after-party ♔ february



Kodo (Inside the Sun remix) - Yoshida Brothers

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 || February 1st, 2014, 6:00PM [backdated]
HOW || Prose OR Actionspam


The "afterparty" is the real main event of the night at every squiring, but t
onight's party is a little different than usual - Faith has successfully lobbied (as in roped people into helping her decorate for) a Chinese New Year's party, or Lunar New Year, theme.  With Knights from all over the world, it was easy to get input from those who traditionally celebrate the holiday, and Wynn is all about the spirit of cultural unity.  Not to mention, the second of the 15 days of the spring festival is all about spending time with one's family and friends.  

The lavish, opulent ballroom has been transformed, filled with red lanterns, peach blossoms, kumquat plants, and chrysanthemums.    People are encouraged to dress in red to ward off evil spirits and bad luck, and avail themselves of the New Year's Cake, golden champagne cocktail, rice pudding, candied fruits, and the Tray of Togetherness.
As always, 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 doesn't even notice Lila's lack of fucks given to her wardrobe. She's always a pretty girl, no matter what she wears, but he also has never really looked at her with that careful of an eye. Despite her bristly nature, he considers her a friend, the poor sap.]

Evening, lass. Mind passing me that morsel? [He's also here for the food. And the everything else, but the food will do for now.]
bittersweeter: (♔ err...)

[personal profile] bittersweeter 2014-02-02 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure do. [ because lila doesn't share food. so. no, she will not not pass him anything. yes, she does mind. seriously, he needs to reflect on his taste in friends. ]

[Wow, Lila. So rude. He doesn't seem that bothered by it, so he just goes to get his own.] Not much in the mood to celebrate... whatever this is meant to be, I take it?
bittersweeter: (♔ bored now)

[personal profile] bittersweeter 2014-02-03 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, not so much. [ she didn't get to keep her dragon cat, now they're just rubbing it in. ]

Something on your mind? [She's listened to him ramble enough- not that he thinks she'lll take him up on it, but he'll ask anyway.]
bittersweeter: (♔ words)

[personal profile] bittersweeter 2014-02-04 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
Just tired. [ and uncomfortable as hell around hook now, which is probably better than just plain disliking him tbh. bust she is pretty exhausted so hey look, she can tell the truth. ] How was your adventure with Andie?

[personal profile] bluffcheck 2014-02-07 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Nearly died. She still can't stand me. Completed the mission, though, so it wasn't a total loss.

[He really just wants to get drunk, honestly.]
bittersweeter: (♔ bored now)

[personal profile] bittersweeter 2014-02-07 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Seriously, dude, cut your losses and find someone else, it's getting sad now. [ wow i hope thoster wasn't looking for comfort because she sure isn't up to giving it. ]
bluffcheck: (pic#3133532)

[personal profile] bluffcheck 2014-02-11 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Aye... Perhaps I should. Seems like she'll never forgive me.

[Ugh. He needs a drink or 10. And some dance partners to remind himself that he's not completely terrible and worthless.]
bittersweeter: (♔ concern?)

[personal profile] bittersweeter 2014-02-11 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ugh. she needs a drink to listen to this crap. she rolls her eyes slightly, because wow she is a teenage psychopath with abandonment issues and even she can get her shit together, and shoves him toward the bar. ] I can't do this without alcohol. Come on.
bluffcheck: (exasperated | nose pinch)

[personal profile] bluffcheck 2014-02-12 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
[He moves without hesitation, shaking his head because he knows how pathetic he sounds.]

Was just thinking that myself. [Once at the bar, he orders a double of whiskey.]
bittersweeter: (♔ chug)

[personal profile] bittersweeter 2014-02-12 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ lila orders her usual pink drink. she is unadventurous, i guess. ]

Okay. Let me sum this up: you lied to her, because you had to and she can't forgive you because, I dunno, she's a dumbass. That pretty much it?
bluffcheck: (pic#3133525)

[personal profile] bluffcheck 2014-02-13 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
She's not dumb by any means, but... that's the gist of it, yeah.
bittersweeter: (♔ err...)

[personal profile] bittersweeter 2014-02-14 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, the fact that I have a more fundamentally healthy relationship is disturbing to me on many levels. Chasing after her is hurting you, so just stop. If she hasn't been able to forgive you yet, for doing the right thing, then she isn't going to. It's bullshit that she says she can't trust you because every time you don't tell her your little secret is proof that you are trustworthy. Okay? So... [ she waves a hand dismissively. ] She needs to put up or shut up and you need to walk the fuck away.

[ there is your rude pep talk! ENJOY! ]

[Here's the thing... As much as he's been chasing after Andie and trying to fix it all, this entire conversation? Is nothing he hasn't already told himself.]

You're right. I know you're right.

[That doesn't make it any easier.]
bluffcheck: (smooth | let's do business)

[personal profile] bluffcheck 2014-02-18 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
It's easier said than done.
bittersweeter: (♔ yell)

[personal profile] bittersweeter 2014-02-18 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ her lips press together in a line. ] Really, I wouldn't have guessed. [ sorry, she just can't summon any more fucks to give for a relationship she isn't in. ]

The first thing you do? Is leave her alone. No more love letters, no more romantic Romeo and Juliet balcony interludes. [ hope you fucking remember that, thoster, in a couple weeks when you do... just that. ] Just stop. Don't talk to her, don't seek her out. If you're going to be a lovestruck teenager when you're around her then you can't be around her.

[He listens. He really does, but he knows that he'll screw that up, because staying away from Andie tends to be the one thing he can't do.]

I appreciate you trying to help, lass. [Because he can't promise to follow her advice to the letter, but he will do what he can. And he does really care about following it all.]
bittersweeter: (♔ r u srs?)

[personal profile] bittersweeter 2014-02-24 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ fighting a losing battle here. ] Whatever. [ two fingers touch her forehead in a dismissive sort of lazy salute. ] The dissolution of your relationship doesn't mean you're getting out of that favor you owe me.
bluffcheck: (pic#3133525)

[personal profile] bluffcheck 2014-02-26 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry? [Genuine confusion. He sort of forgot about that.] Oh- No, I wouldn't dream of it, lass. A deal's a deal.
bittersweeter: (♔ curious cat)

[personal profile] bittersweeter 2014-03-03 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Good. 'cause I'm gonna cash it in one day. [ and she swans off like BLAM gone. zacharov out. ]
