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.

[Bonnie smiles, nodding at the description.] She sounds lovely.

[arretez]

Truly. They had no children of their own so she made all of Paris her charge.

[monosaccharide]

And how did they come to know you?

[arretez]

A mutual friend, Scáthach, took me to them after I had been sentenced to death. [ her hand lifts to idly touch the scar between her neck and shoulder, eyes clouding. ] If it weren't for Nicholas, I never would have survived, but he performed the world's first blood transfusion. It was part of a spell, misread and lost centuries ago, combined with the transfusion of Scáthach's vampire blood that inexplicably led to my immortality.

[monosaccharide]

Well, congratulations. I'm sure there are downsides to immortality, but it's better than the alternative.

[Something Bonnie... knows personally, actually.]

[arretez]

Not always. I have tremendous faith in my God, I had been ready to meet him and my afterlife when Scáthach saved me. It took a long time to accept that I would not greet Heaven as I had been prepared for.

[monosaccharide]

[Bonnie smiles tightly, and does not tell Jeanne that she would have been disappointed anyway since Heaven isn't real and Gods don't exist (will 25).]

That's... nice.

[arretez]

[ gurl. you in a world were gods are real.

regardless of that, jeanne does look at bonnibel askance because... did you actually listen to anything she said? that's not actually nice. but okay. her head bobs in a slight nod. ]

Indeed. I look forward to working with you Sir Bubblegum, enjoy your celebration.
