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.

[Well that was something. A very huge something when you stop to consider the fact that Mikael has been the only person ever to make Klaus feel genuine fear. Well played, Rebekah, because his look of surprise quickly transforms into a much more pleased expression. Just learned you commited patricide? Have a smug little smile. What other reaction would make sense? Besides bitch tears but thankfully Klaus ain't even in the frame of mind to shed that shit atm.]

I think it's safe to say that he'd had it coming for some time now. [He will want details, of course, but some of this stuff could come later. He really just wants to know what the hell he's missed over the course of a year. It's going to be hard to top Mikael's death tho good luck.]

[easily]

You don't see me shedding any tears over it, do you? [No, that had been reserved for when she found out the truth about what he did to their mother -- and that was before their mother came back and ruined everything.

with parents like that is it any wonder they are every version of fucked up]

[asuma]

I should hope not. [But he's sure she ain't done, so carry on with your news Rebekah.]

[easily]

Let's see what else [Eventually she needs to tell him of Finn and Kol's death -- but not in public.]

The Five were still around -- we found the cure. Elena shoved it down Katherine's throat and from what I heard she died of rapid aging.

[asuma]

[Except this was all sounding like good news, and Klaus ain't that dumb (suspicion wisdom 21).]

What else. [He is basically expecting a huge blow after all of the cushioning she's doing tbh.]

[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

[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.]

[easily]

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

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

[asuma]

And how's that? [Still in the dark over here.]

[easily]

I somehow doubt there's a lot of women as pregnant as she is running around here.

[asuma]

[He shouldn't be surprised by this given that Rebekah just revealed that Hayley was pregnant, but he wasn't expecting she'd be arriving full-term. Or maybe he was just hoping who knows.

Congratulations, gurl, he doesn't even know what to say to this. Instead he stares at her as though trying to discern her sincerity because ... it souynded completely ridiculous ok.]

If this is some manner of game you're playing at-- [What? Yeah, it's more or less instinct for there to be a threat at the end of that sentence. But Rebekah had forgiven him (granted, it was after stabbing him in the chest, but still).]

[easily]

Please, if I were coming up with a game it would be a better one.

[This is too ridiculous to be made up, basically.]

[asuma]

I would certainly hope so. [But oh look, there is the little wolf now.]

If you'll excuse me, I think it's time I met the mother of my unborn child.

[Klaus plans to get to the bottom of this shit so he will finish catching up with you afterward, gurl.]
