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.

Ella! [He gives a look like OH MY GOD DON'T YOU DO THIS TO ME... Then he smiles at Bo very nervously.] Ella- this is Ella.

[succubestie]

Andrew is sweet and fun. I've been hit on a lot of guys, and let me tell you, the super attractive ones? They're usually assholes, full of themselves, and are more interested in arm candy than actually talking to me.

[She smiles, though her eyebrows are raised.]

[sorceresslite]

Well I know that. [ huffiest of huffs. ] He's my best friend, he's perfect. Most girls don't notice because they're tremendously thick.

[badexample]

[He will just slowly turn red over here and try not to be too offended at the fact that he doesn't qualify as 'super attractive.' The good things that are being said sort of mask that one.]

[succubestie]

[Sorry, Andrew. No one is going to say you would be a supermodel.]

Well, most girls are idiots. Speaking of which...

[She gives Andrew an expectant look.]

...You are going to ask me out again, I hope?

[badexample]

[Stunned by the directness of it, Andrew just stands there, mouth hanging open.]

I... I mean I was going to.. Uh... If you want, we could maybe...

[help]

[sorceresslite]

[ ella nudges him roughly. ] Andrew.

Yes. He means yes. Sometimes our accents make it difficult to decipher, but he means yes.

[succubestie]

[She laughs gently, looking between them.]

Well, I won't keep butting into your conversation. [She looks to Andrew.] Call me, find me, whatever. [Then a glance at Ella.] And it was nice to meet you.

[And then she walks away with a grin.]

[badexample]

[Andrew just sort of fumbles nervously until she's already turned away and walking off.]

I'll, uh- I'll talk to you later. [Wow, that was pathetic. He covers his face with one hand and just mutters various curses under his breath.]

So... that was Bo.

[sorceresslite]

I love her.

[badexample]

Yeah? She's pretty awesome, isn't she? [Still perpetually shocked that she said yes to a date (and is now demanding a second basically????)]

[sorceresslite]

She's very forward. Which is probably good because you're so fucking dense you're practically backwards.

[badexample]

[And then Ella perfectly summed up why they're so perfect.]

Would you believe my squire set us up? Sort of.

[Oh yeah. That squire he probably mentioned? Idk how much she was texting him.]

[sorceresslite]

Oh yeah, where is he? [ she looks around like she's going to be able to find him. ] You're supposed to find me a man.

[ a man she doesn't... actually want. ]

[badexample]

Don't think Brantley's your sort. He keeps... hitting on me.

[sorceresslite]

Proper hitting on you like Edain with me? [ she'd have told him all about their crypt adventure and all the flirting. ] Or that one time you thought I was hitting on you but I was just asking you to get something off the top shelf?

[badexample]

He thought it would be great to let me know he'd have sex with me if that was how the squire/mentor thing worked around here...

[sorceresslite]

...oh. [ omg she's holding in the laughter. she's doing it. SHE IS BOSS. ] Well. You are quite handsome, Gatewood.

[badexample]

Oh, shove it. He's not so bad when he's not... doing that. But he wanted to show me how to pick up women. So we went to the bar. Bo was working there. I guess she bartends when she's not being a knight?

[sorceresslite]

How in fucktopia is it that I'm the cute one [ this is fact, sorry. ] but you've got birds and blokes queuing up to fuck you?

[ sure you missed your vulgar bestie, andrew, are you sure? ]

[badexample]

It's not like I asked for it! Besides...who said anything about girls being interested in that. [Speaking of Andrew being dense. Yeah he doesn't really imagine Bo is interested in banging him.]

[sorceresslite]

...you know real people go on dates to get to the point where they get to fuck like bunnies, yeah?

[badexample]

What..? You mean you think Bo would... I don't think there's enough liquor in the world to convince her of THAT.

[sorceresslite]

Come here. [ she reaches up to pull him down to her height, he can deal with the back pain tomorrow. ] Your lack of self-esteem is making me angry. You are brilliant, if as dense as a shat brick, you're -- [ she makes a face, ugh ] -- attractive, you're funny as hell, and anyone, Bo included, would be lucky to get all up on your cock. So shut up, go find her and get a second date, you daft cow.

[badexample]

[Bent at the waist, Andrew can't help the heat of a blush that rushes to his face at her encouragement. But it works, if not in a round about way. He doesn't storm off to find Bo and charm the pants off her. But he does reach out and wrap Ella up in another hug. Because she's bad at this but in a way that's perfect for him.]

Missed you.
