after-party ♔ december

♬ Jeux d'eau - Ravel

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 || December 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.

[And look who's here to bother Astrid. Brantley is not the type who plays video games, and he doesn't know that people need space when they play. He stands near her, peeking at her phone, she can headbutt him without moving at all.]

Hey lovely, what are you playing?

[He cheerfully crosses the boundaries like there is none.]

[pathology]

Candy Crush. [she seems cheerful to see him and have him in her personal space ... like always ... ] It's a puzzle game. You have to match the candies in groups of three.

[fixyourproblem]

Ooh, seems fun. [Not really, he is not interested in the game, but he is interested in Astrid. He smiles, covering his lie(bluff 31).] Let me try.

[pathology]

This level is really hard. It's probably better if you watch. [sense motive 4. also she is just really tetchy about letting other people use her phone. even cuties.]

[fixyourproblem]

[Well, he tried. Now, back to his routine.]

I can do that, but I prefer watching something much more interesting. Someone rather than something.

[He refers to Astrid, of course, but that's for her to figure it out.]

[pathology]

Well, there's a crocodile under the table over there. [she points towards the punch table, where milah's tail is poking out. (spot 20 total) she's observant. and possesses slippery affections.]

[fixyourproblem]

Well, I-wait what!? [He doesn't see the reptile but he does see some kind of shadowy movement under the table(spot 11). What the hell is a crocodile doing inside the castle? He stares under the table.] Are you sure it's a crocodile?

[pathology]

[knowledge: earth/life sciences 24. she's sure.] What do you think it could be?

[fixyourproblem]

[He stares at the table, trying to make sure what it is. But, nope still same as before.(Spot 14)]I don't know, a rat, maybe? Doesn't a crocodile need to be in swampy water? [Looks like someone failed his 5th grade biology.(know earth/life sciences 6)]

[pathology]

That doesn't mean they can't come out for a visit. ... I guess?

[fixyourproblem]

[Once again Brantley tries to spot the animal, he doesn't see the animal but he does see some kind of tail (spot 16). And it really is a crocodile's tail. He wonders why there is a crocodile inside a party hall, but he has a mission to complete. Not the pirate-y one, but this one.]

Well, I guess it also wants to enjoy the party.

[He laughs. Having his rhythm broken, he decides to start again.] So, how's life? Anything interesting happened?

[pathology]

Not really. [she snorts a little, like the idea of something interesting happening has become laughable.] Just ... hanging around. Catching up on my reading. I'm so bored. I could die.

[fixyourproblem]

Then how about a date with me? I don't have much in my pocket, [He puts on his charming look as he jests.(charm 19)] but going on an adventure with me is better than just hanging around, right?

[pathology]

Maaaybe. What kind of adventure?

[fixyourproblem]

Well, that depends on what kind of things you like and whether you're willing to do things that isn't exactly... legal. [No, he couldn't think less forthright word.]

[pathology]

[eyebrow raise because WHAT.] How illegal are we talking?

[fixyourproblem]

Nothing harmful. It's not like I'm getting you a rocket launcher and let you on a killing spree. Let's just say, as long as we keep quiet, no one would even notice. [He is a white-collar criminal, after all.] But if you don't do that kind of stuffs, we could go on a normal date of course.

[pathology]

Shut your mouth, I love "that kind of stuff." Tell me more.

[fixyourproblem]

Well, which do you like better, under the sea, on the sea, on the ground or in the air?

[pathology]

... I'll stay on the ground, thanks.

[fixyourproblem]

Then, on the ground it'll be.

[He cheerfully answers.]

I'm going on a mission next week, so let's have the date after I return, okay?

[pathology]

Sure, okay! I I'm not busy, too. With ... you know ... my own missions and stuff.

[fixyourproblem]

Great, I'll call you. [And off he goes.]
