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 || September 1st, 2015, 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.

[with a Dis 23, Baal is better prepared for this event. He takes time to go and greet the other new squires, and smiles at Deryn as he approaches with his hand held out]

Welcome to the Knighthood. I am Baal.

[theshadowspeaks]

[ Handshakes are good in his book, he shakes firm but not too much (str 15)]

Thank you, Baal. I'm Deryn, it's nice to meet you. [ he spoke in his softer tone.]

[byyourleave]

As you. I have only been here a few months myself so if you need anything, I can try to be of help.

[theshadowspeaks]

Thank you, I may really need that.

[ He admitted.]

Do you like it here so far?

[byyourleave]

Yes. So far the rest of the knights have been quite welcoming, and there is no lack of entertainment in the castle.

[theshadowspeaks]

So I have been told. I am hoping it turns out to be as good of a place as it seems to be on first glance. I'm a bit of a worrier I admit.

[byyourleave]

Caution at new surroundings and people is not something to feel apologetic about. It is a healthy survival instinct.

[theshadowspeaks]

[ He smiled at that and nodded.] A fine way to look at it.

So, what is your favorite thing here?

[byyourleave]

To be honest? I spend most of my time in the TV Room. There are many movies I have never seen, so I spend my time catching up. Pop culture education I believe it is called?

[theshadowspeaks]

I have been meaning to do that, the woman I used to live with showed me a lot of movies when the days work would be done. I would love to see more. It seems the best way to soak in the culture of the world.

[byyourleave]

Perhaps then you can come join me in the evenings after supper?

[theshadowspeaks]

I would love to. I will come and find you sometime soon after eating.

[ He nodded and smiled brightly.]

[byyourleave]

And I promise not to make you watch the ones of the sharks inside of the tornados.

[theshadowspeaks]

...Wait, what?

[ He looks as confused as any person whose been spared that would be.]

[byyourleave]

Yes, there are three of them. Sharknado is the name of them.

[theshadowspeaks]

That.. sounds stupid if I am to be frank.

[byyourleave]

Oh trust me, it is. But it is good for a laugh.

[theshadowspeaks]

Well, alright I'm sold. Humor gets by with a lot. I might actually give this Sharkenado a try sometime.

[ He smiled brightly then.]

THank you, and I do look forward to learning more of this new world with you.

[byyourleave]

As do I.

[and they will come to spend many evenings watching bad movies, and a friendship will blossom. /scene]
