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.

[Phineas looks not entirely unconcerned, but a little less edgy than a moment ago]

Oh, I see...

Well... I've never done anything so exciting as slaying demons. I'm just a mage and a researcher. [He raises his glass and takes a drink]

A mage? [ She'll take Things She Should Already Know for $200, Alex. ] Now research, I'm totally down with. I think I liked that better than the other stuff.

Well, 'Mage' may be a bit of a misnomer. "Magic-User" probably more appropriately captures it...

I get the feeling I'll be spending most of my off-time for the next several months doing research in the library to get used to the history of this world.
watcherjunior: (tell me more tell me more.)

That doesn't sound like a bad plan, really. I mean, most stuff here doesn't seem too different from where I'm from. But, you know, you start thinking that and then some bad unpleasant surprise pops up that you could have totally forewarned yourself about.

[He laughs a little]
Lucky you, this place is so very different from my world... much more advanced, I suppose, in some ways.

[He glances at her]
And, of course, the women are much more stunning here.

[He takes another drink]

[ She blushes faintly, smiling. ]

In what ways? When you say advanced.
thesleeper: (think)

[personal profile] thesleeper 2013-08-27 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Hard to... put a finger on it, really. [Phineas actually gets a bit serious for a moment] I suppose it's not so much "more advanced" as it seems to have "advanced differently," as a historian would say.

For example, my people have many magical and supernatural ways to fly... but... none so torturous as these air-ships this world has.

[He grimaces at the though of planes... No planes ever again. (If only he knew...)]

[Then his countenance breaks with a smile, and he rolls back into a lighthearted kind of tone.] And, of course, the women back home only wish they could compare with the radiance of present company. Blessed are they, in their ignorance.

[And, smirking, he takes another sip from his chalice.]
watcherjunior: (totally up to no good.)

[ He has her full attention. Learning about other places, learning in general, has always held a certain appeal. She chuckles lightly when he calls airplanes 'air-ships' and 'torturous'. Not that she would completely disagree. It was a long, long flight from Houston to London.

And then comes the compliment. Trying not to blush, trying... and failing.
] Well, all the better for you, then, right? [ She's trying to be confident and smooth (cha 14). ]

Indeed... More and more I'm thinking that I prefer this world to my home...

[The ice shifts in his glass, and he thinks for a moment, before adding;]

...That's a depressing sort of thing to say, I suppose. And, potentially not entirely accurate. I just... can't seem to remember anything all that great about it. For my sake, I hope it wasn't all as bad as the bit's I've got left.

[He smiles, and takes another drink.]

How's about yourself? You seem to remember quite a bit...
