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.

You mean to say he doesn't remember you, or your child, from his time before coming through the veil? [ because otherwise that... doesn't make sense. how would they come from different times?? ]
consequence: (and I said: you're beautiful)

[Hayley shrugs.]

I don't know how it works, but he said he's been here for a lot longer than I have been and when I came here, he had still been in New Orleans, with me. So, I'm not really sure how else to explain it ... except magic is weird.

[personal profile] socialgraces 2014-09-15 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
But mostly explicable. [ magic, that is ] Although, there has been talk recently about those who fell through the Veil from other dimensions... besides the Shadow World, that is.
consequence: (and I said: you're beautiful)

[Hayley feels Olivia's foot fidgeting and she shifts to try and adjust her hold on her. Hayley's own personal opinion on magic is that it's not to be messed with and she'd prefer to keep away from it as much as possible - if there's a choice.]

I don't know if I'd prefer thinking that I'm from a different dimension than him. [It was easier to just not think about it at all and actually try to deal with their differences in memories than try to figure out why it happened.]

[personal profile] socialgraces 2014-09-15 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
I don't blame you. [ her smile becomes sympathetic, and her attention focuses on the baby again with all the fidgeting ] We don't have to discuss it any further. I've not much else to say on the subject, myself.

[ and then, with a sudden burst of courage from nowhere, she asks timidly: ] Would you mind if...? [ she motions to olivia ] I know I just met you, but... I can't say I remember the last time I held a child this young. [ might have been never tbh ]
consequence: (spread their wings and fly)

[personal profile] consequence 2014-09-15 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Hayley smiles with a bit of relief on the dropping of the subject and she cants her head at the woman.]

Uh... sure. [Olivia is a bit fussy, but then Hayley realizes something.] I didn't catch your name -- just in case you decide to poof off in a cloud of smoke, I'll know who to go looking for. [She's teasing, of course, but she did actually want to know the woman's name before handing her kid over to her.]

[personal profile] socialgraces 2014-09-15 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ francesca smirks at the excuse, but she's all too eager to provide the information ] Oh, of course! My name's Francesca. I use no surname, but I've been a Knight for over a hundred years, so there are few you don't know me.
consequence: (be adults and die)

[personal profile] consequence 2014-09-15 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
It's nice to meet you, Francesca. [She smiles before shifting Olivia in her arms and handing her over to the woman. The over a hundred years part is curious to her, mostly because she knows that her daughter will far outlive her and that one day Olivia and her father will be the lone hybrids in the world - so the thought of there being others who live longer than expected is interesting to her.]

Forgive my question, but are you a vampire?
socialgraces: (Default)

[personal profile] socialgraces 2014-09-15 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no! [ her eyes go wide, an attempt to express 'i promise i won't eat your baby!' also she rolled a nat 20 handle animal (yeah that's what we use for babies lol) so apparently she is the baby whisperer or sth and olivia calms right down in her arms. she does have a very soothing aura. ] I'm a drow. A dark elf. [ she flashes one of her pointy ears best she can ] That's perhaps not much more reassuring than a vampire, but I promise, I wish you no ill.

And Olivia here, she's just the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. [ but she's not gonna tear up, okay. as much as she wants to. instead she'll let the little girl's hand wrap around her index finger. ]
consequence: (give it all to the homeless)

[personal profile] consequence 2014-09-15 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Hayley immediately wishes she'd given her more context.]

Oh, it's okay -- I didn't mean it like that. I'm a werewolf, actually, and she's actually a hybrid. Vampire and werewolf ... but I asked, because she's going to outlive me by ... well, she's immortal, but I'm not. I just was curious about the age part.

[personal profile] socialgraces 2014-09-15 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, I see. [ wow look at this 24 will save and 49 bluff to not show how much she's FREAKING THE FUCK OUT at that information. good vampire/werewolf baby. nice vampire/werewolf baby.

luckily, on the outside, she appears just as calm as before, albeit a bit curious ]
I'm not immortal, by any means. [ in fact, i just died like two years ago :') ] Just an extended life-span by human standards.

Forgive my forwardness, but I wasn't sure vampires could even... [ breed is probably not the appropriate word choice here ] reproduce.
consequence: season 2 (of course it is)

[personal profile] consequence 2014-09-15 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Ha ha. Here's Hayley's best ME EITHER face complete with a little raise of her hand.]

Yeah, me either. [She takes a breath and reaches to touch her fingers to Olivia's foot.] It's the werewolf side that is the natural part of Klaus. He was born one and so was I. Where I'm from, vampires were first created through magic. So while there is a vampire side to him, that's just half of who he is.

The werewolf part... that's where the complication and the baby come into play.

[ she looks back to olivia, giving her one last smile before reaching back to hand her off to her mother again ] Well, we've definitely stumbled into uncharted territory for me. I can't say my knowledge extends to such subjects, or that I even knew there were such subjects to begin with. [ she chuckles through her uneasiness ]

I know of one vampire though. Actually, he's a close friend of mine. I could drop the name of your child's father and see if he's had any contact with him, if you'd like.
consequence: (can you bleach out urine stains)

[personal profile] consequence 2014-09-15 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Hayley smiles and takes Olivia back from her.]

That's not needed. We've spoken, I just -- when I said he's here somewhere, I meant more... at this party. Not, somewhere in this world. I've seen him, not this evening yet, but he was present at the birth and helped me name her.

Who's your vampire friend, though? [Because she's curious to know who else is here.]

[personal profile] socialgraces 2014-09-16 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Spike. [ she smiles fondly at his mention ] He's been a knight for over two years now.
consequence: (are we going to prom or hell)

[personal profile] consequence 2014-09-21 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Spike? That's his name? [She makes an amused face.] At least, if I run into him I won't have to check that he's the right Spike.

[personal profile] socialgraces 2014-10-12 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ she laughs ] I suppose you have a point there.
consequence: (Default)

[personal profile] consequence 2014-10-12 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hayley smiles.] It was nice to talk with you, but I'm sure you have others to talk to and I should probably try to track Klaus down and see if he wants to watch Olivia for a bit.
socialgraces: (pic#8035053)

[personal profile] socialgraces 2014-10-13 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Yes, yes, I suppose I should finish making the rounds.

It was very nice to meet you, Hayley. [ and she holds a finger out to olivia again, brushing it against her tiny hand ] And you, as well, Olivia.
consequence: (Default)

[personal profile] consequence 2014-10-22 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Hayley smiles and nods.] Enjoy the rest of your evening.
