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 || October 1st, 2014, 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.

[David is completely oblivious that one Amelia Pond is going to be thrown in his direction, and it's probably for the best that way. Not that she isn't very pretty and her hair reminds him of something he can't place, but he's generally an oblivious idiot so no one should be surprised.

But here, Amy. Have a Viking. We know it's what you've always wanted.]

[keptbiting]

[ she slides up like anna singing for the first time in forever, leaning seductively against the wall. hey. ]

Hi there.

[ bad at being engaged.

to jeff. ]

[generaldavideus]

[So, so bad at it. But David's sense motive was all of a 4 so all the seductive goes right over his head. Sorry, Amy, he's pretty much as bad as the Doctor.]

Hi.

[he does, however, recognize her as one of the new squires (wisdom 17). He's so dumb.]

Welcome to the Knights. I'm David.

[keptbiting]

Amy Pond. [ she smiles sweetly. maybe he's gay like rory. he can be her new gay best friend. ]

[generaldavideus]

[He might as well be. He's practically a eunuch.]

Nice to meet you.

[keptbiting]

You as well. So strong silent type, that's your thing, innit?

[generaldavideus]

[He nods in agreement.]

It's worked well for me in the past.

[keptbiting]

Oh, I'd believe that.

[ ObJECTIFIES. ]

[generaldavideus]

[Yeah. He notices (sense motive 19). And looks supremely uncomfortable in the process.]

... Right.

[keptbiting]

[ amy seems to realize that she's making him uncomfortable (that's no fun), so she reins it in. ]

What'd'you do 'round here then?

[generaldavideus]

I'm a member of the Dragon's Hide.

[And a pause, because he's learned that not everyone knows what that means.]

I punch things.

[keptbiting]

Ah. [ she nods sagely. ] The Muscle.

[generaldavideus]

[he nods in agreement.]

I'm very good at it.

[keptbiting]

Yeah, you sort of have that Bodyguard vibe. Watch out for Whitney.

[generaldavideus]

[... And David has actually seen The Bodyguard. Wonders never cease (pop culture 20 total).]

I'll do my best.

[And he goes along with the joke too!]

[keptbiting]

You do that. [ she punches him gently in the arm. good ol' chum. ] I'll see y'around, mate.

[generaldavideus]

[David nods a bit, blinking at the punch in the shoulder, but he's just going to go with it.]

See you around.

[And with that he will wander off to talk to other folks. /scene]
