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.

[Oh my god someone's listening to them. Dipper turns around, looking a little embarrassed, but hey, it's someone he actually likes. That doesn't happen often.]

Loooong story. We were 12. It stuck.

[mabeljuice]

[A LOT of things stuck from when they were twelve. like co-dependence and an inability to trust anyone!

meanwhile, there's no shame in her game. she owns her mystery twin shit.]

It's gonna take a lot of effort, but I'm definitely gonna try to get Wynn to address us like that one day. It'll be so much better than Sirs Pines... Sir Pinses?

[thetokenaussie]

[You can actually see her trying to get that mental picture. A slow smile pulling at the corner of her mouth.]

Now that... I'd pay good money to see. [Whether she means Wynn doing it or Mabel trying, we just don't know.]

Ya know, I'm surprised Wynn didn't just Squire you two as a package deal. Don't think I've seen you apart since New York. [JS. She's noticed. Adding to Dipper;] You got stuck with me, I'm afraid.

[lowvi]

[He shrugs a shoulder.] We were always close, then we got hurdled into a new world where we didn't know anyone but each other. We stick together. [And it hasn't always been easy to make that happen, which only makes them stick together harder.]

So they gave both of us to people on that mission. [A beat.] I got the better end of that stick, sorry, Mabel.

[mabeljuice]

Rude. Alice isn't so bad, even if she didn't shoot out the tires of a car. [she shoves him, laughing.] They probably sensed you're easily distracted by redheads, anyway, and I had to fall on that ginger grenade... gingernade.

[thetokenaussie]

Sounds like you got lucky coming through as a pair. Doesn't happen much from what I hear.

[Given how old they were when they came through? Probably not feeling that lucky.

Frankie will just grin, take the compliment and make no comment.]

Redheads, huh? [She can already tell Mabel is going to be a good source of information.] Please, tell me more.

[lowvi]

[Dipper groans, cheeks going red.]

One redhead. We were 12.

[Cause there definitely haven't been anymore at every single school they've attended and also in his creepy internet history. Never. What are you talking about.

....none of them were as cool as Wendy, anyway. But that's a pretty high bar.]

[mabeljuice]

[she holds her hand up to her mouth conspiratorially and leans closer to Frankie.] It's never just one. [sorry, brother.] However, I will say he has matured significantly, so it's not as unfortunate as it used to be.

[thanks sister.]

[thetokenaussie]

Clearly after I get done with your Orientation I need to take Mabel here out for a beer. [God it feels so wrong thinking about Mabel Pines drinking.]

Which - [To Dipper.] Is a thing we'll do once you've had a chance to settle. Give you the grand tour. Play a game of twenty questions. If you're up for it?

[She's known Dipper all of five minutes and she already knows he won't be able to limit it to Twenty Questions.]

[lowvi]

Oh, yeah. [He pulls a notebook out of his back pocket and starts flipping through it.] I hope you won't actually be counting, cause I don't think I can narrow it down to twenty.

[mabeljuice]

Block out a couple hours or else make sure you get a lot of beers. [she holds up her hand.] And I'll be drinking sangria, thank you very much. Beer tastes like butt.
