after-party ♔ september



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 || 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.

All. Right?

[What you doing gurl? He shifts back and forth uncomfortably on his feet.]

Is there...something I can do for you?

[ Wow he's pretty but maybe a little dumb? She'll let that pass, mostly because of the pretty thing. ]

I was just saying hello?

[ Which she might be saying slowly, because she's helpful like that, in case he's dumb and can't keep up :) ]

You're new here too, right? I saw you at that squiring thing.

Oh. Sorry. Hi.

[Social butterfly, Sam is not.]

Yeah, I am. I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name earlier?

Alisha.

[ She smiles at him a bit, likely because of his face. ]

You look like you could do with a few more of those. [ And a vague gesture towards the bottle in his hand. ]

I don't bite, you know.

Sam. It's nice to meet you.

[In case she didn't catch his earlier, too.]

I'm not usually a big drinker unless the situation calls for it.

[And this situation definitely does. At least a couple.]

You sure? I'm pretty sure some of the people around here might.

[He met a vampire already okay?]

Better get them in then, right?

[ Alisha could probably neck a whole bottle of vodka right now without it touching the sides. This shit is categorically bananas. But still, at least there's someone nice to look at. Even if she has to look up... a lot.
]

Yeah wouldn't surprise me. All sorts around here.

[ a beat ]

You American then? [ because that's exotic to her okay ]

[personal profile] familybusiness 2014-09-15 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Before the proverbial crap hits that fan? Yeah, probably.

[Because it was bound to eventually. It always did.]

Yeah, I'm originally from Kansas.

[For all of like...six months, oops.]

You know it would be nice if just for once nothing weird happened. [ But yeah, she really doesn't see that happening. Really, after all, Knights? ]

Oh yeah? Haven't got a pair of ruby slippers, have you?

[ beat ]

That's where she was from, right?

[personal profile] familybusiness 2014-09-16 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well, I wouldn't count on it.

[Optimism fail.]

I must have lost them when I came through the Veil. [He nods, though.] But yeah, from what I remember.

[ She smirks a bit ]

So why'd you go joining the knights then? You the hero sort? Tall, dark and handsome and all that?

[personal profile] familybusiness 2014-09-24 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[He laughs a little awkwardly at that last bit.]

I dunno. I like it here. People working together toward the same goal. Saving people. Community. What's not to like?

[personal profile] arrested 2014-09-25 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah well as long as they don't make me wash down graffiti and pick up shit then I'm fine.

[ Not actual shit, that is, but she's had enough of the forced labour thing with the community service. ]

You a bit of a wannabe hero then, Kansas?

So far it sounds like the worst of it is desk duty.

[His smile is crooked as he shrugs his shoulders a bit.]

This is what I know. Might as well put it to good use, right? What about you? What are you looking for from all of this?
arrested: (pic#8279420)

[personal profile] arrested 2014-09-30 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah well can't be any worse than any of the jobs I've ever had. I mean seriously have you ever cleaned up three day old sick?

[ The thought makes her almost stop, maybe genuinely think about it, but then look down. ]

I dunno. Just-- Well something yeah? Something that isn't bullshit like the rest of life.
familybusiness: (pic#8049175)

[personal profile] familybusiness 2014-09-30 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Can't say that I have.

[He has, however, dealt with crime scenes, autopsies, and all sorts of bodily fluids. Also grave robbing.]

The rest of life isn't so bad, especially when you've never really had it. Kind of a grass is greener situation. But yeah, it's hard to go back after you've left it.
arrested: (pic#8259797)

[personal profile] arrested 2014-09-30 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah well just be glad you haven't.

[ She has... no idea of course about everything she has seen. She'd probably take some old sick and skanky bins over that any day. ]

Yeah? So what have you had then?[ She pushes a little, the curiosity taking the place of courtesy. ] I mean, if you think everything else is so rosy and great.

[He sure...crit failed a will save to keep his mouth shut.]

Well, for starters, my mom was murdered by a yellow-eyed demon when I was six months old. After that, my dad dragged my brother and I across the country our entire lives, left us in hotel rooms alone while he went out and killed monsters until we were old enough to help him do it.

And by old enough I mean, like, old enough to know how to reload a gun and not shoot yourself in the foot with it.

[In other words, not very old.]

I'd take crappy minimum wage jobs over that any day.

[ Well all of that was... unexpected. She looks at him a moment like 'wtf is this guy on', mouth agape, because even she doesn't quite have a comeback to all that.

So her response is simple and succinct. ]


What... seriously?
familybusiness: (pic#8045032)

[personal profile] familybusiness 2014-10-14 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
I wish I wasn't?

[Because yeah. Dead serious. Not even a hint of deceit over here.]
