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.

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.

[graveflowers]

Eww. [ yep she is going to keep half-heartedly complaining and making disgusted faces like this is the worst thing in all of creation, ew gross why did she get stuck with finnick as a best friend. oh woe. oh the torture. ] So there is a party at a club later that I'm ninety... two percent sure won't be crashed by death and danger and Des tonguing strangers. Care to join me in a socially acceptable place to get completely hammered?

[65]

[shrug. if it keeps vi's spirits up, he's for it.] I suppose I can make an appearance.

[graveflowers]

Good. Felicity invited me and I miss her so I didn't want to say no, but I kind of wanted to say no. [ he's her hero, tbh. ]

[65]

We don't have to stay that long. Just pop in, grab a few drinks, then leave.

[graveflowers]

Yes, sounds good to me. [ she leans against him. ] Thanks.

[65]

No problem. [he reaches over to tug at her hair a little bit. too lazy to ruffle tbh.]

[graveflowers]

Okay, I'm going to go use my feminine wiles and general adorableness to make Luthir dance with me. [ she stretches up on her tiptoes to kiss his cheek. ] Please make a valiant attempt to enjoy yourself in my absence.

[65]

I'll do my best. [this is his best rn pretty much.] Have fun.

[graveflowers]

I'll do my best. [ haha so clever. she meanders off with a little wave. ]
