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.

Maybe I'm shallow, but I don't exactly mind the chance to see everyone in their finery.

[killmypatience]

[there's a small smirk at that.]

It's like getting to see another side of them. I can see the appeal.

[druidisms]

Don't mind seeing the finery on the floor either. [ /aggressively stares at alex. js. ]

[killmypatience]

[She doesn't even really need a spot check to notice that but she notices anyway (spot 20 total). She can appreciate the view however. Not a bad choice, Gus.]

Don't let me keep you.

[Mostly teasing.]

[druidisms]

Nah, I can wait. Anticipation. [ he shrugs before giving kate more of his attention. ] So how are things?

[killmypatience]

So far so good.

[Because this is before everything turns into an awful catastrophe.]

I hear there's a wedding coming up.

[druidisms]

Apparently. My kid sister knows the bride. And the groom is... [ idefk he points luthir out. vi is at the party so he is probably there too, shh. ] That guy.

[killmypatience]

[She follows his pointing finger and raises her eyebrows.]

Lucky girl.

[druidisms]

He does have... a certain appeal. If you're into sickeningly handsome and people with better hair.

[killmypatience]

[She makes a face like she's considering it.]

You're right, that is a deal breaker. I should always have the better hair in the relationship.

[Which is SORT OF HILARIOUS but she has no idea why.]

[druidisms]

[ snort. ] Oh, honey, that's not going to be hard. [ YOUR HAIR IS FLAW FREE BASICALLY????? ]

[killmypatience]

[She laughs, before giving a bit of a hair flip over her shoulder.]

I work hard to maintain high standards.

[druidisms]

[ haha that's adorable. ] I can see that. Best not to work too hard though. Leave time for some play. [ and yeah, he's gonna go get some now. he reaches up to squeeze her shoulder gently. ] It was nice to meet you and your hair, Kate. If you'll excuse me...

[killmypatience]

[She nods in agreement.]

See you around, Harrison.

[And with that she'll wander off to chat with someone else.]
