party ♔ ding-dong the dick's dead

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!

[ She snorts a laugh, smiling. ] Can't talk; too tasty? It'll be the new TL;DR. [ She points out a particular tray. ] Definitely try those. If only to keep me from eating them all and regretting it later.

Saving people from their regrets, that's me.

[He piles up on the tray she's referring to, before shifting to hold out his hand to her.]

I'm Lance.

[ She takes his hand, giving a friendly shake. ] I'm Dawn.

So, did you intend to arrive to this shindig fashionably late, or was coming here a happy accident? [ Cause any accident that involves food is definitely a happy one. ]

[He gives a small shrug.]

Little of both. I didn't realize the party would be ... this much of a party.

It's definitely something different. [ She pauses to take a drink from her cup. ] I think most of us are used to the parties after the squirings and knightings? So it's a nice change. Although I highly doubt we're gonna see like... Wynn. Or any of the section heads, really.

I don't know.

[He gives a bit of a grin.]

Dovan's great at a party.

Point. The man does like a party. I haven't seen it in a while. Absence, heart, fonder.

Oh, did you miss the last big knighting ceremony? Seems like the Hide had a pretty good throw down not that long ago.

Yeah, I've sorta missed, like, all the knighting ceremonies. I mean, recently. Except my own.

[His eyebrows go up a bit and he nods.]

Long mission?

A long few. [ She half-shrugs. ] All part of the gig, right?

[He nods.]

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

[ She raises her eyebrows in surprise. ]

Really? Why no active duty?

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.

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.

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.

Fair point. [ She gives him a sheepish smile. ] I probably get a little too enthusiastic, sometimes. So, do you have your own office and everything?

Enthusiasm is not a bad thing. At least not in my book.

[He nods.]

Recently remodeled thanks to Sarandis' attack, but yeah. It's my own office space.

Not bad, enthusiasm. Just sometimes, not... [ She thinks for the right word. ...appropriate?

Yeah, I imagine a lot of people had their personal spaces remodeled via attack. Yet another reason we're all here, right?

[He nods in agreement.]

Yep. Now we can continue to rebuild without fear of it going boom again.

[ She nods, then stops. Considering. ] At least, not going boom from him again. Hopefully, not ever again.

[He nods in agreement.]

I will second that. If he's gone, then chances are good that it won't.

I'll drink to that. [ But considering she doesn't have a drink right now... ] Or snack to it. Either way, it's toast-worthy.

[He smirks in return before holding up the finger food in his hand.]

Cheers.

[He takes a bite before glancing back towards the music.]

Want to dance?

[ She's mid-chew when she tries to answer, but catches herself. She's already done that once, a repeat performance would just be mortifying. Once it's safe... ] Yes! I'd totally love to.
