WHO || Belle, Reynard, open if people want to bang into them, just threadjack wherever.
WHAT || Belle meets with her new squire
WHERE || Knight's HQ, Main Library
WHEN || Thursday afternoon, March 7th
HOW || Actionspam

[ Reynard woke to an eloquently written invitation slipped under his door, a folded letter explaining that Belle, his mentor Knight, would be in the library for most of the day, and to please come locate her to get acquainted at some point.

When he makes his way into the large repository of books, lined with stacks and sporting a balcony higher up, along with many arches along the back wall which lead into smaller rooms with specialized sections of books. Many tables are spread out to allow for research, and at one of these sits a petite brunette, pouring over an incredibly large tome. For the moment, she's the only one in sight. ]

ORIENTATION ♔ feeling this short of a love that we once knew

WHO || Tia, Amrita, open if people want to bang into them, just threadjack wherever.
WHAT || Tia meets with her new squire
WHERE || Knight's HQ, Dining Hall
WHEN || Thursday afternoon, March 7th
HOW || Actionspam

[ The castle serves several meals a day in the dining hall, provided by non-Knight Shadowkind staff, and it's usually pretty impressive fare. Today's, however, has been on the mediocre side, and while Amrita's eating, she'd see the dark haired woman who'd been staring at her at the ceremony, just a few seats down, picking at it. She looks up, and then double takes, smiling slightly. ]

Good to know lunch wasn't a complete bust. I've been meaning to track you down. Amrita, isn't it?

ORIENTATION ♔ others have excuses, but I have my reasons why

[ So remember how Lila was skulking around the firing range since it ~felt like home~? Well, guess who comes up behind her while she's pointing at a target today, sounding annoyed as hell? ]

What do you think you're doing?

WHO || Kat, Violet, open if people want to bang into them, just threadjack wherever.
WHAT || Kat meets with her new squire

WHEN || Thursday evening, March 7th
HOW || Actionspam

[ Vi actually gets a text message from her Knight inviting her to come 'chillax upstairs' in one of the comfortable rec rooms near the Dragon's Hide wing. When she makes her way up there, a blonde in combat boots is slumped in a couch, playing X-Box and swearing up a storm into her headset. A small black cat is curled up apparently sleeping on a pillow beside her. ]

Yeah, well why don't you hop a flight and come say that to my foot in your ass? GO DIE IN A CAR CRASH.

First of all, in his invitation to this orientation, Sir Hughes didn't offer any clues as to the location of the Dragon's Hoard Lab, so you're all on your own in finding it.  A 13+ Navigate or even a 11+ Gather Information check will send you in the right direction, however, as it's actually pretty simple to locate.  However, as the squires begin gathering,  itt's starting to look as if Sir Hughes... forgot.  When he does finally shows up, twenty minutes later, he's coming down the hall in a pair of sweat pants and a white stained shirt. He mumbles an apology as he pats his pockets down to try and locate his card, before finally discovering it was tucked behind his ear with an "Aha!" He fumbles it through the reader, and the doors labelled "Biohazard" slide open.

He guides them through the bizarre multi-storied library and up the steps, beyond the models suspended from the ceiling that look like space age designs for jet planes, cars, boats, and any number of other things. At the end of the balcony he swipes his card through the reader with a much higher degree of ease and then ushers them all inside.

"Yeah, step right up, let's go," he mutters, making hurrying motions,  even if he was the one who ... showed up late. The doors depress with a space age his. revealing a clean white laboratory, with rows and rows of tables and lab equipment set up. Numerous knights buzz around in white lab coats, working under microscopes and on computers, conferring over a number of projects.

"This is the lab, where the Hoard does their research, most of you will never have to come in here, and probably for the best, at that" he says, waving a hand vaguely in that direction as he heads for the left hand side of the room. He places his palm on a panel there until the red light blinks green, and then moves into the narrower space there - a long room with rows of labelled cases and cabinets with transparent glass revealing what's inside.
