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.

Is that why you use magic to look like one?

[ She seems curious, not judgy. ]

[she snaps her fingers and her form shifts back to human.] Aye. That and hair is enough of a hassle when you're not covered head to toe in it.

That is a lot of blow-drying.

[sakurasmile]

Exactly. And it smells like dog hair, regardless of what I do.

[hacker]

You'd think there'd be a spell for that.

[She shakes her head and goes back to the racks to see if there's something suitably free-flowing.] Oh, I'm sure there is, but I'm absolute shite at magic. Apparently, my real mum was good at it, but I never picked it up, 'cept to make pretty lights.

Hey, that's more than I can do. The closest I get to magic is working a computer screen.

[sakurasmile]

Ah, but that's modern magic. [she tosses a wink over her shoulder.] And doesn't go away when the Veil closes.

And until it does, modern magic's gotta deal with being upstaged every so often.
