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.

And confident. Always a plus. [SAID ADMIRAL COCKY OF THE OVERCONFIDENT ARMADA.]

[pathology]

I'm hella confident.

[andblockbuster]

[he laughs for longer than should be strictly comfortable and then awkwardly covers it up by shoving his hand at her.] I'm Topher... Which you know, 'cause... Wynn introduced me and all. There was a big... thing about it.

[pathology]

[she shakes his hand, immune to the awkwardness. she just doesn't care lmao.] Astrid!

[andblockbuster]

Nice to meet you. [a girl who doesn't notice how awkward he is. this is great.] So... Any tips for a newbie? Other than avoid clerics with knives.

[pathology]

Hmm ... get a mini-fridge so people won't eat your food. Just hang out with me, you'll be fine.

[andblockbuster]

Do those come standard for all squires? The mini-fridges.

[HE NEEDS A FRIDGE. THEY'RE IMPORTANT.]

[pathology]

Nope, you totally have to buy your own. But it's a worthwhile investment.

[andblockbuster]

God, I'm gonna have to get used to not being spoiled because my genius is an asset and everyone wants to buy my cooperation. [he pauses.] But this is still an improvement!

[hahahaha yep...]

[pathology]

Well, here it's like college. Like, you were probably a super awesome genius wherever you're from, but now you're hanging out where like, a ton of people are geniuses. Definitely not everyone, but like. A lot.

[andblockbuster]

I... was the biggest genius in college too. [TOPHER THAT IS NOT THE POINT.] In my field, anyway.

[pathology]

[in a tone that's meant to be like OKAY I'M STILL NOT IMPRESSED THO] Cool, me too.

[andblockbuster]

[awkward, insecure laughter.] I mean... How many people are neurologists with advanced knowledge of computer sciences?

[pathology]

[squint ... squint ...

yeah, she's got nothing.]

Whatever.

[andblockbuster]

[he shrugs.] It's a rare niche.

[pathology]

I guess you're still cool enough to be my best friend.

[andblockbuster]

[fistpump of victory!!]

[pathology]

[she tilts her head.] I can't decide whether to tell you to not do that or not.

[andblockbuster]

[he straightens up.] I can dial it back a bit.

[pathology]

Yeah, yeah, that'd probably be good.
