after-party ♔ september



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!)
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.

Of course. [She glances around before finding a place to put the glass.] What did you want to talk about?
eldritchweaver: (Default)

[personal profile] eldritchweaver 2013-09-30 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Something you may not wish to speak on, in mixed company.
lastdragomir: (calm)

[personal profile] lastdragomir 2013-09-30 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
I doubt we'll be overheard. [Oh Lissa, so naive.]

[personal profile] eldritchweaver 2013-09-30 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
I rather think you may find yourself always overheard, no matter what company you're in, yes?
lastdragomir: (listening)

[personal profile] lastdragomir 2013-09-30 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Then wherever we speak we would be equally overheard. [OH SNAP.] Maybe if I knew the topic, I'd be able to decide if I need privacy or not.

[personal profile] eldritchweaver 2013-09-30 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
What about the link you share with one of our other squires?
lastdragomir: (coquettish)

[personal profile] lastdragomir 2013-10-03 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lissa's mouth presses into a line.] Yes, Rose would probably appreciate this conversation be private.
lastdragomir: (watching)

[personal profile] lastdragomir 2013-10-07 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[And Lissa walks out of the ballroom... to somewhere else, idek. I am the worst rper, why do you play with me?]

[ down the large main hall they walk, which is largely abandoned right now, the sounds of party fading into the distance behind them. ] I've been told that the bond you possess is somewhat unusual.
lastdragomir: (golden)

[personal profile] lastdragomir 2013-10-10 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
So it seems. It was unusual in our world as well.
eldritchweaver: (pic#1648324)

[personal profile] eldritchweaver 2013-10-11 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Would you mind explaining what it's like?
lastdragomir: (golden)

[personal profile] lastdragomir 2013-10-12 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
We're spirit bound. [ Yes, Lissa, because that explains so much. ] We were in a car accident when we were small, Rose died, but I... wouldn't let her. Since then she's been able to feel what I am feeling and see what I'm seeing, like a window into my mind. But the ability is one sided.
eldritchweaver: (pic#1648328)

[personal profile] eldritchweaver 2013-10-13 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
It isn't unusual for near death experiences to prompt a bond, but it is strange that only one of you seems to benefit from it.
lastdragomir: (seriousness)

[personal profile] lastdragomir 2013-10-13 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Her nose wrinkles slightly because she didn't say near death, she said dead. But it's not a point she is willing to push because she doesn't like to think of Rose being dead, frankly.] Besides that the bond has saved my life, more than once? Rose keeps me sane, that is a pretty big benefit.
lastdragomir: (downcast)

[personal profile] lastdragomir 2013-10-17 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[She exists?] Spirit, the magic I have? Sometimes [read: all the time] using it has adverse effects on my mental health. Having Rose around makes it better. Though. [She pauses for a second.] Sometimes Rose would take that pain on to herself. Not that I ever wanted her to, she would do it regardless of what I wanted.
eldritchweaver: (pic#1648342)

[personal profile] eldritchweaver 2013-10-20 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Is she aware of this boon, here in this world?
lastdragomir: (downcast)

[personal profile] lastdragomir 2013-10-20 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
No. [She rushes on to continue before he can scold her.] I don't use my magic near her so she wouldn't be able to take it from me even if she knew she could.
eldritchweaver: (pic#1648459)

[personal profile] eldritchweaver 2013-10-20 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I meant the effects you spoke of, of having her presence nearby, and how it might ease the detriment to your mental state.
lastdragomir: (downcast)

[personal profile] lastdragomir 2013-10-20 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
No. I don't want her to feel pressured into being around me if she doesn't want to.
eldritchweaver: (pic#1648325)

[personal profile] eldritchweaver 2013-10-21 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Then for the sake of your own well-being, it would seem important to reconcile.
lastdragomir: (oh?)

[personal profile] lastdragomir 2013-10-30 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Fidgiting uncomfortably, Lissa lets that sink in. She's not stupid, she knows that she's better with Rose around, but she's also not a masochist.] Is there a way to break the bond, do you think?

[Not that it would be beneficial to Lissa at all, but Rose would probably like it.]
eldritchweaver: (pic#1648328)

[personal profile] eldritchweaver 2013-10-30 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Possibly, yes. But not without exacting some toll on both of you.
lastdragomir: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] lastdragomir 2013-10-30 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Nodding slowly, she marinates that.] Might be worth it. She deserves the choice, at least. [Her hair flutters away from her face as she sighs.] I guess I'll talk to her.
