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 || July 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.

[nathan, with his disguise 18, actually looks like he belongs here for once? i mean ... until he opens his mouth. after staring at the two of them for awhile like they're the children of the corn.]

What kind of a name is Dipper?

[lowvi]

[Dipper glances over at Mabel and raises his eyebrow before responding. This never gets old.]

What kind of a name is... whatever your name is?

[autorevive]

Name's Nathan! Fine name, proper name. Dipper, that's ... sounds like a dog or something. Dog with three legs.

[mabeljuice]

[she shrugs at her brother. eh. just go with it.] That's a really specific example, but enough about that. Holy cats, are you Irish?

[she's an american girl. she likes accents. leave her alone.]

[lowvi]

[Oh my god, Mabel. Dipper just raises his eyebrows at her because wow he knows that look, and do not start flirting with the guy who just said his name sounds like a three legged dog.]

[autorevive]

Yeah! [so enthusiastic FUCK YEAH IRELAND what else were we talking about] Grew up there. Haven't been back in ages, though.

[mabeljuice]

Okay, but I gotta ask- are there leprechauns there. We've sorta figured out that there's weirdness everywhere on this side of the Veil, but I have not scratched leprechauns off my Shadowkind bingo card.

[autorevive]

I'm not from this side of the Veil, but there sure as fuck weren't any leprechauns back where I'm from, love. That's a bunch of rubbish. Fuckin' leprechauns, can you imagine?

[lowvi]

Not the most rubbish thing that's turned out to be real. [Though to be fair, a lot of the things he's thinking of aren't real on this side of the Veil. In Gravity Falls they have a whole lot of real rubbish.] Ever seen a leprecorn? It's like a leprechaun crossed with a unicorn and they're supposed to be very irritating.

[Dipper hasn't actually ever come across one, but his source has never let him down before.]

[autorevive]

The fuck is that? That's not real.

[mabeljuice]

No, it totally is. Here. [she runs over to a table and grabs a napkin, pulls a pen out of her brother's pocket, because she knows he has one and proceeds to begin sketching, using Dipper's back as her easel. it's clear they do this all the time.

when she's done, she produces this drawing. (craft visual art 21) (] Boom! A Gravity Falls classic.

[lowvi]

[Dipper bares all of this patiently. He could point out that he has a book with more information and a scientific drawing, but honestly he doesn't like this Nathan guy enough to talk about Journal 3 with him, and anyway, he left it in his room. None of the information in it has been relevant since they went through the veil, so he only holds onto it out of sentimentality. He never did figure out who the Author of the Journals was, but he still feels like they had a connection. If they had met, maybe Dipper would have gotten to experience talking to someone who actually understood him.]

Let's just say coming through the Veil actually was a step down in weirdness. Tiny golf ball people don't live in mini-golf courses, video game characters rarely come to life, and none of the gnomes have tried to marry Mabel. It's almost boring.

[autorevive]

Nice picture. I drew a picture of a giraffe giving itself a blowie once, that doesn't make it real. Or does it? I wish I could see that shit. They got that where you come from, Dunkaroo?

[mabeljuice]

There was a definite lack of masturbating giraffes in Gravity Falls, and if there were any, we probably wouldn't have been told about it. We were twelve.

[she sticks her tongue out.] I mean gnome marriage is okay for a preteen, but that'd be right out.

[lowvi]

It was in Oregon. Climate's not really right for giraffes anyway. Besides in zoos, I guess.

[autorevive]

I won my lemur from a zoo in a game of craps. His name's Barry. He loves cheeseburgers. Or any burger, I'd reckon. Especially In-n-Out, but they don't have that shit here.

[mabeljuice]

[and mabel just runs with that] Ooh! That's how I got my boar. ..Actually, I sorta stole him from a sketchy and super unethical circus we busted up. His name's Squeaker.

[lowvi]

Aren't lemurs, like, extremely illegal to keep as pets?

[autorevive]

What are you going to do, arrest me?
