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.

[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.

[byyourleave]

Well, I am under the assumption that the women chosen for this knighthood have the ability to cause me great harm if I misstep. So it is not you personally in my regards.

[shootfirst]

You're smarter than you look, Chief.

[byyourleave]

That is probably what has kept me alive as long as I have.

[shootfirst]

Which is how old exactly?

[byyourleave]

[he just smirked] It's not polite to ask one their age.

[shootfirst]

Good thing I don't give a crap about manners then, huh?

[byyourleave]

[laughing] Fair enough. I am only twenty seven years.

[shootfirst]

Well, see, that's not so bad. Doesn't seem like that long ago I would have thought that was old as time, though. I must be growing as a person.

[byyourleave]

[snorts] dare I ask how old you are that gives you a nicer opinion on those my age?

[shootfirst]

Twenty... four? When the hell did that happen?

[byyourleave]

Ah yes, three years. When you are my age, you will look back upon your youth of twenty four and miss those days.

[shootfirst]

Well, yeah, that's why I'm enjoying my youth while I have it.

[byyourleave]

That is a good plan. Of which, I can offer to help. Do you think Lucky will object if we danced a bit?

[shootfirst]

Lucky might not, but my boyfriend might.

[byyourleave]

Even for a newly squired knight such as myself asking innocently if only to get to know a fellow knight?
