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.

[Andie's wisdom check of 18 makes her get the annoyance pretty hard but since she doesn't particularly know the connection between Lila and Thoster.... she's just got no clue what's going on.]

Ooookay. Did I do something to piss you off?
bittersweeter: (♔ conversational)

[personal profile] bittersweeter 2014-02-14 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, can you just permanently break up with Thoster so he stops telling me how much he hates that you don't love him because its starting to give me a migraine every time he opens his mouth. There is only so much waxing poetic I can stand. [ ...subtle is just not on the menu this day. ]
asap: (aaawkward)

[personal profile] asap 2014-02-14 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[w o w and they say Andie moves fast. She looks a little startled at the request.]

I thought I did.
bittersweeter: (♔ words)

[personal profile] bittersweeter 2014-02-14 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Men are idiots. Be blunt. Really, really blunt. Over and done with, kaput, so long and thanks for all the fish.
asap: (pouty)

I thought I was! But he keeps singing songs and writing letters and being all romantic and confusing and obnoxious! I'm only human! [A barely perceptible beat.] Well, I guess I'm technically not human at all and actually part-god, but still!
bittersweeter: (♔ well...)

[personal profile] bittersweeter 2014-02-18 02:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ SPOILER ALERT. lila snorts derisively. ]

He didn't write that letter, I did.
asap: (hurr hurr hurr)

[personal profile] asap 2014-02-18 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[....yeah Andie just crit failed her sense motive. She lets out a little disbelieving laugh.]

You did not. Why would you say that?
bittersweeter: (♔ concern?)

[personal profile] bittersweeter 2014-02-18 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Because you're both unhappy! And you deserve the truth. [ she knows that she's going about this wrong. she's not good at being gentle, she wasn't gentle with daneca either. but as long as it gets the point across, that should do the trick, right? ]

"Without you in my life it seems the light has gone out of the world, everything has faded and there is no color to me." Sound familiar? [ wis 19 to remember that line. ]
asap: (no way)

[personal profile] asap 2014-02-23 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Wis 14. Look, that was months ago, do you really expect her to remember something that happened so long ago. She has trouble with five minutes.]

Uhh.... no? It sounds pretty, though!
bittersweeter: (♔ yell)

[personal profile] bittersweeter 2014-02-24 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course it's pretty, I wrote it. [ modesty, what? ] Look, I wrote it, so technically, if you're in love with anyone it's me and no offence, Andie, dear, but you're not my type. [ she sets her drink down and puts both her hands on andie's shoulders. ] So, please, for my sake, grab the single bull by the horns and make it your bitch.
asap: (yeah right)

[personal profile] asap 2014-02-26 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
[With her wisdom check of 2, Andie is having a lot of trouble following along with what's happening. She looks really confused.]

I'm in love with you...?

[SHE IS PRETTY SURE SHE WOULD HAVE NOTICED THAT. I mean, Lila's super pretty, but Andie just doesn't know her that well...]
bittersweeter: (chug 1)

[personal profile] bittersweeter 2014-03-03 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
...no. [ she sighs and tosses back some of her drink. this place is making her an alcoholic. ] Just. Break up with him. For your own sake.

[ and she's just going to wander off because nope, she retires. ]
