WHO || Wynn, any and all Knights not currently on missions
WHAT || Squiring Ceremony Afterparty
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || April 1st, 2012, 9:00PM
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 none of you are 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.

[Finnick is here, mingling and such just like he was at his own squiring, but something is different.

Namely, he hasn't seen Katniss or Haymitch around the castle in like forever and it's driving him crazy. Even if they didn't remember him, they were ... from home and as close to normalcy as he was going to get. What if something happened to them? What if the Capitol somehow found them and kidnapped them and now they're off being tortured???? The possibilities are endless.

But he's going to approach Wynn and act like that is not on his mind at all. X( ]

Tonight seems subdued.

[wynn]

I wouldn't quite go so far. Perhaps it seems that way, with so many Knights on missions at this time. [The thought of which seems to make him rather thoughtful.]

You've been here a month and are yet to be assigned, but I imagine we'll find someplace for you soon.

[65]

You were saving the best for last, naturally. [or so he will tell himself.]

[wynn]

[He seems mildly amused] One of the other squires recently returned from a mission that is still well underway. I've been considering seeking a replacement.

[65]

[Hey, sounds good to him.] What kind of mission?

[wynn]

You might call it treasure hunting.

[65]

I've always wanted to be a pirate.

[wynn]

Not that kind of plundering. Artifact recovery, of something that's been lost for quite a long time.

[65]

Sounds like it could be interesting.

[wynn]

One of the leads the team pursued has directed them to New Orleans. If you'd like to rendezvous with them there, we can arrange to have you sent.

[65]

Sign me up. It has to be better than wandering around here, waiting for something to happen.

[wynn]

Perhaps you'll be grateful for the respite, afterwards.
