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.

I'd prefer um-bongo. [They drink it in the congo, you know.

He offers her a small smile.]

Don't suppose they've got any?

[killmypatience]

[Kate would try and answer that question but she has no idea what that is (knowledge 6). She frowns politely before shaking her head.]

I don't know. But you could check at the bar?

[bowtimeandspace]

Doesn't tend to be the sort of thing bars tend to carry. [ And doesn't he look distraught by that fact. Really, nobody knows his struggles. ]

Still, more fro everybody else.

[killmypatience]

[There, there, Doctor. One day Wynn will recognize your juice preferences and cater to them equally.]

I'm sure they appreciate your generosity.

[bowtimeandspace]

Oh yes well I'm an everyday Mother Teresa, me. Except the habit. Not really my colour.

[killmypatience]

Not everyone can pull off the habit. It was her signature look.

[bowtimeandspace]

Yes! And always a good idea that, a signature look! Always did try for one myself. Causes much less issue when wandering around M&S too.

[killmypatience]

Because you always know what you're looking for?

[bowtimeandspace]

Exactly! Always helps to narrow it down, don't you think?

[killmypatience]

[She nods in agreement.]

No wasting time. In, out, done.

[bowtimeandspace]

Oh no, no you should always waste time. Especially when you haven't got any. You never know what might happen.

[killmypatience]

Oh really?

[she pauses as she takes another sip of her drink.]

So what's the best surprise you've gotten while wasting time?

[bowtimeandspace]

He thinks about that for a long moment, really thinks.

Well I mean how long have you got? It would be quite the extensive list. Perhaps accompanied with some charts.

[killmypatience]

Charts?

[She raises her eyebrows curiously.]

Why don't you just give me your top five?

[bowtimeandspace]

[ He thinks, long and hard, but somewhere in there he's brushing it off. There are so many stories, but they're in his past. They're the Doctor's stories, not John Smith. He deflates, just slightly. ]

Oh nothing important.

[killmypatience]

[She raises an eyebrow a bit at that.]

All that talk, and you're going to leave me hanging?

[bowtimeandspace]

Well no. Though I suppose yes... [ He pulls a bit of a face. ] That's quite rubbish, isn't it? Don't really want to be rubbish.

[ But it's a bit of a problem, given he's trying not to be himself any more. He's not really got enough lies ready for John Smith ]

[killmypatience]

[She smiles a bit before shaking her head.]

That's okay. Maybe another time.
