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.

That's the most important part, right? Everyone seems pretty nice. Just... sad.

[killingtodeath]

That's not what I- [He gives a little sigh and shakes his head.] Yeah, we can go back inside if you want.

[immuno]

[ The last one of these they went to was together.

She sizes him up a moment, reflecting on it. Then again, the last time she was at a dance, she got mauled by an alpha werewolf, so she’s not looking to repeat the experience. ]

I wonder if these lose their novelty when they’re every month.

[ Turning on her heels, she heads back inside. ]

[bluffcheck]

I prefer the term 'pirate,' actually. I captain a ship, after all.

[flyingsolo]

Jaina Solo. You'll get used to them. They feel smaller once you start to know more people.

[mydesigns]

People used to worry about me. [well ... alana did. mostly alana. /cries about it good thing he doesn't know she's dead yet.] I guess that makes the both of us either very noble, or very foolish.

[flyingsolo]

Lucky me, I suppose.

[valdrin]

Oh, believe me. I intend to. [ and he'll wrap one hand around her waist to lead her that way ] Good seeing you, Helen.

[killingtodeath]

So what do you want?

[ironsides]

You've got at least one of each. [ he nods at the baby bump, and... smirks like I'M YOUR FRIEND NOW :) ]

[alwaysfaithful]

I suppose that's true.

[With that thought of dealing with crowds out of the way, Chris took a sip of his drink then turned to face Jaina, with a sudden realization.] I remember you, a little bit. You were there when I was... confused, I guess that's the best way to put it? You and some other knights were fighting a monster in California.

[Chris gave a sigh directed at nothing really.] I guess we'll be working together now.

[msattentionspan]

What're the other reasons?

[dragonsclaw]

None taken. There's strength to be taken in restraint, for some.

[consequence]

[Hayley laughs.] I suppose I do. Thank you, Dovan.

[shootfirst]

Then let's leave the L word out of the equation. [ and she'll use a clean spell on herself. all better. ]

[immuno]

Is this some religious thing? Because I never got that either.

[nepotism]

Mr. Tumnus hasn't shown himself yet.

[theminotaur]

He was only in one book before the Last Battle. He probably died two hundred years ago. [ bringing some elementary school realness rn. ]

[nepotism]

Well, that's...uplifting.

[fixyourproblem]

[He smiles seeing her laugh.] Well, I'm going to go back at my room, I don't feel at my best this night. Good luck with your preparation, sweetheart. I hope your friend will have a merry wedding party. [He says his goodbye and leaves.]

[theminotaur]

[ shrug. she is edmund, here to rain on your parade. because it's her parade and she can do that. ]

[killingtodeath]

Probably. [He responds, not following right away, looking out at the garden for an extra second instead, like it's got some answer that he's not even really looking for. Shaking his head to clear his mind, he turns and heads after her, half-jogging to catch up quickly.]

So about that dance? [Nothing says Stydia like ignoring any deep conversations and going right back to normal teenage interactions.]

[witchwoman]

Possibly both. [It's so strange to find someone who... gets it.]

[killingtodeath]

[How nice for her to be able to get clean :| ]

I was kidding. You know that right? I don't actually lo- [He stops himself and thinks about how much he values his life.] I don't actually feel that thing we aren't saying. For you. Because we just met. And I'm sure you're great, but you're kinda not my type.

[he doesn't really have a type. but you seem like a crazy person rn.]

[immuno]

[ oh, come on. fixing him with a disapproving stare, she holds the door to the ballroom open. ]

Okay, seriously?
