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.

[Her smile widens.]

You know what, that's the best idea I've heard all night.

[ kali grins happily before turning because she meant rn??? let's go??? ]

Follow me, please.

[Yes. Best. Good.]

Right behind you.

[ dop de do, kali leads her down the corridors to the dragon's hide wing like a champ, pushing the doors open to ashley can see the training room. TADA!

also, ] Ta-da! I'm told people say that when showing off something of value.

Holy crap.

[She moves into the room, taking it all in.]

This is so cool.

[Like a kid in a candy store tbh.]

I thought so. The firing range is through there and the armory is through there. You have to use your keycard to get in though. But here's open.

Well, acquiring a keycard just became my number one goal in the next couple of days.

[Gonna take a look at the goods.]

I mean, it's not like they'd send us into the field empty-handed, right? Even if we're squires?

Oh no, you can take out all the weapons so long as you have the proper certification. Fred and Sir Reedhym do the field certifications for the Excalibur pistols.

I take it those are the standard go-to around here?

Yes. [ sage nod. ] You will see them at equipment orientation. I'm not sure they have them here.

Alright. Guess i'll just have to look forward to that.

Thanks for showing me this, though. Definitely going to get a lot of use out of this place.

You're welcome. I think everyone should get to appreciate this place. It's very nice.

[She takes another quick look around before she glances back at Kali.]

Think we should head back? My Mom's gonna give me a talk if she thinks I snuck out too early. You know, since I promised I'd mingle.

If we must. [ why people tho? especially when there could be fun and educational violence! ]

Well, I'd ask for a quick spar or something, but you're not really dressed for it.

[Ashley at least has pants on.]

[ kali looks down at her dress and high heels and then back up at ashley like what are you talking about? these shoes are clearly a deadly weapon. honestly, who would want to be kicked in the stomach with four inch high heels, that is a perforated colon waiting to happen. ]

I'm not?

Well, there's a reason I don't usually wear skirts.

[She shrugs her shoulders.]

I'm down if you don't care, though.

[ oh goody. she skips to one of the marked off circles for sparring, clearly down. so down. it is on like donkey kong. ]

I don't care.

[ obviously. ]

[Her eyebrows raise before she gives a little shrug, pulling her hair up into a quick ponytail as she moves over to the opposite circle.

Because of course she always has one with her. Obviously.]

Alright, let's do it.

Yippee!

[ and like a butterfly, she darts forward with a hard punch to the stomach, not wasting any time, but still aiming to wind and not actually hurt. (atk 31, nonlethal dmg 7) ]

[Pretty sure Kali is about to beat Ashley's ass lmao.

She takes the full brunt of that attack and tries to counter by kicking her away with the toe of her boot (hahaha atk 13).]

[ yeah kali easily dodges that like a slippery little eel, ever cheerful that she gets to spar with someone. yay violence! she lands, probably, another punch, but she may be pulling it a little more. (atk 27) she wants ashley to hit back so she doesn't want to end the session right off the bat. ]

[She can't even try to get out of the way of that one either, though her returning blow is a little better, but probably not a hit (atk 18).]

[ nope, she's very hard to hit lmao. but this time! she only barely hits ashley (atk 20), fist just grazing the other woman before she twists away. this makes kali obviously happy. yeah, near failure makes her happy. ]

Oh, you're quick!

Not as fast as you, geez.

[No wonder she didn't care about sparring in a dress. Her next attack is an improvement at least (atk 23).]
