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 || October 1st, 2014, 6:00PM [backdated]
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.

[Bambi, in a dice roll NO ONE saw coming, got a nat 20 disguise check, so Cordelia probably dressed her or something. She's a little bit uncomfortable, being that she... never looks this fancy ever, so she's sort of meandering around the party with a champagne glass, feeling like Cinderella at the ball.]

[fixyourproblem]

[Oh look, who's here? Brantley's fellow squire from the same squiring ceremony. Time to say hi. He walks toward her with a champagne glass of his own and also a smile of his own.]

Miss Bambi, nice to see you here. Where have you been?

[theshameofcain]

Hither with a side of yon. [trying to get her gun certification, mostly. She salutes him with her glass.] Hi, Rivers. Long time, no see.

[fixyourproblem]

Really good to see you.

[Do you remember him as the guy that never stop flirting? Well, here's a reminder. (charm 14)]

And have I said that you look absolutely dazzling in that dress?

[theshameofcain]

[well her will save was a 22, so she's... sadly unaffected and just blinks at him.] Really? ...You don't think it's too much? Cordelia told me it wasn't, but it's Cordelia. She's from the 90's.

[fixyourproblem]

[He chuckles a bit.] No, I agree with your friend, it suits you. But I am not exactly the right person to go to if you want advice about latest fashion. My wardrobe mostly contains suits and sexy underpants.

[theshameofcain]

[stare]

Wait. Like you wear banana hammocks under your suits?

[LOOK BAMBI DOESN'T KNOW WHAT CONSTRUES SEXY FOR MEN'S UNDERGARMENTS.]

[fixyourproblem]

[He chuckles without any embarrassment at all.]

Well, I am not wearing that right now. But I have a couple [dozens] of them for more discreet occasion. Although, what I am wearing can be considered sexy for some people.

[theshameofcain]

[she stares at him.]

God, I don't even own a thong. [.....] Wow, I am really having this conversation.

[fixyourproblem]

[He stares back at her for a moment. Disbelieving that there's still a woman who doesn't own a couple pairs of thongs. But he grins right after with a hint of playfulness.] What!? Don't tell me you don't like a bit of spicy joie de vivre once in a while?

[theshameofcain]

It's butt floss! That's not spicy! It's basically a socially appropriate wedgie.

[fixyourproblem]

[He smiles playfully, having a face of someone who is joking but dead-serious at the same time.] No.... It is actually quite comfortable to wear once you get used to it. Think of it like earrings. Looks painful but actually fun to wear. Don't tell me you have never wanted to try wearing them at least once!?

[theshameofcain]

Earrings? [hahahaha I am Bambi's deliberate obtuseness. Though to be fair, her ears aren't pierced, so...]

[fixyourproblem]

No... the other one, of course... [He grins showing a bit of teasing and a bit of playful persuasion.] Aren't you curious about them? Why do all those people wear them? There must be something satisfying about them, right?

[theshameofcain]

I figured it was just people being unnecessarily slutty.

[fixyourproblem]

Well... A little bit of that, actually. But they're also fun to wear. You definitely need to try them. You can't really say that you hate something but never actually tried it, right? [He is so getting Bambi a couple of them. Mostly for joke, of course.... mostly...]

[theshameofcain]

Oh my God, Rivers. You're awful. [she shoves him lightly, laughing.]

[fixyourproblem]

Yeah... maybe a bit. [He smiles lightly, shrugging his head.] Well, nice seeing you here, Miss Bambi. I am sure we will talk again soon. [Probably to talk about a package containing an assortment of lingerie Brantley will send her in a couple of days.] Have a good evening.

[theshameofcain]

Yeah. Right back at you. [BRANTLEY, YOU ARE THE WORST!!! X( X(]
