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 || March 1st, 2015, 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.

It's... It's wonderful. More than I could have hoped for. But I don't see how it's possible. Ashley died more than two years before I came through the Veil. She has no recollection of those events, but even with taking Veil induced memory loss into account, I've never heard of the Veil bringing someone back from the dead.

[bredinthebone]

Neither have I.

[And it's a very disconcerting thing, if it's actually possible. They can't do something like that without there being side effects.]

Maybe it's something worth talking to Gar about. See if it's come up in her research into the Veil?

[daredtobelieve]

Yes, perhaps. [She takes a deep breath and tries to calm herself a bit.] I may do a bit of my own research as well.

[bredinthebone]

[She nods in agreement.]

Just ... there's still a lot about the Veil that we don't know. And while it can screw with a lot of shit ... it doesn't always have to be a bad thing. This could just as easily be a blessing.

[She knows that Helen's been without her daughter for a long time, and if this girl is who she says she is, then maybe this is a chance for Helen to get a second one.]

[daredtobelieve]

I'm afraid to hope that. [The words are barely above a whisper.]

[bredinthebone]

[Malina can understand that. She pauses for a moment, considering, before glancing back to her.]

Then we'll hit the books. Eliminate as many possibilities as we can. But a little hope isn't a bad thing. Not everything is twists and darkness.

[daredtobelieve]

Thank you, Malina. [She says finally, realizing just how much she needs a voice of reason right now.] I appreciate this more than you know.

[bredinthebone]

Of course.

[She wouldn't be anywhere else, as far as she's concerned. And with that, she'll reach for the empty glasses.]

I think I'm going to grab a refill. Can I get you one?

[daredtobelieve]

I think I'm alright for now. Thank you.

[bredinthebone]

Of course. I'll be right back.

[And with that, she will wander off to get a refill. /scene]
