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.

Or all the time. That's why we moved here. Definitely time for a change.

Where did you move here from? A different branch?

Ireland! [ and it's hard to miss the lilt behind her words ] My dad got a job as Chief of Police here in London, so Mom and I transferred here. I've never lived anywhere else before. It's so exciting!

[personal profile] allmydreams 2014-03-02 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I love Ireland. I've been there a few times for work.

[a beat.]

My previous job, anyway. I'm still fairly new to all of this.
moonheart: (don't wanna stand in line)

[personal profile] moonheart 2014-03-02 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
What kind of job did you do?
allmydreams: (Default)

[personal profile] allmydreams 2014-03-10 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Acquisitions. Mostly for private clients.

[personal profile] moonheart 2014-03-11 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Is that a euphemism? That sounds like a euphemism.
allmydreams: (Default)

[personal profile] allmydreams 2014-03-11 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
It is absolutely a euphemism.

[She smirks a bit.]

I was a thief.
moonheart: (don't wanna fall behind)

[personal profile] moonheart 2014-03-12 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Ohmigosh, cool. Like Ocean's 11 thief or Aladdin one-jump-ahead kind of thief, or ...

I like to think of myself as more of an Irene Adler type.

[Or she aspires to be at any rate. Most of the time she's more like Oliver Twist who never got adopted.]
moonheart: (Default)

[personal profile] moonheart 2014-03-13 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
A who? [ yeah, no, that was some major pop culture fail ]
allmydreams: (Default)

[personal profile] allmydreams 2014-03-16 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her eyebrows climb a bit at that.]

Sherlock Holmes? The only person who ever beat him?
moonheart: (the bong in this reggae song)

[personal profile] moonheart 2014-03-17 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah! My dad loves those stories. I probably read them when I was really little.
allmydreams: (Default)

[personal profile] allmydreams 2014-03-17 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Well, Irene was a thief, and crafty and scheming, and she bested the best detective in the world. I aspire to be half as good as her.
moonheart: (it's not always meant to be)

[personal profile] moonheart 2014-03-17 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
If you do that, you totally need a nemesis! We need to find you a Sherlock Holmes.
allmydreams: (Default)

[personal profile] allmydreams 2014-03-18 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[New favorite person award goes to Faith.]

That is exactly what I need.
moonheart: (i'm the last splash)

[personal profile] moonheart 2014-03-19 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
My dad's the police chief of London. I'd volunteer him if it wouldn't be all weird and stuff.
allmydreams: (Default)

[personal profile] allmydreams 2014-03-20 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
[She cringes a bit.]

I think that might be a little too close to home for me.
moonheart: (the bong in this reggae song)

[personal profile] moonheart 2014-03-23 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Because the Knights are all like a big family?
allmydreams: (Default)

[personal profile] allmydreams 2014-03-25 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Sort of.

[More like she doesn't like to start shit where she works. But all the same, she'd rather it be someone she can detach from.]
moonheart: (follow your wishing heart.)

[personal profile] moonheart 2014-03-25 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
I'll work on it. There's gotta be somebody out there.
allmydreams: (Default)

[personal profile] allmydreams 2014-03-26 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I appreciate the assist all the same.
moonheart: (just get in)

[personal profile] moonheart 2014-03-27 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
No prob! [ she grins blithely. ] I'm gonna go get a refill, though. [ she clinks her empty glass with a nail ] I'll see you 'round, Irene!
allmydreams: (Default)

[personal profile] allmydreams 2014-04-03 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods and raises her half a glass in return.]

See you around.

[And with that, she wanders off the opposite way.]
