party ♔ ding-dong the dick's dead

[recruited]

WHO || Everyone. Everyone come if you're not on a mission.
WHAT || A party to celebrate Dimitris Sarandis sleeping with the fishes.
WHERE || Knights HQ. The fancy ballroom.
WHEN || Mid-March 2016.
HOW || Prose or actionspam welcome.

Cordelia and Steve have gotten together to plan a rather fun party to celebrate Sarandis being taken down. Abbie even managed to grab them a rather awesome band to entertain the guests and everything else was hand picked and decided on by Cordy and Steve. It's not as fancy as a squiring after party, but it's just as fun. The ballroom has been "dressed down" a little to match the relaxed atmosphere. Enjoy yourselves!

[ Steve takes her drink from her and puts hers and his own on a table. He reaches out to take her hand and leads her to the dance floor. Apparently Steve has been sneaking in some practice (dance 18). Who with? We'll never know. Maybe Jack. ]

I'll keep an eye on your toes. [ He smiles down at her. ]

[watcherjunior]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Mark was a one-off thing. I mean, what's the likelihood of us having another royal hidden among our ranks?

[beatupgrass]

[FUCK YOU, CORDELIA. he's just gonna approach the door, because fuck you and also he's done taking this shit.]

You work in a place for over a flarkin' year and what does it get you? This bullshit. Let me in, princess. I need a stronger drink.

[sakurasmile]

Kyomi. [she winks.] Newly minted squire... I guess a few months isn't "newly minted," but fox or not, I'm not quite cocky enough to call myself anything more than green.

[beatupgrass]

I meant I might've smashed your skull in with it. I realize you ain't ever been in a bar fight, but I have.

[he huffs. anyway that isn't the important part. he's just gonna go limp in her arms like a stuffed animal.] So did the bastard die ugly?

[beatupgrass]

[his ears flatten to his skull and he looks uncomfortable under her scrutiny, until he turns away.] They didn't take anything I hadn't already lost a long time ago.

[which is still, very obviously transparent.]

[felidity]

I think so, too. There are usually tiny little cakes at the squiring parties and that's really the only reason I go. [ petit fours are really important to her. ] I also deeply appreciate pie, but it only seems common around Thanksgiving and Christmas.

[felidity]

There is buffalo chicken pizza, that's my favorite, how did you know! [ is that not what she's supposed to be excited about? ]

[impetere]

[Her face softens a bit, before she nods, pulling one knee up to her chest.]

It doesn't mean it doesn't matter though.

[likeababyduck]

[He nods.]

Yeah. I haven't been on active mission duty for a long time, but I remember what it's like.

[bredinthebone]

[She gives a small shrug.]

We work hard. Might as well party hard.

[pathology]

Kind of? [lmao she mindlessly pets him if he's just going to hang out in her arms ok.] I mean, he and King Mark or whatever got into this really dramatic duel, and they were pretty evenly matched. Then Mark left him like, almost dead, and his girlfriend went to talk to him, and Dimitris tried to stab her in the back. But Rose like, jumped in front of her and impaled him with a stake like he was a vampire or something. So he didn't die gently.

[bredinthebone]

A few months isn't a bad chunk of time to have under your belt. Who are you squired to?

[ambitionist]

I mean, I guess it could be fun ... with the right people ... [he raises his eyebrows in case that wasn't clear enough. you. he means u girl.]

[supertardiness]

Bad guys never do. They always have to try and come back on top again. Especially if they got their ass handed to them.

[supertardiness]

Actually, I disagree.

[He pauses as he takes another bite of his cake, shaking his head.]

Pie is for any occasion. In all kinds of flavors.

[watcherjunior]

[ She raises her eyebrows in surprise. ]

Really? Why no active duty?

[allmydreams]

[She nods.]

Okay. I get that. He's not part of the team anymore. But that doesn't mean other members of the team aren't going to make mistakes.

[recruited]

Mistakes are different from blatantly not caring who you hurt.

[ At least that's how Steve gets it. ]

[likeababyduck]

I'm a psychologist. I figured I'd be better help here, since I'm not really that much of an asset in the field. So the work is still rewarding, just a different kind of rewarding.

[bredinthebone]

[She's drunk but she's not that drunk. Instead she grins at him before taking his arm.]

C'mon. We need more shots.

[watcherjunior]

I'm sure there's plenty you could do in the field. I mean, we can't all be fighters or wield magic and everything.

[allmydreams]

What about caring about who does get hurt?

[likeababyduck]

Yeah, but while I get over excited about the actual investigative work, I'm better in the office. And I like helping here. Sometimes knights need someone to talk to who can be objective and impartial.

[recruited]

I'm standing right here because I care.

[ He's never going to get on board with what happened out there. Steve's old and stubborn. ]
