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 || March 1st, 2015, 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.

[ she probably shouldn't attend a party when her life is one never-ending clusterfuck spiraling out of control (and because she's fucking nine months pregnant), but vi has decided she doesn't give a shit. (disguise 14) nothing goes right anyway, might as well get a party in while she can.

plus she's hungry and there is food here she doesn't have to make or order. ]

[killingtodeath]

[Stiles can't attend a party that Vi is at without at least saying hi.]

Hi.

[See?]

[graveflowers]

[ lmao i laughed so hard. vi however, doesn't get the amusement from brackets and just offers stiles a small smile. ]

Hey kiddo.

[killingtodeath]

How's mama goby and baby goby been doing?

[graveflowers]

Just keepin' swimming. What about you? [ she gently shifts to bump him with her hip. ]

[killingtodeath]

[He bumps right back.]

Eh, can't complain. Still kicking. Got myself a squire, so that's keeping things interesting.

[graveflowers]

Oh, do tell? All the juicy details.

[killingtodeath]

Found him on Andres, actually. He was- [Stiles snorts.] Actually he was having sex with this elf chick? We were going door to door to find people to help or get to safety and this chick lets us in. Her sister- Nyna, another new squire actually was in there with Matt. That's my squire. So we go back to sound the alarm for them and just...

Let's just say there was a full moon that night.

Anyway- the guy's actually pretty cool. Kind of a smart ass, but he seems like he's actually interested in learning about this place, so I'm just... trying not to screw it up.

[graveflowers]

That is... wow that is way more details than I was expecting. [ like... wtf happened on andres???? ]

[killingtodeath]

It was way more detail than I needed to see of my squire before I even knew his name. I needed to scar someone else for life too.

[graveflowers]

You're a cruel and capricious, god, Sir Stilinski.

[killingtodeath]

And that's part of why you love me. [He grins at her.] So when are you due, by the way? You might have told me. I probably forgot.

[graveflowers]

Nah, I don't think it came up during my temper tantrum. First week of June or thereabouts. Forever away.

[impetere]

[Cora forgot that the squiring party was even a thing tonight. She shouldn't have, she should have known better, but for once she didn't have a reason to be there so she ... forgot. Which would explain why she isn't dressed for it at all.

However, Vi is here! So she's going to at least slip over to say hi and see how she's doing since it's been a while. Girl's been busy.]

Hey. Need a hand?

[And she doesn't mean that in a "you are a delicate pregnant flower, let me hold everything for you" way but more in a "do you need me to hold your second plate?" sort of vibe.]

[graveflowers]

[ lbr vi's not dressed for it either, she just can't fit into shorts anymore so she's forced to wear dresses or pajamas all the time. life is pain. ]

Thanks, but I got it. I think. Maybe. [ we'll see. ] How's it going, Hale?

[impetere]

[Should that change, she is here for plate holding duty.]

Okay.

[In theory.]

I got a squire.

[That's the big news that's come up since last they talked.]

[graveflowers]

[ everyone is getting squires, holy shit. ]

Yeah, who is it?

[impetere]

Malia? She's a werecoyote. But we're from the same world so it's basically the same mechanics.

[graveflowers]

Werecoyote? Cora, I've always been meaning to ask. [ she sets down her plate to creep closer and put a hand on cora's shoulder, leaning in conspiratorially. ] Is there such a thing... as a werepenguin?

[ she's figured you out, italia. ]

[impetere]

[Cora will totally lean in to match that conspiratorial atmosphere, before shaking her head.]

No idea. But apparently weresharks are a thing, so anything is possible.

[graveflowers]

I knew it. That adorable little fucker is a werepenguin. No wonder he looks so good in a tuxedo.

[ ANYPOODLE. ]

So, anyway, how's that? Being a mentor, mentoring, mentory stuff. Things.

[impetere]

It's ... weird.

[She pauses for a moment as she tries to figure it out.]

She's my age, you know? So it doesn't really feel like I know much more than she does, aside from the obvious.

[graveflowers]

I'm not sure you need to know more. It's not... knowledge, it's experience. You know how missions work, you know about werepoodle stuff around the castle, those are the things she needs to learn from you. I mean, no matter what you tell her, her first mission is going to be nutso because it's her first mission -- as long as you're able to teach her to roll with the punches, I'm sure she'll be fine.

[impetere]

[She nods slowly, before smirking slightly.]

She's from Beacon Hills. She probably has that down already.

[But they can work on it some more. She wants to help her, even if she doesn't really know how, but at least she can start with helping her control her shift.]

[graveflowers]

See? Half the work's done for you. You'll be fine, kiddo.
