after-party ♔ february



Kodo (Inside the Sun remix) - Yoshida Brothers

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 || February 1st, 2014, 6:00PM [backdated]
HOW || Prose OR Actionspam


The "afterparty" is the real main event of the night at every squiring, but t
onight's party is a little different than usual - Faith has successfully lobbied (as in roped people into helping her decorate for) a Chinese New Year's party, or Lunar New Year, theme.  With Knights from all over the world, it was easy to get input from those who traditionally celebrate the holiday, and Wynn is all about the spirit of cultural unity.  Not to mention, the second of the 15 days of the spring festival is all about spending time with one's family and friends.  

The lavish, opulent ballroom has been transformed, filled with red lanterns, peach blossoms, kumquat plants, and chrysanthemums.    People are encouraged to dress in red to ward off evil spirits and bad luck, and avail themselves of the New Year's Cake, golden champagne cocktail, rice pudding, candied fruits, and the Tray of Togetherness.
As always, 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.

Sight-seeing in Scotland. Hiking, spelunking ... [ her brow furrows as she tries to test the waters here. ] What did Lila tell you?

Lila hates magic. [But more than that, she's pissed (and kind of hurt but won't even try to think about that) that Lila got to go while she sat around and did nothing. Gold had mentioned that he was taking Emma to learn to use her powers and didn't extend the invitation to her, but Lila got to go. Yep, second fiddle feelings firmly in place.]

Whatever.

That's sort of why she came. [ she can tell faye is getting pissy and she's going to use honesty and hope it's super effective in defusing it. ] We were trying to find something to break a curse. Lila went because she had a stake in seeing that through.

[just staring]

You know what? You can stop lying any time now. [hahahah sense motive 4 and she's already suspicious as fuck from before. backfired dice roll.]
uncurse: (☇ really very short on charm)

And you can stop overreacting to not going on a mission that was none of your business. [ her tone turns sharp in response - not encouraging any cattiness, but rather the stern kind of mom-voice that tells faye to mind her tone. emma's having none of it. she would have gone by herself if she'd had the means, and she sure as fuck doesn't enjoy being accused of lying. ]

[To be fair, Emma... you did lie...

Faye doesn't respond well to mom tone, especially when she's compensating for feeling like she's made a mistake putting any amount of trust in the people here. Before all this conversation spiraled out of control, she was thinking about filling Emma in on how she got shot and nearly died, but now she has no desire to even stand here next to the woman.

She glares the way only indignant teenagers can and just turns to leave because wow she doesn't want to deal with this bullshit.]
