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!

[She gives a small shrug.]

As long as something gets set on fire, I don't really give a shit. I just like seeing things burn.

[sakurasmile]

[an indelicate snort as she just walks up to Malina and links her arm in hers like they're good buddies.] Well, nothin' wrong with that. You'll have to get a mission with me one day. Sir Hasmed enchanted my rapier to produce a nice little bit of fire.

[bredinthebone]

[Ooooh fire blades.]

A girl after my own heart. I'm Malina.

[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.

[bredinthebone]

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

[sakurasmile]

Ah... Sir Alanna. Dragon's Light, I think? Ginger as all get out. Girl after my own heart, honestly. I commend Wynn for his ability to pair people up.

[bredinthebone]

[And she smiles at that.]

Girl after mine, too. Me and Alanna have worked together in the past.

[sakurasmile]

Oh? You're gonna have to tell me embarrassing mission stories about her, then. She has to have a few.

[bredinthebone]

[She laughs.]

We've all had our missteps. But there was that one time we tracked a naga through the sewers with Sir Harrison and Sir Lannister.

[sakurasmile]

[she wrinkles her nose.] Because of course it would've picked a sewer.

[They step outside and Kyomi immediately sets to picking up sticks she finds laying around to build her wicker man effigy of Dimitris.] The average "monster"- and I don't use that word lightly- is as dumb as a box of hair, they say, and yet if you can believe they always accidentally lead you to the worst places on sheer dumb luck, I've got a few things to sell you.

[bredinthebone]

[She laughs.]

I've tracked monsters all over the damn place. From the Arctic and back again - they'll go wherever they want to go.

[sakurasmile]

Fickle bastards. [she continues collecting her twigs.] Making my bloody life difficult. Y'know, I advocate for Shadowkind rights, yeah? Led protest marches and everything, and for every single march? [she gesticulates with a stick] There's at least ten people who throw out the "a naga or a dragon or a bloody Kobold ate my baby, sister, dog, and/or goldfish." As if that paints us all in a bad light.

[bredinthebone]

[She rolls her eyes.]

Yeah. But so could a bear or a wolf or any other mundane animal from this world. Idiots.

[sakurasmile]

And I have yet to see a true political leader demand a war on bears. But of course, it doesn't matter. A bear can't feel marginalized, so where's all the fun for the bigots.

[bredinthebone]

[She shakes her head.]

People are messed up, man. And they sure as hell don't like to change their views.

[sakurasmile]

Which is probably why they're going to vote in a bigoted billionaire as their President.

[bredinthebone]

[She makes a face.]

Ugh, don't remind me. I am ashamed for my country.

[sakurasmile]

Glad I moved out when I did.

[she arranges her sticks in an artful depiction of a man and then surrounds that stick figure with rocks to keep the fire from spreading.] Voila! We can even roast marshmallows over it.

[bredinthebone]

[And once she's given the all clear, Malina will wave her hand and cast flaming sphere, sending a fireball right for the effigy and setting it aflame. As it starts to curl and drop to the ground, she raises her glass and knocks the rest back.]

Still a little mad I didn't get to do that in real life.

[sakurasmile]

There'll be more bigots to set on fire. [she pats her shoulder and sighs at the rising smoke.] Always.

[bredinthebone]

[She nods in agreement.]

Don't we know it.

[She sighs as the fire starts to fizzle out, before turning back to the party.]

I think I need another drink. How about you?

[sakurasmile]

[kyomi inhales through her nose, clearly only as satisfied by this effigy burning as one might expect- it doesn't mean anything. it's just catharsis. nice flaming catharsis.]

Aye. I could use about five, I think.

[bredinthebone]

Then let's go get 'em.

[And off they go to do a lot more drinking. /scene]
