after-party ♔ september

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 || September 6th, 2014, 6:00PM
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.

[nathan showed up in ... a leather jacket and a cosby sweater???? what???? (disguise 4) maybe he didn't feel like getting dressed fancy ok. also he is trying to teach his lemur barry how to hold a champagne glass. guess how that's going. just guess.

ALSO HE IS LOOKING FOR YOU ALISHA. THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE WORDS.]

[bittersweeter]

You brought the fucking monkey? [ she looks at it with utter distaste... but she's still talking to nathan anyway. idk. look at her taste in people, who is even surprised? ]

[autorevive]

I'm socializing him!

[bittersweeter]

He's not a baby, he's a monkey. [ nathan pls. ] I swear to god, if that thing makes that noise again I will throw him out a window.

[autorevive]

He's a lemur, and I already told him to be on his best behavior. [barry turns the champagne glass he's holding upside down and gets champagne on the table he's sitting on. that's his best behavior, apparently.]

[bittersweeter]

He's wasting alcohol.

[autorevive]

Eh, it's fiiiine. He shouldn't be drinking that stuff, anyway.

[bittersweeter]

How in the world did they let you be a knight? [ stop being charming. she edges her drink away from barry tho. ]

[autorevive]

Look at me! I'm the total package. Who wouldn't want me in their secret King Arthur circlejerk club?

[arrested]

[ No. Just no. This must be some sort of hallucination or something. She just stands there looking at him, accusing the very air in front of him. ]

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

[autorevive]

[there she is! he stops trying to train his lemur to be a human and actually turns to address her.]

ALISHA! How you been? You got in on this cushy knight gig too, eh?

[arrested]

[ It's almost enough to make her ignore the fact he's got a monkey. Almost. ]

So I guess they just take any old twat in here then. [ And here she was thinking there was some sort of skill involved. She'll also not be telling him that it's almost a relief to actually see someone she knows. No, fuck that. ]

And why the fuck have you got a monkey?

[autorevive]

Hey, immortal, remember? [he points at his face like ... that's a thing she could ever forget.] I'm a valuable asset! What are you gonna do on missions, distract blokes by making them want to piss on your tits?

[oh, right. the lemur.] That's Barry. I won him in Vegas in a game of craps.

[arrested]

[ her hand lifts, like jesus fuck stop talking Nathan ] You know what, forget I asked, right?

[ but actually, no, that hand gets a much better use as it firmly slaps him around the face. hah, she can do that now, surprise fucker. ]

Do you wanna say that again?

[autorevive]

[he just stares at her like wtf.] I — what? What the fuck? I don't want to piss on your tits! ... Am I gay? I just went over this!

[arrested]

You even try to go near my tits and I'll kick you so hard in the balls you won't walk for a week, yeah?

[ and sigh, REALLY, she has to explain this? ]

I've got a different power. You were there.

[autorevive]

Fine, fine! [he holds his hands up defensively.] Jesus! No touching.

[wait ... what????]

Uh, well, I don't remember shit, so you're gonna have to re-explain it to me.

[icouldbe_bess]

[ heels are really hard. alice hates them. she's currently stumbling her way around the room when she stops near nathan's table.

and addresses the lemur. ] Oh hello, fellow redhead.

[autorevive]

[for a moment nathan is like ARE YOU TALKING TO ME??? then he's like oh ... the lemur.

barry offers alice an empty champagne glass. very gentlemanlike.]

Oh, yeah, that's Barry. You can read his mind, right? Maybe you can ask him why he's such a twat all the time.

[icouldbe_bess]

[ that's so sweet, barry. alice takes it and then just puts it back on the table. ]

W-why would I be able to read his mind? [ she straightens slightly and then shrinks a few inches because yeah she just took her heels off, fuck that. ]

[autorevive]

Because you're both ginger! You can read each other's minds, yeah? [said like this is the most obvious thing on earth.]

[icouldbe_bess]

Yeah, and our freckles are marks of all the souls we've stolen. [ she has a lot of freckles. ] Besides the fact that, um, he's a lemur? Can telepaths read animal minds?

[ that'd be cool, actually... ] You sort of look alike, you two. [ she motions between nathan and barry. ] Fluffy.

[autorevive]

I dunno! If I did, I reckon I'd be a telepath, and I'd already know why he's such a twat.

[icouldbe_bess]

He seems sweet to me. [ can she pet him? handle animal 18 says yes. have some pets. ] He says it's because you're his soulmate. He's pulling your pigtails because he loves you.

[ yeah her bluff was a 4. she is not reading anything's mind. ]

[autorevive]

[his sense motive was ... higher than that. not by much, but still.] I knew that little bastard was up to something when he started trying to stick his tongue in my mouth.
