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.

[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?

[graveflowers]

You know that a complete misnomer, right? There're rabbits that eat people.

[Well, one. And its the fictional Killer Rabbit of Caerbonnog, but really. What is so wrong with vegetarianism, people! ]

[shootfirst]

What kind of messed up world do you come from, exactly?

[graveflowers]

[WHO DOESN'T KNOW MONTY PYTHON? Uncultured swine. If someone tells her they don't know Narnia she is actually going to need medical attention. As it is, she gives Kat a dumbfounded look.]

...the kind with movies.

[jfc how do people even understand her when she talks?]

[shootfirst]

Ok, now that's making a lot more sense. Considering some of the things I've seen, I wasn't going to rule out dire bunnies.

[graveflowers]

I can't believe you've never seen Monty Python. I am, like, thoroughly despondant about this, Kat. I am desponding.

[A beat.] Killer sheep though, real thing.

[shootfirst]

We all have our flaws. I'll give you a free pass for the diet if you forgive my lack of cult movie viewings.

[graveflowers]

Deal. Because I couldn't be a carnivore anymore anyway.

[shootfirst]

Some kinda health condition?

[graveflowers]

No, I've just been a vegetarian for so long meat makes me sick. But I'm not like one of those rude vegans who yells if you wear a belt or something.

[shootfirst]

You know I've never actually met one of those. Wasn't a very popular phenom where I came from.

[graveflowers]

I got the milk is murder speech once, but I really love Oreos so, whatever.

but wait.. THERE'S MORE

[luthir]

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

Enjoying yourself?

[graveflowers]

[Yep, she just screams:] Jesus Christ! [And whirls around before her mouth snaps shut and she makes such a face.] Or you.

[luthir]

[ he looks slightly startled by her reaction, eyes widening, but then he smirks ] I think we've firmly established you to be the divine one.

[graveflowers]

Oh, so drool, sir. [She snorts, yeah she's not so divine, and rolls her eyes just a bit. But she is smiling so her put upon act is just that.] You shouldn't sneak up on people like that. What if I carried a knife in my bra, huh? Or pepper spray.

[luthir]

[ for the briefest second in the world, his eyes flash down to her chest as if to figure out how she'd hide anything in there. the beat before he replies is the only clue that he juuuust might be a little flustered by her comment. ]

... I should hope you don't expect to use either on a regular basis here in the castle. At least not on your fellow Knights.

[graveflowers]

Yeah, pepper spray would probably backfire anyway. ...well, backfire again. [She pouts, actually, for a second before her expression clears. The Hot Sauce Incident of 2013 is not her finest moment -- even if she made two friends out of it. Two friends and a flywacket!]

Anyway, my lack of weapons aside. I am enjoying myself now, yes.

[luthir]

[ do you think he's going to let that pass?

DO YOU?? ]

... Again?

[graveflowers]

I was making Spike hot sauce and um, sorta, got pepper residue in my eyes.

[Wow she is blushing so hard.] Myri healed me.

[luthir]

I didn't realize you enjoy cooking.

[graveflowers]

Well, it never came up. And he was drinking it from the bottle and that's gross, so I had to enlighten him.

[luthir]

I suppose there's no accounting for taste. Or ignorance - whichever it was. [ smirk ] I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

[graveflowers]

99% sure it was ignorance in this case. Do you like it? Cooking, I mean, not hot sauce. Although... you can answer that too.
