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.

[ she follows like a good little lamb and nods at his question/comment. ] Yeah. But most of them seem friendly? [ at least abigail has had good luck so far. solace and fred and belle were not bad introductions to the knighthood. ]

[killingtodeath]

Definitely. The guy they squired me to? Totally scary looking, but he's like a teddy bear. A... half-dragon teddy bear.

[theminotaur]

[ her eyes widen minutely. ] Half-dragon teddy bear... how, um. How is a half dragon even possible? [ who... would be... having sex with a dragon???? ]

[killingtodeath]

You know, I haven't asked. And I'm not sure if I want the answer. But it's that guy. [Stiles points him out bc really do you need a spot check to see him? He sort of sticks out.]

[ex_defenestratings377]

[ oh wow. abigail apparently missed him when she was staring at her hands, so this is wow. he's.... wow. her eyes widen adorably. ] He's gold.

[killingtodeath]

Yep. And really nice. but yeah- also gold.

[ex_defenestratings377]

[ ... ]

Wow.

[ ... yep, that's it. ]

[killingtodeath]

What about you? Who's your mentor?

[ex_defenestratings377]

Belle Desrosiers. I don't know if she's here.

[killingtodeath]

Is she nice at least? I'm guessing you've at least talked to her?

[theminotaur]

She is. [ /assumes they've met, dwi. the library is nice, abigail frequents it. they have to have met. IM GOING WITH IT. besides, who doesn't love belle? no one. she is the most lovable. ] I like her.

[killingtodeath]

That's the most important part, right? Everyone seems pretty nice. Just... sad.

[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

[killingtodeath]

That's... Wow. Makes you realize that this knight thing is really serious.

[ex_defenestratings377]

Sort of.

[killingtodeath]

What? You don't think so?

[theminotaur]

No, I was agreeing. [ well, maybe you should, idk, be less monotone, abigail. just a thought. ]

[killingtodeath]

Oh. [He'll figure out how to speak Abigail soon enough.] You know people don't agree with me a lot.

[theminotaur]

Why not?

[killingtodeath]

Not sure. I think it's partly to do with the fact that I tend to let my mouth get ahead of me. Makes me seem like I don't know what I'm talking about.

[lurings]

Being a teenager doesn't help, probably. [ a beat. ] How old are you?

[killingtodeath]

Sixteen. You? [She seems young-ish. But he's not the best judge.]

[lurings]

Eighteen. [ but her birthday is in a few months! ]

[killingtodeath]

[Stiles would have guessed younger tbh.]

Cool. But yeah- I guess age has something to do with it. And I can be kind of all over the place. But it works for me. Part of my charm.

[hisgoldenticket]

[ she dresses to be underestimated tbh. ] You seem kind of hyperactive. [ and abigail is the stiad opposite. ]
