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.

Not everyone is like you. Being different is dangerous. [ and abigail is practical. ] Sorry.

[ambitionist]

Excuse you, miss martyr, I'm different, too. I know.

[hisgoldenticket]

Perception is the only weapon I have.

[ambitionist]

[he shrugs, realizing he should go easy on her.] You wanted to be normal. To pass. I get it.

[hisgoldenticket]

When I first got here, I just wanted to go home even though I had nowhere to go because I'd still have Will. But... I don't. He doesn't know anything that happened and I can't tell him because he doesn't even know enough for it to make sense. [ her shoulders sag. she keeps spilling her guts all over alex, but it's so easy and he keeps listening. ]

[ambitionist]

Sorry, kid. [he scratches at the back of his head.] That's rough. There's not really anything you can do for Veil memory loss, either. Like, if it was a psion or some kind of spell, there are fixes for that, but it's Veil shit, he's fucked.

[theminotaur]

[ slump. ] Yeah. [ mrr, she wants lemon again. ] I'm going to go to bed.

[ambitionist]

You sure? It's kinda early to call it a night.

[theminotaur]

Yeah. I'm not any good at this.

[ambitionist]

Suit yourself. [shrug.] It's just a party. Your party, even.

[theminotaur]

It can be their party. [ she pushes to her feet, leaving her plate of food relatively untouched. (it might be people.) ] ...unless you want to watch more 24?

[ambitionist]

[he has such a hard time telling her no.] You know what? Sure. I only came around because I figured it might be your squiring today.

[theminotaur]

[ she perks up a little. do you know how long it has been since someone has done something just for her???? months. ] Really? You came for me?

[ambitionist]

Well, it wasn't for the other company. [i.e. look at everyone carrying on like they're at a funeral or some shit. he wasn't counting on getting much if any tail.]

[theminotaur]

[ look she is not going to be like lol don't you want to hang out with your other friends. she glances over at will because she's not sure how their strange relationship works when she doesn't need to be signed out of her home like a library book, but he's talking to some lady so... she looks back at alex. ] Okay.

[ambitionist]

Let's do it, then. [smiiile. AND THEN THEY WENT TO WATCH SOME MORE 24???]

[theminotaur]

[ yay! another bad couple of hours for jack bauer! ]
