after-party ♔ september



Jeux d'eau - Ravel

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 || September 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.

[His eyebrows lift as Topher just... downs that drink.]

Uh, maybe slow down a little. I mean if you want to get fucking pissed on your first night as an official squire, go for it, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I've always wondered this, but how come British people say "getting pissed" instead of "getting drunk?" [Topher, he is Irish and also not the point. He cares not.] That makes it sound so negative.

You ever think that it was used to mean getting drunk before Americans decided to make it mean getting angry?

[not even touching the correcting him about being Irish thing yet.]
andblockbuster: (I don't wanna hear about your cat.)

[personal profile] andblockbuster 2015-09-27 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely never.

[...] ...Was that a rhetorical question?

Sure was. [God damn Americans, tbh]

Doesn't matter. But you might want to watch who you ask about slang and stuff. Also, I'm Irish, not British-- just for the record.
andblockbuster: (Your parents don't believe.)

[all your accents sound the same to his horrible american ears. :(]

I've literally only been exposed to this country through British sci-fi and my old boss. Hopefully, there's a learning curve in place here.

You'll figure it out. Just don't forget that pants mean underwear. That's usually an awkward mix up for both sides.
andblockbuster: (My mattress is made of gypsy sluts.)

The wonders of language. It's a beautiful thing. [Topher flails his hands a bit. His sociology nerd side is showing.]

That's a word for it. [He snorts] You'll be alright. And any questions, just ask.
andblockbuster: (I play sports.)

[personal profile] andblockbuster 2015-10-21 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
I do have one question. [he fishes something of his pocket- namely a crumpled piece of paper.] Which one is... [squint] Gregor Hughes?

[For a moment, Andrew just stands there, mouth partly open as if he has no idea who the hell that is. Then, without any warning, he just... busts out laughing.]

Oh shit, that's bloody hilarious, isn't it? [It might be funnier if you explained why it's funny to you, Andrew.]
andblockbuster: (I like rock paper scissors two-thirds.)

[personal profile] andblockbuster 2015-10-26 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Topher looks around as if he's trying to figure out where the hilarious thing is, and then proceeds to just look put out.]

It might be if I was in on the joke?

[personal profile] badexample 2015-10-27 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry- [He tries to catch his breath.]

It's just- Yeah, I know him. He was my mentor and I'm guessing he's yours too. Goes by Zero. He doesn't normally come to these things. You'll have more luck finding him in the computer lab.
andblockbuster: (I play sports.)

[personal profile] andblockbuster 2015-10-27 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow. They gave me a guy who might actually get me. That's so thoughtful.

[a beat.] Soo... what's he like? Is he gonna Mr. Miyagi me and make me defrag all the software in the lab before he'll even teach me anything?

[personal profile] badexample 2015-10-28 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Ohhh no. I had to figure it out all on my own, so I'm not handing over the cheat codes to you at the start. [He laughs again.]

You'll be alright. And if he gets too cranky, come find me.
andblockbuster: (I don't wanna hear about your cat.)

[personal profile] andblockbuster 2015-11-02 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I can actually handle cranky, but... Good to know.

[Most of the people he knew in Pegasus were cranky. It just encourages him to be more insufferable.]

Good. You wouldn't survive otherwise. Well- I should probably go track down my wife before too long. But don't be a stranger, yeah?
andblockbuster: (And everything I want I take.)

[personal profile] andblockbuster 2015-11-10 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[he pats him on the shoulder.] Not a chance, my very tall friend.

[he must constantly surround himself with tall people. it is his life.]
