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.

Easy, killer. You might want to slow down there.

[Look he's not saying no, he just feels the need to give her a hard time.]

But if you really want me to be your wingman, I guess you can always owe me one.

[kineticist]

[She rolls her eyes at him and reaches to tiny pinch him. Hard.] Shut it.

I'm not looking for you to wingman for me. I'm just looking for a drink.

[ex_psionic439]

Owww--jeez! Fine. [Her loss--he's like the best at it. He's rubbing where she pinched him though, because that shit actually hurt.]

[kineticist]

[Of course it hurt. She's his sister. She knows how much of a marshmallow he can be.]

So what've you been up to?

[ex_psionic439]

Nothing that tops invading a sovereign nation with a small army, even if we did get the easy job--not that I'm complaining.

England's pretty boring, now that I'm thinking about it. But at least I don't have to sit around on desk duty anymore.

[kineticist]

The new receptionist, huh? She's... something.

[She's spotted her and just kept on walking.] Are you still with Astrid? [Because maybe she should meet her...]

[ex_psionic439]

Not to mention my sweet promotion for being MVP. [You can't convince him otherwise, sorry.

And then the subject of girlfriend comes up and he's just like--] Technically. Why? [Trust no bitch.]

[kineticist]

Because I haven't met her? Wow, chill. I'm not the Spanish Inquisition here. Just a curious sister wondering how your relationship is going. [ha ha she called it a relationship.]

[ex_psionic439]

It is what it is, I guess. [Was she honestly expecting something else from him though?}

You probably wouldn't have too much in common with her. [Except like, him. o_o]

[kineticist]

[Zoe rolls her eyes at him.]

I'm not looking to date her, just meet her.

[ex_psionic439]

[Why? No, really, that's what the look he gives her seems to ask.]

Planning on pulling out the baby pictures while you're at it?

[He almost ends that by calling her mom but then thinks better of it.]

[kineticist]

I don't have any baby pictures to show her. [Sorry to disappoint, but all that personal shit is probably in storage somewhere. She probably has been paying the bill on that for years.]

If you don't want me to meet her, I'll keep my distance.

[ex_psionic439]

I don't care if you meet her. I just think it's funny that you're suddenly interested in who I'm seeing.

[He had a crazy girlfriend last time she was around tho so he can't really ... blame her. Looks at Astrid. Why does he date batshit insane.]

[kineticist]

Suddenly interested? Look, I haven't seen you in ... forever and now I'm trying to make up for big sister lurking.

[ex_psionic439]

Should we hug it out or something? [Ttly being an ass about it.]

[kineticist]

Yeah, because that's normal. [Such a look.]

[ex_psionic439]

Wow, you're really going to deny me a hug. All right. I see how it is.

[kineticist]

[Zoe laughs.] I didn't realize you were so starved for attention.

[Look, she doesn't want to overstay her welcome here. She'll put her arms out for that hug. Bring it in, Bro.]

[ex_psionic439]

[She should tho. They are kinda the only family each other has left, even if things are a little strained.]

Right. Can I get that in writing and notarized, please?

[He rolls his eyes and gives her a hug though. He wasn't going to not after basically giving her hell for it.]

[kineticist]

Nope. Sorry, I'm all out of favors with the local notary. [She teases as she hugs him.]

Seriously -- I just want to say hi. Maybe tell her some horrible untrue stories.

[ex_psionic439]

Yeah, yeah. If she's around, I'll introduce you. As long as you're not like throwing a dinner party or anything. Deal?

[kineticist]

I'm the Sue Ellen of cooking. A giant bowl. Spoons. Cereal. Calling it waffles.

[ex_psionic439]

[Adam just looks at her like omg you did not. But he can't even pretend not to smile after that ok.]

[kineticist]

[Right? I mean, as "Wonder Twins" powers go - I think using odd references tends to be the thing that makes them okay with each other - no matter the unease of topic.]
