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.

Makes sense to me.

So we'll have like a whole month to fill you in on the mission details, if you ever wanna grab a bite or something. Should be a pretty easy gig for you.

[graveflowers]

Cool. I don't really do much during the day. Run, hang up on people, shoot things. [She shrugs, food with Kat would break up the day.]

[shootfirst]

Have you been doing a whole lotta research on this world, yet? Races, monsters, magic, gods, that sorta thing?

[graveflowers]

Uh, no? I kind of across the board fail at that sort of thing. Like it is really sad and shouldn't be witnessed because it's like a wildlife documentary where they have to watch the baby bird die.

But... I can. If, you need me too.

[shootfirst]

There won't be a pop quiz. Just wondered for your sake, really.

[graveflowers]

For your sake... yep that makes it sound worse than a pop quiz. [Although, really, Violet Fiore, you told a half dragon that you punched a dragon in the face, education would probably be really, really smart. She is just really, really bad at actively studying.] Anything specific I should look at?

[shootfirst]

If you're coming with us? Maybe get all up to date on some anti-Shadow religious movements. Our flavor of bad guy.

[graveflowers]

Sounds delicious. [Except for the totally not part.] You can consider me an expert by the time we leave.

[Not really, but she is going to try really hard. See if they have that software that reads the page so she doesn't have to struggle through actually trying to read it...]

[shootfirst]

If you need any help on the subject, let me know. Or if you want the more long-winded albeit super educational version, you should talk to Gar. She's kind of in charge of the mission, and she's also my bestest friend and sort of a genius, so there's that.

[graveflowers]

[Long winded = no reading. All. Over. That.]

Got it. Gar. So you were squired to her and Myri was squired to you. [Myri's adorable comparison of sisters makes more sense know actually, oddly enough.]

[shootfirst]

You got it. Sort of a three musketeers deal now, really.

[graveflowers]

[That is super sweet and Vi is momentarily jealous until she remembers she has a Charming and a fish and a Felicity. ...actually, no, she is still kind of jealous.]

That sounds nice.

[shootfirst]

Exactly why I'm holding your promotion hostage so you can get in on this action.

[graveflowers]

I'm really glad I don't have to negotiate it's release, otherwise I would be a squire forever. I'm not exactly stellar with the diplomatic relations.

[Sigh, she is not being modest. She thinks her awesome princess violence is not the answer speech was a fluke. Which it probably was.]]

[shootfirst]

You and me both. I'm more of an action gal myself. If I can beat it up or set it on fire, we're gonna get somewhere.

[graveflowers]

[This is why she like you, Kat.]

Speaking of. Does the castle have a greenhouse?

[Yeah, do try to connect the two ideas, her brain is a special, crazy place.]

[shootfirst]

Actually? Pretty sure that's one of the only things we're lacking. Though I don't know, some of the Dragon's Light might have one upstairs for growing herbs or something.

[graveflowers]

[Boo, sad panda. Someone really doesn't like going outside in the winter. She is thinking ahead.]

Boo. Sorry, though, that was wicked random. Like more than normal random.

[shootfirst]

Sorta used to it. You haven't met my other friend Mark, yet.

Either way, I mean, just try pitching it to Wynn before winter comes. Someone talked him into a bowling alley once, after all.

[graveflowers]

...a bowling alley.

[But Wynn is scary. She is internally crying, maybe she can suck it up in the winter...] Maybe.

[shootfirst]

If you need backup on that one, just say the word.

[graveflowers]

Is the word yes please don't make me go in there alone?

[shootfirst]

That bad, huh?

[graveflowers]

Okay, let me just list the ways in which this would fail miserably if left to my own devices. A. I don't exactly exudely princessly charm and grace and... princessy crap contrary to some people's ideas and, to be quite frank, I should probably lodge a formal complaint or, like, write a strongly worded letter to my mom because rude, I should at least get a tiara out of this. B. Public speaking makes me want to hurl. And c, which is probably the important one, when we met the first time all he could do was send me back to Jess all peace out kiddo, but now he can be like, peace out kiddo, go back to Jess and have fun never seeing your fiends again, bye! So... my impending catastrophic failure could fail so hard. As opposed to just baby hard.

[shootfirst]

Ok, I lost you somewhere around the part where you thought Wynn was going to strip you of Knighthood and turn you out all homeless because you wanted to put a greenhouse in the castle.
