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.

You don't see me shedding any tears over it, do you? [No, that had been reserved for when she found out the truth about what he did to their mother -- and that was before their mother came back and ruined everything.

with parents like that is it any wonder they are every version of fucked up]

[trebond]

Mm. Too advanced, perhaps. [ She finishes her wine and sets it aside. ] I can't help but notice that you question your motives and yet remain in my company all the same. Some might call that a sign of insanity.

[druidisms]

[ a for effort, i guess. gus gives in, however unwillingly. he casts summon nature's ally and a small, grey wolf appears next to him. it growls for a second before gus leans down and scratches it's neck, muttering soothing words until it relaxes. (handle animal 22) ] That's the only wolf I can do.

[ because he sure as shit isn't jumping into wild shape at a party. ]

[easily]

The veil. Right. I somehow feel lucky it hasn't affected me more. Or I don't think it has.

[easily]

Well, you're save here. I won't let anything happen to you.

[Rebekah was in a coffin when Lord of the Rings came out, she doesn't know what that is :( But she'll play along and pretend like she does...]

Do people know what caused the change?

[easily]

Doppelgangers. [Rebekah's nose wrinkles at the word. Yes, this is what she lazered in on.]

They're always problems.

[beatemup]

[Congratulation, Gus. You just made into the top of Max's favorite people in the whole Knighthood. Not that you get a prize with it. Just a little bit better treatment maybe.] Awesome! Less ghastly than I expected but still, that's really fuckin' cool. [He kneels down trying to pet the wolf. Maybe someone should tell him that wolves are not domesticated animals.]

[killmypatience]

[She nods in agreement.]

No wasting time. In, out, done.

[allmydreams]

Around. A good friend of mine is getting married in a few days, so I've mostly been getting ready for that.

[generaldavideus]

[He shrugs a bit.]

I haven't met anyone who doesn't know me. Beyond that ... I'm fairly certain I remember most of it. Just a few people who are a little fuzzy.

[bowtimeandspace]

Ah yes! Like flowers or a poster of a popular musical performer?! [ it's such an interesting idea to him, never something he's really gone with. Not really had his own room. Not that he had ever really been short of them in the TARDIS ]

[ironsides]

Seems like the sort of thing best left a surprise. I suppose 'Dovania' isn't as popular among non-dwarves, so I'm fresh out of suggestions.

[immuno]

And you were as accommodating then as you are now. [ She certainly won't complain about it; she's personally benefiting from how accommodating he is. ]

[bowtimeandspace]

Banana. [ he's honestly thinking about it. ] Well I do like bananas. Not quite sure how much it suits me, though.

[bowtimeandspace]

He isn't sure exactly what he's said that might have upset her, but he knows for certain something has. Her reaction tells him a lot about her, but he simply files all that aside for now because none of it is what matters.

Instead, his hand reaches out and touches gently to her arm, frowning a little as he stalls her.

"Hey, no, hey. You don't have to go."

[bowtimeandspace]

Oh here and there. [ but he's not even trying to play that down, not with the smirk on his face. ] I've been around a while. Surprising what you learn along the way.

[socialgraces]

I'll take both, and... that's part of what I do, I suppose. My specialties are usually reduced down to a blanket label of 'espionage'. [ and she raises an eyebrow, because she's aware of just how exciting that sounds ]

[bowtimeandspace]

Fabulous! We can all three of us go then! [ bless. he really has no idea, does he? ]

[bowtimeandspace]

And there are a few of those around here, I take it?

[bowtimeandspace]

Oh happiness is never easy. People always think it is, but it's not. It doesn't take much to look past a smile and see how difficult it really is to make.

[sorceresslite]

Well, you're rather tall and thin. All brown and yellow. ..so.

[trebond]

I wonder: has anyone ever told you that you're terribly dreary?

[bowtimeandspace]

Oh no, no you should always waste time. Especially when you haven't got any. You never know what might happen.

[bowtimeandspace]

[ It probably shouldn't seem to strike as much as it does, but it's so in contrast to what people usually say about him, it seems to cut sharply. He doesn't really know who he is any more. His expression falls a little, and his old eyes look sad. ]

No. No I can't say they have.
