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, the battle axes aren't standard issue. Now that? That's the Excaliber, and yes, like the sword from King Arthur. It's a gun, and everyone gets one when you go through orientation. [ Pause. ] I'd show you mine, but it's in my room. Holster doesn't really go with this dress, you know?

[ She smiles brightly. ] But there are some axes and Hide members that wield them. There's, like, a rack of them in the training room.

[picksthenames]

Fashion over function, I can dig it.

I think I'll stay out of the training room. I would just embarrass and-or hurt myself with an ax.

[watcherjunior]

Well, there's more than just axes. They're a little like bowling balls, though. You gotta find the one that fits you the best.

[picksthenames]

There are still guns, though, right? Tell me there're still guns.

[watcherjunior]

Of course there's guns. I'd make a joke abou America and the Second Amendment, but... we're in England.

[picksthenames]

God bless our right to bear arms.

[ He smiles but then his smile vanishes as his mind runs wild. ]

There's not... people like that here, right? People with bear arms?

[ He ran into some snake people when he got here. Anything's possible. ]

[watcherjunior]

No! I think you're totally safe from that. I mean, I haven't seen anything like that, and I've fought a Shelob-sized spider.

[ Not alone, but who needs that detail? ]

[picksthenames]

[ He appreciates the reference. A+, 10/10. ]

So you got giant spiders, I got snake people... but no bear people. ...Yet.
