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.

Sometimes it's easier. Not to have to make sure your stories are straight.

[She knows that just from being Shadowkind. You need to have your story straight when it's all lies anyway.]

I take it you know the feeling.

[She shrugs.]

Staying under the radar when you're Shadowkind is easier when you're human, but that doesn't mean it's easy. Sometimes people like to look a lot closer than you'd prefer.

There are some people who don't want to believe that there's such a thing as a real 'human' from outside this world.

[personal profile] killmypatience 2014-03-17 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, those people kind of suck.

[At least she tells it like it is?]
telekinection: (i saw a crack in the plan)

[personal profile] telekinection 2014-03-17 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
But unfortunately, there'll probably always be a few.

[personal profile] killmypatience 2014-03-17 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods.]

Some people don't know how to handle something different.

[personal profile] telekinection 2014-03-17 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Or they don't want to know how. Willing ignorance is the worst kind.

[personal profile] killmypatience 2014-03-18 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods in agreement.]

Some people are just too lazy to open their eyes.

I don't know that it's always laziness...
killmypatience: (Default)

[personal profile] killmypatience 2014-03-20 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Some of it is. Some of it is stubborn determination. The lazy ones are always easier to deal with. It usually comes with a side of stupid.
telekinection: (i saw a crack in the plan)

[personal profile] telekinection 2014-03-23 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Stupid is a cinch. It's the ones who understand what they're doing I worry about.

[personal profile] killmypatience 2014-03-25 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods a bit.]

They're usually the ones who know how to play the system.

[personal profile] killmypatience 2014-03-26 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods a bit.]

Those two. Things are always so much bigger than you realize.
telekinection: (and these are the better days)

[personal profile] telekinection 2014-03-27 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose that's why this place will remain an institution for as long as it can. There'll always be someone to stop.

[personal profile] killmypatience 2014-04-03 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
I guess it's that opposite of that metaphor about as long as there's light there's always going to be a shadow. As long as there are bad people out there, the Knights will be there to stop it.

[personal profile] telekinection 2014-04-04 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
I like that. Maybe we can put it on the brochure.
killmypatience: (Default)

[personal profile] killmypatience 2014-04-06 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[She smirks a bit.]

I definitely think that will be a high selling point.
telekinection: (still it seems funny)

[personal profile] telekinection 2014-04-07 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Here's hoping. Thanks for the drink, Kate.

[personal profile] killmypatience 2014-04-13 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods in agreement.]

Anytime.
