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'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. ]

[killingtodeath]

[I laughed when I saw this come in and I laughed again. ilu.]

So can I assume you're just always this enthused about life?

[bittersweeter]

Yup. [ she is made of fucklessness. though this is a lie, she sure seems like it when no one she gives a fuck about it is around. faye and astrid are off with emma, hook is annoying as fuck lately, sylar is in chicago. alex is with his new friend. the castle sucks atm. ]

[killingtodeath]

At least it's not just me.

[bittersweeter]

Everyone here is one of fifty shades of morose, shouldn't you just be happy I took pity on you and decided to dance with your scrawny ass?

[killingtodeath]

When every dance you get is a pity dance, you start to take them for granted, I guess. [He gives a lazy shrug of his shoulders and flashes her a smile to show that he's kidding.]

Nah, it's fine. I'm just wondering how well I'm going to fit in if everyone's around here dragging ass all the time.

[bittersweeter]

It's not like this all the time. [ /flashbacks to andie's birthday. ] And my birthday is in two months, so you should stick around for that.
