WHO || Wynn, any and all Knights not currently on missions
WHAT || Squiring Ceremony Afterparty
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || April 1st, 2012, 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.

I'm really not sure sexual tension's the best way to start out here, anyway. We've got a lot of training to do.

[bittersweeter]

Yeah, training is so much fun. You know who you might like? Eric. He loves training.

[flyingsolo]

I assumed the actual missions were where we got to have fun.

[bittersweeter]

[Hmm. Her little whatever with Thing One and Thing Zero wasn't exactly what she would call fun. Which is the only reason she answers honestly instead of some flippant remark.]

Maybe they start out that way.


[wow that was the wrong icon up there, what even?]

[flyingsolo]

Well, it's not all gonna be fun and games, no. But it seems like the place where the real thrills lie.

[bittersweeter]

Mmm, I think that's the amusement park. [Lila can't even begin to know where the thrills lie in this place. She's the worst person to talk about thrills anyway, since her thrill of choice involves Jedi mind tricking unconscious people.

Whoops.]

[flyingsolo]

Amusement park? [ wat is that ]

[bittersweeter]

Are you? You're not. Are you serious?

[Wow. That sucks. How does one begin to describe Coney Island or the pier at Brighten Beach?]

[flyingsolo]

I'm not exactly from around here.

[bittersweeter]

Neither am I. [Hello, does she sound British?

Which, she knows (thinks) is not what the other girl mean, so she doesn't say out loud. But it's still odd to her, the idea that even though this world isn't hers, not all the others are as similar.]

They have rides and games and... [It's surprisingly hard to explain an amusement park.] Cotton candy.

[flyingsolo]

You mean like a carnival.

[bittersweeter]

Yes! But permanent with more rides, I guess.

[flyingsolo]

Do they have racing?

[bittersweeter]

Depends, I guess. They probably have car racing in Daytona. [She makes a face, NASCAR is gross.]

[flyingsolo]

I meant like speeders. Or ships.

[bittersweeter]

[Sorry what?]

Sure.

[flyingsolo]

Have you ever rode one?

[bittersweeter]

Nope. Not that I recall.

[flyingsolo]

I've yet to see a space worthy ship on this whole planet.

[bittersweeter]

[Oh, space ships. Well, she still doesn't care much, actually.]

I don't think we've got the technology for that yet.

[flyingsolo]

Why does that not surprise me.

[bittersweeter]

'cause you've tried googling on your phone in bed and the service here sucks?

[How are the two related, you ask, well, if they've got spaceships, Lila would hope they've have really great cell service.]

[flyingsolo]

Tried what?

[bittersweeter]

[Sorry, but what?]

Seriously?

[flyingsolo]

New here. Remember?
