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.

You wanna try that one again?

[ she doesn't need a +16 sense motive to know that's a lie. ]

[nothingsodivine]

I'm a PI that Wynn happens to be paying really well to do things he doesn't have to fill out complicated reports about.

[Grin.]

[uncurse]

Does Wynn actually fill out complicated reports? He doesn't report to anyone. [ which is sketchy, for the record. ]

[nothingsodivine]

I'm sure he does it just for the hell of it. Just endless streams of paperwork about brotherhood and chivalry.

[Being in the castle makes Des's irrational feelings about the Knighthood just... flare up. You should get that checked, boy.]

[uncurse]

Concepts I'm sure a PI wouldn't understand. Let me guess: you do better on your own.

[ WHO DOES THAT SOUND LIKE. ]

[nothingsodivine]

Aww. It's like you know me, precious.

[uncurse]

I know your type; that's enough.

[ scowly scowl scowl. ]

And I know that sooner or later, "on your own" gets old.

[nothingsodivine]

So people have been telling me.

[He has been grabbing champagne flutes at this party like a champ. It's like he drinks when people say things to upset him.. and/or weird him out. Thanks, Hook.]

Is this gonna be a sales pitch? I've heard about ten tonight. The mafia princess was a nice touch.

[uncurse]

Her name's Lila. [ with an implied 'you dick' on the end. ] And, no. I know well enough that you've gotta come around to it on your own. And nothing I've seen makes me hope that you do.

[nothingsodivine]

That only took two minutes. I must be getting better at this abrasive thing.[He chugs his champagne.] I've got my reasons. Bet you did too, at one point.

[uncurse]

Still do. I just grew up and realized that there are no good reasons for that crap.

[nothingsodivine]

Aren't there?

[He waves a hand dismissively.] It's a drifter thing, anyway.

[uncurse]

Yeah, sure. Extenuating circumstances - no one but you would understand your reasons. I've heard it before.

[nothingsodivine]

No one but me would understand the reasons. [Totally innocent.] And for your information, I'm a walking extenuating circumstance.

[uncurse]

[ this is the face of someone calling bullshit. ]

[nothingsodivine]

What? Do you need it in neon lights? I'm complicated.

[uncurse]

Well, do us both a favor and find somewhere else to be "complicated."

[nothingsodivine]

I'm gonna assume you mean this little section of the castle and not the entire castle, because I'm pretty much stuck here.

[Also notice he isn't moving. YOU CAN'T TELL HIM... what he has to do.]

[uncurse]

[ emma's less stubborn than she is ready to end this conversation. so she tightens her lips into a snide smile, arches her eyebrows, and steps around him to walk away when it becomes clear that he's not budging. ]
