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.

Come on, Winchester, don't make me define "friend" for you.

[likedillinger]

I just didn't realize we were at the making each other bracelets stage.

[watchmaker]

Well golly, I guess I forgot to make you one. [eyeroll tbh] Don't read too much into it, just take it for what it is.

[likedillinger]

Yeah, yeah. You look like more of a matching locket guy, really.

[watchmaker]

Is this the 1880s? Do you want a lock of my hair in it, too?

[likedillinger]

Or get one of those fancy portraits painted. You know, one where you're holding up a parasol.

[watchmaker]

Yeah, no. That's not happening. You had better luck with the lock of hair.

[likedillinger]

What a shame.

[watchmaker]

Yeah. [ok pause being dumbasses for a moment.] Look, I'm sorry I lied to you about my name. And ... whatever else. It was a self-preservation thing, you get it.

[likedillinger]

Because of your [ he points a hand at his head and wiggles his fingers ] deal?

[watchmaker]

Yeah, that.

[i mean ... he's not wrong ...... ]

[likedillinger]

[ dean squints at him a bit, thoughtful ] No skin off my back.

[ OR IS IT ]

[watchmaker]

Just trying to keep things open between us. With, you know, the friendship.

[likedillinger]

Let's just keep the hugs to a minimum, alright?

[watchmaker]

Something we can agree on.

[likedillinger]

So, when do you think we get to sneak a peek at their arsenal?

[watchmaker]

I think it's part of the intro tour.

[likedillinger]

Can't say I'm complaining about getting my hands on some of those Bond gadgets.

[watchmaker]

I could get Lila to give us an advanced peek, if you're interested.

[likedillinger]

If she's into playing Bond Girl, ring her up.

[watchmaker]

On it. [so he texts lila from across the room to see if she wants to show him and dean the weapons room. romance in the year of our lord 2014, people.]

[bittersweeter]

[ one bond girl, coming up. lila just up and peaces out from whomever she was talking to and flutters over to her boys. ]

Ladies. I hear you need a tour guide this evening?

[likedillinger]

I heard you've got the keys to the good stuff.

[watchmaker]

If you'd be so kind.

[bittersweeter]

Anything for my boys. [ casually claims them both in a move no one was surprised by. ] Follow me, baby squires.

[ AND OFF SHE TROTS. ]
