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.

wynn ♔ (ota.)

[wynn]

[ wynn's here, wynn-ing about, probably questioning his life decisions considering this month's batch of squires. time for a strong drink. ]

edain ♔ (ota.)

[oftheband]

[ plenty of knights come here for the alcohol rather than the fancy dancing, and it's probably clear from the way sir edain still hasn't changed out of his armor from the ceremony that he's not in dancing mood. if not, the way he's nursing the keg of ale from the Shadow world probably does, but at least he's willing to pour a glass for anyone who comes by. ]

lis'sa ♔ (ota.)

[lissatrinall]

[ in a dress that's a strange amalgam of black leather and lace, the strange looking head of the dragon's hoard watches the party from the sidelines, sipping from a champagne glass and occasionally speaking with sir zero, who appears to have ostensibly rolled out of bed only to come talk to her at the party. he certainly isn't dressed for one. ]

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.

for archer (but ota if you wanna bump into him ...)

[65]

[with a 20 total disguise check, finnick is looking sooooo good. he's on the look-out for archer right now. with that stunning oath archer gave, he figures all he has to do is look for loud obnoxious ridiculousness.]

[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.

[isisagent]

[Archer walks up to Wynn, with two large green-ish drinks, and passes one to him. Oh yeah. "Green Russians." Absinthe, Vodka, Creme de Menthe, and Milk.]

So - How drunk do I have to get you, before the high-fives start flowing, Winnie?

[isisagent]

[Archer begins to walk over, drinking his Gummy Roy]

Nice getup MC Hammer; what - is it laundry day?

Heh...

[isisagent]

[There's a loud CLANG and the smashing of several glasses, accompanied by a shout:]

Jesus, Susan - How hard is it to mix a goddamned GIMLET. There is like LITERALLY two ingredients!

[isisagent]

I take it you're Trinall?

[Archer suddenly walks up - and nobody is surprised.]

[wynn]

[ he takes the drink with a polite nod, no hesitation ] I think you'd find the process more difficult than you're imagining. [ and he helps himself to a hearty sip like it ain't no thang ]

[lissatrinall]

You'd take it right. [ :| hello archer ]

[isisagent]

Hah! I knew it.

I've been asking around - They tell me you're like, head of the research division?

[Hello Krieger 2.0]

[isisagent]

I knew I liked you more than Barry.

[lissatrinall]

I'm not "like" anything. I do head the division.

Did you need something researched?

[wynn]

Your... space station friend.

[isisagent]

Not friend. Barry was a traitor, who stole my fiancee, defected to the KGB, became a cyborg, and chased me into space to try to murder me.

[He actually lists that off kind of casually.]

[isisagent]

Where to start... oh, actually, I need someone to repair my Omicron Spymaster

Also, I'll need to inspect the armory. It won't have to try very hard to be better than the ISIS armory - seriously we had water-balloons in there one time. Though, filled with flammable liquid, making them like... extremely volatile Molotov cocktails. Too bad for Brett - but still pretty effective.

[wynn]

[ not many people manage to elicit surprised expressions from wynn ] In that case, I'm quite glad we've cleared up this case of mistaken identity.

[lissatrinall]

You'll have a regulation equipment orientation before your first mission: we actually have an armory for weapons and armor, and a separate one for gadgetry.

I can fix your watch, at least. What's wrong with it?

[isisagent]

[He hands it over]

Well; it's out of knock-out gas, the garotte cable is fraying, the battery for the laser is shot, and the time is off... and I never actually bothered to learn how to change the time.

[isisagent]

That makes two of us! Couldn't be happier to be rid of that bastard.

[lissatrinall]

I can repair all of that, aside from the willing ignorance part.

[wynn]

I hope you'll have better luck with your co-workers here.
