after-party ♔

[wynn]

♬ Jeux d'eau - Ravel

WHO || Wynn, any and all Knights not currently on missions (if you are uncertain if your character would be at the castle for this, ask! this is before failboat left for chicago)
WHAT || Squiring Ceremony Afterparty
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || June 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.

wynn ♔ (ota.)

[wynn]

[ wynn's here, wynn-ing about, probably questioning his life decisions considering this month's batch of squires. time for a strong drink. ]

[isisagent]

[Archer walks up to Wynn, with two large green-ish drinks, and passes one to him. Oh yeah. "Green Russians." Absinthe, Vodka, Creme de Menthe, and Milk.]

So - How drunk do I have to get you, before the high-fives start flowing, Winnie?

[wynn]

[ he takes the drink with a polite nod, no hesitation ] I think you'd find the process more difficult than you're imagining. [ and he helps himself to a hearty sip like it ain't no thang ]

edain ♔ (ota.)

[oftheband]

[ plenty of knights come here for the alcohol rather than the fancy dancing, and it's probably clear from the way sir edain still hasn't changed out of his armor from the ceremony that he's not in dancing mood. if not, the way he's nursing the keg of ale from the Shadow world probably does, but at least he's willing to pour a glass for anyone who comes by. ]

[graveflowers]

[She has to talk to everyone. It's an impulse and her impulse control is... haha, yeah. So it's not a surprise when she gracelessly sidles up next to him. Like the classiest of bitches.

At least she starts off well, all those princess lessons.]

Yo.

[Oh right, she doesn't actually have princess lessons.]

[oftheband]

Halloa to you, missy. [ he looks her up and down with the smile of a man who's got his drink on ] Come for a pint?

lis'sa ♔ (ota.)

[lissatrinall]

[ in a dress that's a strange amalgam of black leather and lace, the strange looking head of the dragon's hoard watches the party from the sidelines, sipping from a champagne glass and occasionally speaking with sir zero, who appears to have ostensibly rolled out of bed only to come talk to her at the party. he certainly isn't dressed for one. ]

[isisagent]

I take it you're Trinall?

[Archer suddenly walks up - and nobody is surprised.]

[lissatrinall]

You'd take it right. [ :| hello archer ]

Deadpool (OTA)

[meta]

[Deadpool has spent the past few months slowly swimming back to England from the tropical island upon which he'd been marooned. He's only drowned like five times! But he got better. It was an exciting journey. BUT NOW HE'S BACK and looking super sexy. He's also brought a date, Mo, who he bonded with on the island.

Haven't you missed his life, guys?]

[bluffcheck]

[Thoster just assumed Deadpool took off, to be honest. So when he sees the man in... interesting attire... he is pleasantly surprised and makes his way over.]

Well, well, well... Now there's a sight for sore eyes.

[meta]

[Deadpool narrows his eyes through the mask and looks at Mo.]

Were you cheating on me with him? I thought we had something special!

[nepotism]

[ OH HAI SQUIRE OF MINE ] You don't call, you don't write... [ fred wanders up and slaps a hand on his shoulder ] A guy would almost think all that bonding was for nothing.

[meta]

I tried to Snapchat you! It didn't work as well as I'd hoped.

[He pulls out his phone from one of his pouches. It is... dripping wet. Still. There's a crack with some seaweed in it.

BUT HE KEPT IT.]

[isisagent]

[Archer begins to walk over, drinking his Gummy Roy]

Nice getup MC Hammer; what - is it laundry day?

Heh...

[meta]

[Deadpool raises his glass to him. It contains an Appletini. Because Deadpool is cool.]

It's always laundry day somewhere!

/slides this in here really late

[reallywicked]

[You know who was having a GREAT time until the masked moron showed back up? Faye. Also, what the hell is he even wearing???

Faye, of course, is in some skimpy red number that she's not really wearing as well as she could (disguise 14) but she still looks good because... honestly. She strolls up halfway through the party, drink in hand, and looks Deadpool with intense judging eyes.]

And here I thought they kicked you out. [She plays up disappointment in her voice.]

[meta]

[hdu. But Deadpool beams at her.]

I don't care that you're late if you took all that time to match. [fourth wall check 17.]

for archer (but ota if you wanna bump into him ...)

[65]

[with a 20 total disguise check, finnick is looking sooooo good. he's on the look-out for archer right now. with that stunning oath archer gave, he figures all he has to do is look for loud obnoxious ridiculousness.]

[isisagent]

[There's a loud CLANG and the smashing of several glasses, accompanied by a shout:]

Jesus, Susan - How hard is it to mix a goddamned GIMLET. There is like LITERALLY two ingredients!

{open! to all!}

[imgonnadie]

[Sean looks like a schmuck (disguise 7), but at least he isn't making you think he will be useful to this organization. He can only go up from here! And all the ladies love him anyway, okay, let's be perfectly real here, his adorable in need of a cut ginger curls and easy smile are making the panties drop. Don't be jealous, he is just naturally that's awesome.

Also he spent all that time with a showboat full of dwarves all these normal sized people are making him feel short. And he's like six foot, so what gives. Anyway, he'll be over here with his drink, being adorbs.]

[meta]

[I hope you're ready for Deadpool to creep up behind you (move silently 11) and scream in your ear (knowledge: fourth wall 21). Because that's happening.]

{also super open}

[graveflowers]

[Aww, Vi looks precious (disguise 18). And like she's fifteen with that dress, oops. I mean, a really pretty fifteen year old that makes you rethink life choices, but yeah, just a little young. Oops.

Also she's at the food table plowing through a towering plate of veggies and no one is surprised.]

[shootfirst]

[ guess who's hereeeee, it's your lovely mentor. cramming her face. with cupcakes. ] Rabbit food, huh?

but wait.. THERE'S MORE

[luthir]

[ a voice manifests behind her very suddenly because even indoors he moves like a freaking ghost ]

Enjoying yourself?
