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.

[Oh god he's a dirty old man.

Whatever, he's over it, he's not gonna do it again.]


Same to you, lass. Turns out your quite good company.

Don't get used to it. [She retorts because... well, she likes her bitch reputation a lot.] So... was there anything else you wanted to know?

[Not that she can give him much since all she knows it what she's built here.]

[His lip turns up a bit. He doesn't know what to ask, really. He's new to this too. But the fact that she seems to want to talk more is probably good.]

How was your last mission?

I shot a dinosaur. [She pauses.] But... you probably don't even know what that is.
unhand: (still sexy when bruised)

I know what a dinosaur is. [Sort of. He has a vague idea of some sort of giant lizard monster (knowledge 13).]

Gold star for you. [She's actually a little impressed.] But you know they're supposed to be dead, right? This one wasn't. Until we killed it.
unhand: (dark and mysterious)

...and how did it come to live again in the first place?

I think he made it. Had a whole lab set up. It went down pretty fast though. Maybe it was just a baby. [Shes not really remorseful about killing a baby anything.] My mission in Nevada had zombie kids. Dinosaur kids wouldn't be a leap.
unhand: (perfect bedhead)

I'll admit, I'm hardly a zombie expert, but I don't believe those two are precisely comparable.

[She rolls her eyes.] Both kids. Both created by outside forces. Both have a craving for delicious human flesh. [boom]
unhand: (mockery is awesome)

[personal profile] unhand 2014-03-15 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
One's a bit more scaly than the other, though. Unless these were some particularly interesting zombies.

Just the normal decaying kind. It was pretty gross, actually. I think I preferred the dinosaur.
unhand: (you flew me to places I'd never been)

[personal profile] unhand 2014-03-17 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
A more straight forward fight, I'd imagine. At least dinosaurs don't look like human children.

Considering I had to set a crib on fire to get rid of the ghost bitch who was haunting the place? It was a pretty creepy trip overall. [She's quiet for a second.] I kept her journal. The ghost. Before she died, she wrote all this... It was really crazy.
unhand: (wet and intense)

[personal profile] unhand 2014-03-23 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
What'd she say? [If Hook's surprised Faye would be nostalgic enough to keep a ghost's journal, he doesn't say it.]

Her husband was a controlling asshole who made her feel like she had to have a baby to be worthwhile. So she jumped through all these hoops and tried all kind of dangerous, experimental shit to get pregnant. And then she miscarried. But by that point, she was just out of her fucking mind and she kept talking about the baby in the journal, like it never died.

[She's read it a few times since the mission ended. For some reason, that one really stuck with her.]
unhand: (lovely coloring)

[personal profile] unhand 2014-03-31 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Not much of a husband, if he had to bully her like that. [He looks a little sad at the idea.] She should've left him.

I don't think she thought she could. She just wanted to make him happy, to have a family. And it killed her in the end.
