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.

One of them has a hook for a hand and everything.

[beatemup]

Great! Time to energize these muscles. See ya later, pal. [And he leaves toward the buffet table, getting ready to sweep all the food.]

[beatemup]

Seriously? Cool! Show me one of your tricks. Oh! I know what would be awesome. I always want to see a spirit wolf. Summon one for me, will ya? [He looks at him with glimmering eyes full of expectation, like a puppy waiting to be fed, except this one has the face of an orc.]

[beatemup]

Advice? No, no advice yet. He just gave me his approval. I can use the things in the castle for my purpose as long as I don't have any plan to hurt innocent lives. Well, how about you? Have any advice for me? [He just takes the whole matter lightheartedly and he shows it with his cheerful smile and voice.]

[ironsides]

Why, that'll be the easy bit. Don't remember ever knighting someone quite so far along before!

[asuma]

[And guess who has been stalking her ever since he'd gotten word that another squire had just been sworn in under the same as him? Klaus watches her for some time because he's ... fucking weird, I can't even make excuses for this bitch, before he finally approaches her. From behind because he likes to make a dramatic entrance.]

Sir Mikaelson, was it?

[ex_noble101]

[Aedan is pinged by Hayley's familiar appearance moreso than the fact that she is obviously pregnant, which is probably what would single her out to most. But she looks a lot like Faye, and he knows Faye. Obviously.

Assuming they might be related, he decides to mosey on over and introduce himself.]

Welcome to the knighthood. I'm Aedan. [Smile~ I ain't even rolling for charisma he is just naturally visibly appealing because Henry Cavill ok.]

[killingtodeath]

Virgins. [IT WAS A SCARY TIME FOR HIM OKAY.] But later it was all kinds of people. Melissa. [which he knows but not as Scott's mom. And that's weird.] Allison's dad. We were trying to find them, to stop her, but I ended up here instead.

[The ramifications of this are a bit terrifying.]

[easily]

Not much, I can't remember why he called me. But it had to be important.

[They hadn't parted on the best of terms, after all. Leave and never come back is what she was told.

What could have changed that?]

[easily]

[Her brother is stalking her? Must be Tuesday tbh. But for once Rebekah is at least...not in a completely fowl mood to see him and might even smile a little as she turns to face him.]

It is. Though I've heard rumors there's two of us.

[witchwoman]

Well, if you can make a few small connections, then the larger groups might not seem so daunting. It's about finding something to ground you. Believe me- when I first got here, I wanted to hide from the world. I'd never seen so many people in one place.

[She shakes her head, smile looking more forced] In a lot of ways, I've gone right back to that, so maybe I'm not the best person to give advice on the matter.

[asuma]

Funny you should mention. [Surprise, it's me. If she ... hadn't figured it out.

But then that little smile of hers tells him that unlike most, she must have retained at least enough of her memories to recognize him. And since she was playing along rather than recoiling at the sight or him or, you know, actively trying to murder him, her current mood must be far better than he'd expected it would be.]

How long has it been? [Since you showed up here, since you've been undaggered--she's really free to choose and interpret that question as she sees fit.]

[daredtobelieve]

[oh hey girl. helen gives francesca a bright, welcoming smile.]

Oh, nothing important, dear. [She waves a hand to brush that topic aside.] You look absolutely stunning tonight.

[valdrin]

[ his fingers brush against her back as he affords her a proud smile. ] Doesn't she? Although 'tonight' would imply that was unusual.

[killingtodeath]

[This can just be my character that ~never knows the truth~ okay.]

Harrison. Nice to meet you. Call me Stiles. [You don't have a choice. He doesn't remember his first name suckaaaaaa.]

[killingtodeath]

This place just got a little cooler. [GONNA LEARN MAGIC AWH YEAH.] Can you show me something? Not that it's a parlor trick or anything, but... I mean it sounds pretty awesome.

[hisgoldenticket]

[ forever scrunchy faced. ] Is there a sect with no one in it? I'm not sure I even fit in any of them.

[killingtodeath]

Not sure if 'thank you' or 'you're welcome' would be more appropriate then. So is that what you do around here? Get people out of trouble? [How does one be a knight???]

[nepotism]

I'm sure we can find one for you. What do you like doing?

[hisgoldenticket]

[ stealing will's dog. ] I don't know.

[shootfirst]

Sure. Check this out. [ she snaps her fingers at the buffet table, and all the abandoned glasses suddenly stack themselves up all neatly. this is some sword in the stone shit. ]

[consequence]

Thanks, though I'm pretty sure they just made an exception so that they don't have to make me go through all of that with a screaming infant at my side. [Her tone is light, trying to make a joke out of her more than obvious state.]

I'm Hayley. [Because she does have manners.]

[witchwoman]

I did. I don't know how I did, though. [She's stronger than she thinks, but all she can think of is that she had wanted to die so badly.] If Jack and Thomas hadn't shown up when they did...

[consequence]

[Now that she's swallowed that food, she nods her hand moving to rest to her belly.]

Have you ever had anyone knighted that was pregnant before?

[consequence]

Maybe he just realized that we need more help. I don't know who attacked the bayou, but people are hurt. If they were after me, they're going to have a harder time with me not there.
