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.

What me? No, no I'm normal, perfectly normal. King of normal, that's me. Look normal up in the dictionary and there's a picture of me wearing an 'I am normal' tshirt.

[ and he crit failed that bluff, so well done, Doctor. ]

[bowtimeandspace]

[ He thinks, long and hard, but somewhere in there he's brushing it off. There are so many stories, but they're in his past. They're the Doctor's stories, not John Smith. He deflates, just slightly. ]

Oh nothing important.

[necessaryevil]

You don't have to work so hard to convince anyone around here, you know.

[shootfirst]

I know that. I just don't wanna hear it anyway.

[flyingsolo]

You got it. You'll be the one fighting monsters next time.

[nepotism]

And I thought Susan had it rough.

[chessing]

Strength of will works much in the same way as bodily strength. Exercising it makes it only more powerful.

[socialgraces]

[ she follows val'drin's lead, gazing at him affectionately. she does spare a glance and smile in helen's direction as they leave, though. ] It was a pleasure, Helen, as always.

[chessing]

Not all creatures who come to this world mean to do no harm here. There are monsters and madmen from beyond that those of this world aren't naturally equipped to handle.

[socialgraces]

That seems the simplest way to go about it. However, there's always a chance that doesn't work, of course.

I'm sure there's someone around here that would be more specialized to teach you specific fighting styles. My focus is more on stealth and good aim.

[alwaysfaithful]

[Does this mean Chris is a little relaxed? Probably not but he gives her a small smile regardless.]

Something tells me I'll need the practice.

[theminotaur]

She just had institutional misogyny.

[asap]

[She shrugs, but she's smirking too much to really come off as modest.]

So what can you do?

[easily]

You're a witch? How refreshing, most witches I know aren't too fond of vampires.

[easily]

That's probably the smartest way to go. Sometimes easier said than done though.

[useagoodkiss]

[ She could easily go toe to toe with anyone, even Vader - though she has no memory of that happening. But she's relatively fearless in that regard. ]

Emperor Palpatine seized power over the Galactic Senate, he manipulated his way into that position, and he's been ruling over the galaxy as long as I've been alive. We were hoping to put a stop to it.

[useagoodkiss]

So you wouldn't confidently say I'm in the best of hands with him?

[immuno]

[ Her eyes darken slightly and she drops her gaze, considering. ]

That's only true as long as you're effective in resisting what it is you're using your willpower against. [ Her gaze lifts back to lock on his. This time, it's apparent she's not just humping his leg, but thinking of something else entirely. ] Sometimes it could just break you.

[theminotaur]

That sounds... bad. [ it's perhaps a gross understatement, but it's also pretty accurate, abigail figures. ] Do you know if you won or did you get here...? [ too soon? too late? ]

[bowtimeandspace]

[ That earns a slight glance towards him, and a touch of a frown. ]

That depends who it is you're trying to convince.

[ Like himself. He's rubbish at convincing himself. ]

[necessaryevil]

Or what you're trying to convince them of?

[druidisms]

Nah, people gotta call you your name, Stiles. It's your name. Cuss 'em out if you have to.

[druidisms]

You'll have to take that up with Helen.

[druidisms]

Your long life...? [ he looks her over because girl, you do not look old. you look young and gorgeous. ] Looking good on it.

[killingtodeath]

Uh... You're looking at it, mostly.
