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.

Our organization seeks to help defend those from beyond the Veil, and also defeat dangerous men and monsters who come through it. It's perhaps only natural that we attract a large amount of members from among those displaced from their own worlds, yes. How much they remember varies quite widely.

[shootfirst]

Beats cleaning up my own room. And just the tip of the awesome iceberg.

[asuma]

[What is shit he never expected to hear for 500, Alex? Klaus does his best to keep from reacting to the revelation, but given his 9 will save was sub-par, it should be fairly obvious to her that he is not exactly moved to joy by this news.

Nothing to see here. Just a brother and sister holding hands and staring intensely at one another.]

Go on.

[nepotism]

You know, in our line of work, not getting eaten is a pretty marketable skill.

[msattentionspan]

[She nods.]

It makes sense. Just sucks. Being somewhere new and not knowing who you were.

[consequence]

[Nothing modern for her except that one time they checked the heartbeat.]

Because a powerful witch told me and I can sort of feel it. I can feel how strong she is.

[ex_noble101]

I see. [That actually seemed to make a lot more sense to him.]

Do you also use magic? [Because Faye sure does.]

[consequence]

Magic? No. I'm a werewolf. We don't use magic. My baby -- she's a quarter witch though. But, I'm not really sure if that means she'll be able to do magic or not.

[dragonsclaw]

Perhaps one reason why so many are glad to find others who share their plight and understand it here.

[ex_noble101]

[He doesn't seem all that surprised. There were werewolves and mages where he comes from so it's not like this was a shocking revelation.]

It sounds as thought she has an impressive background. I can't wait to meet her.

[fixyourproblem]

[Rude! Brantley loves his homeworld, just because yours is too far advanced doesn't mean this one is backwater.] Oh. We'll get there. I heard some of the space programs are going well. In a couple of decades we can colonize Mars already.

[beatemup]

[Yeah, that was him asking nicely. He used interrogative form, didn't he? He really wants to see the spirit wolf, so instead of barking back at him, he tries to ask him again. (will 15)] Uh...? Please do that summoning trick for me? [He is so not used to this. (diplomacy 6)]

[easily]

[Time to mix in some...goodish news.]

You do manage to kill our father.

[easily]

There are new surprises everyday, apparently.

[shootfirst]

Tell me about it. Everyone used to come through the Veil from the same dimension, at least - the Shadow World. Very Lord of the Rings. But over the last few years, things have gotten hella weird. It's like the dimensional floodgates opened up.

[flyingsolo]

I guess no matter our lot was, it's gonna sound better to be on the other side.

[dragonsclaw]

The lessons? Or the days of my youth?

[ironsides]

Challenges are what we live for here, lass! So do you know what it's going to be?

[asuma]

[Well that was something. A very huge something when you stop to consider the fact that Mikael has been the only person ever to make Klaus feel genuine fear. Well played, Rebekah, because his look of surprise quickly transforms into a much more pleased expression. Just learned you commited patricide? Have a smug little smile. What other reaction would make sense? Besides bitch tears but thankfully Klaus ain't even in the frame of mind to shed that shit atm.]

I think it's safe to say that he'd had it coming for some time now. [He will want details, of course, but some of this stuff could come later. He really just wants to know what the hell he's missed over the course of a year. It's going to be hard to top Mikael's death tho good luck.]

[trebond]

Perhaps you know as well as I that you could do with being humbled.

[immuno]

One's just a way of asking for the other.

[chessing]

They first began about twenty-nine years ago. My mother thought eight was a good age to learn.

[twinfucker]

Hmm, no, that doesn't sound like me at all. Probably not that.

[consequence]

She does. [Hayley smiles, feeling that sense of pride well up within her.]

I can't wait to meet her either.

[consequence]

A girl. [Hayley smiles with the reply.] I haven't thought of a name, though, if you were thinking of asking.
