WHO || Wynn, any and all Knights not currently on missions
WHAT || Squiring Ceremony Afterparty
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || March 2nd, 2012, 9:00PM
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 none of you are 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.

[TWICE IN ONE NIGHT WHAT THE FUCK. But after Haymitch he's on edge, and Katniss is like half his size, so he manages to jump out of the way of her assault.]

You don't remember me either, do you? I know it's hard to believe [because you're as kind and cuddly as a goddamn badger], but we were friends.

I don't have friends.

[She looks like the biggest sourpatch ever, and crosses her arms over her chest.]

And if I did, I doubt someone like you would honestly give me the time of day.

[Someone like you meaning someone pretty and attractive, but like hell she's going to give him any hint that she thinks he's a pretty boy.]

I don't remember anything. [This is said in a very sulking, my life sucks, woe is me tone of voice. Clearly, he needs to shed some light on the whole friend issue.]

If you don't remember anything, how can you really know? We worked together. [He's afraid to say he G-word at this point, it might trigger some kind of PTSD-landmine.]

[befree]

We did?

[She's taken off guard by that admission, and it's with wide eyes that she tries so desperately to remember. She can recall flashes of his face, and knows that they must have spoken at several points back home, but she can't recall him or who he is to her.]

Keep explaining. I want to know.

[Hngh his heart. At least he thinks he might actually stand a chance of breaking through to Katniss. After all, he spent more time talking to her at home than he did with Haymitch ... ever.]

We were allies. Allies and friends. [He's going to drive the friends thing home because if he says it enough she'll believe it. >:(] I saved your life a few times. ... And you saved mine.
