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.

After the war in Andres. I didn't have anywhere else to go and one of my buddies ain't hurtin' for stayin' here, so it seemed like a good idea at the time.

[So casual, as if that was the only reason.]

[unforgivably]

[ That Damon can understand. The casual reasons for staying. And returning. Though, with Elena's new attitude, one of those reasons has completely morphed into another - his brother. ] Me, I don't hate the amenities. The all access pass to any and everything. [ He gave that black card a workout with Lydia. ] Did you fall through the Veil? [ Can the Veil steal talking animals?

You have friends? Are they like you? WS of 13 means he does NOT ask these questions. God, he's trying so hard. ]

[beatupgrass]

About a year ago. [he scowls. he still doesn't like that freakin' thing, but he's had a year to adjust.] Did a lot of work as a bounty hunter before that went south real fast. And I had to adjust to bein' on this piece of shit planet.

[unforgivably]

So, you're not only from another dimension, but an entirely different planet. Huh.

[beatupgrass]

What gave me away? My looks or my disdain? [s-so sarcastic.]

[unforgivably]

Mostly the being a raccoon, but disdain came in at a close second.

[beatupgrass]

I'm not a freakin' raccoon. [of course he doesn't know what he is if he's not a raccoon, but he's very sensitive about it. especially now that he knows what a raccoon is.]

[unforgivably]

Sorry. Alien raccoon.

[beatupgrass]

See? That right there is why everyone hates this d'asted planet. [THAT ATTITUDE. THAT KNOW-IT-ALL ATTITUDE.]

[unforgivably]

Because everything not from our planet has a stigma attached? You really need a thicker skin. I'm a vampire, you don't think that comes with assumptions?

[beatupgrass]

The hell's a vampire?

[unforgivably]

Undead bloodsucker. I died. And I drink blood. There are also a myriad of other perks. Crack a book. [ DO RACCOONS READ? ]

[beatupgrass]

I don't care about all this mystical Shadowkind bullshit, okay. [I'm from SPACE. And not the Pathfinder version of space where everyone is a furry and rides dragons.] I got better things to read up on.

[unforgivably]

Girly mags only take you so far.

[beatupgrass]

[Rocket gives him a look of sheer disgust when he realizes the implication there. Ugh.]

Okay, that's just disgusting.

[unforgivably]

Yep. [ WUT ]
