CLOSED ♔ knighting ceremonies

[wynn]

WHO || Wynn, Dovan, Koraith, Hasmed, Lis'sa, Solace, graduating squires, various members of the Knighthood, invited guests [closed]
WHAT || Full Knighting ceremonies for various squires
WHERE || Knight's Headquarters, the Great Hall
WHEN || December  BACKDATED
HOW || Actionspam

Unlike the grandiose nature of the squiring ceremony each Knight undergoes upon their initial entrance into the Knighthood, the graduation to Full Knight status takes place in a much more intimate affair, between the Knight, their mentor, invited friends, and the members of the sect to which they will be inducted. There's no pompous music, no stolid rank and file, no elaborate march.

The Knight's new section head, Wynn, and their mentor Knight wait up at the front of the room for their approach, but the attitude of the ceremony is much more relaxed, full of smiles and light conversation on all sides. Of course, when Wynn speaks, people still hush. It's just how he rolls.

"Please kneel."


((Given the large amount of promotions occurring, we will not be doing individual posts/parties for each. Instead, please there are top comments on this post for each section's ceremonies, and each section's parties. Feel free to make Drakenet posts or plurks establishing your character's invited guests, and tagging into as much as you would like/handwaving as much as you'd like.   Also please make sure your established promotion is acknowledged here as well. ))

I doubt she'd do it for the other sects though.

So maybe each section head's got it under control. Sucks for the sect with the least organized leadership, I guess.

[graveflowers]

That'd be the Freelancers, I guess, no offense. I wonder if Wynn does his own paperwork. Oh! Maybe that's why Christos is always so... grumpy, he pulled the short stick.

[hacker]

That's ... Damn, probably true. Does this mean we should be doing our own paperwork? [ asks the girl who's never been on a mission. ]

[graveflowers]

[ she shrugs in a don't ask me way. ] I pass all my shit off on Solace, yo. Knighting Groot right after the attack so I didn't even have to do any work there either. I don't know why they give me squires, I'm trash at it.

[hacker]

I sincerely doubt that. You had a hand in helping get me used to this place. I mean, admittedly, I've never even been on a mission, so who knows how I'll actually measure up, but ...

[graveflowers]

You'll do great, don't worry. Just listen and keep your eyes open, I don't think you'll have a problem with asking for clarification... [ which is obviously complimentary. ]

[hacker]

If the job was that easy, wouldn't anyone do it?

[graveflowers]

You'd think, right? But nah, Wynn's got his island of misfit toys instead.

[hacker]

I guess it takes a special kind of person to even want to.

[graveflowers]

Ding ding ding, that's you! [ she puts her hands out like one of the girls on the price is right like skye is the prize. ]

[hacker]

In my defense, my prospects weren't spectacular. What's your excuse?

[graveflowers]

He was so cute. And when he was like "I don't imagine you're looking for employment?" and I was like "you made Wynn sound like a pimp", which he did, but man I woulda followed that ass anywhere. So I did. And now you know that it's not just idealism that brings people here.

[ WHOOPS. ]

[hacker]

"He"?

[graveflowers]

Luther, sorry I forget not everyone was there for my complete lack of shame.

[hacker]

He's the one who got you to join?

[graveflowers]

Yeah. He got me the audience. Him and Risa. Lis'sa to a degree, though I'm not sure she actually wanted me. Not that I can blame her, I was not super serious or, um, brainy. Like I said, totally not a Ravenclaw.

[hacker]

And Lis'sa's Rowena, I noticed. Is she always so ... intense?

[graveflowers]

I woulda gone with scary, but as far as I can tell, yeah.

[hacker]

Any idea what her deal is?

[graveflowers]

Old and cautious as far as I can tell. I haven't exactly tried to get to know her very well.

[hacker]

I'm not even sure it's possible to get to know her that well.

[graveflowers]

It has to be, it probably just takes decades.

[hacker]

We don't all have that kind of time.

[graveflowers]

Honestly? If she's gonna outlive you? I don't think she mind that fact cutting down the pool of her future friends.
