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.

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.

[shootfirst]

As everybody should.

Sooo I've been reading through some glowing reviews.

[graveflowers]

Yeah? Plural?

[shootfirst]

Koraith wanted to plug in his two cents, Dovan "just likes you", and Luthir's given me two. One for the whole monster/train incident, by the way, very boss.

[graveflowers]

Yeeeeah, I probably should have sent them some windex after... They, they were all glowing?

[shootfirst]

Technically? I should promote you, like, yesterday. So I'm hoping you won't be offended if I have something else in mind.

[graveflowers]

Shit, I'm good. But yeah, whatever you want, boss. [Although please hold while she preens like a glorious peacock.

Which is fitting. Since it's her mother's animal.]

[shootfirst]

Welll, here's the thing. You're only my second squire of ever, and I became bestest friends with the Knight who squired me, and really tight with my first squire, and then there's you and I, and we haven't even gotten to really see any action together yet. So I thought I'd see if you could come along on the mission we're working on now. There's this big concert in July... it's a long story, but you could probably tag along. You in?

[graveflowers]

Yeah, totally in. But, what concert?

[Concert doesn't scream MISSION at her.]

[shootfirst]

I don't know how much you keep up on this kind of stuff, but... the Finnick/Rafael Giovanni concert? [ pop culture 15+ will have heard of it by now since it's advertised fucking everywhere on tv and in magazines ]

[graveflowers]

[Stunningly perfect time to crit fail. The one pop culture reference that eludes her is:]Finnick? Like Finnick Finnick? [Her arm shoots out in the general direction of... somewhere over there.] That Finnick?

[And then:] Although I would totally see him in concert.

[shootfirst]

I see you've met our little bronzed god. [ well intentioned eye roll ] He's the one. Chiseled jaw and all. We sort of turned him into a giant pop star to keep this record company from falling into the hands of some psycho religious extremists who want to use the company to spread diabolical evil... somehow. [ le shrug ] It's a thing.

[graveflowers]

Oh. Finnick's just a pop star. No biggie. [She recognizes this is not the point and she moves on, perhaps a bit sullen.]

So what, like subliminal messages? Super creeptastic.

[shootfirst]

Maybe. We're still banging out the details, seeing as how our original mission was to find some super powerful talisman that gives people immortality and it led us to them. Not really sure how all the dots connect yet.

[graveflowers]

That sounds ridiculously weird. I mentioned I am totally in, right?

[shootfirst]

Awesome. I'll make sure Wynn's down with it, but he kinda loves me, so I'm sure he'll say yes.

[graveflowers]

Sweet. Um, do I get to read my glowing reviews? Is that a thing I can do?

[shootfirst]

That's sorrrrta outside protocol...

[graveflowers]

[She shrugs a little like it doesn't bother her, and then she grins a little.]

I'll just bug Luthir. Er, Sir Luthir.
