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.

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. ]

[killingtodeath]

ADHD, yeah. Guess I should probably talk to Wynn about how to get my prescription transferred from the other side of the Veil, huh?

[theminotaur]

You could probably just talk to Sir Solace.

[killingtodeath]

Which one is he again? [new kid syndrome meep.]

[theminotaur]

The bald one. [ who looks like gandhi. ] He's the head of the Dragon's Light.

[killingtodeath]

Mr Clean is a pharmacist? Interesting.

[lurings]

He doesn't have an earring. [ dork. ]

[killingtodeath]

Maybe he's leading a double life as a mascot and/or superhero for messy homes across England.

[theminotaur]

He doesn't strike me as mascoty. [ FOR REALS, STILES. the man is the definition of stoic. ]

[killingtodeath]

Well, if he did, it wouldn't be a secret identity, would it?

[lurings]

Now you're just being silly.

[killingtodeath]

It's kind of my thing.

[theminotaur]

Being silly? You were probably the class clown. [ a beat. ] Bet that says something about you.

[killingtodeath]

Like what? That my superior comedic timing is wasted on a crowd like this?

[ex_defenestratings377]

Like your humor masks insecurities and a desire to be wanted. [ so calm. guess she forgot to mention she doesn't pull punches. ] And your superior comedic timing is wasted on a crowd like this.

[killingtodeath]

You know, you're sort of like one of those sour patch kids commercials. But in real life.

[lurings]

Thanks. [ honesty is a virtue. abigail is very honest.

/laugh track.

but everyone likes sour patch kids, so. she wins. ]

[killingtodeath]

Anytime. [He doesn't really get her but she's interesting.] I'm gonna go check out the food? Wanna come with?

[ex_defenestratings377]

Actually... [ she shakes her head. ] I'm gonna go see -- [ she nods toward will. she's gonna see her fake dad. ] It was nice to meet you. You know, when you weren't on the floor.

[ in case you forgot you fell. :) ]
