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.

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?

[watchmaker]

[he shrugs.] Not really my area of expertise ... they do seem more attune to that sort of thing, from what I've noticed. Not enough to make that sort of difference, though. I was just going off the whole reptile eyes thing.

[doubletake]

Huh. Maybe she's like their head honcho or something. Maybe even she doesn't know. For all we know she got bitch-slapped by the Veil, too.

[watchmaker]

Your guess is as good as mine.

[doubletake]

It doesn't really matter. Everything goes down the same in the end.

[/casually talks about murdering her someday]

[watchmaker]

Does it? [hashtag intrigued, ok.]

[doubletake]

I hope the 'shoot it enough and it'll die' idea applies to her. Otherwise, I'll have to hate her even more, and I'm not sure that's possible.

[watchmaker]

If that fails, I hear fire makes a good B-plan.

[doubletake]

[She laughs briefly.]

I'll make sure to remember that.
