after-party ♔ april

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 || April 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.

logan/wolverine ♔ ota.

[adamantiumed]

[ logan, as a general rule, does not come to these damn things. socializing is not his scene on a good day. but maybe he was walking by and wandered in to pick up some booze, which explains why he didn't even bother to dress the part. ]

[meta]

[Deadpool's just going to sneak up behind Wolverine and try and stretch a tape measure out to get a reading on his height. Yep. This is happening. Also that's a disguise check of 18. He's a sexy merc tonight.]

[adamantiumed]

[ with a single snikt, a blade cuts that tape measure strip neatly in half. over his shoulder, logan says: ] Whoops. Slipped.

[meta]

[Deadpool sighs dreamily.] So cool. Way too tall, but so cool. I'm so glad we're both X-Men.

[adamantiumed]

Still waitin' to see your official membership card on that one.

[meta]

Oh yeah, I got it right here. [He pats down his pockets, then pulls out a card.] Man, only having pockets instead of eight thousand pouches is great. I can find stuff!

[adamantiumed]

Somehow I don't remember the Professor's signature lookin' quite like that.

[meta]

I don't remember you getting a growth spurt. A lot of stuff changes when you're from different worlds.

[adamantiumed]

Same one as Frost, by any chance?

[keptbiting]

[ in a departure from deadpool, amelia pond also makes her way over to logan, looking pretty and friendly (disguise 28). because he just needs a sassy redhead in his life. she offers a cheerful smile. ]

Dinner jacket not your thing?

[adamantiumed]

Doesn't really go with the sideburns.

[keptbiting]

Oh I dunno, fitted dinner jacket, mussed up hair, you'd look like a scruffy double-oh.

[adamantiumed]

The subtle spy guy approach was never really my bag.

[keptbiting]

Well, let's be honest here, is it really Bond's bag either?

[adamantiumed]

Guess you've got a point.

[keptbiting]

'course I do, mate. [ she pats his arm, ostensibly to soothe, but the way her hand lingers makes it clear she's just checking out the gun show. ]

[adamantiumed]

[ he notices ok. his eyes drift down to her hand, and then back up her arm. at least he looks amused. ] And what's your story, Red?

i wasn't going to tag into this but i have a rule about emma/logan

[telepathy]

Now there's an uncanny sight.

[ Emma's here in a white pantsuit, chilling like she's been here so often she doesn't bother to go full-formal for them anymore. ]

it's a solid rule

[adamantiumed]

Maybe your eyes are playin' tricks.

[telepathy]

I am the tricks, darling.

[ That's ~her thing~ ok. But she looks solidly amused, or as much as one can when her face is mostly frozen into resting bitch face. ]

What is it that's lured you out into proper society? I didn't think anything could.

[adamantiumed]

You consider this 'proper society' now? Wouldn't think it would measure up to your impossible standards.

[telepathy]

You would be correct. [ Calmly said. ] Rather, I've learned to adjust my expectations as they apply to you. After all, we can't expect miracles.

[adamantiumed]

Frankly, this place stretches the bounds of what I'm willing to believe already.

[telepathy]

I would have thought it much more difficult to surprise a man of your life experience. Perhaps the bar isn't so high after all.

[adamantiumed]

Summers and I half managed to get along in this world. Pretty sure that's as high as bars get.
