CLOSED ♔ knighting ceremony

[sirsolace]

WHO || Wynn, Myri, Solace, Kat Samcelot, Risa Vergara, past and present Team Failboat members, various other unnamed members of the Dragon's Light [closed]
WHAT || Myri's full Knighting ceremony; induction into the Dragon's Light
WHERE || Knight's Headquarters, the Great Hall
WHEN || Wednesday, October 3rd, evening (forward dated)
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.

Myri's invitees are given seats of honor at the front of the ranks of the Dragon's Light members - a comparatively small sect, and Kat, Wynn, and the incredibly stoic Sir Solace, section head of the Light, wait up at the front of the room for Myri to approach them, 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.

"Approach and kneel, Sir Myrilandel."

CEREMONIAL SPIEL

[sirsolace]

[ SUP MYRI ]

[witchwoman]

[Myri does not feel at home in the armor she was given, but she wears it for the ceremony because it is expected of her. Still, she makes wearing it look easy with a Dex check of 21 to thankfully keep her from making a fool out of herself as she walks towards the three of them. She kneels, bowing her head in respect and also to hide her 'holy shit nervous' face.

As a side note, Amaranth is there because that's how she rolls. He's on his best behavior, sitting calmly beside her. He's chosen to expose his true form at the ceremony, and while his wings are tucked to his sides, they are quite visible.]

[wynn]

Sir de Tanos. You have demonstrated a commitment to the ideals of this organization that has been deemed sufficient to induct you into our order as a full Knight of the Silver Dragon. We ask at this time that you answer this question honestly:

Do you wish to accept this position?

[witchwoman]

[She lifts her gaze from the floor, looking to Wynn and taking a deep breath.]

I do.

[wynn]

Do you swear to respect all weaknesses, and constitute yourself the Defender of them?

[witchwoman]

Until my dying breath.

[dramatic but she means every word]

DEM GUESTS

[rationalizes]

[ omg guys try to behave yo'selves this time

maybe ]

[bigbad]

[Spike's here! And on time, without popcorn, because he's a respectable bloody knight okay and he'd never besmirch the honour of Myri's ceremony with rudeness.

Just kidding he just didn't think of it until it was too late.

So yeah he's just chilling in his seat, shooting dirty looks at Sir Solace because he still holds a grudge.]

[slay]

[ it's ok buffy doesn't have popcorn this time but she has peanut m&m's and is sitting besides spike with a proud smile because they're just ... parents. ]

[bigbad]

[And Spike just sticks his hand out in front of her instead of asking because SHE OWES HIM after all that popcorn.]

She looks good up there.

[OUR LITTLE GIRL ALL GROWN UP.]

[slay]

[ she doesn't get his m&ms out for him because he's not her baby bird and she's not obligated to get his food for him and throw up in his mouth. but she tilts the bag towards him so he can dig around in there and get it out. never mind that it's in her lap. you're welcome to her goodies, spike. ]

Looks like she belongs up there. [ she concurs as she glances over at him, only briefly. ]

[65]

[idk why finnick bothers trying to pretend he's not into myri. it's obvious from the way the watches her with a brain damaged lovestruck look on his face.]

[shootfirst]

[ which doesn't escape kat's notice. so she's staring at you with one eye screwed up like she just swallowed a lemon ball. ]

[65]

[when he finally notices kat looking at him he wipes that look off his face yes siree. FEELINGS???? WHAT ARE THOSE.]

afterparty/congrats

[shootfirst]

[ let's do dis ]

ota!

[witchwoman]

[Little timid Myri has a grin on her face. It's over! She did it! And it was only inducing of a mild heart attack! Amaranth is trailing at her heels as makes her rounds to thank everyone for coming.]

[shootfirst]

[ yeahhh kat has to find her first ok ] Heyyyyy, now there's my little protege-all-grown-up!

[witchwoman]

[Totally acceptable. She blushes and smiles.]

I still have some growing to do, I think.

[shootfirst]

That's what being a Full Knight is all about! [ she raises a hand for a hi-five ]

[bigbad]

[Spike doesn't wait for her to make her rounds. He goes over to her and clasps her shoulder from behind, grinning over at her.]

Nice work, Sir Myri.

[witchwoman]

[Myri smiles up at Spike.]

How very strange to be a Knight in earnest.

[bigbad]

Not so strange. Buffy and I were talking. As far as we're concerned, you've been a Knight as long as we've known you. In all the ways that matter.

I FORGOT TO COME BACK HERE IN THE FLOOD OF NEW POSTS

[slay]

[ don't mind buffy, she'll just be giving you an enormous hug when she sees you out of armor. ] Congratulations!

GEEZ HDU

[witchwoman]

[Myri catches the hug at the last moment.]

Thank you!

FLOG ME AS YOU SEE FIT

[slay]

Feel any different? I think you look taller.
