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.

Sure, alright.

[He rubs the back of his neck before he tries to explain.]

You were a pilot for the Resistance. You were captured by the First Order, and I helped you escape. I sort of defected at the same time.

[newgenwraith]

[there's a scoff there]

I may not remember anything, but I don't think I'd be dumb enough...

[oh wait, yeah Poe you are dumb enough to get captured]

You helped me escape?

[militarized]

Yeah, after you were interrogated, or I assume that's what they did. We stole a TIE fighter and ended up crashing on the nearby planet. I didn't see you for awhile after that.

[newgenwraith]

I don't crash. [he knows that for certain. Pilot ego]

[militarized]

We were shot down and you managed a very rough landing. Then the ship got swallowed up by the desert.

[Sounds like crashing to him.]

[newgenwraith]

See, you said so yourself: I landed. [not crashed]

[militarized]

If you call not being able to take off again, landing.

[A beat.]

We survived, alright. It was more than I was hoping for considering.

[newgenwraith]

As long as you can walk away, and things don't explode on you... it's a landing.

[he grins]

So you adjusting alright to this place? I know it ain't back home - what I remember of it - but the people here are good.
