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, 2016, 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.

[ That... hadn't been the answer Hawley was expecting. ]

You what?

[lichabod]

I was slain in combat, as I felled my opponent in kind. The last I remember was laying in a medical tent as Katrina attended me.

[ his shoulders, and pride, deflate. ]

Her voice is the last sound I heard, before...

[ he gestures to the air around them. what are words? ]

[procurer]

[ This doesn't make any sense. ]

Wait, wait, back up a minute here.

When did you die? Are we talking Shakespearean time here or after I left you in Sleepy Hollow with Mills? Which opponent are we talking about? Because Abbie didn't say anything about you dying in some tent.

[ the continued line of questioning prompts crane to endeavor. to find within the furthest reaches in himself a reserve of patience with which he may weather this continued interaction. ]

Are you hard of hearing?

[ well-- patience is something he's still working on. without a clue about katrina to follow, crane wonders why he's entertaining this conversation at all. but despite the doubt, he proceeds. ]

I don't know you, and I don't know any Mills'. I died in the war with my wife at my side. The war is my last memory of Sleepy Hollow.

[procurer]

[ Well. That.... put some things into perspective and complicated literally everything else. ]

You didn't die.

[ Nick rubbed a hand over his face, because Abbie should be the one here explaining this, not him. She'd been there in person, after all, and she'd always gotten on between with Crane than he had. Which was to say at all, because he and Crane weren't so good at the whole getting along thing. ]

Katrina did something. Put you to sleep, put you under a spell, I don't know all the magic witchy details, but I do know that somehow your fate was tied to the Headless guy. When he woke up, so did you, but it was 2013 and Abbie was the one that ended up... reorienting you, I guess.
