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 || September 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.

[ attica very much notices him, on the other hand. she's been eagle eyes on this whole party, and it's not a reaction she's unused to. she tends to get two potential reactions from the majority of people: suspicion, and creepy leers because they're some kind of ~exotic to you white folks.

but this is also attica, and while she's perfectly fine ignoring, she's also perfectly fine confronting and intentionally making people uncomfortable. so, there's that. she approaches him with a thin, forged smile, and leans in a little. ]

If you're trying to catch flies, you might have better luck outside.

Sorry, what? [He spoke too fast, turned his head too quick. AND FOR THE RECORD- it wasn't that she was exotic, just that she was hot. He is an equal opportunity gawker, okay.]

I wasn't- I was just... Erm, hello. [He gives an awkward little wave instead.]

[klepto]

Yeah. Hi. Do you want something?

[ she'll be more direct, since apparently he decided to breeze right past her clever disparaging remark. the smile drops a little flat as she studies him. ]

[badexample]

Just... [Trying to say hello? Well, no- not really. Getting to know the new blood? He couldn't care less about that. The reality was that he hadn't noticed her at all until a few seconds ago. He didn't want anything... Except maybe to be much better at this.]

Welcome. [He finally spits out a word.] To the knights, I mean. Welcome.

[klepto]

Aren't you one of the new squires, as well?

[ nope attica isn't going to make this conversation easy because conversations with attica aren't anything but unpleasant. it really ... puts a damper on the whole sexiness. ]
