after-party ♔ april

♬ Jeux d'eau - Ravel

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.

wynn ♔ (ota.)

[wynn]

[ get it gurls. 26 disguise check like a mothafucka ]

faith o'keefe ♔ (ota.)

[moonheart]

[ unlike last month, faith is done up to the nines in sexy fun club-wear tonight (disguise 23) - but with good reason. she bounces around the party with manic enthusiasm, handing out little slips of paper along the way:

COME TO THE AFTER-AFTER-PARTY

TO CELEBRATE THE BIRTHDAY OF THE MOST AWESOME AND RIGHTEOUS

ANDIE DODGE

BASICALLY THE COOLEST PERSON EVER

Meeting downtown after the squiring party (sooo like 11/11:30)
at the Silver Band dance club

Be ready to dance all night!!

she excitedly invites anyone and everyone from the younger crowd (aka under 30) to come out, but people from the older set are free to find abandoned fliers lying around.

feel free to tag her to rp out... being approached and having a flier shoved in your face. ]

Mars Dacey (OTA)

[charismapotion]

[ After the ceremony and a few minutes spared to run to his room and change.(gray t-shirt to be switched with a blue button up) (cha; 20) Mars made his way into the ball room. Looking around shocked, while a pretty black cat with bright orange eyes trailed behind him... with a little party hat on her head. Her master is a dork.

Once inside he just kind of stood there unsure what to do for now. Venus walking around his feet.]

[asap]

[WHAT IS EVEN.

GOING ON.

Andie actually finds a flier before Faith gets to her. PRESUMABLY FAITH WAS INTENDING TO GET TO HER EVENTUALLY. She waves the flier at Faith and raises an eyebrow.]

So uh, when were you planning on telling me about this?

[At least she's looking pretty hot with her disguise check of 18.]

[moonheart]

Uhhh... now? [ she grins with not a hint of apology in her eyes ] Surprise!

[wishuponadjinn]

[so. here is jordan. here is jordan being a shut-in and not knowing a good party when it hits him in the face with a flier. clearly he needs to be enticed to come out and party, or be doomed to be a shut-in for the rest of his days.]

alex karamazov | ota

[ambitionist]

[alex is keeping it simple and classy in his suit tonight ok. (disguise 19) currently he's just hanging around with his drink, observing his surroundings and looking kind of bored. it's just his default face. like lions.]

adam weiss | ota

[ex_psionic439]

[Adam's just sort of lounging. He didn't really bother to get all gussied up outside of taking off dat armor following the squiring ceremony (disguise 13). Instead, he managed to secure himself some choice seating for the purpose of people watching.

Or, not watching, if y'all don't turn out to be all that interesting. At least the drinks are free. I still have to upload this bitch's icons, so I apologize in advance.]

Sebastian Trevethor (OTA)

[opprobrium]

[ Sebastian only gets dolled up for Squire parties, mostly in case Wynn is around. He honestly didn't care what people thought.(disguise 17)

He was holding a drink off against a wall watching the party. Which is pretty much where he intends to stay until he goes to get a smoke later.]

[moonheart]

[ faith laughs when he just stands there staring at the flier ] Haven't you ever seen an invite before?

[wishuponadjinn]

[his head jerks up at that, cheeks staining a light red.]

More like I never get the chance to be invited, just...dragged along against my will... [mutter mutter grumble]

[bittersweeter]

[ with her disguise of 34, lila looks hella pretty as she swans up behind alex. ] I'm still waiting for you to actually explain this institute of yours...

[ SURPRISE BITCH ]

[asap]

[Andie glares at her for another half second before breaking into giggles and throwing her arms around Faith.]

Ok, that's pretty sweet. I'm in. [A beat.] Which is good, cause it'd be a pretty lame to have a birthday party without the birthday girl. Will there be food?

[moonheart]

Well, as long as your will says you're coming, we won't have that problem.

[ambitionist]

[let me help u with an actual gpoy of lila.

alex's expression, however, isn't one of surprise, but more like one of "seriously????" in fact ... ]

Seriously?

[bittersweeter]

[ she shrugs, cheerful. her life has been full of boyfriend, no one can rain on her parade tbh. ] Congrats, little newbie squire.

[ she grabs his tie and tugs him down so she doesn't need to lean so far to kiss his cheek. ]

[wishuponadjinn]

O-oh, uh I don't know about that... I'm not usually one to enjoy going out to clubs...

[s-so not liking this idea at all]

[ambitionist]

[aww, he'll lean down for her.] So, what, does that make you a knight?

[bittersweeter]

[ she snorts, shaking her head. ] No, it just makes me a squire longer. I've been here for a year and change.

[ambitionist]

Is that about how long the process takes?

[bittersweeter]

I've heard less. Eric's kind of a dick though so it'll be never for me. [ her shoulders lift in a shrug and she scratches at her scar absently. she doesn't seem too fussed tbh, but she's never been that ambitious so it doesn't bother her. ] I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, Alexander.

[ambitionist]

Alex. No one calls me Alexander. Ever.

[bittersweeter]

[ well now someone does. and her expression pm spells that out. sorry. ]

[ambitionist]

[oh lord. he can tell, too. fuck his life. he decides to change the subject by glancing around and observing] So, I see Eyebrows isn't around.

[bittersweeter]

Nope, he works in Chicago so. [ so technically he is still in london because it's not their anniversary yet, ha!, but aside from faye's birthday, lila keeps knights and boyfriend separate. ]
