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 6th, 2014, 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.

[ well sure, lila will talk, fiddling the diamond between her fingers. and she doesn't mind talking about the squiring process either, she's super knowledgable in the squiring process since she's basically a professional at it now. ]

It varies person to person and mentor to stick up their ass mentor. Six to ten months seems to be the running norm. Sometimes less, sometimes more.

[ or over a year and a half... (unsure) ]

[allaboutme]

[ 22 sense motive says... ] I'm picking up some bitter personal sob story vibes here.

[bittersweeter]

Yeah well, when your mentor has a permanent bitchface, bitterness tends to crop up. Who is yours anyway?

[allaboutme]

[ WELL IT WILL PROBABLY BE CAROL WHEN/IF SHANA APPS HER so we left it vague. so if that doesn't happen, this conversation never did. /waves hand like a Jedi ] Her name's Carol. She thinks she's a superhero or something.

[bittersweeter]

Oh, that's... unfortunate. [ her nose scrunches up. ]

[allaboutme]

I suppose on the laundry list of potential delusions, that doesn't rank as high as some things.

[bittersweeter]

I've had enough holier than thou to last a lifetime, so have fun with that.

[allaboutme]

It's not like I'm going to be stuck with her forever.

[bittersweeter]

Where are you even thinking about heading?

[allaboutme]

Heading? I didn't realize I needed an itinerary.

[bittersweeter]

I meant what sect, you don't exactly look like Hide material and superhero sort of screams HIDE in neon lights and glitter text.

[allaboutme]

Hey, I only hide when things get way above my paygrade.

[bittersweeter]

Dragon's Hide. [ giiiiirl. ] They're basically the muscle.

[allaboutme]

Kind of a weird name, isn't it? What, was Dragon's Biceps taken?

[bittersweeter]

[ she shrugs. ] Probably. It's a theme. Dragon's Fire is the magic. [ her nose automatically wrinkles. ] Dragon's Mind is psions, Light is the clerics and cute ginger medics. Um, Hoard is the nerds. Claws are Wynn's two right hand men. And the Dragon's Tongue are the... [ best. ] Well they're the ones that talk everyone else out of trouble.

[allaboutme]

[ cordy flashes a smile at that one ] Sounds like my kind of people.

I mean, minus the kinda slutty sounding name.

[bittersweeter]

Seeing as the head of the sect is a giant gold dragon? [ ignoring the half part. ] It doesn't seem that slutty when you get used to it.

[allaboutme]

As in Puff the Magic dragon-dragon?

[bittersweeter]

I don't think he's real big on medicinal marijuana, but yeah, dragon.

[allaboutme]

Maybe he's not the one who's been smoking something. You're trying to tell me there are giant fire-breathing lizards walking around giving orders around here?

[bittersweeter]

[ it takes her a second to find him in the sea of people because she is teeny, but eventually... (spot 15) she uses her glass to point him out. ] Big, gold, that would be him. Not Wynn's giant, possibly over compensatory glass dragon, de facto stone for the sword, but Koraith is definitely a dragon. Half. And before you ask, no, I don't know how.

[allaboutme]

Halloween must get really confusing around here.

[bittersweeter]

[ she shrugs. ] I'm not really a big Halloween fan, that's Astrid's thing.

[allaboutme]

Who's Astrid? Your dog? [ it sounds like a dog name ok ]

[bittersweeter]

Yes. My dog's favorite holiday is Halloween. [ srsly cordelia. ] She's a medic. So, you know, try not to call her a dog to her face if you don't want to die in the field.
