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 || April 1st, 2014, 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.

Lila. Andie's... [ she can't find her so she just waves her hand thataway. ] I don't know, over there somewhere. You're a few months early for my birthday. Who are you? I slept through your squiring so I didn't get all the gossip. Did you fall, flub the lines, I bet it was darling.

[ex_psionic439]

Adam. [Apparently mean girls were near and dear to his heart, because he's suddenly less focused on the crowd, and actually granting her his attention.]

And yeah, it was pretty bad. I mean, I practically faceplanted right in front of that Wynn guy. [Except he didn't. But he's good at selling it like it actually happened (bluff 18).]

[bittersweeter]

[ with her sense motive of 27, lila does not for a second believe him. ] Liar. But it was sweet of you to cater to the story I wanted, carry on, I'll pretend really hard that's what happened.

[ex_psionic439]

It would have made it a lot more interesting, that's for sure. [No really, that whole ceremony was ... pretty fucking lame you had to admit.]

Wait, do they even have White Castle restraurants in England? [Because that came up at some point, didn't it...?]

[bittersweeter]

No. [ she automatically pouts. ] But they have KFC and McDonalds and Burger King. And Nando's, which has the best chicken, ever.

[ex_psionic439]

[He doesn't look all that impressed when she name drops McDonald's, but then who would...]

I guess three out of four isn't too bad.

[bittersweeter]

Chinese food here is out of this world. Pizza sucks though. [ she's just giving him options now. and making herself hungry. ]

[ex_psionic439]

[Ding ding ding, we have a winner.]

I could go for some Chinese.

[bittersweeter]

Gimme your phone, I'll give you the numbers for the best ones. [ she makes a grabby motion with her hand after she sets her glass down before she tugs her phone out of her bra. (this dress has no pockets, okay, you work with what you have. ]

[ex_psionic439]

[See Adam dig that standard issue shit he was given when he signed up out from his pocket so he can hand it over because he sure as fuck chucked his own personal cell prior to being recruited.]

You can actually get them to deliver out here?

[bittersweeter]

These ones will. [ she quickly starts to transfer the numbers. ] There's an extra fee, but I'm pretty sure they realized this was a market they wanted to corner. And you can always sign out a car once you've been on a mission

[ex_psionic439]

Neat.

[He shouldn't be surprised by this. But then an opportunity presents itself to get an answer for something he's been wondering since he signed himself up for all of this.]

So what is it we're doing on these missions, anyway? I mean, I guess I was given a vague idea but you've probably been on a few by now, right?

[bittersweeter]

They're all kind of different. You could be shooting bears and minotaurs in the face on one, actually that was two separate events, and talking a megalomaniac politian out of blowing up the Shadowkind population of his city. [ she shrugs, tapping in a few more numbers before adding her own for good measure and handing it back. ] Faye went on a mission with a ghost!

[ex_psionic439]

[Faye? Sounds like a ninety year old grandmother js. But really it's the only thing that registers rn because all of that shit she just said seems so ... well, fucking nuts tbh.]

You mean like her partner was a ghost? Or was she shooting that in the face, too?

[bittersweeter]

More like a fireball to the face, but yeah, the latter. I don't think there's any ghost knights. Just vampires. [ her nose wrinkles because EW DAVIN. she's just annoyed about that vampire in principle because he is rose's friend and she kind of wants to cuntpunch rose for existing. ]

[ex_psionic439]

I'll have to remember not to piss off Faye. [Which was clearly the most important part of what she just said.

But wow, he doesn't even know any vampires and he's already against the idea. And apparently he's in good company.]

So who's a vampire?

[bittersweeter]

Some douche from Chicago. Devon, Davin, Derek, Davon? I don't remember, nor do I particularly care. [ she is made of not give a fuck tbh. ] All I know is we brought his undead ass back with us and he got squired, but it haven't seen him around since so he probably peaced out somewhere. Good riddance.

[ LITTLE DOES SHE KNOW HIS ANNOYING ASS WILL BE BACK. ]

[ex_psionic439]

[FUCK, I will have to go edit my reply to that thread now because Adam just put two and two together re: said douche. But thanks for the heads up.]

And why did you bring him back again? [Because it sounds like you actively recruited this fucker, boo.]

[bittersweeter]

Because no one listened to my idea of "let's kill him".

[ex_psionic439]

Well that makes sense. [He's going to need another drink, because he's finishing the contents of his current glass.]

So what else is there to look forward to around here? You know, in addition to potentially having my throat ripped out so a vampire can use me like a Capri Sun.

[bittersweeter]

Lovely visual. Um, I dunno. Elves and shit. Christos is a dick, the Fabio blond one seemed kind of chill the one time I met him though. Koraith is pretty much gold. Like... gold. Dovan is a dwarf. Some very middle earth shit up in here. Goblins and dragons and octopus faces, oh my.

[ex_psionic439]

Gross. [Octopus faces, at least. He barely understood the rest. Who the fuck are these people even.]

[bittersweeter]

Right? It was all twitchy, too. [ she makes a face. looks like she knew which part he was ew-ing at. (wis 15) ] Dragons are cool though. Super evil, I guess, but adorable when they're babies.

[ex_psionic439]

[Was he really having this conversation tho...]

This place is so fucked up.

[bittersweeter]

Yeah. [ she will drink to that. except... no drinks. ] Hold on, I'll get us more. [ before he can answer she's up and heading for the bar, weee. BRB BOO. ]
