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.

There's only a few details fuzzy for me so far.

[easily]

Let's see what else [Eventually she needs to tell him of Finn and Kol's death -- but not in public.]

The Five were still around -- we found the cure. Elena shoved it down Katherine's throat and from what I heard she died of rapid aging.

[easily]

Well, that's not surprising. The theories most people come up for how the world works tend to be lame.

[shootfirst]

Good point. So what kind of cool stuff can you do? I mean, if the answer's nothing, that's ok too, I guess I sort of offended that one dude earlier.

[shootfirst]

You wanna see something really cool?

[easily]

I'm glad you aren't too.

[killingtodeath]

Neither was the giant suit of armor they had us walk in.

[ex_defenestratings377]

That's just ceremonial. Have you ever held a sword, they're really heavy. You might be better off with something smaller. Like a knife.

[killingtodeath]

This is- [He rests a hand on his forehead, trying to make sense of it.] Should we be worried? [did they make a mistake????]

[killingtodeath]

Yes. Definitely, yes.

[bluffcheck]

That's the truth of it. It's polite to come to them if you're mentoring one of the new ones, but that'll be a while off yet.

[witchwoman]

She's surprised by the question and it shows quite plainly on her face. Looking down at her hands, as if they might have the answers, she comes up short.

"I... Well, yes- from time to time."

[witchwoman]

I needed it just as badly as you did, I think. There's no need to thank me. Really.

[immuno]

What good is it gonna do? Stiles, we can't go back through the Veil. It's a one-way trip. It's up to Scott and Allison.

[shootfirst]

We should probably go out back.

[trebond]

Terrible things may happen, that’s one thing, but never? [ she shakes her head. ] If you aren’t happy, you aren’t where you need to be. Happiness is easy for happy people, and it’s hard not to be if you’re doing what you ought to be.

[trebond]

Oh, I wouldn’t dream of it.

[ Her nose crinkles in a half-scowl. ]

You won’t be changed. Perhaps I just want to watch you implode in your own stubbornness.

[immuno]

Oh, I'm well aware. [ she's appreciating your decorum a whole lot. ] It sounds like you don't ever stop, though. Let the decorum go.

[easily]

Is that something people do here, just talk about their abilities openly?

[Generally her status as a vampire isn't something she just...shares.]

[druidisms]

You first name must have been awful. [ solidarity boo. ]

[theminotaur]

[ um yes please a while off, like maybe never. never is when abigail would like to mentor people. heck, she would be happy staying a squire forever and never have anyone really depending on her. ] Are you mentoring anyone?

[sorceresslite]

Scummy bastard. [ her nose wrinkles. ]

[sorceresslite]

Oh but that's got a certain ring to it though, doesn't it?

[socialgraces]

You will. We will. [ she reaches for myri's hand right now, giving it a squeeze, unless she flinches away ]

[socialgraces]

I hope throughout your time here you find a more fulfilling reason to exist, one that will provide you with more than just the option of success or failure. [ she's not being judgmental, she just imagines it must be a terrible life if all you're hanging on for is killing a bunch of people. she pauses a moment to sip on her drink, musing. ] Perhaps that was part of Wynn's motivation, as well.
