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.

[ That seems... like several steps up. ] Sure thing, Chief.

[wynn]

Have you spoke to Sir Gilbert?

[unforgivably]

We shared a drink. [ He looks ahead again, finding Elena in the crowd. ] We have an understanding.

[wynn]

I imagine she is quite different from the woman you remember.

[unforgivably]

She is. [ He doesn't quite know what to say about that. It's true. ]

[wynn]

Be cautious in what you expect of her. Even those who know her best are not certain where all this has left her.

[unforgivably]

That won't be a problem. My own brother doesn't remember the girl he was madly in love with. [ One guess. He doesn't know what he'd been expecting. Not really. Everybody told him Elena is nothing like he remembers. But, he knows the fundamentals are all the same. ] She can take care of herself. [ What more should he want? She should be happy, first and foremost. And if it took her memory erased to have that... ]

[wynn]

Our newest Sir Salvatore is your brother, then.

[unforgivably]

Stefan's my younger, less handsome, less fun brother.

[wynn]

I'd suspected some relation. Fate, it seems, has brought you both together here.

[unforgivably]

A fate named Veil. [ Oh well. ] So, Elena shot Kyp. Did I hear that right?

[wynn]

She held the gun. But it was not her who pulled the trigger.

[unforgivably]

Plot twist. [ ... ] So, do I have to wait for next week's episode or...

[wynn]

A powerful psion, known as the Mind Master.

[unforgivably]

And the mind master is still out there, sort of the big bad of the moment?

[wynn]

One of several, as always.

[unforgivably]

One after the other. How long's it been since you've had a direct squire?

[wynn]

Very recently, as a matter of fact. A man called the Doctor.

[unforgivably]

... Of?

[wynn]

Perhaps you should ask him.

[unforgivably]

Sure, okay. So, next time you need me, you know where I am.

[wynn]

Very well, Sir Salvatore.
