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.

No, really! My town was built on a hellmouh. Which is... basically exactly what it sounds like. Mouth into hell. Very demon-y. My friends and I did the world saving thing against all kinds of crazy things because of it.

[ Willow, don't mind Alisha staring at you like you've started speaking in Klingon. She looks a little exasperated. ]

Jesus Christ is nobody here just normal?!

[olreliable]

I'm normal! I mean... I don't have any crazy... Superpowers or anything. I've been studying magic, though. I guess that's a little less than normal.

[arrested]

You said you live on a mouth into hell and you think that's normal?

[olreliable]

Well...no, but! Weird things can happen to normal people...right?

[arrested]

Think that probably stops you being normal, yeah? I mean normal people don't think, what was it you called it? 'A mouth to hell' is something to just chat about. Most people would think mouth to hell and run the fuck away.

[olreliable]

Well... I mean, okay- I guess yeah. But it's not like I ran towards it. One day I'm just a normal high school student and the next? Wham.

...Still a normal high school student but with a really cool friend with super powers.

[arrested]

[ She'd scoff at superpowers but... well... she'd know a thing or two about those. ]

Pretty sure that still ticks you off the normal list.

[olreliable]

Well... maybe it does, but- [Willow gives a little shrug.] Normal's overrated anyway. Right?

[arrested]

[ Is it? This look? This is a dubious look. ]

You know what I wouldn't give for just five minutes of normal yeah? [ She shakes her head. Done with this shit tbh. And now Knights. Seriously, Knights? ]

[olreliable]

So you're not either? Not normal?

[Isnt that interesting? Willow doesn't mind. She's used to not normal.]

[arrested]

[ She bristles. Even if she said it, that's apparently not the point. ]

Oy you calling me not normal?

[olreliable]

No! I just-! I mean, you said..!

[how did she end up the bad guy here? willow scrambles to find the train of thought that got them here.]

[arrested]

I said what? [ She's all bristley and affronted, which you wouldn't think would work on someone so short but apparently it does.
]
Just watch what you're sayin' yeah? [ Not that she had... actually said anything. ]

[olreliable]

[Willow gulps and nods, taking a step back. Better if she doesn't say anything else, right? Best way to watch what she says?]

Enjoy the... party?
