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 || September 6th, 2014, 6:00PM
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.

[ Where some might be put off by the clear display of confidence, Alisha isn't. It reminds her a bit of people she used to know, and it makes her smirk just a little. She looks at her hand, touch is still something that feels a bit unnatural to her now after trying to avoid it for so long. But while there's a pause, she still reaches and takes her hand. ]

Alisha.

So you been here long?

[immuno]

All summer, but they still haven't sent us on a mission. You'll probably be waiting ages before they actually put you to work.

[ Ahahahahahaha. Oops. ]

[arrested]

Yeah well that's fine by me, yeah? Still trying to get used to this whole castle shit first. I keep thinking someone's gonna just pop out and tell me it's all some fucked up joke.

[immuno]

Don't be ridiculous. There's no good punchline to this.

[ She knows because she ... was greeted by five dead bodies coming into this world. ]

[arrested]

Yeah well most jokes usually aren't. Made up by twats who think they're hilarious, either that or just fucked up in the head. [ Nathan Young, she means you ]

So where you from. America, right? [ all these exotic American people, gosh ]

[immuno]

California. But ... not the California in this world, which makes the international adjustment the least jarring part of all of this.

[arrested]

Yeah, let me guess, one with less monsters and more episodes of 'The Hills' right?

[ shut up she loves that show. ]

[immuno]

Not exactly.

[ More monsters, really. She's seen more actual monsters in Beacon Hills than she has since coming here—the people in Wales weren't inhuman, they were just crazy. ]

[arrested]

[ That's Wales for you. People just tend to be that way. Sorry Wales. ]

So you like it here then? [ She crosses her arms over her chest. Not to be defensive but, all this shit is a bit much tbqh. ]

[immuno]

I like it better than the prospect of being a waitress in some backwater town in Wales. They have resources, and offer options to people like us.

[arrested]

People like us? [ Now that has her interested, and her attention lifted. ]

What do you mean, people like us.?

[immuno]

People from other worlds, who passed through the Veil.
