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 tonight'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).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.
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.

I consider myself an equal opportunity kind of girl.

She chuckles.]
I was starting to wonder how many hints a lady had to drop. But I'll give him a pass this time.

[ SUSPICIOUS. just let her get it out of her system. ] Don't break his heart, yeah?

[He might be the one running for the hills after they have a serious talk, because that's a thing that's going to need to happen if this goes any further.]
I have no intention of doing any such thing.

It's good that you look after him. Everyone needs a friend like that.

[ DO YOU WANT STORY TIME, BO?!!? ]
no subject
[Yes, good, storytime.]
Oh, really? Now you know you have to tell me, right?

We were in the woods, camping like prize fucking idiots since we're both a bit dense when it comes to surviving. Or packing a bloody torch. We went off to find some more wood for the fire and got separated. [ and here is where the truth diverges wholly from the fiction of this story. but it's still fairly believable (bluff 19) because I guess she can only lie when it comes to boosting andrew's street cred. such a good best friend. ] There's this... thing in Ireland, called Bloody Bones? He's basically our version of the Boogeyman, he preys on kids that aren't very kind and gentle, or tell lies and cuss. So basically me. [ kanyeshrug, she knows she has a very expletive riddled manner of speaking sometimes. ] Andrew sort of saved me. [ and her nose wrinkles to show how much she hates that. ] I mean, granted he tripped and shoved Bloody Bones into the fire, but he well and proper fucking saved me so now I've got to be grateful to that bastard.
[ a beat. ] And then the next night we got a hotel on Wynn's tab because no, no camping, that shit is for elves.

[For being a fantastic liar herself, Bo is not all that great at figuring out when others are doing it to her, oops (sense motive 7). It's a good story, that's what matters.]
And you've been close ever since?
