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 takes note of the woman's features (spot 14) but makes no mention of them because is there really a non potentially awkward or rude sounding way to start questioning people on their heritages here?]

[that's neither the first nor most certainly the last time Sara will get a look over from someone like that.] Nice to meet you, Sir Trinall. [another quick smile. she's addressing most tonight by their titles, though the major exception to that being when she saw Thea. she called Thea by her first name because it's Thea ok; she remembers when Thea was younger, having known the Queen family for years.]

[ the pleasantries seem to be automatic with her, and she glances around the room with an air of intense ennui ] Enjoying your party?

[canaria]

Yeah, it's been enjoyable -- this group knows how to host a party for sure. [sometimes parties are a pain, but this one is a nice way to mingle.]

[lissatrinall]

Seeing as how Wynn's thrown literally hundreds of them, I would hope so.

[canaria]

Makes it seem like there's a fine art to it. [which, not a complaint; if you're gonna do something - anything - do it right and with style, tbh.]

[lissatrinall]

I suppose there is, but it's never been one that I've concerned myself overly with.

[canaria]

[parties aren't everyone's cup of tea; while Sara still enjoys them, she enjoyed them a little TOO MUCH in college. :| yep. learned that lesson reaaaaaaally quickly.] Which arts are in your priority list? [a genuine question.]

[lissatrinall]

Less arts, more sciences, actually.
