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.

[ with his 26 disguise, colin is impeccably put together, as one would expect from his ranking member of the tongue. ] Katniss, wasn't it? I was beginning to think La Krail might have driven you off.

[Katniss bristles, her expression not so pleased when she looks over at him. Are you talking shit about her mentor? You better not be throwing shade, sir.]

He's one of the only reasons I'm still here, actually. [So deadpan.] Who are you, again?

Sir Colin Banks, pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[At least one of them is good at this conversation thing.]

If you say so. [An awkward beat.] Was there something you wanted?

Well, it is a party. I try to take advantage of them to speak to people I don't know very well.

Oh.

[She's so good at this.]

I don't come to these things very often. Or I didn't. Since I wasn't around.

I imagine there are a great deal of new faces. There are times where I've had to leave for quite a long time myself and I'm always a bit disoriented upon returning.

I didn't really have time to get too used to it the first time.

[Between missions and being something of a psychiatric mess. It's not like she really...talked to very many people even when she was here, but w/e.]

But at least now I know what to expect.

It's the moment we start to believe that that something unexpected tends to happen.

[personal profile] anthophobia 2016-02-22 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I know what to expect in the event that there isn't a terrorist attack in the middle of a squiring party.

[She doesn't need these life lessons right now.]

I don't need more reasons to be on edge all the time, thanks.

Now, now. I didn't mean to imply everything that's a surprise need be a bad one.

[personal profile] anthophobia 2016-02-23 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
I don't like surprises.

[They're all bad, okay. Even the 'good' ones.]

Besides, I don't think this place has seen any that aren't bad. Not since I first got here, anyway.

It does seem that we're passing through something of a dark time recently, yes. But I imagine it's not the first the Knights have seen, and they've come through those in the past as well.

I bet not everyone did.

[Just saying.]

They sure could use some good news, though. [She looks out at the crowd, her voice softening ever so slightly.] Everyone looks happy enough because it's a party and they're supposed to be, but there's no way it's that simple. Not right now.

[personal profile] diplomatics 2016-02-24 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
They're trying to forget, at least for a moment.

[personal profile] anthophobia 2016-02-24 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Unless they're dealing with it too, that's only going to make it worse.

[She looks away, shrugging her shoulders.]

It's none of my business, though.

[personal profile] diplomatics 2016-02-25 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose not. I'll leave you to it, then.
anthophobia: (pic#4439598)

[personal profile] anthophobia 2016-02-25 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. See you around.

[And then she'll just...wander away awkwardly. Socializing like this is hard.]
