after-party ♔ june



Jeux d'eau - Ravel

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.

All the time. [her smile is sad.] There are way to control it, though.

How? [SO IMMENSELY CURIOUS.]

Practice. Determination. [constant torture /unsure]

That's never helped me very much. [MAYBE TORTURE WOULD. we just don't know.]

What's it like for you? How does it feel?

The things I see, what I learn when I'm looking at a crime scene, it touches everything else in my mind. I can't block or repress any of it, can't … build some sort of mental barrier between what's me and what's the criminal. I just soak everything up like a sponge. It's … frightening.

[Well, that's certainly different. Myri seems to be thinking very intently on it.]

It's not quite the same for me. But it sounds just as overwhelming. The work you do must be important to you for you to continue to face it, despite the terror it can bring.

I liked — like — knowing that I was saving lives. Other people were able to rest easy because of me. Were still alive because I caught what was after them.

[Despite everything, Myri smiles.]

We're not so different, really. My friends sometimes worry about my healing, because I can lose myself in it, nearly hurt myself because of it. But I have the ability to keep them safe. I couldn't imagine doing anything else.

People used to worry about me. [well ... alana did. mostly alana. /cries about it good thing he doesn't know she's dead yet.] I guess that makes the both of us either very noble, or very foolish.

[personal profile] witchwoman 2014-07-15 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Possibly both. [It's so strange to find someone who... gets it.]

It's good to meet someone who understands. Or at least ... sort of understands.

[personal profile] witchwoman 2014-07-19 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
It is. You're the closest I've found since I've joined the knights. It's... I'm glad you've decided to join us, Will.

I'm glad that I did, too.

I could try to help you, you know. To control the things you feel. I won't claim to be an expert, but... Maybe working together, we could both learn more control over these gifts.

Um ... [he's antsy about what that could mean i.e. how much sharing it could involve, but ...] I would be willing to try.
witchwoman: (pic#7510590)

[personal profile] witchwoman 2014-07-22 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Myri nods, not at all offended by his hesitation.]

We don't need to rush into it. I'll understand if you want to settle in.
mydesigns: (pic#7880176)

[personal profile] mydesigns 2014-07-24 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
[he just nods.] I'm sure we'll be seeing each other around.

[personal profile] witchwoman 2014-07-25 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Without a doubt. I'm a member of the Dragon's Light, so you can usually find me lingering in that wing, just in case anyone comes by for any healing.
mydesigns: (pic#8006661)

[personal profile] mydesigns 2014-07-28 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
I'll remember that.

[personal profile] witchwoman 2014-07-29 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods, quiet and thoughtful, comfortable to let silence stretch between them. They came to get away from the noise, after all.]
