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.

[It takes her a second to realize he's addressing her, and she blinks in surprise, her hand coming up to her cheek before she fumbles for an answer.]

Oh, it's inked with gold, among other things. All the members in my organization have...er, had one.
bigbad: injuries (there is nothing you can do)

[personal profile] bigbad 2013-05-03 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
What are they, some sort of cult?

[personal profile] celerystick 2013-05-04 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
No!

[Rude. She actually looks offended. Wow, Spike.]

Not any more than this place is.

So why'd you leave? [A beat.] Oh, do they not exist in this universe?

[Her mouth opens, ready to insist that she didn't, when he answers it for her. Her mouth closes and she just nods instead.]

At least, I don't think they do. And this place...it's not like mine.
bigbad: injuries (oh please destroy me)

[personal profile] bigbad 2013-05-06 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not like most people's places. And yet, doesn't feel all that strange to me. [Spike shrugs. He doesn't remember much from his world. Except Passions.]

Most of it is the same, I think. The countries, the languages, the cities.

[Her eyes drift around the room to those who are more obviously non-human.]

But there are some big differences too.
bigbad: injuries (I'm never going back there)

[personal profile] bigbad 2013-05-07 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
[He follows her gaze.] Really? There was no magic in your world?
celerystick: (pic#5986594)

[personal profile] celerystick 2013-05-09 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
No, there is. [The thought of magic makes her fidgety.] But only Moroi are capable magic.

[Because they were unnatural. People weren't supposed to be able to toy with the rules of nature like that, but Moroi weren't people. Not entirely.]
bigbad: injuries (grant me ink to dust a fire)

[...he looks blank.]

That some sort of witch?

[Sydney shakes her head, looking a little surprised.]

No, not at all. Moroi are...vampires.

[She's used to not being able to talk about it.]
bigbad: injuries (grant me ink to dust a fire)

[personal profile] bigbad 2013-05-14 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Never heard that term before. Do you know any?
celerystick: (pic#5960992)

[personal profile] celerystick 2013-05-15 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure I did, at one time. My organization dealt with them frequently, at least.

[Though they would have stayed far far away if possible.]
bigbad: injuries (oh please destroy me)

[personal profile] bigbad 2013-05-16 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
So you know a lot about us.

[Her hearts stalls in her chest, and she visibly swallows as panic rises inside her. Her attempt to hide it is only moderately successful. (bluff - 13)]

Us? You mean you're...but you don't look anything like one.
bigbad: injuries (from the sinner in me)

[personal profile] bigbad 2013-05-20 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[His sense motive came up 13, so he really can't tell anything for sure.]

Well, not now. It's not like I wander about with my vampire face out. I look bloody awful that way.
celerystick: (pic#5960995)

[personal profile] celerystick 2013-05-21 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, time to fight down more anxiety. Holy crap.]

You can hide it?

[The vampires of her world have fangs all the time. Being able to hide them is...so much worse. She could be surrounded by them!]
bigbad: vampire (You've got the mark of the beast)

[personal profile] bigbad 2013-05-27 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure. [He shifts his face to show her his fangs.

Enjoy that, Sydney. :-) ]

[Guess who screams while taking a deliberate step, and only manages to stifle it with her hand a fraction of a second too late. She was...so not expecting that.

Yep, people are probably staring.]
