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 || April 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.

More to see what we might be in for.

[Her eyebrows raise as she sips her drink.]

While I understand that Whitney Houston last month set a strange precedent, I'm not really sure there's much to be worried about with this one.

[everyredcent]

It pays not to underestimate anyone.

[bredinthebone]

What they can accomplish or how much they can screw up?

[Knowing Christos it's probably the latter, but it's worth asking all the same.]

[everyredcent]

It generally trends towards the second.

[bredinthebone]

Such an optimist.

[She shakes her head before glancing around the room and picking out Hawley.]

I brought in that one. Trying to say something about my judgement?

[Assuming that he has any respect for her at all in the first place, which is a heavy assumption, but they've manage to not be at each other's throats, so that's at least something.]

[everyredcent]

It seems you're second guessing your own, if you're so concerned about my opinion.

[bredinthebone]

Second guessing? No. But since we're not in the habit of hatching ready-made field operatives, I'm wondering if you at least have a little faith in the people who brought them in that they can handle themselves.

[everyredcent]

I don't place my faith nearly so cheaply.

[bredinthebone]

[Her eyebrow raises at his word choice there, before she takes another sip of her drink.]

Well, it is a little like money. Some of us just have more of it to go around.

[everyredcent]

And some of us are needless spendthrifts, yes.

[bredinthebone]

I wouldn't call it needless. Some people just have less of a need to hoard it like a dragon.

[everyredcent]

Dragons are highly intelligent creatures.

Perhaps they're on to something.

[bredinthebone]

[She laughs softly at that, before nodding her defeat. She knew she wasn't going to change his mind over night.]

Alright. You do you, Smaug, and I'll do me. We'll see how far it gets us.

[everyredcent]

So which of these was your fault?

[bredinthebone]

So you can judge them in advance? I don't think so.

[She glances over and shakes her head.]

You've been working with my long enough - you figure it out.

[everyredcent]

I can't imagine that will present much of a challenge.

[bredinthebone]

[She smirks.]

Then knock yourself out. Until then?

[She gets up with her glass.]

I think I need another drink. Can I get you something?

[Because even if she disagrees with Christos on ... everything, she at least has (some) manners.]

[everyredcent]

I imagine I won't be staying long. As such, I'll have to pass.

[bredinthebone]

[She nods, before raising her glass again.]

Then I'll see you around.

[And with that, off she goes to get herself some more bubbly. /scene]
