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, 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.

[Thoster's wis check of 17 means he doesn't notice ANYTHING AT ALL. Which at least makes sense because he has no idea what a German accent is... He looks only slightly more put together than her (disguise 14) which mostly has to do with how he carries himself. Thoster just looks at home at these parties.]

Well, well- you're one of our new ones, aren't you? Seems like Wynn picks prettier girls each time.

[pathology]

Maybe he won't have to try so hard now that he's hit the jackpot. [bright smile. SHE IS THE PRETTIEST ONE HERE ALL OTHER CLAIMS ARE DENIED.]

And who are you, exactly?

[bluffcheck]

Where are my manners? Forgive me, lass. [He steps back and gives a really overly exaggerated bow, looking up at the end to wink at her before standing back up fully. (Cha 14 so he's probably an endearing goofball idk)]

Sir Thoster Chatwyn, at your service.

[pathology]

Definitely forgiven. [the endearing goofball thing works for her, ok. or at least it does right now (i.e. until she gets bored).]

You remember my name, right? After the whole big squiring thing.

[bluffcheck]

With a name as lovely as yours, Astrid, I doubt a man could ever forget. [int 18 to remember]

[pathology]

Lovely? [she gives a snort of laughter.] I don't know if I would go that far.

[bluffcheck]

Ah, but it's not just about how far you would go, my dear, but how far any man in his right mind would go to make you see how lovely it truly is. [He holds out a hand.] To the dance floor, for example? [And there's a charming smile to go along with the invitation (cha 15)]

[pathology]

Oh, you're good. [if this is what life in the knighthood is going to be like, bring it on.] I'd love to.

[however, she wore herself out impressively dancing with brantley, so her performance isn't exactly as good the second time. (dex 14) but it could be worse!]

[bluffcheck]

[Thoster is better with his words than his feet but he's not stepping on her toes or anything (Dex 12).]

I do try. Always seems to be easier with the right inspiration. Tell me, Astrid- what made you want to become a Knight?

[pathology]

Knights always seem so cool in the stories and stuff, right? My best friend and I decided to get knighted together.

[bluffcheck]

A friend! Well, isn't that something. If she's half as dazzling as you, we'll all be in trouble.

[pathology]

She's like, the dazzlingest. Second to me, obviously, but she's still pretty killer.

[bluffcheck]

Care to point her out? I'd hate to be struck by awe without warning twice in one night.

[pathology]

Totally! [she points attica our across the room, while she's still doing her whole glued-to-the-wall thing.] She's just trying to be mysterious and stuff.

[bluffcheck]

[Thoster follows her gestures and notices the wallflower.]

Ah, well a drow and mystery are quite a match, aren't they? How did you two meet?

[pathology]

I was throwing a house party. [bluff 16]

[bluffcheck]

[Sense motive 14... so close.]

Oh? A shame I wasn't invited.

[pathology]

It was kind of a drag, though. Excluding Attica. This place seems like it'd be a good place for parties. Does Wynn throw many?

[bluffcheck]

Any time we get new squires. And then there's been a few birthday parties, but those aren't always so elaborate. But there's nothing say we can't throw them just for a bit of fun- if that's what you're getting at.

[pathology]

All I'm getting at is that I love parties.

[bluffcheck]

You'll hear no argument from me there. If you decide to throw one, you'll be sure to find me, won't you?

[pathology]

Of course! You seem like a pretty cool guy. Based on just meeting you, anyway.

[bluffcheck]

Many thanks, lass. I must say it has been a pleasure talking to you as well.
