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.

It might. You never know who might show up around here. But even then, she might not remember you. The Veil's a bitch like that.

I suppose it is. [But it's time to derail this conversation.]

What about you? Do you remember anything of your life from before?

[She shakes her head, expression falling just slightly. It's still hard for her to not know who she was before at all.]

Not a thing. Just my name.

[He feels for you, boo. D;]

It seems one of those situations where nobody wins.

Basically. Maybe I'm better off- who fucking knows. The Veil could have saved me from some really terrible memories. But I didn't even know I had magic when I came through. And sometimes I wonder if knew before.

Perhaps that isn't such a bad thing.

[He isn't being callous or uncaring, pls let him explain.]

In my world, mages are persecuted for their power.

Why? [Okay she can understand a little. I mean some spells were pretty dangerous.]

What about you? Going to try to lock me up for it?

[personal profile] ex_noble101 2014-05-01 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Fear that they might allow themselves to be overtaken by malevolent forces should their will ever fail them.

I was never a big fan of mage persecution, personally. I tried to do what little I could to help those branded apostates and hunted for wanting their freedom whenever I was able--which, admittedly, wasn't much.

Well, thanks. I guess. For trying to help.

[She is speaking for all of mage kind, I guess. Faye is the magic lorax.]

[personal profile] ex_noble101 2014-05-03 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
You're quite welcome. [And he's quite amused by her new role as magical spokesperson. Say quite again.]

[quite

The song starts to end and Faye's steps slow a bit.]


Guess I'll know who to call if anyone tries to burn me at the stake.

[personal profile] ex_noble101 2014-05-06 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
I'd be offended if it were anyone else. [cue Enrique Iglesias' "hero" or whatever that shit is called.]

[She smirks a little, head ducking down for a moment.]

I'll call you. [And hey- she actually means it. But she's also walking off.]
