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 || July 1st, 2013, 6:00PM
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.

[ a blonde woman with unrestrained curly blonde hair sashays her way through the crowd with a glass in hand and stands a few feet away, putting a hand on a hip ] Well. Let me take a look at you.

[Confused, the teenager holds out her skirts.] It looks better than the armor did, anyway.

[wildmind]

I don't think the armor does very many of us any favors.

Nessa Harvey.

Maybe if I were a little older it would have been... better? [Not too many willowy almost-seventeen-year-olds walk around in ceremonial armor that weighs nearly as much as they do. Nessa has a point though. It seems about as useful aesthetically as it would be in a battle -- not that this teenager has any plans to involve herself in direct combat, if she can help it.

She holds her hand out because, if she can't remember anything else at least her manners haven't entirely left her.] Diana -- I'm Diana, I mean.

well shit, i'd lost this!

[wildmind]

[ nessa thrusts hers out to give the girl's a squeeze ] Nessa Harvey. Your mentor, as it were.

and i lost this!

[astrae]

[Wow, you might've stuck your foot in it a little bit there, Diana. She blushes again, but only slightly. Nessa's handshake is firm and reassuring - and maybe she meant it about the armor.] For combat?

[She may not remember much, but is fairly sure that being on the offensive isn't her strong suit.]

we rule basically

More for "in general", to help you get accustomed to the way we do things around here.
