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.

Huh. [ if she ever did know that story, she probably doesn't remember it. too sad 8( ] Does your dad live here too, in the castle?
moonheart: (got to be good as gold)

[personal profile] moonheart 2014-02-12 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Nooooo, he lives in London. I mean, that's technically where we live too. He's the Police Chief there.

[ she pulls a face ] Doesn't that cramp your style?
moonheart: (but perfectly honestly)

[personal profile] moonheart 2014-02-14 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Are you kidding? It means I can get out of just about anything!

[personal profile] missindependent 2014-02-14 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, right... [ she mulls that over for a minute ] That's probably the coolest thing ever, not gonna lie. You have a pretty awesome dad. [ whom she has met and does not remember ]

Only the awesomest. I just wish I could see him more. And I haven't seen Dylan in like, ages.

[ nice wisdom check of 7, fiona. dylan would be so sad. ] Dylan...? Who's that again?
moonheart: (looks like i gotta be hot and cold)

[personal profile] moonheart 2014-02-14 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
My brother! He helped us slay the dragon, remember?

[personal profile] missindependent 2014-02-14 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ well she got a 13 wisdom check for that, so it's starting to sound vaguely familiar ] Oh yeah! The cute mute.
moonheart: (i don't wanna be second best)

[personal profile] moonheart 2014-02-14 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
I guess he would be cute, since we have the same genes.
missindependent: (pic#7379849)

[personal profile] missindependent 2014-02-19 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ she bumps elbows with her ] Damn straight.

So, why isn't Dylan here with you?
moonheart: (got to be good as gold)

[personal profile] moonheart 2014-02-19 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ faith makes a face ] Because he wanted to go to film school. I'm like why do you think you have to go to school to use a video camera? He uses one all the time!

[personal profile] missindependent 2014-02-22 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it can't be that hard. [ her brain's slowly filling in the gaps ] Sounds like a way for him to continue his slacker life without taking too much heat from your parents.
moonheart: (seems as if it's all to say)

[personal profile] moonheart 2014-02-23 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess I can't blame him. He didn't really wanna be a Knight, and he would have been all alone with like... Appoloin and Anahita and company back in Ireland.

[personal profile] missindependent 2014-02-25 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess we'll just have to track him down at some point and make him adventure with us again.
moonheart: (Default)

[personal profile] moonheart 2014-02-26 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Ooo, I call dibs on tickling him into submission!
missindependent: (Default)

[personal profile] missindependent 2014-03-01 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she gives her the weirdest look, b/c why would fiona want to tickle dylan?? it's weird. ] That part's all yours.
moonheart: (i don't wanna be second best)

[personal profile] moonheart 2014-03-06 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! By the way. Do you know Thoster? He's got a pirate ship and he said we can totally use it for throwing a giant boat party. [ he hasn't even really answered her yet in that thread, but either way she will pretend he said yes so.... ]
missindependent: (pic#7379853)

[personal profile] missindependent 2014-03-07 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Thoster? [ this can be before or after her dance with him, either way the name and/or pirate ship aren't ringing a bell ] I don't... think so? But now you're definitely have to introduce me. This boat party has got to happen.
moonheart: (don't wanna stand in line)

[personal profile] moonheart 2014-03-08 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
He's a bard! And a pirate. A pirate bard. How cool is that?
