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.

Well that is a good point. Sorry, you know, on behalf of my world.

[oftheband]

It's not your fault, is it?

[graveflowers]

With my track record? It totally could be.

[Which makes her giggle into the beer. God, if it was her fault she wouldn't even be surprised.]

[oftheband]

Then instead of an apology, best make it up to us by helping slay any evils you brought along with you.

[graveflowers]

Already on it, yo. Gimme a train and we're set.

[oftheband]

Not sure I know what that is.

[graveflowers]

[That is it. Next time she does something that awesome she is getting friggin' witnesses.]

Its... its not important, actually.

[oftheband]

This whole change in the tides seems like a bad omen to me. Whether the people it brings are friendly or no.

Seems an awful odd thing to suddenly go changin'.

[graveflowers]

Maybe it is the natural progression of things. Or maybe my world was too small and unimportant to be of note until now. [Maybe she is making all this up, the world may never know.]

[oftheband]

Or maybe the rest of the worlds are all collapsing, and you're all the last refugees there are.

[graveflowers]

That is super not comforting.

[Good thing she has this handy ale.]

[oftheband]

Wouldn't matter much anyway, would it? Can't go back.

[graveflowers]

[Wow dudebro, harshing the buzz. She makes a face, like thanks for the reminder.]

Okay, valid point.

[oftheband]

Though I guess there's always hopin someone from home shows up and remembers you. But it's that last part that's the real bitch.

[graveflowers]

Has anyone ever told you that you are just really pessimistic?

[...says Vi.]

[oftheband]

Ay. My sister, many a time.

[graveflowers]

Smart girl.

[oftheband]

Spoiled girl. Never had to deal with the harsher side of life.

[graveflowers]

And yet she still calls it like she sees it, kudos for that.

[oftheband]

That part runs in the blood.

[graveflowers]

Sounds fiesty. So tell me more about this place you come from that has beer that tastes like the slow necrosis of my liver and gross motor function.

[oftheband]

Well, my part of that land was called Maikwit. Grandest kingdom there is. Back there, they would call this water.

[graveflowers]

[So basically he is Scottish.]

Someone has got to be a lightweight, I take my birthright seriously. What's it like there, besides grand and watery.

[oftheband]

Harder. Life there will turn a man to steel, if he wishes to survive. Not life life here, which seems to turn men into sponges.

[graveflowers]

But you said your sister was spoiled. [Fairly obvious she can't connect the two ideas.]
