WHO || Wynn, any and all Knights not currently on missions 
WHAT || Squiring Ceremony Afterparty
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || Mar 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.

Then there's a good chance we might be fighting side-by-side someday. All the more reason to see what you're capable of.

[He can certainly appreciate it, though again they do have reputations they should probably be trying to uphold. Seeing as they've only been officially in this organization for a couple of hours, max.]

I don't plan on underestimating you. It'd probably be a good idea for you to do the same.

[She kept trying to bait him and yet now, he wasn't biting, Rose maybe more than a little disappointed by that. It was funny really. He was hardly the first person she'd flirted with all night, he was however the first she actually meant it with, which should have perhaps told her something...]

Ohhh I see. So you want to be sure that I won't drop the ball in the field?

[Brow raised, half teasing but perhaps just a touch serious now, Rose able to switch between flirting and duty with a snap of the fingers.]

Don't worry Comrade. [She winked, though not in the flirtatious way she had been up until this point, more as if to suggest that the challenge, was accepted.] I wouldn't dream of it.

[likeagod]

Not at all. Everyone has a style, and adjusting to that style is important. I'm sure you're capable, or you wouldn't be here.

[He already sees them all as equals. And he's pretty sure she's more than meets the eye.

His mouth may not have pulled into a grin, but he was still smiling at her with his eyes.]

Excellent.

[And then the song ended...or it may have been two or three, he wasn't sure, and he stilled his movements.]

We should mingle a bit more. [As loathe as he was to say it.] I'm sure we'll see each other again soon.

[littledhampir]

I guess you could say I hold my own.

[Lips twitching a little as she made that comment. Wynn had called her out on her training and she wondered if maybe Dimitri had some idea that she wasn't just one of the other Squires. Funny thing? She got the feeling he wasn't either.]

We should. [She agreed and yet even though they had stopped dancing, she didn't make any move to pull away, not immediately anyway. She was too busy playing out a little fantasy that involved him cupping her face and pressing his lips to - oh god dammit Rose!]

We should. [Lips pressing together in same weak attempt to hide what she'd been thinking.] But I'll be seeing you around Dimitri. You can be sure of that.

[Rose finally releasing him and oh so reluctantly taking a step back.]
