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 || October 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.

[When he asks where she works she gives him a glance and hopefully this sense motive of 22 will pick up on what he's doing there...]

The bar? No... I'm going to help you become a real boy. [GRIN]

The whole knight gig comes with a personal trainer and I'd be yours.

[ex_boning176]

[Yeah that's more than enough because he can't even roll higher than a 20 for shit until I do his character sheet. But he's immediately at ease when he realizes she's not here looking for her alcohol. He was told someone would teach him.]

Are you a werewolf?

[Did anyone fill Faith in on that little tidbit? If not, surprise! It's a boy/bb wolf cub.]

[msattentionspan]

[Nope. She probably didn't get filled in on that little bit, but that's cool. She's hung with Cora and she was down with Oz being on the once a month schedule.]

Nope, but I'm sure that I'll be able to keep up. [She's a magical girl...without any sparkles.

There's a pause and then she points to the bottle.]

Anything I should know about that bottle you're trying to keep me from checking up on?

[ex_boning176]

[Nice transition there, Faith. And here he thought he was in the clear, w e l p.

Looks at the bottle. Looks back up at Faith. Bluff: 5 omg his life.]

... No?

[msattentionspan]

[She sighs and reaches her hand out.]

Hand it over.

[ex_boning176]

[Sigh~ But he's not going to argue with her. He hands over the bottle, even if he doesn't look super stoked about doing so.

Honestly, he doesn't even know if he can actually get drunk anyway. The last time he tried it, Scott told him it wasn't possible but it sure as hell felt like he had been drunk.]

[msattentionspan]

[Faith takes it and sniffs it.]

Kinda ballsy to try and pull this off in a room full of people trained to sniff out this kinda thing. [Lying and concealment. Not alcohol.]

[ex_boning176]

It's not like I was hurting anyone.

[Liam, stahp. Nothing you can say will make it five by five lmao.]

[msattentionspan]

[Faith goes to sit next to him.]

Right, cause the people haven't offered to give you a place to crash, training to kick serious ass - probably sort out your werewolf shit - and you might as well just flip the middle finger at them as you try to pickle your liver.

[She shrugs and hands it back to him.]

You think it's all about you, go right ahead. Prove to all of them they were wrong about taking a chance on you. [Yeah, Faith's taking this job CEREAL.]

[ex_boning176]

[Way to actually be the voice of reason here, Faith.

Like, there is nothing he can even say to counter her arguments because she was making too much sense rn. It probably wasn't the most respectful thing in the world to waltz in here and try and get drunk just because when he'd been given the opportunity to be part of something.

Even if he was just trying to have fun at a party, the fact that he was sneaking around (well, trying to) probably didn't reflect well. But he's also still a kid so like while all of this rings true for the moment he still didn't see like any real harm in it.

But he passes back the bottle regardless. That stuff tasted nasty, whatever it was.]

I don't even think I can get a buzz anyway.

[msattentionspan]

Probably your metabolism... or if you heal fast. [She takes the bottle back from him.]

Mine does the same. It's a lotta effort for a really little result.

[She glances to him, still holding onto his drink - which she isn't even gonna touch. Who knows what he decided to mix for himself.] Look, I'm not the first person to sign up for group sing-a-longs or agree that people twice my age know what's best for me.

Just know that I'm not gonna do anything to screw you over. [She laughs a bit.] Because I am not about to be like the people that I never liked.

[ex_boning176]

[He looks a little confused, mostly because--]

Wait, I thought you said you aren't a werewolf.

[But it was good to know she wasn't going to uh, screw him over. He still didn't know her from Sally so he was a little apprehensive, but he had no reason not to trust her at this point. Which meant he'd be giving her the benefit of the doubt.]

[msattentionspan]

[Faith smirks.]

Hey, you don't get to be the only cool kid at the table with advanced healing. Mine's more magical - yours is probably biological.

[ex_boning176]

So you're like a fairy or something? [SOOKEH. But no that is the first magical thing that came to mind.]

[msattentionspan]

[Faith's eyebrows raise as she makes a face.] No... not a fairy. Back home it's called a Slayer. Enhanced strength, speed, healing -- the whole package so that I can go up against the things that go bump in the night.

[ex_boning176]

Like werewolves? [Look it was a legitimate question all things considered ok.]

[msattentionspan]

[Faith glances to him and shrugs.] It's on the list, but I've never been big on rules. See - Slayers had these mentors, but they weren't looking out for the Slayers, they were lookin' out for their own asses. Anything they didn't trust, didn't think could be safe about their actions - they wanted targeted.

Vampires, werewolves - anything that could be dangerous.

[Faith takes a breath.] I've met a werewolf, before the ones here, and he was pretty cool. In a band. I also helped rescue a werewolf here - Cora. So as long as you're not ripping people to shreds, we'll be five by five.
