
You know there's people here that are like... five hundred, right? From different worlds... [Why you all up judging in her grill, bro. She is just average and normal kthnx.] So knowing how to skewer people with a sword isn't that big a deal, I'm just saying.
