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.

[ Alisha is trying to enjoy the party, she has no time for people who are supposed to mentor her or whatever that shit means. As soon as she arrives, Alisha's face is sullen. Too much like a probation officer for her liking.

But she doesn't laugh in Helen's face so that's... something? ]


Yeah fine, whatever.

[She just has a tendency to attract grumpy young women, doesn't she? Perhaps she has a type when it comes to Squires.]

You get used to the parties. By now, I hardly bat an eye at how extravagant it all can be.

Right yeah [ she scoffs ] Because you're used to more what, tea parties with the grannies?

Something like that. [She's not at all bothered by the attitude.] I've been here for some time. As the years go on, you start to find the rhythm of it.

Oh my god could you sound any more like a grandma? [ she laughs again, and pulls her phone out, quickly checking twitter or something equally unimportant ]

[Helen's smile is a bit forced now. Two squires with such lovely attitudes to wear her down... She knows that Wynn knows what he's doing when he places these squires, but that doesn't mean she doesn't find it a bit frustrating when they want to fight her tooth and nail.]

I only wanted to say hello and let you know that I'm around if you have any questions. Not just today, but any time.

I don't need a babysitter. [ she's quick to point that out, just in case there'd been any sort of illusion otherwise. ]

So what, are you supposed to be like my teacher or something?

The term used is mentor- and I can be however much or little that you please. I can teach you about the knighthood, yes, or simply be someone to talk to as you continue to learn about this place and our work from your own experiences.

The most vital part of my role is to evaluate mission reports from any missions you're placed on so that I can determine the appropriate time to recommend your promotion to full knighthood to be placed with on of our sects.

The term used is mentor. [ Alisha repeats the words just with an added pile of sarcasm. Sorry Helen, she's not really buying all of this just yet. ]

Yeah well sounds like a probation officer to me, and I've been through enough of them to last me a lifetime.

[Internally, she is rolling her eyes. But Helen won't drop her polite smile.]

Well, if you change your mind, I'm not hard to find.

[ the art of ignoring is at its finest here, as Alisha has already produced a nail file from her pocket and started filing her nails. Sorry Helen. Only, not. ]

Whatever

[And on that note, Helen slips away because she's not a masochist. There's plenty of time to get to know her new squire later. Not like there will be a war or anything...]
