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.

Or I could be the Doctor and you could be my companion. He's always wanted to be ginger. If he can't be Idris Elba, he might as well have a vagina.

[badexample]

[Normally, he'd fight with her about it, tell her all the reasons why he would make a perfectly fine Doctor, but really- he doesn't feel like it.]

Could I have a bad ass coat like Captain Jack? [Important questions.]

[sorceresslite]

No, then I would just want to snog your face off and it would be awkward. You could be Rose though! And Bo could be Jack! Then you two could dance while Mickey and I -- Edain can be Mickey -- make a mess out of something.

[badexample]

Don't tell me you're still hanging around that jerk. [No one was very surprised that Andrew and Edain don't get along.]

[sorceresslite]

Oh come off it, he's not a jerk. [ yes he is. ] He's funny.

[badexample]

You're right. He's not a jerk.

[dramatic pause...and a look down at her.]

He's a dick.

[sorceresslite]

[ she sticks out her tongue, rolling her eyes slightly. ] Yeah, he's a sexist, rude, bastard of a dick. He still makes me laugh and he's obviously got some redeeming qualities otherwise Wynn wouldn't've let him in.

[ but really, he makes her laugh, that's it. and he's a massive boost to her ego always. ]

[badexample]

[Andrew just grumbles something under his breath about the 'fucking Hide.' But instead of arguing further, he just stuffs some doritos in his mouth.]

[sorceresslite]

[ MOAR EYE ROLLING. ] Oi, what if I had joined the Hide? [ not that she would have because she is the most fragile person ever with her staggering 13hp like w o w. but she is violent enough to have considered it for twelve seconds. ] Would you still be personally affronted that it exists?

[badexample]

You're different. You treat me like shit because you love me, not because you think you're better than me.

[That's it. That's the friendship.]

[sorceresslite]

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.]

[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.

[badexample]

Not that concerned with living to be a hundred or anything anyway.

[And as soon as the words are out of his mouth, he feels bad... and dumb... and bad dumb. Because she just got back from burying her parents. Smooth work, Gatewood.]

[sorceresslite]

Might not make it to thirty with that attitude. [ she doesn't give a fuck, tbh. about his lack of smooth. her parents were old when they took her and finn in, they were very old when they died. good lives, they had. ] Me? I'm gonna live for hundreds of years, there's probably spells out there for that.

[ and leprechaun genes. BUT SHE IS NOT A LEPRECHAUN. ]
