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.

[ hella gorg. sorry wynn, this boring ass party just got turned up to 11. basically this is happening because two incredibly attractive women are dancing together like heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey. all the dancing kali knows is from movies, too, so she starts copying elena and eventually turns to loop her arms around elena's neck with a smile. ]

You're a very good dancer.

[Elena rakes a hand through her hair and tosses her head from side to side, curls bouncing.

This is legit them dancing like they don't give a single fuck. Enjoy.]

Well, I have a good partner.

This is true, I am also a very good dancer. I recently watched Footloose.

[ she nods with a cheerful smile, clearly this is it. ]

I...have never heard of that. [Pop culture crit fail. Tiny baby.] Is that a movie?

Yes, it's about the magical power of dance and a wizard named Bacon..

[ sure, that's about right... ]

I knew everything was better with bacon, but I'm not sure that applies to wizards....

[Well this conversation got weird.]

He was rather majestic.

Now that's definitely not a word I've used to describe bacon.

[Pigs were not what she would call majestic creatures. Was it a Wizard Pig? She's so lost.]

I will text you the wikipedia link. [ she is assuming that there is a small disconnect, but ] Have you not had bacon? It's very majestic.

Oh I've had bacon. I just tend to call it sinfully delicious instead.

Ooh, that's a good descriptor!

[As the music ends, Elena reaches out for Kali's hand, intent on leading her toward the bar.]

Come on, drink time. I'm parched. Then maybe we can go for another round.

[ oh parched, kali likes that word. she lets elena lead her to the bar easily and once there orders a double scotch. she doesn't know if that's good or not, but it tastes like fire. ] Alcohol isn't a very good thirst quencher, but scotch is delicious.

[Elena orders a double whiskey and coke, and while she's not as a big a fan of the fire, it does the job it's meant for.]

You caught me. I'm just kinda in the mood to get silly.

Like confetti and silly string? [ it has silly in the name, so... ]

Like drunk.

[As she snags two more shots.]

I've never been drunk before. [ THSI IS EXCITING!!!!!!!! ]

Then you are about to have a very good night.

[Best influence. She hands her the second shot.]

Bottom's up.

[ kali watches elena do hers and then tosses her own shot back the same way, grinning as she sets it down.

...she feels nothing (fort save 28), but makes a face at the burn even though she likes it. ]

I'm not sure I can get drunk, I've never tried.

[Since it's only the first one, she'd doing alright (fort 11) but she's not going to keep up with Kali if this keeps up.]

Anyone can get drunk if they try hard enough. We'll see if you need stronger stuff after a handful of these.

[As she orders two more.]

Okay!

[ trying hard is something kali can definitely do. when the shots arrive she wastes no time tossing it back, already mastering the art of shots. she's a very quick learner. ]

[Elena looks suitably impressed, knocking back her second.]

Whoo.

[It burns so good.]

Now we wait a bit, and come back for more if we need it. Too many too fast and you'll end up sick and that's literally the worst.

Got it. [ she nods a bit, making a mental note. she would literally write it down if she could tbh. ]

Yeah, I don't want to be sick.

Make sure you drink some water too. Staying hydrated is the best way to try and ward off a hangover tomorrow.

[Best influence? Best influence.]

Water, stay hydrated, no hangover. [ she gives elena a soft smile. ] Thanks.
