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 || January 22, 2016, 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.

Maybe someone crashed in it while their room was getting repaired?

[grumpypuppy]

Maybe. Though I have a feeling it's a bit more than that.

[allmydreams]

[She winces.]

Missing anything that can't be replaced?

[grumpypuppy]

No, not really. The one thing I care about I know where it is. [he's just not sure how to ask for it back]

[allmydreams]

At least there's that.

[Her's are just ... never to be retrieved.]

Anyone interesting in the new recruits?

[grumpypuppy]

[he shrugged] Not that I've noticed yet. Though they seem like a... very attentive bunch.

[allmydreams]

[Her eyebrows go up teasingly.]

Is that what they're calling it?

[grumpypuppy]

I'm trying to be nice at their party. [he smirked a bit though]

[allmydreams]

[She laughs.]

It could have been worse. There wasn't any singing in this one.

[grumpypuppy]

I must have missed that one.

[he's not sad about that at all]

[allmydreams]

[She's sure he's not.]

So what brought you back? Island life getting boring for you?

[grumpypuppy]

More that I realized I needed to stop running away from things.

[allmydreams]

[And because she is a nosy little nellie:]

Significant other trouble?

[grumpypuppy]

Sibling problems.

[allmydreams]

Ahh. That is not an area I have a whole lot of experience in. No siblings.

[grumpypuppy]

So far I know I have two. One here, and one she told me about.

[allmydreams]

[She nods.]

It must be nice to have family here with you.

[grumpypuppy]

[he nodded, but his head lowered and looked away because yeaaah]

I'm not the best brother to her, mostly because of my own problems.

[allmydreams]

[She gives a small shrug.]

You're here, though. At least you can make up for it somehow? Family is family, after all.

[grumpypuppy]

That is what I'm hoping.

[allmydreams]

I'm sure it'll be fine. Most people are pretty reasonable when it comes to family.

[grumpypuppy]

I hope that's true with us too.

[allmydreams]

I'm sure it'll be fine. And while she's figuring things out, you have time to settle back in again.

[grumpypuppy]

Here's hoping. But you're right, it will allow me to settle in. I don't think I've really ever done it before.

[allmydreams]

[She nods in agreement.]

I remember when you got here - it wasn't that long before Andres.
