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.

Familiar faces are something of a rarity for me, so I guess it's nice to have Faith around, too. Someone I actually remember knowing.

I asked Wynn if he could squire you to her, since I thought that might... make the transition easier for you.

Cool. Thanks! [ she shrugs though ] I'm kinda used to it after all this time, though.

That doesn't mean we can't make you comfortable here. Faith talked Wynn into all this just for you. I'm glad to see her pouring her energy into something-- [ not illegal ] so positive.

Yeah, it's quite a party. [ she looks around in amazement for like the millionth time tonight ] And it's not that I'm not grateful to have Faith around. I think we're gonna have a blast.

I'm sure you will. I just wanted to say congratulations, and welcome, and let you know that if you need anything else, you can always come to me.
