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.

Now if we could just fix the music and the atmosphere we would have a real party going on.

[he drinks from the glass and glances around at the company they're in.]

Not what I pictured when they said 'after-party'.

[watcherjunior]

I think I heard someone threatening to fix the music earlier.

[ A blonde woman she passed on her way in. Dawn's much hungrier than she'd thought, and the plate is emptied in short order. She chases it with another drink. ]

What were you picturing?

[fallencrest]

Well, you know, a party. Dancing, loud music, too much alcohol. Granted it was a crazy assumption considering who was hosting it, but I can dream.

[He almost misses the raves that used to make him turn tail with their noise.]

This works alright.

[watcherjunior]

There could always be an after-after-party.

[ At least, she assumes there could be. As long as they didn't completely trash the place or break things or ..IDK streak through the place, it should be alright? ]

[fallencrest]

I've sort of been running with the idea there will be. I heard there was a bar in this castle, among other things.

That, and I don't think I will be able to key down that fast when this one ends.

[watcherjunior]

Other things? [ Well, that's vague. And interesting enough to pique her curiosity. ]

Yeah, I usually stay up part of the night. Kinda like a habit.

[fallencrest]

I've always been a bit nocturnal. The night makes me restless.

[More accurate than she could know. He clears his throat and gives a bit of a shrug.]

That and I want to explore the layout a bit.

[watcherjunior]

[ She nods. Restless is a good way to describe things. ]

This place is pretty huge.

[fallencrest]

I'm still betting on there being secret passages all over this place. I mean, come on. Castle.

[watcherjunior]

You're not wrong there. I'm willing to bet it meets all the castle cliches. Secret bookcase passageway. Paintings with eyeholes so you can spy on people.

[fallencrest]

Beds that flip over in your sleep. Full armor suits that roam the halls on their own. You should come with me sometime.

We'll see what kind of trouble we can stir up looking for secrets.

[watcherjunior]

I'm totally in. A little innocent trouble couldn't hurt, right?

[ Even though that's pretty much an oxymoron. ]

[fallencrest]

I'll be hitting you up on that so don't forget about it.

[Everything is innocent trouble until you get caught, Dawn.]

[watcherjunior]

Never! Memory like a steel trap, now that I'm on this side of things.
