after-party ♔

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 || January 1st, 2013, 6:00PM [backdated]
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.

[When you can't find Prince Charming, why not take a wicked witch? Faye has meant to keep a closer eye on Lissa ever since learning that she knows Rose. But she got distracted by her own life for awhile. After learning that she's going to be promoted, she's pretty much on cloud nine so she approaches the girl with a smile that is not completely fake.]

Lose someone?

[lastdragomir]

Seems like always. [ she says it distractedly before she turns her attention to faye and smiles. ] Hi.

[reallywicked]

Hey. [Its weird how she doesn't hate Lissa on impact. That's how she felt about Rose and Diana. And sort of Lila but then Lila became useful. She doesn't really want to use Lissa for anything except maybe to piss Rose off. For the most part, though, she just doesn't mid talking to the girl.

Ugh is she going soft?]

So who is it this time? Whoever you lost.

[lastdragomir]

[ lissa doesn't mind faye, she's very upfront about the fact that she's a bitch. it's almost refreshing and her snark is familiar. ]

Charming? I usually find him at these, being hopeless. [ she shrugs lightly as to brush it aside. ]

[reallywicked]

Tall? Blonde? Dopey look in his face half the time?

[Yeah I hand wave my characters knowing of each other. WHAT OF IT.]

Maybe he's actually finding something decent to wear this time. [She saw him before you got your hands on him gurl. That guy needs the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy crew to just move on in to help his hopeless self.]

[lastdragomir]

[ i do the same thing, ok.

she snorts out a laugh at faye's summation though and nods. ] That's the one.

[reallywicked]

Haven't seen him but he'll probably turn up. So...you got a thing for him?

[Not everyone is you, Faye...]

[lastdragomir]

[ COMPLETELY TAKEN ABACK which makes her respond with a bit of a "lady doth protest too much" tone. ] No. Not at all.

[reallywicked]

Hey, it's not a big deal. [She thinks you are a lying liar who lies. (Sense motive 9).] He's cute. I wouldn't kick him out of bed.

[lastdragomir]

He's old enough to be my dad! [ ...or older brother? she shakes her head, and repeats, calmly. ] No. I don't have a thing for him.

[ ew. ]

[reallywicked]

[Faye just shrugs.] Don't let that stop you. [She gives a wicked sort of grin but laughs.]

Okay okay- fine. So what do you need with Daddy Charming anyway?

[lastdragomir]

[ she rolls her eyes, omg faye no. ]

Just to talk, that is sort of what friends do. [ did you know that, faye? ]

[reallywicked]

[Shut up! She has friends! Two of them, even!]

You just seemed kinda bummed out.

[lastdragomir]

[ BECAUSE SHE MISSES HER BEST FRIEND AND HER DAD FIGURE IS VANISHED AND spirit makes her a little depressed. she should stop using it, but it's like a compulsion and she can't. ]

Just tired, I guess. You look downright chipper though. It's kind of creepy. [ she is smirking, it's a joke to deflect back to faye, yay! ]

[reallywicked]

Iiiii [She stretches out the word in a way that is probably also creepy.] found out that I'm getting promoted.

[lastdragomir]

[ turning up the creep factor to eleven. luckily, lissa is used to the creepy. she is the creepy. ] Congratulations! [ MOST EARNEST. ]

[reallywicked]

Thanks. [The weird part is that she means it.]

As far as sects go, the Dragons's Fire seems pretty cool.

[lastdragomir]

Magic, right?

[reallywicked]

[She nods.]

Pretty much right after I got here, I figured it out. [That she could cast spells, set things on fire with her mind, etc.]

[lastdragomir]

I can, as well. It's a little different than the magic here though. What can you do?

[reallywicked]

[Because she is predictable as fuck, Faye raises a hand and snaps her fingers to bring a flame to life. She's not even going to say anything. Speaks for itself tbh.]

[lastdragomir]

[ fire! lissa's eyes widen as a smile lights up her pale face. her hand reaches out automatically, drawn to the flame for some reason she can't quite get a grasp on. she's probably gonna touch it... ] Oh!

[reallywicked]

[She keeps her hand still, eyebrow arching in amusement as the blonde's hand nears the little flame. It'll burn like any other fire. But Faye's not going to warn her against it. In fact, when Lissa's hand gets close enough, Faye's eyes flash and the flame leaps up to meet the skin.]

Oops.

[lastdragomir]

[ ouch! she pulls her hand back slightly, lips curving into a pout. ] Turnabout? [ her mildly hurt hand goes back out, palm up, like she's asking faye to hold hands. ]

[reallywicked]

[She's not one to be scared of anything, least of all from someone that seems pretty harmless. She extinguishes the flame in her hand and reaches out towards Lissa's hand with a shrug.]
