WHO || Wynn, any and all Knights not currently on missions (Slovechnia group will be returned by this point!)
WHAT || Squiring Ceremony Afterparty
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || Feb 1st, 2013, 6:00PM
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.

[Her eyes dance with her approval at his reaction. She winds her arm around his and walks the pair of them away from the crowds and towards the dance floor.]

Sir Killian, wasn't it? [She asks, eyes roaming as she appraises him openly.] I'm Faye.

[unhand]

Most just call me Hook. [He puts his real hand at her back and offers her the hook to hold. It makes him a rather lopsided dancer (dex 6). Probably doesn't help that he's had a few glasses of rum already, but he tries!]

[reallywicked]

Hook. [She repeats as he holds up the namesake in question. Instead of grabbing on, Faye lets her fingertips run the length of the curved metal, dragging her eyes up to his.

She doesn't mind his dancing, but that may have to do with the few drinks she's had as well.] So how do you like our little castle?

[unhand]

It's lovely. [He's been to a lot of castles in his day, of course. Usually to steal things. This one is so much more... residential than any of those have been.] But not so lovely as its inhabitants.

[reallywicked]

[She only smirks at the compliment, not blushing or tripping over herself at his attentions. She's not only used to it, but expects it. They're cut from the same cloth, really... all arrogant confidence and raised eyebrows.]

Aren't you a charmer?

[unhand]

I do try to be a gentleman. [He spins her.]

[reallywicked]

[Faye is quite light on her feet (Dex 17). She twirls under his arm, coming back gracefully into the step.]

A gentleman... a Knight... a man with a hook for a hand.

I call that one hell of a man.

[unhand]

[He pulls her against him as she finishes the spin, grinning, in a decidedly un-gentlemanly way.] And if you add pirate to the mix?

[reallywicked]

Really? Hmmm... now that does make things interesting. [She matches his grin with her own wicked expression.] Should I be worried you'll make me walk the plank?

[unhand]

[He continues to move, holding her close.] Could be. But I can think of decidedly more interesting things to do with my plank than walking it.

[reallywicked]

[She doesn't seem to mind his invasion of her personal bubble. In fact, she drags her teeth over her bottom lip while purring an approving noise barely audible over the music.]

Well... let's just say that I'm very interested in trying new things.

[unhand]

Suppose I qualify as new, do I? [He spins her out and back in towards him, then dips her.] I can live with that.

[reallywicked]

[She moves with him, letting him push and pull her around the dance floor. When he dips her, she lets out a coy little laugh.] I bet you can. [She glances out of the corner of her eyes, then focuses on him, her tone dropping to something more serious and quiet.]

Do you want to get out of here?

[unhand]

[He casts a glance past her, at Emma, who is probably trying very hard not to notice what he's doing. Then he looks back at Faye with a grin.]

Yeah. All right.

[Like Emma cares what he does. He might as well enjoy himself.]

[reallywicked]

[She catches that look (spot 16) but chooses to ignore it. So what if he's concerned about someone else before deciding to go with her? She's got no issue stepping on someone's territory. Plus, he's brand new and there's no way someone called dibs on the pirate already.

With a triumphant little smile, she loops one finger around the curve of his hook and twists herself around to rest his wrist on her shoulder, leading him out of the hall.]

[unhand]

[YOU DON'T GET TO CALL DIBS HE DOES WHO HE WANTS and... he follows her eagerly enough, then stops her as soon as they're out of sight. There's always the chance he's misreading her intentions, of course, and the fastest way to find out is to kiss her.]

[reallywicked]

[Faye spins around when he stops her.]

Something wrong? Don't tell me you've changed your mind.

[unhand]

[He pauses to scoff because of course he hasn't. Then he presses her against the wall and kisses her hard.]

[reallywicked]

[She doesn't mind that course of action at all. Her hands instinctively move to his neck, holding onto him and making it more than obvious that she doesn't plan to just be a passive part of this. She also tries to assert her power in the situation by nipping at his bottom lip- not hard enough to draw blood by any means, but just a little reminder of who had this bright idea.]

[unhand]

[He certainly doesn't mind. He slips his hands down to her ass, pulling her hips against his, and only then does he break the kiss.] How close is your room?

[reallywicked]

[Faye groans against his mouth as he pulls her body closer to his. She arches, grinding herself against him for just a moment.

She's shameless, truly.]

Not close enough. [Which could mean that they may end up in someone else's if she gets impatient on the way.]

[unhand]

Better get going. [Whatever, he's not picky. He kisses her again as he pulls her away from the wall, heading towards the squire bedroom area.]

I'm not even kidding. I random rolled again and got emma's room......

[reallywicked]

[She's not opposed to letting him lead the way, but only because he's doing exactly what she has in mind anyway. Once they reach the squire's halls, she grabs a doorknob at random and throws it open. The room inside looks nice and more than that... it's empty.]

In here.

aslkdjf I love you

[unhand]

[It's a pretty room. Hook sure doesn't recognize it. Maybe Emma should have brought him here earlier to avoid these awkward situations. He presses the door closed and kisses her against it.]

Nice place. Bit sweeter than I'd expect from you.

[reallywicked]

It's not mine. [She says before attacking his mouth more hungrily, hands grabbing at his clothes to pull him tighter against her.]
