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.

[doubletake]

Well, no worries there. There's a few of us that fit into that category.

[She plays well with...some others, at least. Remember when she was a much better team player?]

Nothing wrong with a little change.

[#doppelganger humor]

[watchmaker]

[he gets the joke, if his smile back is anything to go by.] I'll say. Besides, after awhile, Chicago just gets ... boring. I was over it.

[doubletake]

I wouldn't know. I can't say that I've ever been. That I remember anyway.

[Veilnesia, yay.]

Is that where you met Lila? When she was on that mission in Chicago?

[watchmaker]

Yeah. I was — well, I was posing as a crime scene investigator.

[doubletake]

It was an interesting little group they sent out there. I may have heard a thing or two about it.

[Considering her ex-best friend had gone. :)]

[watchmaker]

I met all of them, but Lila's the only one who really stuck with me. [and sort of eric. and aurelius. he guesses.]

[doubletake]

[The corner of her mouth pulls up.]

I'm sure one of them would be disappointed to hear that.

[Rose.]

[watchmaker]

What's that supposed to mean? You think I have fans?

[doubletake]

I think there was a girl there who likes to leave an impression on everyone, whether good or bad. I'm sure she'll be so pressed you don't remember her.

[watchmaker]

Sorry. [doesn't sound even a little bit apologetic.] My attention was mostly on Lila.

[doubletake]

Oh, please, don't even. I just think it's funny.

[She crosses her arms over her chest.]

A word of advice, though. I know Lila told me, but I'd keep the whole shifting thing to yourself. You probably know this already, but a lot people around here kind of hate it.

[watchmaker]

Don't worry. I like to keep my cards close to my chest. It's not the only thing I can do.

[doubletake]

Well, now you've got me all curious.

[watchmaker]

Careful, curiosity killed the cat.

[doubletake]

Hasn't happened yet.

[watchmaker]

Get too close to me and it might.

[doubletake]

I dunno. Lila seems pretty close, and she's still in one piece.

[She shrugs.]

Besides, I've probably tangled with worse. And that's not meant to be an insult, by the way. This bitch was scary.

[Fucking Mind Master.]

[watchmaker]

She's special, too. [he shrugs back. not that elena isn't special! but. yeah.]

Bitch? [he quirks an eyebrow, interested.]

[doubletake]

That she is.

[She's not debating that, okay.]

Called the Mind Master. Makes telepathy look like child's play.

I LOST THIS i'm garbage :[ /replies late

[watchmaker]

Is telepathy all she can do?

[doubletake]

Not even kind of. She was using some kind of mental domination, forcing me to follow her orders. She was gloating about how she could make me kill myself if she wanted to, and I sure as hell believed her.

[watchmaker]

[well sylar certainly is intrigued by all this....] Do you think she's human? Or something else?

[doubletake]

Something else. Definitely. Between the freaky reptile eyes and her whole "you wouldn't want to see what I really look like" threat, human she is not.

[watchmaker]

So, are you thinking maybe Yuan-ti, or even less human? Some sort of monster in a human suit?

[doubletake]

I have literally no idea. Pretty sure I only saw the eyes because she wanted me to.

Do Yuan-ti usually have over-the-top psychic powers?
