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.

Nothing. [ shrug. she's so helpful. ]

[graveflowers]

[ snort. ] You are the cutest thing I have ever met.

[mydesigns]

It's good to meet someone who understands. Or at least ... sort of understands.

[hisgoldenticket]

Apparently one of the Dragon's Claws is being held hostage. [ mini info dump. ] He's probably being tortured, so... I think we might be lucky anyone showed up at all

[hisgoldenticket]

...like Captain Hook? [ yep. sorry. in the real world there are only two recognizable pirate captains, hook and jack. ]

[hisgoldenticket]

[ a for effort, abigail is just going to... focus on her food. ]

[killingtodeath]

It can't hurt anything? It'll get your mind off things. [diplomacy 26. c'mon. c'mooooooon.]

[killingtodeath]

Okay but you actually mean nothing right? Not like 'nothing' where I am expected to psychically guess what you want most in the world and get it for you without any clues?

[immuno]

So would recreational drug use, and yet ... that's not quite enough to make it tempting.

[ Despite her smug dismissal, she immediately links her arm with his and begins to drag him towards the dance floor because her crit failed will save means that she's not even considering playing hard to get any further rn. ]

[bittersweeter]

Nothing nothing. I don't like presents, I always have to return them, it's a waste.

[killingtodeath]

[killingtodeath]

I can dig it. Alright, so I'll just show up and bring the party. Got it.

[bittersweeter]

I haven't even invited you yet. I said stick around, maybe it just meant stick around so you can feel excluded.

[killingtodeath]

Well. I'm bringing the party regardless. It can be up to you if you're into that.

[bittersweeter]

Cute. You are cute.

[ The song is meant for a waltz, but Lydia treats it like any slow song. Her arms wrap around Stiles' shoulders and she doesn't really bother leaving room for Jesus. Although she's better than your average bear, she doesn't put any exceptional effort into pulling out the moves here. Classical training or not, she's simply not in the mood for showing off (dance 14). ]

[killingtodeath]

[Know who saved his best moves to try to impress her????

This guy. Perform dance 21. Awh yeah.]

I'm glad you're here. All of this is- I don't know. Easier- knowing I have someone who gets it.

[immuno]

Everyone here gets it, Stiles. That's why we're here.

[ Oh are they talking now. She draws back just slightly to meet his gaze. Briefly, her eyes flicker down to give him a once over—it's the only indication she gives that she's surprised by his ability.

Some of the hardness ebbs out of her expression for a moment. She won't say it, but ... she's glad, too. ]

[easily]

Well, we all have a few of those.

[Rebekah has a few, but most she'd rather remember. Your memories are what make you -- bad and good.]

[easily]

My mother was a witch, so yes.

[generaldavideus]

[He nods a bit in agreement.]

I just think that while in some cases, it can be a bad thing - sometimes we shouldn't worry so much about what we're forgetting. Just focus on what we do.

[shootfirst]

No shit. Well that's pretty awesome. Which I can say with total authority, cuz I am one.

[generaldavideus]

It's still someone. Maybe with both of you being here, she can get over it?

[Maybe not in those words exactly, but he knows from experience (he thinks) that even people who hate each other tend to band together in unusual circumstances.]

[bowtimeandspace]

What, no, Myri dear no, he really can't be tamed. He looks at her, screwing his face up a little.

"What, not a fan of my moves?"

[bowtimeandspace]

"Yes maybe," he muses. It's interesting, actually, to be on the other end of it.

A grin starts to overtake any other expression then, a twist in his smile that lights his eyes.

"Oh so you like my angles do you, Doctor?"
