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 || July 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.

[ with a 17 disguise, peter is actually having fun putting on some earth fancy-wear over here. but he does appreciate the spacer look that finn is rocking, courtesy of poe, and it draws him over eventually. ] Looking a little lost, amigo.

[militarized]

Ami...go?

[Wat.]

Feeling a little lost, to be honest. [He looks him over a bit.] I've, uh, never been to anything like this.

[starprince]

The castle, the party, or the part where a guy swung a sword near your head?

[militarized]

The first two. Both of them.

[He's definitely had a sword swung near his head, even if it wasn't specifically called a sword.]

[starprince]

There's a story in that omission.

[militarized]

They didn't exactly have parties where I grew up. Or castles. I mean they might have in other parts of the galaxy. Probably.

[starprince]

I mean, you're apparently used to swords being swung your way?

[militarized]

Mostly blasters. Or the occasional vibroblade. And one lightsaber.

[starprince]

Those definitely do not sound like Earth weapons, buddy.

[militarized]

Well, this is my first time on this planet, so that would make sense.

[starprince]

Alright! Wait a minute. Does that mean you have a ship? Like a working ship?

[militarized]

What? No way. I'm no pilot. I just rode on them, shot the guns. That kind of thing.

[starprince]

Bummer. I've been trying to fix mine, but there's this little problem with someone having stolen the engine.

[militarized]

Any idea who it was?

[starprince]

Some government goons. Big surprise, huh?

[militarized]

Oh. Yeah. Totally makes sense.

[starprince]

Wynn thinks we'd be starting a war or something going after it directly. I'm thinking what they don't know can't hurt 'em.

[militarized]

You're gonna try to do it by yourself?

[starprince]

Unless you're volunteering.

[militarized]

[He looks the most unsure.]

What are you going to do when you get it back? Other than fix it, I mean.

[starprince]

What a guy usually does with a spaceship. Take it to space.

[militarized]

Right.

[He wonders what would happen if they had a working spaceship here. Would Rey want to go too? Would he?]

I don't know. I'd have to think about it.

[starprince]

You do that. You know where to find me. [ a beat ] ... Bowling, a lot of times.

[militarized]

Yeah. [He rubs the back of his neck.] You've got it.

[What's bowling? Whatever, he'll figure it out.]

[starprince]

Nice to meet you, man. [ with that, he's gonna grab some snacks and give him a two finger salute off the forehead, before wandering off ]
