CLOSED ♔ knighting ceremonies

[wynn]

WHO || Wynn, Dovan, Koraith, Hasmed, Lis'sa, Solace, graduating squires, various members of the Knighthood, invited guests [closed]
WHAT || Full Knighting ceremonies for various squires
WHERE || Knight's Headquarters, the Great Hall
WHEN || Late September BACKDATED
HOW || Actionspam

Unlike the grandiose nature of the squiring ceremony each Knight undergoes upon their initial entrance into the Knighthood, the graduation to Full Knight status takes place in a much more intimate affair, between the Knight, their mentor, invited friends, and the members of the sect to which they will be inducted. There's no pompous music, no stolid rank and file, no elaborate march.

The Knight's new section head, Wynn, and their mentor Knight wait up at the front of the room for their approach, but the attitude of the ceremony is much more relaxed, full of smiles and light conversation on all sides. Of course, when Wynn speaks, people still hush. It's just how he rolls.

"Please kneel."


((Given the large amount of promotions occurring, we will not be doing individual posts/parties for each.  Instead, please there are top comments on this post for each section's ceremonies, and each section's parties.  Feel free to make Drakenet posts or plurks establishing your character's invited guests, and tagging into as much as you would like/handwaving as much as you'd like.))

WHO || Belle, Gold, Gaston [closed]
WHAT || Belle introduces Gold to her "husband" ... It goes probably as well as you'd expect it to
WHERE || London, Scotland

Upon returning from Andres, Belle finally managed to admit something she'd been keeping from Gold ever since he was gone to Scotland in the summertime:  that she'd discovered her fiancee from the Enchanted Forest was here, and been helping support his transition to this world ever since.

And more importantly, that he'd told her something she firmly believes to be true - that the Veil stripped her of the memory of their wedding.  Convinced that Gaston is actually her husband, she was heartbroken, but told him the truth about her relationship with someone she'd met here.  Hoping it will allow Gaston to move on, Gold has agreed to meet the man, despite his own jealous rising rage over his existence, which he's struggling to keep repressed on top of his growing identity crisis.

It's a recipe for a great Sunday evening.  

Belle directs Gold where to park on the street of the building where Gaston has a flat that... she's been paying for, A+ waifu.  And awkwardly stares out the window at the building as if it might bite.

WHAT || Buffy accompanies Sam to Chicago, seeking answers about Dean's past... and the fate of the version of Sam from this world
WHERE || Chicago, USA

Sam Winchester has not a very easy time of this world.  

Most of the reasons for which, it seems, can be traced back to the fact that there was another Sam Winchester native to this dimension.  One who somehow managed to alienate his brother Dean to the point where he almost murdered Sam on sight, and it's been a very slow, uphill battle ever since to get Dean to say more than two non-hostile words in a row to him.

An uphill battle that's going too slowly for Sam's taste.  

Upon googling his own name and doing some research in hunter circles, he learned more and more disturbing facts - including the fact that he and Dean from this world were held responsible for the deaths of Jo & Ellen Harvelle, and Bobby Singer.  Distraught by what he'd learned, he shared the facts with his new friend, Buffy, who agreed to travel with him to Chicago tracing down one of the only leads they have on finding out more about what happened, since Dean doesn't seem inclined to share.

And so off they go to Chicago - home to some of Buffy's own demons - to check out the Hunter's bar run by Robin Wood.
