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.

[ Fair. ]

I think that's all any of us have.

[She just sort of nods.]

And for what it's worth, this place has helped me deal with a lot of stuff I don't think I could have done on my own.

Not very well, anyway.
forcevisions: (and let your dirty sadness)

Like what? [ she means it to be a harmless question, not as prying as it ... actually is. ]

[She seems to hesitate briefly, her eyes distant before they refocus on the girl in front of her only to fall toward the floor.

She answers, at least.]


After I got here, I started having really bad nightmares. It turned out they were actually memories, and I didn't deal with them very well at first.

[Or at all, lbr.]
forcevisions: (keep my pretty mouth shut)

Memories from before the Veil? I didn't think those came back once they were lost. [ Rey has been lucky: as far as she can tell, she hasn't lost anything (though to be fair, she's not sure if the reason she can't recall her parents' faces is the fault of the Veil or not). ]

No. I must have...repressed them or something. That's what they tell me, anyway. They're not exactly happy.

[Like pretty much everything she's heard about her world, tbh.]

[ so she made herself forget them? yikes. that must be bad. rey doesn't push further. ]

I'm sorry they came back to you, then.

It's okay.

[She's not really great at accepting sympathy, but at least she seems to believe it's genuine and not just out of pity.]

I'm better now.
forcevisions: (i'll be lying right beside you)

[personal profile] forcevisions 2016-04-07 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad that the Knights were able to help you. It sounds like they do it often for Shadowkind, but I hadn't realized quite how big a difference it could make for each of them.

[personal profile] anthophobia 2016-04-10 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Me too.

[She tucks a lock of hair behind one ear. This isn't the easiest thing for her to talk about.]

I'm not usually all that great at working with other people, but I'm trying. I at least owe them that.
forcevisions: (sick of being poised)

[personal profile] forcevisions 2016-04-10 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think you owe anyone anything.

[ Rey shakes her head. ]

But if you think working with them is right, then you should keep doing it.

[That drags the barest hint of a smile out of her, and she sort of ducks her head a bit in a half-hearted nod.]

Hopefully you end up feeling the same way after you've been here awhile.

[Welcome to her awkward way of saying she hopes she sticks around.]
forcevisions: (it's our time now)

[personal profile] forcevisions 2016-04-15 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ With a smile, Rey nods, picking up on the meaning and affirming, ] I hope to be here a while.

Good.

[She glances at the food again briefly before she looks back at her.]

I'm gonna eat something and then go find my mentor. We can...talk again?
forcevisions: (maybe i bit off)

[personal profile] forcevisions 2016-04-19 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
I hope we do.
