after-party ♔ may



Jeux d'eau - Ravel

WHO || Wynn, any and all Knights not currently on missions (brazil & nevada groups will be returned! if you are uncertain if your character would be at the castle for this, ask!)
WHAT || Squiring Ceremony Afterparty
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || May 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.

Just Spike's fine. I don't go for all that formality bollocks.

That's a relief.

[He's never been so good with formality nonsense. Especially honorifics. Not for many years now.

Though now he's wondering if Spike was around to watch either of his earlier disasters. He really fucking hopes not.]


I've never been too great at remembering to use them.

In all seriousness right now, though. You have to tell me where I can get a jacket like that.
bigbad: (You did not think)

[personal profile] bigbad 2013-05-04 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Spike preens because he really loves the coat and too many people whose names are Buffy have mocked him about it.]

I stole it off a bloke in Chicago.

[A beat.]

To, uh, aid in a mission. Blend in. That sort of thing. [SHIFTY EYES.]

[Alec doesn't really want to broadcast that he's a thief to the rest of the people here. It's one way to quickly lose friends and alienate people and frankly what he did before he wound up here is none of their business, as far as he is concerned. But this guy is the knight he's squired to, and that comment actually earns him a few points in Alec's view.]

Yeah. Of course. To blend in. Makes sense.

[Don't pretend he's that gullible, Spike. Were you even trying with that lie? His tone is a clear sign he doesn't believe but he doesn't argue the matter or get uppity about it, just passes past it.]

It's a brilliant coat. That bloke clearly had good tastes, too.
bigbad: injuries (psycho)

[personal profile] bigbad 2013-05-04 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Hey, it's partially true. The coat did help him blend in. He just... didn't give it back after that.

Spike scoffs.]
Not hardly. This was the only decent thing he was wearing.
fallencrest: (012)

[personal profile] fallencrest 2013-05-08 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
[That draws a laugh from Alec and he gives a short snort, shaking his head.]

Well, no accounting for some people's taste. You should see the bloke I ran into in the dressing room. Suit jacket over a turtleneck and the colors were all wrong.

[He shakes his head and shrugs, grin back again.]

So. Spike. There something I'm supposed to do about this whole knight-squire thing? I might have missed the memo.
bigbad: injuries (And can you lie next to her)

[personal profile] bigbad 2013-05-12 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Eww. Grimacing over the mental image.]

Pretty sure I'm supposed to do most of the work. I'll give you an orientation of sorts, get you used to the place, do any training I can, if you need it, and keep you from getting killed on missions.
fallencrest: (014)

[personal profile] fallencrest 2013-05-17 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm a big fan of that last bit. That sounds like a major plus. Well, I'm guessing after-parties aren't the time for orientation, but I'm looking forward to finding out more about all this.

Until we get around to it, though... Any rules on personal exploration of the castle? Am I going to get my hand cut off if I open the wrong doors?
bigbad: injuries (I can suffer so much pain)

[personal profile] bigbad 2013-05-17 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
You might. Some of the elder knights get cranky when they're disturbed.
fallencrest: (011)

[personal profile] fallencrest 2013-05-28 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds like a challenge. I'll do my best not to lose any extremities.
