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 || November 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.

[Her brow furrows, briefly, trying to sort out how badly she's screwing this up.]

And I should just stop talking.

[badexample]

No! No, no. It works. I mean- I'm pretty fuckin' weird too.

[fistpump]

Well, that's something we have in common at least. [She's still nervous, though.]

So did you get some sort of file on me or something?

[badexample]

Not really. I think Wynn prefers we sort of figure it out on our own. A lot of people barely remember more than their names, so putting together a file can be sort of impossible.

[fistpump]

Oh. Okay - so ... right.

[She takes a quick breath.]

I am pretty sure I remember everything - but I guess that's not really something I could know. Since I wouldn't remember... [She's rambling again.]

Sorry. Anyway - I was the IT girl for a large corporation and I also got tangled up into a teeny bit of vigilantism. Not me. I mean, a little hacking... but nothing - I mean, nothing big. I just tracked purchase orders... ran GPS... you know the usual 'Oh hey you're a vigilante, that must be nice, here is where that shipping container might be.' sort of thing.

[badexample]

You'll end up doing a lot more of that, honestly. That's sort of what I do for the most part. Actually going into the field? Not my favorite, but I'm getting better at it.

[fistpump]

That's fine. I'm good with that. I'm good at that.

[badexample]

Great! Probably won't have any issues adjusting then.

[fistpump]

That's a relief. [She takes a breath.] So, when you're not listening to new squires ramble what do you do?

[badexample]

A bit of this and that. I like to build things, mostly surveillance related. And I'm a bit of a hacker, myself. On the side.

[fistpump]

Oh? [She lights up at that mention.] Anything I might have heard of? I mean... you can pretend that I'm actually from the same world as you.

[badexample]

Most of the stuff I do is for missions. I can show you my set up in the Hoard lab, if you want? And my personal computer set up in my room. I can hook you up with a few monitors for yours if you want? Build you a system to handle whatever you need.

[fistpump]

[Felicity smiles politely. Having been on this side of things for a few years and selling that necklace (thank you, Ray Palmer) she's nearly rebuilt all of the foundry here. Though - it's not... here in the castle, but she's brought some of her stuff with.]

Oh - that's not, I mean, I can build my own. I would just need access to whatever networks you use. [You know, FBI, CIA... oh wait - does not everyone just tap into those things?]

[badexample]

Sure, definitely. I can get you access to anything you need. [Uh they totally hack whatever want or need to. Your mentor can give you the hook up girl.]

[fistpump]

That sounds great. [She doesn't know how polite or rule-breaking these knights are. They might have an honor code or something.]

[badexample]

Well, hey- enjoy your party. We'll have plenty of time to talk shop.

[fistpump]

Oh! Right, of course. [She smiles.]

Later, then.
