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.

[Smile~ Because he at least remembered her enough to make up for any lost introductions.]

And how are you liking the knighthood thus far?

I like it a lot, actually. I think it's a much better fit for me than what I was doing before.

[It was a little bit of everything to keep her from getting bored. Which is good because she doesn't do bored well.]

What was it you were doing before, if you don't mind my asking?

[At this point, she's pretty much given up on the pretense.]

I was a thief.

[He's made friends with a helluva lot worse.]

Quite a lucrative career choice. What changed your mind?

I was looking for something new. My mentor made an ... intriguing case.

[personal profile] ex_noble101 2014-03-26 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds like you landed one of the friendlier mentors.

[personal profile] allmydreams 2014-04-03 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
I guess I did. It certainly could have been worse.

Let me guess. Healer? [Because she clearly wasn't a fighter--no offense, gurl.]

[She shakes her head.]

Thief. Though he's more of a ... scholar, I guess.

[personal profile] ex_noble101 2014-04-27 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Most thieves are well-learned when it comes to the items they wish to steal [not to mention the actual manner of doing so], so I suppose that makes sense.

[personal profile] allmydreams 2014-04-28 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods a bit.]

Especially when you're stealing magical items, it's always important to do your homework.

[personal profile] ex_noble101 2014-04-28 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
I'd imagine it is.

[personal profile] allmydreams 2014-05-10 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
We work well together, though. Which is probably better than I can say for most.

[personal profile] ex_noble101 2014-05-12 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
I think you're right, from what I hear. [But then the song ends, and something a lot more upbeat that Aedan isn't quite as comfortable dancing to comes on.]

Thank you for the dance.

[She nods in return as she takes a step back.]

Thank you. I think I'm going to grab another drink.

[He can join her if he wants, or he can wander off to talk to someone else. This would be an out, if he's looking for one.]

[personal profile] ex_noble101 2014-05-15 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
You read my mind. [Which I guess is his way of inviting himself along...]

[personal profile] allmydreams 2014-05-18 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[And off they go to get their drink on. Good times.]
