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 || May 1st, 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.

[Well... Clark got a 6 so apparently he showed up to this thing 15 mins because he was doing some work outside, so he's all dirty farmboy style, oops. But hey! He knows that guy! That guy being Cisco!]

Hey! Sorry I missed the ceremony. Congrats on officially joining up.

[picksthenames]

[ Hooray someone recognizable! Cisco smiles at Clark, suddenly bashful. ]

Eh, you didn't miss much. I completely butchered the oath. Started singing Edwin Starr... it was bad.

[clarkfuckingkent]

[he can't help the small smile that cracks at that.]

Maybe nobody noticed.

[they probably did but shh Clark won't say that.]

[picksthenames]

Maybe.

[ Yeah, right. ]

Anyway, how's it going? Haven't seen you since the snake people incident.

[clarkfuckingkent]

It's going alright. Just been doing some work on the grounds. Keeping busy. [Which is why he looks like he was rolling around in a barn...or stable. He might as well have been.]

Almost forgot this was happening today, actually.

[picksthenames]

Yeah? Seems like they make a pretty big deal about it.

[ Not that it's really Cisco's sort of scene. ]

[clarkfuckingkent]

They do. A lot of people show up. It's a great way to get settled in.

[Clark just doesn't really rank himself among those that are most important to meet, so he forgets sometimes. He's still getting used to living here and being a part of the team.]

[picksthenames]

How long have you been here?

[clarkfuckingkent]

A few months. It's an adjustment, but... I like it here.

[picksthenames]

Where'd you come from, before?

[clarkfuckingkent]

Kansas. A place called Smallville.

[picksthenames]

Never been. But all in all, that's not too too far from Central City. You know, compared to London on a completely different Earth.

[clarkfuckingkent]

Yeah, I can't imagine what it feels like for you guys that come through the Veil. It's gotta be an adjustment.

[At least he recognizes his privilege of being AUd to be a native of this world. A+ Clark.]

[picksthenames]

That it is. I'm just lucky I found you guys. Or rather, that Barry found me.
