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!)
WHAT || Squiring Ceremony Afterparty
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || July 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.

[That's okay. Faye doesn't know there's even one.]

Never heard of him. Is he hot?

[lastdragomir]

I'm pretty sure it's a woman? [She is really pretty sure, because that nice lady at the ceremony... but who knows. WHO KNOWS.]

[reallywicked]

Oh. Too bad [shrug]

So what made you want to join up? Just the familiarity of all the... This?

[lastdragomir]

Rose. [Duh, where have you been.] And it will be nice, being able to help.

[reallywicked]

[Look she had no way of knowing that they figured it out before she ever showed up. Don't give her that look :| ]

It's alright.

[lastdragomir]

[She does what she wants, Faye, dwi.]

Why did you join?

[reallywicked]

Something to do? Place to sleep. [SHRUG]

[lastdragomir]

[Lissa makes a face like that is a lot of work and you got squired and crap all for a place to sleep? ...okay. She can respect that.]

Pretty nice place to sleep.

[reallywicked]

I never do anything halfway.

[lastdragomir]

Well, that's probably a virtue or something like that.

[reallywicked]

If it's not, it should be.

[lastdragomir]

[You know Faye, she kind of appreciates your style. Completely understands why she and Rose apparently hate each other, but she appreciates Faye's style.]

Perseverance, probably, that makes it sound virtuous. Or dedicated.

[reallywicked]

[Faye is really convinced that Lissa made a terrible life decision by befriending Rose because this girl is way cooler than that bitch.]

I think I'll have to use that from now on.

[You can stay]

[lastdragomir]

It's pretty easy to twist words and expectations like that.

[Profession mind changer right here. Maybe Faye will bring out her party girl ways...]

[reallywicked]

[Faye just makes a small approving sound, because this is all very surprising to her, but she likes it.]

Do tell. [There's a slight edge of humor there, but not enough to be discouraging. She's genuinely curious how much this girl knows about manipulation.]

[lastdragomir]

[She's not a teacher, man, she doesn't know how to teach this grasshopper! But she attempts to put it to words.]

Well, we're teenage girls, no one expects anything from us. [That is a lie, people expect a ton from the Dragomir princess.] So you take what they consider faults and turn them to strengths. If they think that drinking too much at a party is a weakness you say that you're putting people at ease and letting them think you're an easy target. It's not not gluttony, it's well placed disguise.
