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.

Some of us are quite content to take advantage of the freedom this world had to offer. Housed drow, however, are hardly forgiving of those of us who choose not to adopt the old traditions in this world as well.

Oddly enough, I understand what you mean.

[ She can't put a finger on exactly how, but his words trigger some sort of recognition in her. Betraying the laws of your culture... strikes a chord with her. ]

Wynn recognizes our position, and understands that our presence here is of mutual benefit to us both.

[farmgirlfighter]

You mean with us fighting his battles for him?

[everyredcent]

[ he bristles a bit at that ] Wynn can fight his own battles, when he so chooses. But he's only one man, and there's an entire world that requires his attention.

[farmgirlfighter]

So he gives us a place to stay, and we go out on his errands.

[everyredcent]

This isn't just a bed and breakfast. You'll do well to realize that.

[farmgirlfighter]

Earn your keep, then. I get it.

[everyredcent]

You'll come to understand in time.

[farmgirlfighter]

I'm sure.

[ A long sip of champagne, then, ] I didn't catch your name.

[everyredcent]

Christos La Krail. [ which is not a drow name in any way, shape, or form. the look on his face is like i dare u to call me on it. ]

[farmgirlfighter]

[ The look on her face says, "I see what you did there. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I see it." ]

Well met, then, La Krail.

[everyredcent]
