after-party ♔

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 || January 1st, 2013, 6:00PM [backdated]
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.

They don't all feel like that. Generalize much?

[badexample]

I wasn't aware you'd taken a poll.

[sorceresslite]

Fred? He likes everyone. Dovan is the nicest bloke possible. Finn likes you, he just doesn't use his words. Sir Lanston Charles Montgomery Wingates Wellington hates everyone by equal measure so you cannae actually count him. If you really want to generalize a sect thinking you're bollocks then it's the Dragon's Fire, we're all arseholes. Or you lot, thinking we're all idiots. [ so there, andrew. ]

[badexample]

[She's right about some of them. Probably. But Andrew just keeps his eyes stubbornly forward and mouth shut. It's not really about any of the people in the Hide. His mother had been part of the sect, after all. He's just compared himself to them for his entire life- or rather, he compared himself to his younger brother his entire life. Adam just happened to end up in the Hide. It'll always be a sore spot for him.]

[sorceresslite]

[ his inferiority complex makes her want to punch him (mostly because it so resembles her own), but she refrains. YES, SHE IS NOT GOING TO PUNCH HIM.

w o w. ] No, Rose, don't smell chips. Don't do it! [ but of course rose smells chips, as one does when the world ends, and now ella wants chips. ] They need to put a chippie in the kitchen, I swear.

[badexample]

[Is the only reason she refrains because her cat is covering his junk? He notices how she drops the subject and appreciates it. Silently.]

Be pretty great, wouldn't it? [Pause while he continues to be impulsive with his bestie right now.] Wanna make a run?

[Video games, sci fi, and now potentially a run for chips??? wild and crazy night for these two.]

[sorceresslite]

[ she could punch him in the face, y'know. she's just comfy. but chips on the other hand, way more important than violence. ] Yes!

[badexample]

[Not his beautiful faaaaace. Pausing Netflix, he taps the cat in his lap on the nose.]

Want to come with, fucker? [This trio is just full of love.]

[sorceresslite]

[ aodhagán hisses companionably, whisking his tail up to smack andrew in the face before he leaps gracefully to the floor and heads to the door, looking back like why the fuck aren't you basic bitches moving? LET'S GO, PEOPLE. ]

You're emotionally abusive, you are. [ ella grumbles a little as she gets up, flipping off the cat. but she's getting chips so see if she really gives many a fucks. ]

[badexample]

[Andrew sputters to make sure that there's no fluffy fur in his mouth. But he should have expected that. With both the cat and Ella up and off the couch, Andrew can also get up and head for the garage.]

Physically, too, but he learned that from the best.

[sorceresslite]

That's true, I am rather brilliant.

[badexample]

No arguments there.

[AND THEN THEY GOT TO THE GARAGE. Grabbing the keys for one of the cars, Andrew unlocks it and gets in the driver's side. He waits for the other two to climb in before starting it up.]

Sort of want to eat my weight in chips. Sounds like a good life choice.

[And away they go! Andrew is a decent driver (drive 13) so fear not for your lives, darlings.]

[killmypatience]

[She smiles a bit.]

I'd like that. It'd be good for me to catch up.

[sorceresslite]

[ it pleases her that he agrees with her brilliance. she curls up in the seat and the cat climbs into her lap and spends the whole ride staring pensively out the window like a hipster on a bus in the rain. this cat. idefk. ]

I think you might die of high colesterol but it'd be delcious in the end.

[sorceresslite]

And I'm loads more fun than those stodgy Hoard people. [ lookin' at u, andrew. ] It'll be fun!

[reallywicked]

[When you can't find Prince Charming, why not take a wicked witch? Faye has meant to keep a closer eye on Lissa ever since learning that she knows Rose. But she got distracted by her own life for awhile. After learning that she's going to be promoted, she's pretty much on cloud nine so she approaches the girl with a smile that is not completely fake.]

Lose someone?

[lastdragomir]

Seems like always. [ she says it distractedly before she turns her attention to faye and smiles. ] Hi.

[reallywicked]

Hey. [Its weird how she doesn't hate Lissa on impact. That's how she felt about Rose and Diana. And sort of Lila but then Lila became useful. She doesn't really want to use Lissa for anything except maybe to piss Rose off. For the most part, though, she just doesn't mid talking to the girl.

Ugh is she going soft?]

So who is it this time? Whoever you lost.

[lastdragomir]

[ lissa doesn't mind faye, she's very upfront about the fact that she's a bitch. it's almost refreshing and her snark is familiar. ]

Charming? I usually find him at these, being hopeless. [ she shrugs lightly as to brush it aside. ]

[reallywicked]

Tall? Blonde? Dopey look in his face half the time?

[Yeah I hand wave my characters knowing of each other. WHAT OF IT.]

Maybe he's actually finding something decent to wear this time. [She saw him before you got your hands on him gurl. That guy needs the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy crew to just move on in to help his hopeless self.]

[lastdragomir]

[ i do the same thing, ok.

she snorts out a laugh at faye's summation though and nods. ] That's the one.

[reallywicked]

Haven't seen him but he'll probably turn up. So...you got a thing for him?

[Not everyone is you, Faye...]

[lastdragomir]

[ COMPLETELY TAKEN ABACK which makes her respond with a bit of a "lady doth protest too much" tone. ] No. Not at all.

[reallywicked]

Hey, it's not a big deal. [She thinks you are a lying liar who lies. (Sense motive 9).] He's cute. I wouldn't kick him out of bed.

[lastdragomir]

He's old enough to be my dad! [ ...or older brother? she shakes her head, and repeats, calmly. ] No. I don't have a thing for him.

[ ew. ]
