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 || May 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.

Runs in the family. Several generations, turns out.

[clarkfuckingkent]

With the Knights too?

[likedillinger]

... No. Hunters don't usually work for anybody.

[clarkfuckingkent]

So what made you decide to sign up?

[likedillinger]

It's kind of a long story.

[clarkfuckingkent]

I didn't realize I looked so busy. [What else does he have to do right now bro?]

[likedillinger]

You hear about the mess last year?

[clarkfuckingkent]

It's been a long year. I'm guessing you mean the stuff with the Hudson?

[likedillinger]

Here in the castle. With the doppelganger.

[clarkfuckingkent]

[He looks really confused.]

Apparently no one thought to fill me in on that one.

[And no one was sending him secret organization deets before he joined.]

[likedillinger]

Maybe they just don't like talkin' about it. Couldn't blame 'em.

[clarkfuckingkent]

So... what happened? [YOU CAN'T BRING IT UP AND JUST NOT SAY ANYTHING, DEAN.]

[likedillinger]

Castle got infiltrated by a doppelganger working for the psycho Prime Minister of Andres Isle. Guess he'd captured two of the Knights here to experiment on, and the doppelganger was trading off pretendin' to be both of 'em.

Then this changeling chick, Elena, busted him out, and they brought in yours truly to find him.

[clarkfuckingkent]

...Elena? [Oh, he's pretty sure he's met her. Or he's met an Elena. It's not a super common name.]

So did you? Find him?

[likedillinger]

Actually... he found us.

[clarkfuckingkent]

Yikes. I'm guessing it didn't end well.

[likedillinger]

That would be an understatement. He wound up dead.

[clarkfuckingkent]

[Clark's eyes widen a bit.]

Did you..?

[likedillinger]

Not quite.

[clarkfuckingkent]

[Well, he's not really sure if he should press further.]

I'm guessing the whole thing is sort of a touchy subject. [Even though Dean was the one who sort of brought it up. Awkward newbie doesn't know what he's allowed to ask right now.]

[likedillinger]

That would be the understatement of the year. They let the changeling who'd busted him out back into the Knights and people are kinda a mixed bag on good an idea that was.

[clarkfuckingkent]

I thought you said Elena busted him out? [S l o w l y connecting these dots.]

[likedillinger]

Yeah. Elena is the changeling.

[clarkfuckingkent]

She's still here, though. I mean I just met her the other day. But you're saying she helped someone escape?

[likedillinger]

Let's just say Wynn's a helluva lot more forgiving than maybe he should be.
