after-party ♔ july
♬ 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!)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.
WHAT || Squiring Ceremony Afterparty
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || July 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.

[Frankie's grin suggests she may in fact remember that particular trip so she's a little more quietly amused than charmed (Will Save 21).]
Fran - Sir. Frankie Matera. [Offering her hand.] We're a little less formal where I'm from. Not quite so much with the Sirs and and little more Hey you.
no subject
[ A grin is still a win if you ask him. ]
I've been hey you before. But, mostly I go by Damon. That idiot brother. Dick even from people who really like me. I'd say you get used to the "sir" but what do I know.
no subject
You'd fit in well back home.
[Frankie's eyebrows raise as she listened, amusement still playing across her features as she takes a sip of her beer.]
That idiot brother? I already have three of those. [Bobbing her head.] I'll stick with Damon for now. I'll save Dick for if I decide I really like you or not.
[Another mouthful of beer.] So does that mean you left family back in the states?
no subject
[ He takes a sip of his own, keeping eye contact. She's pretty. Does she know that? ]
That means I left family on the other side of the veil. Back in my world. Not sure what else I left, the veil does that, too. Three brothers. What was it like living with them?
no subject
Oh wow - [Clearly not expecting that.] You're Shadowkind. [She doesn't appear to be bothered by it though.] I mean I know what the veil does we just - tend to see a different type of Shadowkind coming through in Australia.
[Another bob of her head at that question.] Loud. [Grin widening.] Especially when the whole family would get together and you've got four dozen cousins running around. [A beat.] Roman Catholic. In my family they seemed to think that when god said go forth and populate the earth he was speaking directly to them.
no subject
Fertile family. [ Eugh. ] That's a lot of cousins. [ And everyone. ] Something tells me I have very little family.
no subject
If there were they either got the hell out of dodge or went up with the Australian Summer.
[This is why Frankie doesn't date it seems. She needs to be hit around the head with a baseball bat to know what's up.]
Too many. [Shaking her head.] I'm reminded on a weekly basis that I'm letting down the family by not adding to their numbers. [Not even joking.] Oh? [Curious.] That must be... I don't know, strange I guess? Not knowing whether you do or don't. [A beat.] You're more than welcome to mine. Just tell my mother your last name is Salvatore and she'll love you forever.
no subject
Big on the Roman Catholic Italians, is she? [ He can see that. Maybe he'll eat her a little bit. Erase her memory. None the wiser. ] I know I have my brother. That's all.
no subject
[One day Damon, you too may be subjected to dealing with Mrs. M whole on front desk duty.]
You tried to find out if he's here as well? I don't think it's common but I've heard it can happen?
no subject
For now. ]
I just assumed he's not. [ Whoops. ]
no subject
Not to get your hopes up or anything cause, from what I hear? It's not all that common but at least worth looking into?
no subject
[ To get away from her. Obviously. In truth, he checks everyday, checks papers and news of sudden people appearing, checks the name Stefan Salvatore. If his brother touches down, he'll know. ]
Maybe. [ Bluff 11, long hair don't care? ]
no subject
Knights are a good place to be though. At least I think it is but eh, I've been with them for years so I'm probably biased on that front.
no subject
no subject
Oh they - [She shakes her head.] They think I have a very respectable job with The Karthur Institute. The cover story works well for families as well as the general public.
no subject
no subject
Yeah it's kinda my - [Grasping for a word.] Thing? [Holding out one hand.] Pit crew with a racing team - [Then the other.] - job with a fancy sounding company. Both would let me do what I love but one comes with less nagging.
no subject
Is it because your mother ran the pit crew?
no subject
Oh - god no. [All but snorting at the thought.] My mothers ideals went out of fashion in the fifties she just, missed the memo.
