after-party ♔ january



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 || January 22, 2016, 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.

[ Leia dresses well (disguise 19), her outfit is practical and comfortable, and she's enjoying the chance to mingle. When she sees Rey looking a little lost, she makes her way over, hands folded behind her back with a soft smile on her face. ]

You've never seen a party like this, have you?

[ She shakes her head, well out of her element. ]

I've never even imagined they could be like this. Is it really just because of the squiring?

It is. We're glad to have you. [ She might not personally connect with every new squire, but she appreciates that they're here. Rey, though, is special. She knows them, and Leia feels a connection to her because of that. ]

Don't feel obligated to mingle with everyone, though. [ If Rey has never experienced this before, it must feel overwhelming enough as it is. ]
forcevisions: (we put your curse in reverse)

[ She nods, a slightly appreciative smile scrunching her nose and leading her to glance away from Leia to the other partygoers. She doesn't do well with showing when she's touched for long. ]

There's so many of them; did all of the Knights come through the Veil, like we did?
useagoodkiss: (the way you know about a good melon)

[ There's much about Rey's life that intrigues her. She thinks they might even be able to understand one another quite well. ]

Not all of them. Some are native to this world. [ Which prompts another question. ] What did you think when you first arrived?
forcevisions: (on my bedroom floor)

[personal profile] forcevisions 2016-01-27 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
That I would never find Luke Skywalker.

[ Not exactly what Leia was going for, she's sure, but it's the truth. ]

This world is so different from any planet I've seen in every way.
useagoodkiss: (Staring at you in "personal growth")

[personal profile] useagoodkiss 2016-01-31 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ Not the answer she was expecting, but it's insightful nonetheless. It speaks to who Rey is, where her heart lies.

The mention of Luke again makes her heart lurch. ]


I felt the same way about this world when I first arrived. [ There's so much here that's nothing like Alderaan. ] I wish I could remember the man you're rescuing, but the Veil took those memories. [ She smiles faintly. ] You have my gratitude, though. [ She doesn't need to remember Luke to appreciate that a young woman who hardly knows them is committed to finding her brother. ]
forcevisions: (i just wanna sit around)

[personal profile] forcevisions 2016-02-01 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Heartened by that faith, a small smile flutters to Rey's lips, and she nods. ]

I'm happy to help. Really. I only wish that I could have completed that mission for you, allowed you the chance to see him again, before I was brought here. There really is no way back, is there?
