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 || July 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.

[Faye apparently has been underwhelmed by her past few squiring parties and really could not be bothered to go all out like normal (disguise 10). She doesn't look bad, just not dolled up and smoldering like she normally tries to be.

She's here, though, and checking out the fresh meat. As she goes to head into the ballrom, her gaze lands on the blonde in the silver dress. She can't help but roll her eyes at the wide eyed innocent look the girl is giving everyone and everything. Puh-leeze. She knocks the girl in the shoulder on her way into the room.]

Oops. [She says in a completely flat tone before giving her a taunting glance over her shoulder.]

[Something about the girl who just knocked into her unnerves Diana, but she tugs the shoulder of her gown back into place and follows after, rubbing the iridescent surface of one of the tiny opals near the center of her necklace. She doesn't think it was an accident -- except that they've never met before, so she can't have offended her.

...maybe.]

[reallywicked]

[Spoiler: everyone can offend Faye just by existing.

She only makes it a few feet into the ballroom before she turns on her heels and gives the girl a dangerous smile.]

You're new right? Deanna or something? I'm going to give you some free advice: Stay out of my way. [But she's not half as scary as she wishes she was (intimidate 10)]

[astrae]

Um... thank you? [It might be more effective if her victim isn't nearly the same height as her, but the tone of Faye's voice does make Diana decide that correcting her will probably be both a bad idea, and useless in the long-run.

This isn't exactly the welcome she'd expected.] I don't think that's going to be a problem.

[Since they probably won't be spending much time together.]

[reallywicked]

[Her smile brightens into something sickeningly sweet and entirely insincere.]

Good.

[And she turns to go find someone else to talk to who doesn't make her want to reach out and choke someone.]
