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.

I didn't know a scientist was supposed to look like anything.

[ Said with such a flat tone that it can't be anything but honest tbh. ]

I only mean that this galaxy is far behind the one I came from. I don't expect there's much about space that anyone here could teach me.

[monosaccharide]

I didn't either. [She smiles tightly, eyes widening.] And yet, it turns out that the lead minds here have a very specific idea of what a scientist should look like and pink isn't in the description.

[Among other things.]

That's fascinating. You're from the future, then?

[forcevisions]

Not really. I've heard of a great many planets, but Earth isn't on any star map I've seen. I don't know about the future, but I'm quite sure I lived in a different galaxy. [ She shakes her head. ] But that's absurd. What do looks have to do with how much you know about science?

[monosaccharide]

Ah, see, I am from Earth. But it's definitely the future.

[There are a lot of hints, if you know where to look. The shape of the planet, for one. Lack of radioactive waste in inconvenient places.

She shakes her head, smiling slightly. Rey's naivety is actually pretty refreshing.]

Absolutely nothing. But some people will take any excuse to try and cut a person down. Or make one up if they can't find a legit one.

[forcevisions]

Sounds like they have too much time on their hands. [ Seriously Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs has never been more real. Who has time to shit on female scientists when you're trying to scavenge enough to eat /?? ]
