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.

I suppose you're lucky then, that Wynn sponsors these little company picnics of his every month.

[He chuckles.]

Yeah. It definitely gives me something I can't opt out of.

Maybe not to the fancy ceremonies, but no one holds a gun to anyone's head to come to the black tie.

[He shrugs.]

Its good for morale.

[and even as antisocial as he is, he doesn't want it to be said that he doesn't care about things like that. That these things don't matter.]

[personal profile] cigam 2013-10-09 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Theirs or yours?

[personal profile] generaldavideus 2013-10-09 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
[He pauses as he considers that for a moment, because it's a pretty valid question.]

Both, I guess.

[personal profile] cigam 2013-10-09 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
... As a performer, that's an answer I can appreciate.

[He pauses for a moment before glancing back to her.]

Why did you decide to become a magician if you could do real magic?

[just ... out of curiosity.]</i.

My father, actually. I grew up with it, even worked as his stage assistant before he vanished. I didn't know until I was already knee-deep into the illusionist lifestyle that I even had the capacity for real magic.

[personal profile] generaldavideus 2013-10-11 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Huh.

[he pauses before shaking his head.]

Me and magic ... we have a complicated relationship. It's not my favorite thing for a lot of reasons.

[not that he's condemning her for using it, he just has a lot of reasons not to trust it.]

But it sounds like you enjoy both aspects.

[personal profile] cigam 2013-10-15 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Can I ask what happened? Or is it...
generaldavideus: (Default)

[personal profile] generaldavideus 2013-10-16 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
I ...

[he hesitates.]

Kind of like what happened in the Triangle. There was a witch that was controlling me, but she was skilled enough where she made me think that they were my choices. I was her canon fodder.

It also kept me from seeing what a psychopath she was.

How did you break free of it?
generaldavideus: (Default)

[personal profile] generaldavideus 2013-10-17 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
She died.

[Not by him. He knows that much. The who's and the how's are fuzzy, but he knows for a fact that the witch who was controlling him is dead.]

[personal profile] generaldavideus 2013-10-18 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head.]

Someone else.
cigam: (Default)

[personal profile] cigam 2013-10-20 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Probably better that way. Revenge leaves people bitter - not satisfied.
generaldavideus: (Default)

[personal profile] generaldavideus 2013-10-20 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably.

[but he still wishes he could have seen through it sooner. he still wishes that he realized what exactly was going on. He couldn't have, he knows that, but he still thinks back and goes what if.]

I couldn't have killed her anyway.

[he loved her.]

Hopefully you'll never have to face anything like that again. I'm sorry for what you got dragged into, given all that.
generaldavideus: (Default)

[personal profile] generaldavideus 2013-10-22 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
[He shrugs.]

It's not your fault. I got more purpose out of what she dragged me into than I had in my life before, and I have purpose here. Things happen, especially when you're dealing with magic.

[not that he's saying what she did was okay, but he made something out of it. That's worth something.]
cigam: (pic#5988074)

[personal profile] cigam 2013-10-22 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Not all bad things, you know.
generaldavideus: (Default)

[personal profile] generaldavideus 2013-10-23 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
[He glances up with a bit of a smirk before nodding.]

I know. But that's something I'm still getting used to.
cigam: (Default)

[personal profile] cigam 2013-10-24 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if there's ever anything I can do to help you get used to the fact, you let me know.
generaldavideus: (Default)

[personal profile] generaldavideus 2013-10-25 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
[David nods with a small smile.]

I will.

[ she winks ] Enjoy the party. [ and turns to slip off into the crowd ]
