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.

Loads of runnin'. Missed the running. Came here for a bloke, actually. That weird lookin' one over there, all noodle limbs with the bow tie like a daft monkey.

[ bless. she points out the doctor, obvious, looking and sounding fond, if not exasperated.

never over the bow tie. ]

[badexample]

[andrew remembers the weird lanky guy apparently (int 15)]

John something, right?

[keptbiting]

No, he's called the Doctor. [ her nose wrinkles. don't tell her it's john smith. no, tell her. ] 's not something crap like John Smith, is it? Most boring name on the planet?

[badexample]

Yeah! That's it. John Smith. Squired to Wynn- or he was before the mass promotion business. So what's he a doctor of?

[keptbiting]

[ she shakes her head at that stupid name. ]

Everything. Space.

[badexample]

Huh. [He just think you means he's an astronomer.]

So you're his...what? TA?

[keptbiting]

Um, friend. [ a beat. ] He's my assistant, really.

[badexample]

So you're another astronomer, then?

[She doesn't seem the type tbh]

[keptbiting]

Yeah, something like that.

[badexample]

Huh- well, that's cool. So what brings you here to us? Space stuff?

[keptbiting]

Nah, I just followed him. Well, biggest fracas I could find. Knew he would be there.

[badexample]

Lot of trouble to go through. Got a thing for him?

[keptbiting]

What, no!

[ except yes. ]

[badexample]

Just checking.

[keptbiting]

[ she bristles. ] Hes all... alien. And bonkers. No.

[badexample]

Sorry, what?

[keptbiting]

Alien. [ she sounds it out slowly. ]

[badexample]

You mean like a foreigner or like a Martian?

[keptbiting]

Well, he's not from Mars. [ a beat. ] I don't think he's from Mars. He gets all grumpy faced when I call him a Martian like I don't respect his alien heritage or something rubbish like that. [ her face scrunches like he's a daft cow.

like she doesn't flip out when people call her irish/british. ]

[badexample]

Hang on. You're saying that Wynn hired an alien to be a knight?

That's so... [He draws it out.]

Awesome.

[keptbiting]

Yeah? I mean, don't tell him that, he'll get such a big head...

[badexample]

Do you just mean an ego or does his head actually get bigger?

[ALIEN]

[keptbiting]

Ego. Though I've not tested it yet... could be both.

[badexample]

Huh. Well, I'll try not to let on that it's pretty fucking cool.

[keptbiting]

See to it that you do. [ er, don't? wait... whatever. amy nods decisively as if that decides it before her attention is grabbed by the prettiest woman on the planet, aka bo, aka andrew's wife. her jaw drops. ] Oh my giddy aunt.
