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 || January 22, 2016, 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 20 disguise check, dumage isn't even really trying that hard, and still looks effortlessly flawless.

as bubblegum moves past her, she follows her with a critical eye, before offering a very helpful: ] You've something in your hair, darling.

[monosaccharide]

Hmm? [Bonnie is usually pretty careful, since her hair can get sticky, and she pats it carefully.] Thank you for letting me know. Where?

[postergirl]

Everywhere.

[monosaccharide]

...

[She gives the other woman a puzzled look, then says slowly:]

This... is my hair. I realize the humans of this era are remarkably close-minded, but I sort of thought it was obvious.

[This is what she gets, assuming other people are even half as smart as she is.]

[postergirl]

Did you anger an old gypsy woman or something?

[monosaccharide]

I've angered a lot of people, but I don't know what that has to do with anything. [She tilts her head.] If you're trying to make a point, please just make it.

[She's beginning to suspect offense is intended (sense motive 14) but the insults are really falling flat for her, so she's not bringing it up in case she's wrong. No reason to start a fight over a misunderstanding.]

[postergirl]

I was just saying hello, darling.

[monosaccharide]

You have a strange way of doing it. [But okay. She isn't here to make enemies. She offers the other lady a sweet smile and holds out a hand.] Sir Bonnibel Bubblegum. I take it you're one of my fellow knights?

[postergirl]

[ dumage's eyebrows climb even higher at that name ] You certainly are stuck on a theme, aren't you? [ still, she'll extend a hand for a delicate shake ] Dumage Moulet. And I imagine so, yes. No one's told me I'm kicked out yet, at least.

[monosaccharide]

Is there... a chance of that? [Bonnie hasn't really considered that knights could be kicked out. She doesn't expect it would happen to her, of course, since as a princess she's definitely overqualified, but it makes sense that not every knight would work out.]

[postergirl]

Oh yes. Wynn's standards are exacting, after all. [ #sarcasm ]

[monosaccharide]

Oh? Your experience has shown otherwise?

[postergirl]

Let's just say you'll probably see for yourself when you're out in the field.

[monosaccharide]

That is unfortunate. I'd been under the impression this organization was an esteemed one.

[postergirl]

Yes, well, life's full of little disappointments.
