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!)

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.

[Ashe nods again slowly, offering her understanding.]

You're cautious. There's nothing wrong with that.

[A little caution rarely ever hurt anyone.]

But I hope that you do find this place meets your expectations, in that case. That you find something good here for yourself.

I know a few people who might disagree with that idea.

[ It's said lightly because she knows in reality, they'd probably be all for caution as long as caution didn't result in hesitation. Since hesitation tended to get people killed. She'd rather not be a spirit for someone to talk to, thank you very much. ]

But, yes. I'll take good for a change. [ She had enough blood on her hands, there wasn't a need to add more. Not right now. ] Seems to be a theme around here, that search for something good or rewarding... For whatever reason. Karma, love, acceptance... Just goes to show how dynamic we all are. [ Or at least how dynamic everyone she met was because no two reasons for joining seemed to be the same. It was cool. ]

I think it's a theme most everywhere, don't you? It may not seem that way at first, but deep down, isn't that what most of us wants?

[She's always thought so, even if she knows that realistically, people are more varied. Still, at the core of them, it seems to her like everyone wants the same thing to a certain degree, even if they go about it different ways, or don't quite realize what it is that they want.]

Most of us want something better for ourselves, or the people we care about.
