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 || June 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.

John Smith, that's a rubbish name. Boring as watching paint peel. Your parents not like you? [ wow ella. rude. it's the irish. ]

[twinfucker]

[He grimaces as his wis check of 18 catches up to him and he realizes that guns and cars and the like have probably replaced horses there too.]

...I suppose you wouldn't.

[flyingsolo]

Luckily, no one will make you come back to one if you don't want to.

[technophobic]

Of the Silver Dragon, or a Knight full stop?

[chessing]

[ if only he weren't so polite. he recognizes that he's been trapped here, aight. ] Passably, I hope. [ he offers her his elbow to lead her out to the floor. ]

[shootfirst]

Hey, look, I didn't mean it like you're a tool bag or whatever. It just seems dangerous, sending high school students into the field.

[shootfirst]

Maybe there's just more traffic through the Veil.

[valdrin]

Haven't you now? [ they don't really advertise all that much, other than when they appear together at squiring parties, so not that surprising at all. he nods across the room at francesca. ] The most beautiful woman in the room, of course. No offense.

[wynn]

Then it seems, perhaps, he's a man who wants to be honest about his dishonesty.

[theminotaur]

Yeah. [ it does calm abigail down a little, as well, shoulders relaxing as the walk. ] I'm not really social.

[sternshield]

With innocents on the island? Likely he will.

[theminotaur]

[ she is still wary, but that's her default state, and she shrugs a little in answer. ] I'm not really a party girl.

[theminotaur]

I think it's just desk duty and running food from the kitchen. So... way less medieval themed porno.

[theminotaur]

That's what I've heard. [ she should probably meet people and maybe once she's less skittish it will be easier, but rn? haha no. ]

[trebond]

You would perhaps have an easier time adjusting to this age if you made an attempt.

[flyingsolo]

Might just make people more curious about you and willing to stick their nose in your business if you turn yourself into a mystery, though.

[immuno]

Only one way to find out.

[ her hand loops around his arm and she moves out onto the floor with him, settling one hand onto his shoulder and moving to hold his other. she glides across the floor with practiced grace, and it becomes abruptly clear that she completely plans on leading, regardless of his talent. welcome to lydia martin. (dance 22). ]

[immuno]

[ o-oh. that snaps her jaw shut quickly, staggered by the lack of hesitation and how glowing that confidence is. she stares at him for a moment longer with slightly widened eyes before straightening and squaring her shoulders. she’s got this. don’t act like it matters. conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know. ]

I’m feeling a little weird that you’re asking me that. Do I look psychic to you?

[brokenteacup]

A mystery they won't be able to solve. No one here knows anything about me, what are they going to find out? [ she's actually a little curious about that -- what would they be able to find out if they didn't outright ask her? ]

[easily]

It might be. It's never fun to learn too much about a person too quickly.

[parsecs]

[Han rolls his eyes.] You go ahead and do that. I'm sure it'll get you real far.

[parsecs]

Veil's fun like that. Believe me, you got the better end of the bargain.

[mydesigns]

Why do you say that?

[bittersweeter]

I've been here for a year, if I didn't like it I would leave.

[ AND FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON LILA FEELS AN INEXPLICABLE TRILL OF PRIDE. HMMM. ]

[useagoodkiss]

[ She's still trying to process the fact that she has a brother when he advises her not to kiss said brother. ]

...I have a brother?

And why, precisely, do you feel the need to warn me against kissing him? Is this something I've done?
