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.

[That's one way to lighten the mood. Aedan doesn't seem all too bothered by the name. If anything, his amused smile is back.] There's one I've never heard before.

[He'll be taking her hand and with his nat 20 dance check, she's gettin' one swept off her feet. Hope she was prepared to show all these other bitches up because he's about to twirl her ass into position like a fucking professional.

It must be a slow song tbh because I can't see him dancing to modern era shit like in any way that isn't a hot clusterfuck white boy mess.]

[graveflowers]

[ damn son. at least her check was 16 so she doesn't look like a helpless flamingo next to him, but it's clear who is carrying this duo, okay, and it's ain't vi. ]

So, were you a famous ballroom dancer before you joined up or is that just incidental to being deliciously attractive?

[ex_noble101]

[She really needed to stop stroking his ego, it was big enough already.]

I saw it on T.V., actually.

[graveflowers]

[ finnick odair is her bestie, she is an ego stroking professional. ] Have you been watching Dancing with the Stars...?

[ex_noble101]

I may have caught it once or twice. [Don't hate. It was all in the name of research.]

I've found that television doesn't really appeal to me. It's actually sort of ridiculous, in fact. [Once that initial awe-value has worn off, anyway.]

[graveflowers]

[ g a s p. ] God, I love tv. Have you seen Harry Potter? It's on ABC family... all the time.

[ex_noble101]

I don't recall having watched that one, no. [Mages were kind of old hat for him. He's seen better special effects in real life, up close and personal. Sorry, Harry.] I didn't realize television was such a passion of yours. [Probably because you didn't really know her beyond flirting back and forth js.]

[graveflowers]

I have ADHD so I always have the tv to calm my brain down in order to do... anything else. You get kind of fond of it.

[ex_noble101]

ADHD? [Your acronyms are confusing him he's an alien remember.]

[graveflowers]

Uh, attention deficit disorder? I can't pay attention past a second. I'm that kid that could never stay still or stop talking. You know my tendency to babble? Yeeeeah, that's it.

[ex_noble101]

[He just smiles. He didn't realize that there was an actual term for people who babbled.]

I think it's charming.

[graveflowers]

You're a weirdo. You know nothing of the real world, darling. [ so your opinion doesn't matter, i guess? whoops. ] Speaking of, have you learned to use the phone while I've been gone?

[ex_noble101]

I did, in fact.

[I guess that's his cue to grab his phone and pull up candy crush, which he then holds up to her like a puppy who just fetched their master a ball like "see? :DDD???" Thx, Astrid.]

[graveflowers]

[ she grins, ever so impressed. ] I'm glad you're making headway. What level are you on?

[ex_noble101]

Thirty three? [He glances at the screen as if it holds the answer idek but he doesn't actually play often and he kind of sucks at it so that is like his progress over two months.] I think.

[graveflowers]

A for effort at least. [ not that she's much further for having played it for almost a year. ] Proud of you, you're like Pinocchio.

[ex_noble101]

Like who? [And just like that--all that progress, right out the window.]

[graveflowers]

[ oh her precious baby. her expression basically screams that. her poor lamb. ] Oh honey. Don't worry, I'm back now, we can continue your education.

[ disney movies, man, it's how she started with finnick. she ain't leaving this shit up to anyone else. CLEARLY THEY FAILED. ]

[ex_noble101]

[That'll earn her a smile.] I'd like that very much.

[And a fancy twirl. She's gettin' one of those too (perform dance: 14).]

[graveflowers]

Yay! [ and then she trails off into giggles when he twirls her because she's that kind of gal. ]

[ex_noble101]

[Bitches love to twirl. Shit is tried and true.

But ~all good things must come to an end~ and soon that song is over.]

I'll have to think of some way I can repay you.

[graveflowers]

I like ponies. And candy. [ so a trojan horse full o' sugar would be swell tbh. ]

[ex_noble101]

[Aedan clearly hasn't delved that far back into earth history, so he's thinking more an actual horse saddled with an asston of candy or something. It's not nearly as functional as her version.]

Well, that's a start.

[graveflowers]

[ as long as it has the candy, she's not going to complain. in fact she gives him a smile for his trouble. ] Oh! There is Felicity! I gotta go. [ and with not another word she peaces right the fuck out to tackle hug her bestie. later dude. ]
