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.

[ he sighs ] The whole place feels off kilter, doesn't it. [ his gaze sweeps back towards the doors, catching glimpses of the crowd inside. ] I've always looked up to him, as different as we might have been. Ever since I joined the Knights, he's been a Dragon's Claw, and I always thought ..

As did I. [ hold it together, gurl. i guess a will save of 15 is enough to not just burst into tears or sth. but she does look divert her gaze at his comment in an attempt to hide the tears welling up in her eyes.

swallowing the thick lump in her throat, she says: ]
I never thought I'd have to imagine this place without him. As much of a trouble-maker as he is, he's always managed get the job done, and return home. Sometimes with more than just a scratch or two, but... always in good spirits.

And always with a certain devil-may-care air of invincibility, as it were.

None of us are beyond our flaws, I'm afraid.

Oh, Thomas is most certainly not without flaws. [ she chuckles to herself, fondly ] It's what he's made of himself despite them, how he's turned them into strengths, that's truly admirable.

And yet... that devil-may-care attitude was bound to catch up to him eventually.

Dimitris could have let either of us go.

He chose me because Thomas wasn't human. Not for any other reason.

[ wow. as if she could be anymore upset about the situation. ] Thomas would have wanted it this way, Jack, as much as you don't.

If something were to happen... He's lived a full life, more so than most, you know - he'd be the first to say so - and through his bravery you're here, we're here, to make sure his sacrifice wasn't for naught.

I understand as much. It doesn't make it any easier to face, unfortunately.
