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.

A couple a month? If that. Once in awhile we get a surge, but this has gotta be a record.

[recycling]

[ he hesitates, unsure of what to tell and what not to tell, but... ] I've just... had my fill of the mob, that's all.

[theminotaur]

Um, sure, yeah. [ she nods and stands up. ]

[mydesigns]

He seems good-natured. [okay a few more pets and he's done.] I brought one with me, too.

[mydesigns]

[it doesn't seem to bother him.] Using past tense is understandable.

[dragonsclaw]

It's a break from risking my life, at least. I consider that close enough.

[mydesigns]

Is that where the scar came from? [hashtag no tact.]

[immuno]

How Spartan of you.

[ at least he's not needy ... ]

[killmypatience]

[And Kate will lead the way out the door to the grounds themselves, taking a deep breath once they hit the fresh air. Out here it's a little less overwhelming, and a whole lot quieter.]

There. That's better.

[killmypatience]

Not everyone can pull off the habit. It was her signature look.

[bowtimeandspace]

Yes! And always a good idea that, a signature look! Always did try for one myself. Causes much less issue when wandering around M&S too.

[daredtobelieve]

I could certainly try. But I make no promises, John. I learned my lesson there a very long time ago.

[Oh, he's fun. And her eyes can't help that little mischievous twinkle that she always gets when she teases about her age in some manner. She doesn't hide it amongst the knights but it is fun to not give it away immediately with the new squires.]

[flyingsolo]

Does that mean you're avoiding someone?

[killingtodeath]

There was a druid. A bad druid. Sacrifices were happening all over town and we were trying to get back-- [The problem here is that his main motivation for that ritual was his father and he can't remember that guy, so it's all foggy.]

You really don't remember any of this?

[killingtodeath]

Wow, aren't you just the welcome wagon we've all been waiting for. That bad, huh?

[killingtodeath]

You're... [words stiles. use your words.] fast!

[killingtodeath]

Yeah. Anyway- I guess it's good that we both have people. Helps make it less new kid syndrome around here.

[valdrin]

You always did know how to pay a compliment.

[parsecs]

Yeah? [He glances around trying to spot the dog (spot 10).] Chewie must've smelled him on you.

[killingtodeath]

[BIGGEST GRIN EVER. NEW BEST FRIEND.]

Really? Because I would not say no to tree climbing. Just putting that out there.

[parsecs]

Gotta ship back home. [One he doesn't remember very well, but he knows he had a ship.] For traveling the stars. Not... the ocean. [It's weird that he even has to specify, but around here? The seas are more common to travel.]

[parsecs]

Who says I'm not? Maybe I just didn't feel like getting changed when I stopped by?

[killingtodeath]

Stiles. [Hey they can be nickname buddies.] Same to you, Max. I'm just excited to get started. Being... knightly. Or something.

[bowtimeandspace]

Did you really? Pity, that.

[ There's a smile of his own, and really he's supposed to be not-the-Doctor so he can hardly tease back in kind. But it's interesting, isn't it? There's more to her, he's sure of that. So much more. But then there's more to him too. Maybe they're even. ]

[killingtodeath]

Hey, teaching, I can do. It's the actual athletic ability that I tend to lack.
