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.

Some of the people sort of act like they belong in one.

[he laughed at that one] Remind me to do well not to make you think I should be added to that particular list.

[shootfirst]

It's not that hard. Just don't be a dumbass.

[byyourleave]

I thought that was a basic life skill.

[shootfirst]

Apparently that memo didn't go around here.

[byyourleave]

Well, I assure you I remember that rule most of the time. Though rum will bring times that it is not a priority.

[shootfirst]

At least it's not fey wine.

[byyourleave]

I don't have much experience with fey wine. I prefer to stick with what I know.

[shootfirst]

Well, what fun is that? You gotta break outside your box.

[byyourleave]

But what if I like the box that I am in? Though it is more of a barrel...

[shootfirst]

I guess that works too.

[byyourleave]

[he chuckles and pets the cat a bit more] So what is this one's name?

[shootfirst]

Lucky. My familiar and long term buddy.

[byyourleave]

Has he brought you much luck into your life?

[shootfirst]

I can really use all the luck I can get.

[byyourleave]

[he tilted his head to look at her a moment]

You have not had the best of luck lately?

[shootfirst]

It's been a pretty shitty... three years or so.

[byyourleave]

I'm sorry to hear that. But all luck turns. I'm sure good luck is in your near future.

[shootfirst]

You're better than a fortune cookie.

[byyourleave]

[he laughed] Yes, but I assure you, I do not taste as sweet.

[shootfirst]

Gonna have to take your word on that one.

[byyourleave]

You also don't have to break me in half to get it. In fact, I prefer not to be broken if at all possible.

[shootfirst]

So many men make a point of telling me that.

[byyourleave]

Do you feel there is a reason why they would do so?

[shootfirst]

Something about a vibe I give off.
