after-party ♔

♬ 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.

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!

[bluffcheck]

Perish the thought of me breaking up the happy couple. [He says with a booming laugh.]

Hells, friend, where have you been?

[meta]

On a tropical island vacation. You should be jealous. Do I look tanned?

[It's really hard to tell when he's.... wearing a mask.]

[bluffcheck]

You should have sent word! I would have sailed down to get your sorry ass! Hasn't been nearly as fun without you.

[meta]

Well gee, maybe if you ever checked twitter!

[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.]

[nepotism]

[ he reaches out to delicately pluck that right out of deadpool's fingers] Yeahhhh, how about we just tell R&D you lost it and call it square?

[meta]

[THUMBS UP.]

Cool. I love lying to people in positions of authority.

[nepotism]

[ smirk ] Not exactly where I was goin with that, but I'm on board with a little bit of stickin it to the man once in awhile.

[meta]

Speaking of the man, are you still my knight? You don't have another squire, do you? Do I need to kill someone?

[It's... hard to tell if he's joking.]

[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!

[isisagent]

I'll have to take your word on that... Without Woodhouse around to take care of mine, I've just been buying in bulk, and throwing the used suits away.

[meta]

Yeah, I do that too. [He pulls at his red and black spandex costume.] Plus, my costume keeps getting bullet holes and those are impossible to wash out.

[isisagent]

Oh man, I know. At least that red will hide some of the blood. Azerbaijani silk just does not let those damned stains out... That's the price of looking good on the job, though.

[meta]

So where do you get Azkaban Silk anyway? Got Dementors in your rolodex? And by rolodex I mean phone, of course. Who has rolodexes these days?

/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.]

[reallywicked]

[Ugh. Remember when she didn't have to deal with him? Those were good times.]

Why the hell do you have a coconut?

[meta]

I think the better question is why you don't have a coconut.

[reallywicked]

Because I'm not a crazy person?

[meta]

[He covers the space on the coconut where ears would be, if coconuts had ears.]

Shh, she's just saying that because she's jealous.
