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.

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.

[killingtodeath]

I will definitely try to stick around. And in case two months isn't enough time for me to know what to get you... Can I have a hint?

[bittersweeter]

I don't want presents. [ because she will return them and buy shit she actually wants anyway. she trusts no one else's taste but faye and sylar's. and sylar's is dubious, tbh, but her watch is phenomenal and she never takes it off so he gets a pass by default of lila being crazy in love. ]

[killingtodeath]

So what do you want?

[bittersweeter]

Nothing. [ shrug. she's so helpful. ]

[killingtodeath]

Okay but you actually mean nothing right? Not like 'nothing' where I am expected to psychically guess what you want most in the world and get it for you without any clues?

[bittersweeter]

Nothing nothing. I don't like presents, I always have to return them, it's a waste.

[killingtodeath]

I can dig it. Alright, so I'll just show up and bring the party. Got it.

[bittersweeter]

I haven't even invited you yet. I said stick around, maybe it just meant stick around so you can feel excluded.

[killingtodeath]

Well. I'm bringing the party regardless. It can be up to you if you're into that.

[bittersweeter]

Cute. You are cute.

[killingtodeath]

I get that a lot. [Lately. From people at this party. People that are played by people named Emma. This might be a pattern.]

[bittersweeter]

[ she squints. r u sure? she finds it endearing. ] Mhmm.

[killingtodeath]

And you're... Well, you're hot. And also a little scary. [honesty hour but he figures she's the type that appreciates it.]

[bittersweeter]

[ she sure does. ] Aww, thanks!

[killingtodeath]

Anytime. Really.

[bittersweeter]

I try my best.

[killingtodeath]

Anyway- I should go... mingle. Or something.

[bittersweeter]

Later gator. [ she waves like toodles. ]
