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.

[ well, the upside is that the idea of a half-unicorn/half-dragon made her laugh? ]

There is actually a half-dragon here. Koraith, the head of the Dragon's Tongue? Can't miss him.

[ big gold... half-dragon. ]

[canaria]

[no what that was supposed to be A JOKE. gdi thea, thx.]

Oh. [welp.] No, I haven't seen him yet, but if I do - I'll know who he is.

[withasouvenir]

He's hard to miss. [ seeing as he is GIANT AND FUCKING GoLD. ] Don't worry, I'm pretty sure he's mostly harmless.

[canaria]

[a short laugh.] You know, you really inspire so much confidence with words like 'pretty sure' and 'mostly'. [said with another smile.]

[withasouvenir]

I don't know anything about dragons! We don't have that weird shit at home, just skeevy vigilantes.

[canaria]

The skeeviest. [yeah she's not even gonna pretend to be offended, because lol she's right.] I bet I could spar Oliver for place of the most skeevy, except loser takes the title.

[withasouvenir]

[ she looks at sara askance for a second because lol ollie's not a vigilante... poor precious snowflake. ]

I dunno, you're gorgeous Sara, I'm pretty sure he'd enjoy it. And that would take all the fun out of watching you beat him up.

[canaria]

He might enjoy it, until afterwards when he has to take so many ice baths for recovery. [nah jk those probably wouldn't even bother him either; hardly the harshest thing he'd ever endure. but still, baths are way better when they're warm ... and with bubbles tbh because who doesn't love a bubble bath?]

[withasouvenir]

[ her nose wrinkles a little. ] Imagining Ollie in a bath is so not on my agenda for the day. I'm gonna go... change my shoes.

[ flee more like, but cleaning the champagne off her shoes is a good excuse. she steps forward and wraps her arms tightly around sara's shoulders in a rare show of affection normally reserved for her brother. ] I'm glad you're here.

[canaria]

[The start of her soft laugh is cut short by the surprise of the hug. not an unwelcome surprise, just a surprise. she returns the hug, though.] I'm glad you're here, too; it'd suck to not see any nice faces from home here.

[withasouvenir]

[ she's not sure she could stand it if there were any more nice faces from home -- in case they might be dead. she holds the hug a moment longer before pulling back and giving sara a weak smile. ] It would. See you.

[ and she hurries off to clean her shoes aka fix her eyeliner tbh. ]
