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.

No, it's just hard to get a handle on. [ even not being a child born in the forties, sean is like a slowly meandering river and faye is white water rapids, she upsets his balance. he doesn't mind, otherwise he wouldn't have sought her out, but it takes some effort to keep up. ] I'm old-fashioned. [ which is strange to say because much of his thoughts and values could be considered progressive. ]

You seem to have no problem getting a handle tonight. [She gives a glance down to his hands on her as their dancing.] So what's changed?

I've been here longer? [ he came through the veil with nothing, no memory just a bunch of dwarves to make friends with. it's been a slow build. plus he probably found a dealer by now and is back to his old free love hippie habits to calm down his overactive brain. ]

[Witches like to commune with nature. Share the love, Sean.]

Well, I'm glad you're catching up. I'm not that patient either.

[ nien child. ] I had a feeling.

[She makes a small approving sort of noise.]

So... Any other tips or tricks you've picked up since we last talked?

[personal profile] imgonnadie 2014-02-04 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
One or two. [ he glances around and purses his lips like he's going to whistle, but nothing comes out. or does it?!?!? it totally does because lila's half empty glass of vodka and pink lemonade just exploded in her hand to the chorus of her shriek of "motherfucker!" (concentration 21) he looks back at faye like whoops but he is all stupidly proud of himself. it's endearing as fuck wow. ]

[Faye should not laugh at her friend's expense. She shouldn't. But she does. To be fair, Lila would do the same. It's not like anyone is in real danger, because if Lila was actually HURT by the little stunt, Sean's balls would be forcibly removed from the rest of him.]

Oh my god. [She leans in towards his shoulder to muffle the sound of her laughter.]

[personal profile] imgonnadie 2014-02-10 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ PERFECT REACTION! his arm comes up to curl around her lightly, almost like he's holding her against him. maybe he is. maybe he's not, it's hard to tell with sean, but he's definitely grinning with wild abandon at her reaction. ]

Yeah. [ so smug. ]

[After a few moments, Faye manages to get her shit together and pull back just enough to look at him.]

She would kill you if she ever knew that was you. [Actually dead. Faye you should not be this amused.]

[personal profile] imgonnadie 2014-02-21 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
So let's not tell her then? I prefer the whole living thing, I'm pretty good at it.

What's in it for me if I keep your secret?

[personal profile] imgonnadie 2014-06-01 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Undying gratitude? [ nothing, okay. nothing is in it for her. ]

[personal profile] reallywicked 2014-06-01 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
You're going to have to do better than that.

[personal profile] imgonnadie 2014-06-01 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
That's all I've got, sweetheart. [ he says sweetheart with a casual ease, not at all condescending. he's just got that sixties charm. ]

Pity. [She doesn't look that upset.] But I'll take it anyway.

[personal profile] imgonnadie 2014-06-07 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome. [ omg he is such a tool. ] What'd'ya been up to around here?
