CLOSED ♔ knighting ceremonies

[wynn]

WHO || Wynn, Dovan, Koraith, Hasmed, Lis'sa, Solace, graduating squires, various members of the Knighthood, invited guests [closed]
WHAT || Full Knighting ceremonies for various squires
WHERE || Knight's Headquarters, the Great Hall
WHEN || December  BACKDATED
HOW || Actionspam

Unlike the grandiose nature of the squiring ceremony each Knight undergoes upon their initial entrance into the Knighthood, the graduation to Full Knight status takes place in a much more intimate affair, between the Knight, their mentor, invited friends, and the members of the sect to which they will be inducted. There's no pompous music, no stolid rank and file, no elaborate march.

The Knight's new section head, Wynn, and their mentor Knight wait up at the front of the room for their approach, but the attitude of the ceremony is much more relaxed, full of smiles and light conversation on all sides. Of course, when Wynn speaks, people still hush. It's just how he rolls.

"Please kneel."


((Given the large amount of promotions occurring, we will not be doing individual posts/parties for each. Instead, please there are top comments on this post for each section's ceremonies, and each section's parties. Feel free to make Drakenet posts or plurks establishing your character's invited guests, and tagging into as much as you would like/handwaving as much as you'd like.   Also please make sure your established promotion is acknowledged here as well. ))

What do you know? They're letting you stick around. [ Skye makes her way over with her chin raised and a smirk on her lips. ] Then again, it's the Hide, so ...

[byrned]

[ When Skye steps over a big old grin spreads over Matt's face. ]

Hey don't you knock it. I've been working on these bad boys. [ and that would be a gesture to his arms. ]

That and the handsome bastard sect was full.

I know. I'm the latest member. [ her eyes twinkle playfully, and she reproachfully arches her eyebrows at his arms like hmmm seen better. ] I can see why they turned down you rmembership.

[byrned]

Oh ouch. [ He puts a hand to his chest, all mock wounded like he's been hit right through the heart. ]

Hit a guy where it hurts why don't ya? I can see why they gave you a membership card though. [ And he'll give her a once over, so obviously so that it can only be something of a joke. ]

[hacker]

Aww. Look at you, learning about appropriate context for come-ons. [ She punches him in the arm. ] You are growing up.

[byrned]

Not the first time I've been called a grower.

[ He grins, incorrigible. Can't stop won't stop tbh. ]

And who says I'm coming on to you?

[hacker]

[ Patiently, ] The fact that you just started in with thinly veiled penis metaphors says that, Matt.

[byrned]

You know I was gonna say maybe I just like talking about my dick, but then that's really not the suave look I'm going for here.

[hacker]

You're going for suave? I hate to break it to you, but there's a lot more than talking about your dick getting in the way of that.

[byrned]

Yeah, well time and a place. You know. I can do suave. Get some real 007 James Bond shit going on here. I should probably have my own theme music.

[hacker]

I bet Andrew could hook you up with a sweet speaker system in your t-shirt. [ Which is both probably true and a total judgment against his suaveness. ]

[byrned]

[ It makes him laugh, and he gives her a slight shoulder shove. ]

You think I'm full of shit, don't you? Well I'll have you know this suave bastard almost recorded an album once.

[hacker]

Of what, country music? [ She sticks out her tongue. ] Please.

[byrned]

Do I look like the line dancing sort? No, cheeky cow. I'm a classical pianist. Yeah, see, didn't expect that, did you?

[hacker]

—Did you just call me a cow?

[ excuse. she's distracted by this, she'll get back to classical piano in a moment. ]

[byrned]

No, I called you a cheeky cow. Completely different.

[hacker]

Not a distinction I'm making right now.

[byrned]

You got something against cows? You being cow-ist?

[ aren't you glad you waited so long for that tag ]

i definitely had to backread this thread like how did we get to this plcae

[hacker]

No, there's already an ist for what you said and it's called sexist! You can't call women cows!

this is a question i ask in my daily life

[byrned]

Woah there! I'd call a bloke a cow if he was being a cow. It's got nothing to do with being a woman. I love women. More than healthy most of the time come to think of it.

[hacker]

Well, I've got news for you, Matty. You're being a cow.

[byrned]

[ he laughs, and gives a slight nudge of his shoulder before nodding. ]

Yeah yeah okay. You got me. I'll hold my hands up. But come on, look at this face, you can't be angry with it too long, right?

[hacker]

You don't know how much practice I have in being angry. In fact, I'd be willing to bet most women have more experience being angry with handsome men than the others.
