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 || June 1st, 2014, 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.

Years. [ she nods. ] They left around the time I joined. The parties have been going on much longer than that, though. We like to celebrate those brave enough to join us.

[brokenteacup]

Abigail. [ she shakes, but let's go quickly. she's the epitome of a startled fawn, tense and nervous. people. too many people. she hates meeting people. ]

[brokenteacup]

Why? [ her eyes narrow shrewdly, but she's curious. thoster wins, he got abigail to stop focusing on being anxious and focus on something else. and he's not a dog, so... you know, this is a big deal. ten points for piquing her curiosity. ]

[easily]

[There's a dramatic sigh at that, but it's all in a playful sort of way.]

Of course. Charming, good looking, an excellent dancer -- of course you would be gay.

[easily]

Everyone has their strengths.

[easily]

[Rebekah frowns in confusion at that.]

That was a while ago -- I was returning to New Orleans...thought I can't remember why exactly

[fixyourproblem]

[Brantley turns his head away, trying to hide his contempt, but it still shows that he is in a foul mood. He doesn't hate the man, but he doesn't like his decision to wait.] It seems Master Wynn believes that "patience is a virtue" is the most appropriate phrase at the moment.

[beatemup]

[Yeah, even if there were 20 of him, it still wouldn't be enough to see through that lie. He literally has -1 sense motive modifier.]

Wow, that's the most generic name I've ever heard. Well, as I said, I'm Max. Maxwell Briggard. Pleasure to know you, pal. [And he pats the generic-named man on the shoulder, and with his half-orc strength, it's more like a whack than a pat.]

[witchwoman]

Is it terrible that I can't remember? [She shakes her head.] It was two years ago? Two and a half, maybe? So much has happened since then.

[beatemup]

Don't say that, pal. You know what they say, after every storm comes a rainbow. But if you're really planning to do something entertaining tomorrow, call me before you do it, will ya? [He smiles widely, and no, he is not being sarcastic at all, he really is hoping that Stiles will put on a show or something. Well, you know, half-orcs have weird way of thinking. Maybe not all, but this one certainly has.]

[mydesigns]

It's not terrible. [he shakes his head.] Two years ago is a long time. Especially with all that's happened to you — [he stops like wow i probably shouldn't have said that. oh well. tact and will graham tend to live in different neighborhoods.]

[valdrin]

We do have to make our own fun.

[chessing]

I'm afraid I'd have to, or I might find myself in trouble in the field. Dragon's Claws work alone, more often than not. [ oh he just

made himself sad

conceal don't feel jack ]

[eldritchweaver]

Wynn is more than aware of our qualms in this matter.

[killingtodeath]

Guess that means my dreams of becoming Sir Couch Potato are officially dashed. Nah, that's not a big deal. Hell, maybe I can get a lacrosse team together.

...and maybe I'll actually get to play regularly.

[killingtodeath]

Melissa. [Why can he remember that but not Scott?] Shes a nurse. She used to- After my mom died, she helped. Me and my- [But he can't really remember his father either bye knows he had one but the actual details of that person are gone.]

Is it not weird like this for you?

[killingtodeath]

We go to the same school. Went. Guess high school isn't really top priority now.

[nepotism]

So how are you doing with all the pomp and circumstance?

[oftheband]

Think he's more stubborn than all that, personally. We'll find him cowering in a foxhole below ground.

[flyingsolo]

Hiding is a strong word.

[shootfirst]

Uh, damn right you're kidding. I don't know where your mouth has been.

[wynn]

Your intelligence on the Slovechnian slaves helped us to discover another shipment that wound up in the Caribbean. I'd be grateful for anything else you might uncover.

[easily]

Sir Lis'sa. [Rebekah takes a sip of her own drink now.] I haven't met her yet though.

[easily]

A little piano, but hardly enough to be in a band. [Just stuff she's picked up over the years, mostly.]

[bittersweeter]

[ she is not swayed by this charm of his... but she gives in anyway because she has zero tolerance for tall, adorable dumbasses. maybe it's just positive reinforcement. a for effort or something. reality is that she's bored without faye so she sets her glass down and shrugs. ] Okay, fine, why the fuck not.
