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.

[ she smiles, and it's almost flirtatious ] Oh, there's no one quite like me.

[socialgraces]

I suppose you're right. [ she pulls back from the hug completely now, putting some appropriate distance between them ] I'm always around, if you need to talk. Or even if you just want some company.

[flyingsolo]

With who?

[hisgoldenticket]

Psychiatrists? [ she catches on quickly that it might be lost in translation thing so she elaborates in the simplest terms. ] Brain doctor?

[ sure. that works. ]

[easily]

[A lot of the bigger blows she might keep to herself but considering Hayley is here...]

It turns out that you breaking the hybrid curse came with certain advantages we were unaware of

[nepotism]

What about in the off season?

[necessaryevil]

I take it you're a little left of normal yourself, then?

[ironsides]

I take it ye remember your world well, then?

[chessing]

I'm not certain it's comparable, no. It's more about... feeling that one has a place where they can feel comfortable to be themselves.

[asuma]

I don't suppose you'd care to elaborate? [Gurl he has been patient ok. He wants the deets.]

[easily]

Well, for starters the next time you find some pretty young thing you should probably use a condom. [This is sage advice, ok.]

There's a girl from home here, her name is Hayley, she's a werewolf, and you managed to knock her up because apparently the werewolf side of you makes your sperm still viable somehow. Don't ask me, it still doesn't make a whole lot of sense and yet here we are.

[asuma]

[Wow, Rebekah. Wow. Just put it all out there. Klaus is just like what even. Because, seriously, what even...

Give him a moment to process this ok. Because he would think she's joking if it weren't for the fact that she seems entirely serious rn.]

This girl--Hayley. You say she's here? [Read: "Is she with child?" basically.]

[asuma]

[Klaus doesn't exactly seem surprised by this. He may not be in a place where he feels the need to murder her or his child (assuming it was his child), but that didn't mean he was in a place where he was willing to accept it on her word alone either. Well, her word and Rebekah's--who was known for being easily influenced, let's be real.]

Perhaps not. [Which is to say, perhaps they would. There was the flip side of this argument, after all. Yes, they had their enemies, but Klaus and his family could offer a hell of a lot to anyone who managed to gain their favor.]

[easily]

[Look he wanted the deets, she's giving them.]

She is. It'll be quite difficult to miss her. [Pregnant belly and all.]

[ex_defenestratings377]

Baseball.

[ex_defenestratings377]

[ oh wow. abigail apparently missed him when she was staring at her hands, so this is wow. he's.... wow. her eyes widen adorably. ] He's gold.

[easily]

Not exactly -- at least from my world it isn't. My family were the first vampires -- hence Original

[beatemup]

I guess no one is. Umm...In a good way, of course. Like no one has a face as pretty as yours. [He freezes and smiles awkwardly. He doesn't flirt or get flirted a lot, okay? Almost never. You'll have to forgive him for his lack of... finesse.]

[dragonsclaw]

I'm afraid you'll be disappointed, if that's what you're looking for. [ it's said gently but firmly, ever so polite. ]

[shootfirst]

I don't need help! [ she tries to get up and... slips. ahaaha ]

[flyingsolo]

Like a therapist, or a neurosurgeon?

[socialgraces]

Why, thank you. [ she ducks her head a bit at the compliment, still grinning ] I don't mean to make you uncomfortable, by any means, so please stop me if I do.

[nepotism]

Do I look like a baseball guy to you?

[shootfirst]

Like first ever? So you know how vampires were made?

[hisgoldenticket]

Therapist.
