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 || September 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.

Not all of them do, [ vi corrects. ] They all have spirits, but Groot and Dyrads are a special breed. [ a beat. ] Groot's just special in general.

[ SHE LOVES HER LIL DANCING TREE BABY ]

[He nods slowly.]

I've run into dryads before - not here, but on the other side of the Veil. And I've run into my fair share of trouble in those woods, so it never hurts to be too careful.

[graveflowers]

My first mission was Dryads. This terrifying queen who I'm pretty sure was going to murder us, but I'm like hella personable and friendly and shit, like ain't no one to fuck with. Also I healed her tree babies so she loves me.

[generaldavideus]

[He smirks a bit at that.]

All I've had so far is crazy magic and pissed off deities.

[graveflowers]

[ teasing: ] Well, I mean, that's just normal.

[generaldavideus]

[He chuckles softly.]

You do have a point.

[graveflowers]

Maybe that's a specific niche of normal though, an us kind of normal.

[generaldavideus]

[He nods slowly.]

Maybe. It's still a pretty unique kind of normal.

[graveflowers]

We're just special. [ she pats herself on the back. ]

[generaldavideus]

We are. It takes something very special when you have to worry about whether or not Loki is going to take over Russia again.

[graveflowers]

Well, we're not using it, is there any harm? Maybe he'd get fouled up like Napoleon did.

[generaldavideus]

[David cringes as he considers that.]

Well, the last time he tried he used mind control and had no problem murdering people to get what he wanted, so.

[He shrugs.]

[graveflowers]

...okay, so maybe not. You make a valid point.

[generaldavideus]

[He nods.]

I think we'd prefer to give Russia to someone who's less of a psychopath.

[graveflowers]

Justin Bieber. [ which would be better, david. ]

[generaldavideus]

[David frowns for a moment, before squinting (knowledge pop culture 7).]

Who?

[graveflowers]

...oh bless your sweet soul, I hope you never find out.

[generaldavideus]

[He wrinkles his nose a bit.]

Is it bad?

[graveflowers]

It's... I don't even want to tell you, to be honest.

[generaldavideus]

Then I think I'm better off not knowing.

[graveflowers]

Definitely. I'm gonna go grab some snack, you want anything?

[generaldavideus]

[He shakes his head.]

I'm good.

[And with that, he will leave her with her to go show off Lucia to other people. /scene]
