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.

No, I’m getting squired for a third time. It’s like baptism, right?

[ she tilts her head, deliberately looking as air-headed as she can. the expression is punctuated by a roll of her eyes and she moves around him for the drinks table, pouring herself more punch. ]

Like I’d be here if I wasn’t. That’s what this party’s for.

[Han rolls his eyes. Attitude. Like he needs that.]

Cool it, sister. It ain't like everyone here's been squired this month. I know I wasn't.

[immuno]

Yes, I'm sure you were squired like ten years ago, around the last time you showered. [ seriously you're wearing grease stains to a formal. ] Do you want something?

[parsecs]

Don't get me started on the showers in this world. Can't believe they all use water. [Seriously, why has no one invented sonic showers?] I'm just here for the drinks.

[immuno]

And suddenly it all makes sense.

[ you are disgusting omg. she steps out of the way of the refreshments table. ] Be my guest.

[parsecs]

[He glances over at her as he grabs some whiskey and pours some into a glass.] Where I come from, we've got sonic showers. Much more efficient when you're in space for months at a time.

[immuno]

Well, we're not in space, and efficiency doesn't preclude comfort. I'd rather have a bubble bath.

[parsecs]

No one's stopping you. [Han rolls his eyes.] I'd rather be in space.

[immuno]

Then, maybe instead of showing up underdressed to a party, you should be working on cobbling together a spaceship.

[parsecs]

Who says I'm not? Maybe I just didn't feel like getting changed when I stopped by?

[immuno]

Then, that's a good reason for someone to speak to Wynn about hiring a door-man. [ to stop trash at the door and tell them to go change omg. ]

[parsecs]

[Han rolls his eyes.] You go ahead and do that. I'm sure it'll get you real far.
