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.

You'd be amazed what you can do when you're working on a Queen's salary. [ her smile is preening, but still genuine ]

[allmydreams]

[She laughs.]

That is so true. My big fat paycheck is definitely one of the many perks of this job.

[Not that she wasn't used to this lifestyle previously, thanks to her previous job, but at least here she doesn't feel like she has to be quite as sneaky about spending her money.]

[allaboutme]

It wouldn't feel right to come live in Europe and not be able to keep up with the latest season.

[allmydreams]

I couldn't agree more. Which is why my credit card has far more wear and tear on it than it probably should.

[allaboutme]

Nobody's ever actually looked at those reports closely, have they?

[allmydreams]

Probably not, or someone might have taken it away from me already.

[Not to say that she doesn't do the proper amount of saving, but ... she does her fair share of spending too.]

[allaboutme]

Maybe Wynn's just a wizard at the stock market.

[allmydreams]

Well, if your organization was around when the thing began, you're bound to have had enough practice.

[allaboutme]

Is that how old this place is? No one seems to really know.

[allmydreams]

[She gives a small shrug.]

This much wealth and influence? I think it's definitely a safe assumption. This kind of stuff doesn't just crop up overnight.

[allaboutme]

I don't know. Maybe Wynn won the Powerball.

[allmydreams]

[She smirks.]

That would be a unique take on the "What would I do if I won the lottery?" question. "Use it to fund a secret society of knights bent on saving the world."

[allaboutme]

Maybe he's one of the few people who didn't have seven credit cards to pay off.

[allmydreams]

I guess we'll never know until we ask him.

[allaboutme]

I'll leave that one to you.

[allmydreams]

[She nods for a moment before glancing down at her glass.]

I am not sure I'm sober enough for that conversation right now, but I will ask later and get back to you.

[And she will. She's just going to do it in a more current thread.]

[allaboutme]

Oh, I am so here for that. [ SOME DAY. for now, i guess they can... talk shoes awhile ok ok ]

[allmydreams]

[Yep. So much talk about shoes. /scene]
