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.

Fucking regrettably. [ she says it without looking at willow, but after a moment turns to face her, lips automatically twisting into a coy smile. ] Hey ginge, how's tricks?

[olreliable]

[She gives a shrug, trying to look casual.]

Fine. Just studying magic and getting the hang of this whole...knight thing. You?

[bittersweeter]

The usual. [ does willow know what the usual is? does lila care? much like how many licks it will take to get to the center of a tootsie pop, the world may never know. ]

You're looking pretty tonight.

[olreliable]

[Is she? Well I rolled a 15 disguise so I guess she dressed herself decently this time. Character growth~ ]

Thanks. You too.

[bittersweeter]

[ lila would have said it anyway, gonna make that crush last ok. she tosses her hair over her shoulders, smiling in a smug, self-assured way. hell yes she looks pretty. ]

I know.

[olreliable]

[Its still there. She may have moved down a slot in the crush list because of a certain half elf.]

So...you're not all that excited about your squire?

[bittersweeter]

Not especially. Maybe he'll surprise me. [ she does not seem convinced of that. ]

[olreliable]

He? Oh, is it Doyle? [Just saying her convo with him was first. Also changing that wording since there's more than one dude in the batch.]

He seems nice.

[bittersweeter]

He's okay. He better be okay. [ ain't no squire of hers going to be some washed up piece of trash ok ok. ]

[olreliable]

[She takes a small step back. Lila calm down.]

I'll uh...keep my fingers crossed?

[bittersweeter]

[ can't stop, won't stop. ]

Did you already make friends with him?

[olreliable]

I guess? We talked about what people do around here for fun. I think I'm going to show him the library at some point.

[bittersweeter]

[ that's darling. absently, she scoops her necklace free from her boobs, twisting the chain around her fingers. ]

Are you gonna give him magic lessons? [ bb witch, 2 cute. ]

[olreliable]

Oh! I don't know... He just asked what people did for fun here so I told him the library was pretty cool.

[Nerdiest of nerds tbh. Also quit bringing attention to your chest, Lila. That's rude.]

[bittersweeter]

[ naw, she's gonna keep fiddling with the necklace tbh. ]

That's precious.

[olreliable]

I was just trying to be friendly...

[bittersweeter]

Not everyone goes to the library for fun, Willow. There's a bowling alley. And a movie theater. And he's Irish, so I'm sure he'd be interested in the bar.

[ #racism. ]

[olreliable]

I offered him those things! He's the one who said I could show him the library.

[bittersweeter]

Hmm, maybe you've met your match. [ speaking of... ] Whatever would Aurelius say?

[ oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh. ]

[olreliable]

What? [She jumps a little and flushes.] I mean... why would Aurelius care? Did he... did he say something to you?

[bittersweeter]

No. We don't really talk about that stuff, he blushes too easily, it's not even fun.

[olreliable]

What stuff? Me stuff? I mean it shouldn't make him blush to talk about me...

[And then, maybe ever so hopeful to be wrong???]

...Right?

[bittersweeter]

Any kind of stuff that isn't magic or television, honestly. And clothes.
