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.

[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.]

[shootfirst]

[ w/e, she grudgingly lets him hoist her up, but now he's probably muddy too ] Ugh.

[killingtodeath]

[He doesn't mind the mud. He's just confused.] Okay, so what did I do? Because I would like to never do that again for both our sake's.

[shootfirst]

Then let's leave the L word out of the equation. [ and she'll use a clean spell on herself. all better. ]

[killingtodeath]

[How nice for her to be able to get clean :| ]

I was kidding. You know that right? I don't actually lo- [He stops himself and thinks about how much he values his life.] I don't actually feel that thing we aren't saying. For you. Because we just met. And I'm sure you're great, but you're kinda not my type.

[he doesn't really have a type. but you seem like a crazy person rn.]

[shootfirst]

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

[killingtodeath]

Okay! A little warning next time might be nice. So... what were you going to show me out here anyway?

[shootfirst]

Oh right. That. [ she raises her hands and a glowing pea-sized bead shoots out, heading for a lone tree across the garden. it smacks it and then explodes into a giant fireball with a dull roar. the flames light up the night grandly. ] Kaboom!

[killingtodeath]

[The way Stiles' jaw drops probably says it all, but give him a minute...

He starts to laugh, covering his mouth with shock and pure joy at the destruction.]

Are you kidding me?! That was bad ass!

[shootfirst]

Told you. [ she blows on her finger like she's putting out smoke on a gun ]

[killingtodeath]

[He might confess his love for her again, but now he knows she could literally blow his dick off. No thanks.]

Where do I sign up to learn how to do that? I will do whatever I have to in order to be that awesome.
