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.

[He laughs again.]

So you, uh... Think I'm doing okay? With her, I mean.
sorceresslite: iconsforkittens / deathbites @ ij (you got a magical handshake)

[personal profile] sorceresslite 2014-02-07 12:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I mean, completely daft if you think this is a well and proper date, as it's not, but well enough. She is the one that mentioned a second date, remember? You're doing fine. [ she pats his arm fondly and actually refrains from shocking him for once. positive reinforcement! ]

I was thinking... I was thinking about asking her out for Valentine's Day? Too much? [Also wow Ella touching him and he doesn't end up in pain. Very holiday. Such special. Wow.]
sorceresslite: (you're not the average jane)

[personal profile] sorceresslite 2014-02-10 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
No, that sounds cute. So long as you don't buy her one of those stupid bears that says "I love you" on it's wee little heart pillow. [ a beat. ] Those are mine and I'm not sharing.

[personal profile] badexample 2014-02-12 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
'Course not. Flowers though, yeah? And dinner and... I don't know something else. I've got time to plan it. [A whole two weeks to find a reservation open for Valentine's Day....]

Means we couldn't spend all night watching movies like normal, though.
sorceresslite: (you're like a long game token)

[personal profile] sorceresslite 2014-02-12 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
We've got the afternoon. [ she is oddly gracious in the ease at which she gives in. she has andrew's best interests at heart 99 percent of the time. bo makes him happy, so ella doesn't mind slightly adjusting their annual routine. ] You'll just have to owe me forever.

[personal profile] badexample 2014-02-13 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if it's only forever... [Stepping up, he wraps an arm around her and squeezes her close against his side.]

You're the best.
sorceresslite: (there's an awful lot of)

[personal profile] sorceresslite 2014-02-14 01:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Aren't I though? Thank you for noticing.

[ never change, ella, never change. ]

Maybe you could help me? Y'know with the planning. Or at least let me know if what I come up with is complete shit.
sorceresslite: (if this were twelfth grade)

[personal profile] sorceresslite 2014-02-18 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
You're givin' me veto power? You mad, I think everything you come up with is shit. [ truth. ] But Bo seems to like it, bless her, so I think you'll be fine.

[ of course she is going to help, though. ]

I'm hiring you as a romantic consultant. I don't fucking know. You know I don't know a thing about women.

[They can be bad at all this stuff together. Between the two of them, they'll do great.]
sorceresslite: (is to it's own devices)

[personal profile] sorceresslite 2014-03-03 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
What the fuck do I know about women! [ SERIOUSLY. ] Have you forgotten I've been on a whole two dates, one of which was with you, dumbo, and I've never had a boyfriend. Seriously.

[ JUDGING YOU. ]
badexample: (Default)

[personal profile] badexample 2014-03-05 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
You've been a woman your whole life! And you're the only one I know well enough to talk about this shit, so you're gonna need to get the fuck on board, alright?!
sorceresslite: (you'd be my cap and gown)

[personal profile] sorceresslite 2014-03-13 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
This is going to be a fucking catastrophe.
badexample: (Default)

[personal profile] badexample 2014-03-15 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
You're only just now realizing this? Pretty sure that sums up my whole life.
sorceresslite: (and i'd bow down to you)

[personal profile] sorceresslite 2014-03-15 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
Alright! Jesus fucking Christ, I'll help, y'wanker.

[He leans down and kisses her forehead because whatever they know each other better than anyone. It's a thing.]

You're the best. I should probably get back to her, huh? I'll catch up with you later, yeah?
sorceresslite: (in the back of your head)

[personal profile] sorceresslite 2014-03-26 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep. I am. Go. [ she gives him a little shove like ew get off me, that's gross. because she's five. ]
