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.

[And unfortunately for... everyone, Rose sure did get the meaning behind that 'really'. (SM 26).

Her eyebrows raise but at least she doesn't say the first thing to come to mind. (WS 24).]

What? Am I somehow incapable of dating?

[allmydreams]

No.

[People can date. She doesn't judge them for dating. It's more of the ... well ... ]

Actually, yes, you don't really strike me as the dinner and movie type.

[littledhampir]

I'm not. [Unless diner food and cheap cable movies, counts.]

Not really seeing what that has to do with having a boyfriend.

[allmydreams]

Well, boyfriend usually implies dating. The two words go together. Otherwise, most people use other words.

[She knows these things. She reads a lot of terrible, terrible romance novels.]

Would he use the world boyfriend?

[littledhampir]

[Harsh time for a Nat 20 Wisdom Check.]

Are you... Did you seriously just suggest that my relationship might be all in my head?!

[allmydreams]

[Her eyes go up because wow that is not what she meant at all.]

Oh my God, no. If you were that delusional I doubt you'd be knight. I meant that boyfriends holds certain connotations and people can be together without using that word specifically. It doesn't make the relationship any less valid.

[littledhampir]

[Now she's just... lost.]

Well... What else do you call somebody you're romantically involved with? It's not a casual hook up thing, it's a relationship we're just, not the dinner and a movie types.

[allmydreams]

[She shrugs. But she just knows that "boyfriend" isn't a word that everyone can use.]

It just feels so ... teenage romance. But I'm not exactly a fan of labels.

[littledhampir]

Yeah well - [Grabbing her drink.] I'm not a fan of being judged by somebody who doesn't know the first thing about me or my relationship so... [Will Save 13] I'm gonna go - Find my boyfriend.

[And Rose is going to start moving before Felicity can respond because she's not sticking around to keep being insulted and she's smart enough to know that throwing a drink in her face or tearing her a new one would be a bad idea given it's supposed to be a night about Dean. (Wis 19).]

[allmydreams]

[Felicity blinks in her wake, eyebrows going up for a moment, before she exhales and turns back to the bar.]

I need another drink.

[It's probably for the best. /scene]
