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.

Well, now you can meet up with your best friend at the castle pool tomorrow and learn how to not drown. Although, hopefully it's not an experience we'll have to repeat.

[graveflowers]

The way our luck goes...? [ really finnick. don't be an optimist. be a defeatist like vi. it's super fun. leaning against the bar she grabs another drink, a gin and tonic which she requests to have sans tonic. ]

[65]

[shrug.] I did say hopefully. [he gulps down the remainder of his current drink. what was it??? nobody fucking knows.]

[graveflowers]

[ siiiiiiigh. they're the worst at being upbeat. why do people keep thinking she's capable of this hope shit? ] So. Elena and Archer, yay or nay?

[65]

I'm trying to remain positive for them. Maybe she'll keep him in line. Or in an area vaguely near the line.

[graveflowers]

I think they're kind of adorable. And I'm down for anyone who jumps to keep her safe. [ shipping it. ]

[65]

Yeah, definitely. Archer's not all that bad. I'm still holding out hope that maybe I'll actually get to promote him one day.

[graveflowers]

Hopefully she won't be drowning next time he proves he can live up to his secret agent thing.

[65]

Elena was drowning when I first met her, too. Given, it was in a very shallow fountain ... but still. Seems to be a theme.

[graveflowers]

Kind of a sucky theme. Maybe she can doppelgäng into a mermaid one day. Save herself some trouble.

[65]

Have we established that mermaids are real, or are we just assuming?

[graveflowers]

Assuming. But elves are real. Doppelgängers are real. Spike is real. I feel like mermaids are not out of the realm of possibility. And if they are? Fuck that. I quit life.

[65]

I was just asking. [GEEZ VI HE DIDN'T MEAN TO DRIVE YOU TO SUICIDE. ordering more booze up in hurr. maybe some scotch.]

[graveflowers]

Undo the calamity that is your mammaries, bro. I'm not going to actually quit life over mermaids. [ a beat. ] Now unicorns... if that shit ain't real...

[ LITTLE DOES SHE KNOW THAT SHE HAS THE EXACT LOCATION OF A UNICORN. if des had told her that she would have been much less dismissive. ]

[65]

Aren't they just horses with horns?

[graveflowers]

No! They're ethereal creatures of pure magic and innocence impossible to tame by man! [ she is super into unicorns, okay. she is like a five year old at disney world into unicorns. ]

[65]

Oh right, and Voldemort drank one's blood or something ... [HE'S JUST MESSING WITH HER NOW. TOO EASY.]

[graveflowers]

Oh my gosh, how many times have I told you! Quirrel drank it's blood and-- you're such a dick. [ kicking u in the shins now! ]

[65]

[HE DODGES HER KICK. barely. but he does. (ref save 11)] He was possessed at the time! It's the same thing. And I am not.

[graveflowers]

[ she only just stops herself from launching into a full blown harry potter rant. he is so lucky. especially because he's probably heard it already before because she is a very thorough teacher when she takes on introducing someone to hp. ] You were winding me up on purpose!

[65]

Maybe a little bit.

[graveflowers]

Diiiiiiick. [ w/e she's laughing now. four for you. ]

[65]

[aw yeah.] You love me.

[graveflowers]

Ugh, I know, it's awful.

[65]

It's a terminal affliction, I'm afraid.
