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.

Why don't you pass some of that over when you're done, pal.

[unforgivably]

[ alcohol, damon can share and share he does, setting out and pouring a second glass ]

[likedillinger]

Don't tell me they cut out your tongue for talking smack about the Queen here or something. [ js. you're awfully quiet. ] Or is that just some extra-strength brooding going on?

[unforgivably]

FY Information, my brother is the one who refills his prescription in Extra Strength Brooding weekly. [ He indicates Stefan with his glass. ] He dropped in while I dropped out. [ Funny how that works. ] And, second FYI, I'm feeling pretty damn good. [ Just stalking his brother and less so, Elena. ]

[likedillinger]

[ haha his face darkens at the mention of angst-inducing brothers but he follows damon's gaze to stefan. ] Just couldn't quit this place, or what?

[unforgivably]

[ Elena was found. ] I got used to a style I've become accustomed to.

[likedillinger]

Went from cushy bedrooms to a cardboard box, huh.

[unforgivably]

[ Well, making his way in a world he doesn't exist isn't as easy as living always has been for him. He knows this deep down even if he has nothing tangible to illustrate it. This way, he has resources at his fingertips. ] I'd also rather be under the same roof as my brother. [ And, again, Elena. Keep an eye on them. Even though Stefan's usually the one who keeps tabs on Damon and reins him in. ]

[likedillinger]

[ he studies damon for a moment, suddenly thoughtful. ] And why's that.

[unforgivably]

Oh, I don't know, I spent three months without the guy, but if that's not a good enough answer, how does brotherly love sound?

[likedillinger]

Brotherly love. [ hahaha he repeats the words as if they are just personally weighted with all the sadness and bitter anger of the cosmos. ] Yeah.

[unforgivably]

Not a big fan of the sibling bond?

[likedillinger]

Long story.

[unforgivably]

One you remember. [ Just putting that into perspective. ] Look, I'm not a shoulder to cry on or an ear, but, I suddenly find myself with all the time in the world and even I'm curious about your brother story.

[likedillinger]

Yeah, well, I came here to drink. Not to swap campfire stories.



My brother's here too. Sam. You know him?

[unforgivably]

[ Look at Dean opening up. ]

Nope. [ Not much to say there. He probably arrived on the scene after Damon left. ]

[likedillinger]

Hard to miss. He tends to stick out over a crowd, if you get my drift.

[unforgivably]

[ not a hard riddle to solve. in search of the elusive stick, damon's eyes again find elena, his brother and (spot 12) a taller guy. possibly one of the tallest in the room. ] He's taller.

[likedillinger]

Round of applause for Mr. Obvious over here.

[unforgivably]

I know what you were getting at. [ MOVE ON. What's up with you two? ]

[likedillinger]

Yeah, well. That's him. [ lmao did you expect

more

(unsure) ]

[unforgivably]

Five star story.

[likedillinger]

I don't remember promising you one.

[unforgivably]

I'll take that as your IOU.

[likedillinger]

I don't owe you nothing.
