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 || May 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.

[ she shrugs, still fiddling with the grass. she feels bad shoving this on dante. ] It's okay. It's not your fault.

[buttholy]

I know, I was just — [it's sad :( ]

[withasouvenir]

[ heaving a sigh, head forehead drops to her knees and her hand stills against the grass. ]

I wish it made sense. If it made sense, maybe...

[buttholy]

I don't think stuff like this ever really does.

[withasouvenir]

No, 'cause then this might be easy. [ her head tips to look at him out of her corner of her eye. ]

Do you believe in God?

[buttholy]

I believe in something.

[withasouvenir]

I wish I did. I always wanted that fulfillment, that peace, but I never found it. [ instead she found it in drugs and alcohol. ] Probably would help right now.

[buttholy]

Maybe you should talk to a cleric. They're usually pretty ... with that whole thing.

[withasouvenir]

I don't really do well with doctors. [ maybe anastacia, eventually. ]

[buttholy]

Why's that?

[withasouvenir]

[ she rubs the back of her neck uncomfortably. ] I had a... uh, unfortunate love affair with drugs for a while. I made a lot of bad choice, totaled my car. After that, even if all you want is some Tylenol, it's a whole... thing. I already hated myself, I didn't like someone else looking at me like I was. [ she sighs. ] Trash.

[buttholy]

[he frowns with nonjudgmental concern.] Talking with a cleric about faith stuff isn't the same as going in for a prescription, that was all I was suggesting. I'm sorry, though.

[withasouvenir]

It's... sorry. Sometimes it's hard to disconnect cleric from doctors. [ because that's what they mostly do, in her experience. ]

[buttholy]

It's okay. I was just trying to help.

[withasouvenir]

I know, I-- [ she sighs, tugging her knees up and curling her arms around them. ] Thanks.
