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 || March 12th, 2013, 6:00PM [backdated]
HOW || Prose OR Actionspam

The "afterparty" is rumored to be the real main event of the night. A black-tie affair in the lavish, opulent ballroom, 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.

[bluffcheck]

Barrels of it, actually. [He answers without a moment's hesitation. When he turns to look at her, Thoster gives a quick look up and down, appraising.]

I am now.

[killmypatience]

[She's had enough to drink at this point that she doesn't quite mind the once over and gives him a smile in return.]

Happy to improve your evening.

[bluffcheck]

I've seen you around before. Have we met? They call me Thoster, though they may as well call me a fool for not making sure to know the name of a beautiful woman such as yourself.

[killmypatience]

We did. At my squiring actually.

[But that was a while ago and he seemed distracted. She won't hold it against him. She extends a hand out to him.]

Kate.

[bluffcheck]

[Taking her hand, he turns it over so he can kiss the back of it. (cha 15)]

I beg your forgiveness, Kate. I'll never make the mistake to forget a lovely face and name like yours.

[killmypatience]

[Kate is not so easily charmed (will save 18), but she also doesn't particularly mind, so Thoster will get a wide smile all the same.]

At least you have the charm to make up for it.

[bluffcheck]

I try. But I cannot help if I find myself inspired in the presence of beauty.

[killmypatience]

Then you must find yourself with a lot of ... inspiration.

[Because let's face it, the knights around here are all really hot. Also this is a test.]

[bluffcheck]

Oh, perhaps, but there's a difference between a spark that some might give and an overflowing fountain. A man could drown in the pages he'd fill, writing about the beauty in your eyes.

[He really likes to lay it on thick okay.]

[killmypatience]

[Oh, he does lay it on thick. And he does it well, too, but Kate isn't so easily swayed - at least not yet (will save 20 total).]

But only in my eyes?

[bluffcheck]

The rest may be less proper to discuss in public.

[killmypatience]

Well, I do appreciate good manners.

[Of a sort.]

[bluffcheck]

A shame, that. Pirates rarely have good manners.

[killmypatience]

All the more reason to appreciate them when they happen. Though bad boys do have a certain amount of charm.

[bluffcheck]

Truly, I can be whatever type you'd prefer. I'm a complex bloke like that.

[killmypatience]

I can appreciate that.

[A little complexity is never a bad thing at all.]

One kind of guy all the time could get a little boring.

[bluffcheck]

Oh I strive to be anything but boring, lass.

[killmypatience]

I'd say mission accomplished.

[Because so far? Kate is not bored.]

[bluffcheck]

[That earns her a satisfied smirk and a booming laugh.]

Ah, and she hasn't even heard me sing. You'll be in for a treat later, I think.

[killmypatience]

[Her eyebrows raise a bit, but in a good way.]

Sings too? I think this could work out very well.

[bluffcheck]

[Oh Thoster likes this one.]

Care to join me in a dance, lass? Floor looks lonely, doesn't it?

[killmypatience]

[Kate nods in agreement, before extending a hand to him.]

I would love to.

[bluffcheck]

[Thoster is aiming to impress the shit out of Kate apparently because he is giving her all his best moves. (Perform dance nat 20)]

What's your story, lass?

[killmypatience]

[She falls into step next to him easily, keeping up in time with the music (perform dance 18). She's not as good as Thoster, but she's holding her own.]

Fell through the Veil about a year ago. I was working for a bail bondsmen for a while until I got picked up by the knights.
