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.

[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.

[arrested]

[ while she'd utterly love to (read wouldn't) tell him the story, she can't actually remember most of it, and that's all a bit weird, so she just acts impatient and dismisses it. ]

It's not my fault you don't remember you were stupid enough to sell your power for nothing. We all sold them, got new ones.

[ and that's about as far as it goes on the whole memory thing. ]

[autorevive]

I'm still immortal! I should know, some psychopath around here keeps killing me just to see "what'll happen." [he rolls his eyes. fuck that wanker tbh.] So what'd you get instead? Flight? X-ray vision? Turning your fanny into a bear trap at will?

[arrested]

But that doesn't make-- actually, you know what, fuck it, nothing around here makes sense, so why should it start now, right?

[ he gets another look, really why is she even here talking to this dick. ]

I can see through people's eyes. Like see what they're doing. Where they are. You know all clairvoyant and shit.

[autorevive]

Yeah? Do me! What do I see right now?

[REALLY NATHAN?????????]

[arrested]

No I will not do you. And I know what you're looking at, I'm standing in front of you, you prick.

[autorevive]

I just wanted to see if I could feel it. [sulk. the sulk of a dumbass.]

[arrested]

[ :( she makes a face like he's just asked her if he could slip it in a bit ]

You sick fuck.

So wait, you really can't remember selling your power?

[autorevive]

No? And I still have my power, so maybe you're ... misremembering shit or something.

[arrested]

[ touchy fucking subject, Nathan ]

Out of the two of us here who's more likely to be making shit up? Because it's not me, yeah.

[autorevive]

You don't believe me? I can prove it to you! Wanna see me blow my brains out?

[arrested]

[ arms crossed and glaaaare ]

Have you got any idea how many times I've had to mop up after you thinking it would be funny to put a gun to your head?

[autorevive]

Uh ... five? [NO CLUE.]

[arrested]

The first time was enough. You're not the one that had to pick up tiny pieces of your skull.

[autorevive]

They've got a cleaning crew here for that, it's fiiine. Want me to toss myself off the balcony instead?

[arrested]

I don't want you to toss yourself off anywhere.

You know you'd think coming to another realm or whatever this shit is, I'd be able to get away from a little prick like you.

[ She loves you really, Nathan, that's her version of a hug. ]

[autorevive]

Maybe we're meant to be, you know? Soulmates.

[yeah no he can't even keep a straight face while making that suggestion.]

[arrested]

[ she's not even going to dignify that with a response. just a look, a really hard look. but look how she's not walking away too. damn you nathan. ]

So how did you end up here anyway? You can't tell me all this shit is actually for real.

[autorevive]

It's real! I woke up here one day, same as usual, still no skills to my name. So I decided to kill myself in cool ways on the street for money. If old homeless blokes can play the saxophone, why can't I blow my brains out, right? Anyway, then the Knights picked me up and I've been around ever since. Being all heroic and shit.

[arrested]

[ Hah! ] What have you ever done that's heroic. And no, that time you chose not to have a wank when they had that creche day in the centre isn't being a hero. Doesn't matter how many times you say it is. Just means you're not a paedo.

[autorevive]

Um, let's not forget the time I saved everyone from a cardigan-wearing cult!

[arrested]

You fell off a roof and got yourself killed. [ okay and yeah maybe did save everybody, shut up Nathan she doesn't like it when you have a point, it's unnerving. ]

[autorevive]

[it's ok, it only happens about as often as hayley's comet.] Yeah, but I died a hero! Sure, I got better later, but details.
