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 guess I'm not an expert on parties.

[bowtimeandspace]

Yes. Well. I am! Self declared expert but trust me I'm just a dream.

[necessaryevil]

You should put that on a card.

[bowtimeandspace]

I might just do that! [ Really, he might. Don't give him ideas. ]

[necessaryevil]

Just don't feel like you have to work too hard to impress most people around here.

[bowtimeandspace]

[ he pulls a bit of a face; that sounds disappointing, less fun when there's no challenge ]

What, don't they get out much?

[necessaryevil]

Most of them go to the same party every month. For years in a row.

[bowtimeandspace]

Ah. Yes. I can see where that might be a bit... samey.

[necessaryevil]

Especially for those whose lifespans beat the average humans.

[bowtimeandspace]

And there are a few of those around here, I take it?

[necessaryevil]

More than a few.

[bowtimeandspace]

[ And this is a raise of his brow. ]

You know it seems this place is quite interesting.

[necessaryevil]

Starting to catch on, huh.

[bowtimeandspace]

Something like that, yeah. You know I think I might like it here.

[necessaryevil]

I take it you're a little left of normal yourself, then?

[bowtimeandspace]

What me? No, no I'm normal, perfectly normal. King of normal, that's me. Look normal up in the dictionary and there's a picture of me wearing an 'I am normal' tshirt.

[ and he crit failed that bluff, so well done, Doctor. ]

[necessaryevil]

You don't have to work so hard to convince anyone around here, you know.

[bowtimeandspace]

[ That earns a slight glance towards him, and a touch of a frown. ]

That depends who it is you're trying to convince.

[ Like himself. He's rubbish at convincing himself. ]

[necessaryevil]

Or what you're trying to convince them of?

[bowtimeandspace]

[ He laughs, a bit empty, before looking back towards him. ]

Ah now that's the question, isn't it? Tell you what, soon as I know the answer, I'll let you know.

[necessaryevil]

Yeah, alright. Deal.

[bowtimeandspace]

Deal it is.

[ He nods, brief, and lifts a hand, running it over his face before making a (very weak) excuse ]

I think I best be... be off. Things to do. Nibbles to eat.

[necessaryevil]

[ max just waves a hand as if to dismiss him, not bothering to respond, as he takes a drink ]
