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 || March 1st, 2015, 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.

[ snort, he lifts his glass like cheers to that. CHEERS TO FUCKING THAT. ] My favorite squiring party pastime.

[ambitionist]

[he'll raise his glass back hell yeah cheers.] Pretty much the only reason I come to these things, so.

[druidisms]

I stopped going after... a year? I only show up now if I have a squire. I'm not Wynn's poster child of good manners, but he doesn't give a shit.

[ambitionist]

Good policy. I mean, it's not like he's taking attendance, so fuck it. [he's gonna drink to that yeahhhh.]

[druidisms]

I haven't seen Zero at one of these... [ he trails off because lmao he doesn't remember. maybe never????????? ] Anyway, it's good for the booze, but so's the bar.

[ambitionist]

Yeah, but the after-parties have more of a ... well, party atmosphere. It brings out the social drinker in me.

[druidisms]

Ah. [ he nods. ] Makes sense.

[ambitionist]

What, are you more the type to hole up in your room with a bottle of Boone's Farm? Is that where you've been all this time?

[druidisms]

It what I was trying to do. Nah, I was in New York, working.

[ambitionist]

Lucky. [he misses new york so much :( ]

[druidisms]

Lan took a boat to New York, with his horse, just to talk to me about my life and my choices. I had a horse parked at my parking meter. It was not the relaxing months off I was looking for.

[ambitionist]

[he snorts a laugh] But, come on, now you've got this funny story to tell. You gotta admit, that's hilarious.

[druidisms]

[ dis face. ] No, Lan and New York don't mix, shouldn't mix. I thought he was going to have a coronary. I thought I was going to have a coronary. And this was after Astrid broke in to surprise me and after Malina and Helen showed up unannounced. I had to come back here to get some fucking privacy.

[ambitionist]

Sounds like you learned a valuable lesson. I should've international booty called you.

[druidisms]

Wouldn't have minded that. [ they could have played six degrees of separation with guys they've fucked. :D

to be fair he didn't mind helen, malina, or lan visiting after the initial LEARN TO USE A FUCKING PHONE. but he does love his privacy. ]

[ambitionist]

Maybe next time.

[jk never :( ]

[druidisms]

Maybe. Anyway, I'll be here for now, puts a damper on the international.

[ambitionist]

I'm okay with that. Saves me all that time and effort.

[druidisms]

Your laziness might be my favorite quality of yours.

[ambitionist]

I'm not lazy.

[druidisms]

Mmm, fine. Laidback, creatively inactive. Effortlessly chill. [ get it. effortless. ha! he's so funny. ]

[ambitionist]

I like the word efficient.

[druidisms]

Someone's called you lazy before, haven't they?

[ yes. she has. ]

[ambitionist]

Probably. I don't see why it matters.

[druidisms]

It doesn't. What have you been up to since I've been gone?
