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.

Okay! A little warning next time might be nice. So... what were you going to show me out here anyway?

[killingtodeath]

Maybe. I dunno. Been trying not to think about it, really. [As definitely evidenced by him bringing it up out of nowhere.]

Anyway. You. Me. Lacrosse. I'm serious, dude.

[killingtodeath]

Everyone here is looking for something, trying to make something make sense. They don't get anything and that's what they want to fix. [One day, she might learn to just accept when he tries to say something nice. Probably not.]

[killingtodeath]

I get that a lot. [Lately. From people at this party. People that are played by people named Emma. This might be a pattern.]

[killingtodeath]

That's... Wow. Makes you realize that this knight thing is really serious.

[killingtodeath]

I bet you say that to all the squires.

[ex_defenestratings377]

Sort of.

[bluffcheck]

Aye. Well- not me. My last squire, though. Goes by Killian. [No, he's serious.]

[witchwoman]

It is. You're the closest I've found since I've joined the knights. It's... I'm glad you've decided to join us, Will.

[ex_noble101]

[Well, time to fix that. He holds his arm out for her. No time like the present tbh.]

Allow me the honor?

[asuma]

And how's that? [Still in the dark over here.]

[graveflowers]

Well... yeah. [ SHE IS VERY SHALLOW SORRY. ] But you are kind of spectacularly adorable.

[asuma]

[At least she's perceptive. For whatever that's worth.]

As I'm quite certain you understand, this isn't your typical situation as reflected on any number of daytime talk shows. So you'll forgive me if I appear skeptical.

[ex_ric243]

I don't typically go out of my way to offer tours, so I wouldn't know.

[ironsides]

No need to thank me, dear. Now go enjoy yer party.

[flyingsolo]

That's what the training room is for. Has anyone shown it to you yet?

[nepotism]

That still seems pretty rough, isn't it?

[immuno]

Except us.

[ Just making sure she's understanding right. She finds the whole thing pretty dubious, but she's humoring him while they spin. ]

[asap]

Dancing and eating? [There is no judgment in her tone. That's awesome.]

[theminotaur]

That's sort of just being a girl. In general. [ god forbid you like lipstick. ]

[easily]

I somehow doubt there's a lot of women as pregnant as she is running around here.

[beatemup]

Stealth and good aim, huh? So you're a rogue?

i missed this one in my tag bomb oops

[killingtodeath]

Sounds like you've got experience here. Any colorful insults you think might be especially effective- just in case?

[msattentionspan]

[Oh. Right. She would've guessed that, but she's not entirely smart with her intelligence of ten.]

So, you call in the big guns - so to speak, and get lucky that there are big guns to call on.

[daredtobelieve]

"I didn't say that either." But her smile gives away the truth behind it. He's not at all bad to look at. "You are easy to spot in a crowd, though. Might make it easier to steal you for a few more dances over time."
