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.

Uh.. teenager? Student? Lacrosse bench warmer?

[shootfirst]

Are they just letting everybody in these days?

[killingtodeath]

I would say it must have been my winning personality, but I'm not sure that plays much of a factor now.

[u r rude]

[shootfirst]

Hey, look, I didn't mean it like you're a tool bag or whatever. It just seems dangerous, sending high school students into the field.

[killingtodeath]

Wow, such confidence. [He just shrugs. He's used to people underestimating him.] So... what does that make you then?

[shootfirst]

Take your pick. Witch? Mage? Hacker.

[killingtodeath]

Please tell me you combine those for crazy hacking spells. And then tell me that you can teach me.

[shootfirst]

I can do a few neat tricks. It's not the same as like... a technomage. I mean, we have those too. But there are plenty of spells that involve computers. Anyone can learn. Though it helps if you're predisposed to magic.

[killingtodeath]

This place just got a little cooler. [GONNA LEARN MAGIC AWH YEAH.] Can you show me something? Not that it's a parlor trick or anything, but... I mean it sounds pretty awesome.

[shootfirst]

Sure. Check this out. [ she snaps her fingers at the buffet table, and all the abandoned glasses suddenly stack themselves up all neatly. this is some sword in the stone shit. ]

[killingtodeath]

[Stiles looks at the glasses. Then at her. Then at the glasses again. Back to Kat.]

How did you-? That's awesome! You're like a hot Marry Poppins.

[shootfirst]

Beats cleaning up my own room. And just the tip of the awesome iceberg.

[killingtodeath]

I am very interested in the awesome iceberg, for the record.

[shootfirst]

You wanna see something really cool?

[killingtodeath]

Yes. Definitely, yes.

[shootfirst]

We should probably go out back.

[killingtodeath]

[Stiles is like 75% sure he's going to see boobs or something. Which might explain why he is already half way to the door.]

[shootfirst]

Do you know what the best part of magic is? [ out into the night they go... ]

[killingtodeath]

Besides everything?

[shootfirst]

Gratuitous destruction.

[killingtodeath]

Don't take this the wrong way... but I think I love you.

[shootfirst]

You-- What? [ she turns to violently shove him, and crit fails and ends up slipping in some fucking mud because she whirled too fast and angrily and down she goes, whoops ]

[killingtodeath]

Whoa! Whoa, killer. Calm down. [He hesitates above her.] If I offer to help you up will that get me kicked in the nuts?

[shootfirst]

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

[killingtodeath]

[r u sure???]

Would you just- [against the better judgment of anyone else who is not stiles, he reaches out to try to grab her hand to pull her up.]
