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.

It's been sort of a... long, complicated road.

[incantatio]

How long have you been at it so far?

[cigam]

... Years. But we're not about to give up on her. Or on Charming.

[incantatio]

I'd offer to help but, years? I'd probably be way out of my league.

[cigam]

We might finally be close to a breakthrough. We've at least uncovered the source of the curse itself - it just happens to be a god.

[incantatio]

No wonder it's taken so long. [Eyes widening as she shakes her head.] Did you discover the reason along with the source?

[cigam]

One of her people fell in love with a mortal, and revealed the secrets of the gods to them, that they were meant to guard.

And that's the story of why Atlantis sunk.

[incantatio]

[Say what now?!] Soooo... not even close to anything I was expecting you to say. [#welcometotheknights]

[cigam]

Is it worse if I say the god in question was Poseidon?

[incantatio]

I think once you said 'cursed by a god' it was all downhill from there.

[cigam]

You can see why it's the sort of thing we have to tread lightly on.

[incantatio]

Oh yeah... But, I mean this is at least not your run of the mill kind of mission, right?

[cigam]

They don't all involve pissing off deities, no.
