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.

[ sob he is sam. ]

Lila. [ lowering the phone, she taps it a couple times to send it to faye and astrid. WHY HAVE YOU BOTH FORSAKEN HER. and alex left with that little shy girl. she's so bored and alone. /lays down. she pushes her hair back over her shoulder with one gloved hand before she drops the phone in her pocket. her dress has pockets! ] What's yours?

[killingtodeath]

Stiles. [Stepping closer, he almost notices a scar there but gets distracted by her neckline so it's just a fleeting glance (spot 12). He'll come back to paying attention later. Maybe.] Stiles Stilinski.

[bittersweeter]

Cute. Kind of weird, but cute. Sounds Polish.

[killingtodeath]

You know your weird ass surnames. Guilty as charged.

[bittersweeter]

It ends with -ski, it's not that hard. [ she's just saying. ]

[killingtodeath]

True, but you're the first person to point it out so eloquently.

[bittersweeter]

I'm good with languages. [ and her tongue. (cha 20 total) she doesn't even want him, she just wants him to want her. ]

[killingtodeath]

[LILA WAS THAT REALLY NECSSARY (will 4)]

Uh... Seems like it. So which ones do you know?

[bittersweeter]

[ always. ]

French, Russian, and German. I'm learning Italian. Maybe Romanian. All the Romance languages.

[killingtodeath]

[He's got a thing for smart girls who are out of his league so... this makes sense.]

I never really thought German was romantic. It just sounds... angry.

[bittersweeter]

German isn't. Neither is Russian actually, but French and Italian are, so is Romanian.

[killingtodeath]

So is that your thing here? Walking Rosetta stone? I mean it sounds super useful. Especially considering I woke up in South America and only knew how to ask where the library was.

[bittersweeter]

Donde esta la biblioteca? [ yeah, she watches community, dwi. ]

[killingtodeath]

Si. [He grins.] Argentina's really pretty though. And they have great libraries.

[bittersweeter]

Maybe I'll go there one day. [ /adds to her list. ] But yeah, I talk, that's my thing.

[killingtodeath]

You seem pretty good at it. So, uh- want to dance or something?

[bittersweeter]

[ snort. ] Oh, I was pretty sure you were having a seizure earlier so... I'm going to pass.

[killingtodeath]

And here I thought I was here to learn. Maybe I just need the right person to teach me?

[He's turning on that boyish charm over here to be convincing (diplomacy 26)]

[bittersweeter]

[ she is not swayed by this charm of his... but she gives in anyway because she has zero tolerance for tall, adorable dumbasses. maybe it's just positive reinforcement. a for effort or something. reality is that she's bored without faye so she sets her glass down and shrugs. ] Okay, fine, why the fuck not.

[killingtodeath]

[The grin he flashes her is shameless and also still adorable. Jerking his head to gesture her to follow him, Stiles heads back out for the dance floor. He promptly proves that he's not a complete spaz and turns to face her, pulling off some smooth moves like he was born to dance (perform dance.. nat 20..???)]

So how long have you been here? [Dancing AND talking at the same time? He's an overachiever right now.]

[bittersweeter]

A year and change. [ she's not as banging at the dance moves as him, but she ain't bad. (dance 16) plus she's super pretty. she should get points for being super pretty. ]

[killingtodeath]

[Uhm she gets all the points for being super pretty. And talking to him. Double points for that, actually.]

Do you like it?

[bittersweeter]

I don't hate it. [ she does like it, but. you know. whatever. ]

[killingtodeath]

Wow, aren't you just the welcome wagon we've all been waiting for. That bad, huh?

[bittersweeter]

I've been here for a year, if I didn't like it I would leave.

[ AND FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON LILA FEELS AN INEXPLICABLE TRILL OF PRIDE. HMMM. ]
