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.

He is. Finnick Odair. He's probably around here with his beautiful, perfect girlfriend. Who is my other bestie. [ she looks around... oh! (spot 13) she points out myri's gorgeous mane of hair. ] There she is, that's Myri.

[killingtodeath]

[Following her pointing, Stiles spots both of them.]

You have really attractive friends. Not sure if you knew that.

[graveflowers]

Yep. [ she nods. ] I am so aware.

[killingtodeath]

[He manages to drag his gaze away from Finnick's striking jawline long enough to continue talking (will 18).]

You sure you want to add me in the mix? I may bring your average down. [Jokes! But... no really there are some self esteem issues still lingering there. Teenager.]

[graveflowers]

Not even a chance, kid. You're adorable. All tall and um, fit. [ she doesn't know how to describe him as cute without getting all statutory rapey and that's hella gross. ]

[killingtodeath]

[Grinning like an idiot.]

Okay fine. I'm here to keep you with an above average rating.

[graveflowers]

Good. [ a beat. ] 'cause I wasn't going to give you much of a choice anyway.

[killingtodeath]

Do you often take friends by force? Should I be concerned?

[graveflowers]

Yes. [ she nods slowly, affecting a serious face. ] That's pretty much how I get friends across the board. [ MOST ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF FRIENDSHIP. ] That's basically how I got engaged, not gonna lie. I just bugged him until he gave up and said yes.

[ really vi??? really??? IS THAT REALLY HOW IT HAPPENED? ]

[killingtodeath]

I really doubt you had to ask more than once. Like... unless he didn't hear you. That is literally the only reason someone wouldn't say yes. Hell, I would say yes right now. Ask me. No, wait. You don't have to. The answer is already yes.

[graveflowers]

[ snort. ] You are the cutest thing I have ever met.

[killingtodeath]

I bet you say that to all the squires.

[graveflowers]

Well... yeah. [ SHE IS VERY SHALLOW SORRY. ] But you are kind of spectacularly adorable.

[killingtodeath]

And you are generous with your adjectives. But I like it.

[graveflowers]

I aim to please. It's part of my act for welcoming committee, but spoilers, I'm only welcoming you.

[killingtodeath]

I'm touched. [No but awwww] I feel like this is the start of a beautiful friendship.

[graveflowers]

I'm sure it is. [ she grins. ] Now, you. [ she steps behind stiles to put her hands on his shoulders, standing on her tiptoes to rest her chin on his shoulders because what personal space. ] Go make some more friends. [ she gives him a tiny shove. ] Be free, shrimp. Go be beautiful.

[ she gives amazing pep talks js. ]

[killingtodeath]

[He laughs as he stumbles forward at her shoving.]

Alright, alright. But I'm finding you later. Take it easy, Violet. [And with a wave, he disappears into the crowd.]
