HOW || Prose OR Actionspam

The "afterparty" is the real main event of the night at every squiring, but tonight'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.

[Ugh. Seriously judging you for this, but whatever. Nobody's perfect. Except Faye, of course. Tossing her hair over her shoulder, she rolls her eyes.]

Fine. Whatever. Another drink? [She asks, but isn't really waiting for an answer. She's just getting you one. Oops.]

[lastdragomir]

Well you're not going to let me say no, are you? [ whatever, she seems at ease with and resigned to faye's bossiness. and maybe she needs more alcohol tbh. ]

[reallywicked]

Now you're catching on. [She hands Lissa another large, strong drink while sipping on her own.]

[lastdragomir]

[ man, no wonder she is a hot mess when max gets his hands on her. ] It isn't hard to grasp. You don't do subtle. [ not well, she doesn't say faye doesn't to subtle well, she just doesn't do subtle at all. ]

[reallywicked]

I don't see much point in being less than direct. It works, doesn't it?

[lastdragomir]

Yeah, but it's not exactly brimming with visions of self-control.

[reallywicked]

I've got control of the situation, don't I? You're having another drink with me and I'm getting what I want.

[totally missing the point]

[lastdragomir]

[ she huffs out an amused laugh, but she doesn't fight it. faye will be faye. she is like alice cullen, there's really no choice but to go along with her. so lissa just smiles and shakes her head. ]

[reallywicked]

[AND THEN THEY GOT BUZZED. AND GOSSIPED PROBABLY???

THE END.]
