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.

[ aww reminiscing: one of her many weaknesses. her smile softens and she smile fondly. ] Yes, but mostly because I've never been more nervous in my entire life.

[valdrin]

Nervous? Well. I certainly couldn't tell.

[socialgraces]

Well I am quite good at hiding that sort of thing.

You mean to tell me you weren't nervous at all?

[valdrin]

I was the picture of wit and composure, as I remember it.

[socialgraces]

As usual. [ she smirks, her fingers running lightly along his collar ] I've rarely seen you any other way.

[valdrin]

I don't know... I can think of a few instances where you've seen me quite uncomposed.

[socialgraces]

[ she hums in appreciation, her mind flitting to those instances as well ] Those are my favorite moments... for a multitude of reasons.

[valdrin]

I should love to hear them detailed some day.

[socialgraces]

I most enjoy that I share those moments only with you. [ she's a big fan of intimacy, in case he hasn't picked up on that yet ]

[valdrin]

I must admit I rather enjoy that fact as well.

[socialgraces]

[ she smiles warmly, and this has clearly become a ~moment~. she leans forward (with her terrible will save), as if to kiss him, but her nat 20 wisdom check causes her to stop short, and she pauses there for a second, her smile softening. ] I'm finding it hard to remember just how we ever made it through one of these without vanishing partway through.

[valdrin]

[ yeah well his crit failed will save says he gives no fucks as he leans in to abruptly close the gap and give her a long, romantic smooch right on the dance floor. ayup. ]

[socialgraces]

[ so much for not sharing private moments with the world x( but she doesn't pull away, because she likes romantic, and instead kisses him back with equal passion (dex 24). after a long moment she finally breaks the kiss, still smiling as she catches her breath. ] You really did miss this, didn't you?

[valdrin]

Did you think I was exaggerating the point?

[socialgraces]

It does seem too good to be true.

[valdrin]

If you'd prefer, I could be too bad to be true.

[socialgraces]

Do what you will. I like you just the way you are.

[valdrin]

I noticed. [ cheeky fucker. ] I think I'm going to go get us something more to drink.

[socialgraces]

[ she chuckles and nods ] Please do.

[valdrin]

Do behave while I'm gone. [ he whispers to her as he departs ] Though not necessarily when I return. [ /peaces out so she can have depressing balcony convos ahahahahhaa
