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.

Dragon's Booty's the pirates. I think owning a ship is a requirement for entry.

[Or at least that's the theory. But you can still join up, Mabel, there's nothing about her tone that discourages you from pulling together your pirate prowess. But in actual answer to Dipper's question:]

Nope. I have claws. And really sharp teeth.

[Look she's mostly out as a werewolf to most of the knighthood, she doesn't really bother to hide it anymore. Saves people from freaking out on missions.]

[lowvi]

...werewolf? [I mean, it's just a guess, but it feels like a pretty solid guess.]

Or some other kind of shapeshifter. Since, uh, your teeth look pretty normal right now.

[mabeljuice]

Or a vampire with a good manicure? [SHE SOUNDS... SO HOPEFUL...]

[impetere]

[She smirks a bit at Mabel's response before shaking her head.]

Werewolf. There are actually a few of us around here.

[lowvi]

Really? Around as in part of this organization? Like, are you a pack?

[Is that not a pc way to put it? Dipper makes a note to research werewolves more.]

[mabeljuice]

Maybe they're non-union werewolves...

[that's definitely not a pc way to put it.]

[impetere]

[There's a pause because ... she doesn't have an actual answer to that.]

We're all knights, so yes, part of this organization.

[a beat.]

We're working on the pack part.

[lowvi]

Huh. I guess it would be pretty interesting... wolves have packs that are mostly, but not exclusively, family. They'll accept unrelated wolves, though. But you're human, so that's a whole lot of other instincts that are not necessarily conducive to making a pack....

[Knowledge 19. He doesn't know as much about wolves as about other things, but he's picked some stuff up.]

[impetere]

Humans are more pack-oriented than you think. You have families after all - whether by blood or ones you make by choice.

[mabeljuice]

Yeah, Dipper. [she swats him on the shoulder.] Way to forget your pack-sister.
