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.

Oh yeah. Just knee deep in it now. [He laughs and rolls his eyes. It doesn't sound right at all coming from him.]

They let me run equipment orientation while you were gone [He didn't tell her about it because he was worried about screwing it up and then he didn't want to flail too much about good things.]

[sorceresslite]

Oh and I missed it?! [ SUCH DISAPPOINT. MUCH SAD BEAR. ] I bet you were brilliant. Or you tripped and fell on a laser, I can't decide.

[badexample]

It went okay. I saved some girl's phone data. She might be a crazy person. [lila tbh]

[sorceresslite]

Well it's probably useful having a nutter owe you one.

[badexample]

I guess. Some of the squires they added since you left are bloody bonkers though.

[sorceresslite]

Oh yes, do tell. [ she loops her arm around his and turns them around to survey said people. ] Six months of gossip, go.

[badexample]

[He laugh. Alright this is more normal. ]

Did you hear about the one that tried to set another squire on fire. Can't remember if that was before you left or not.

[sorceresslite]

No! That is wicked! Oh I wish I didn't miss it, that must have been amazing.

[badexample]

Of course you think it's cool. Should have known.

[sorceresslite]

What! I bet it taught the other one to duck, didn't it? It's educational. [ duh, andrew. ]

[badexample]

Heard the pyro got her nose broken. Definitely educational.

[sorceresslite]

Yeah, and now she knows to maybe step back a bit. Wee baby squires.

[badexample]

Don't tell me- you can teach her better, yeah?

[sorceresslite]

'course I can! I've been setting Finn on fire since we were small.

[badexample]

[He shakes his head, laughing.]

Careful with 'em. Those young ones bite.

[sorceresslite]

You're not even that old yourself. We used to be those "young ones".

[badexample]

Speak for yourself. [Hes still sore about turning 30 soon]

[sorceresslite]

I'm only five years younger than you!

[badexample]

Yeah, yeah. You're still a baby leprechaun.

[it was gonna happen]

[sorceresslite]

I AM NOT A LEPRECHAUN. [ yes it was. and ella's hand tightens against his arm to coat him with some ice (ray of frotst: atk nat 20, cry, dmg 2) because that is rude, you dick.)

[badexample]

JESUS FUCK BALLS!

[Andrew has some colorful swears. He yanks his arm away but it's more out of alarm than actual brute strength (str...10)]

[sorceresslite]

Serves you right, wanker. I was even being gentle.

[badexample]

I could get frostbite, you know. [He brushes the ice off his delicate skin]

[sorceresslite]

Too bad, you'll have to learn how to wank with your other hand.

[badexample]

Jokes on you [He mutters] already know how
