WHO || Wynn, any and all Knights not currently on missions (Slovechnia group will be returned by this point!)
WHAT || Squiring Ceremony Afterparty
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || Feb 1st, 2013, 6:00PM
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 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.

You think so? I don't scare that easily.

[wildmind]

He's had a lot of practice.

[uncease]

You speaking from experience here?

[wildmind]

Technically, he's my section leader. The Dragon's Mind isn't fully recognized as its own. Something about only have two members at present...

[uncease]

Sorry, I'm not... really familiar with all the different group here. Dragon's Mind?

[wildmind]

The psionics division of our little group of magic users. Psionics and magics aren't actually the same at all, but we're such a rare breed that they don't know where to put us.

[uncease]

The mind reading thing? So that's not magic.

[Sure sounds like magic to him...]

[wildmind]

It's more genetic. Unlocking the power of the mind.

[uncease]

So you've been able to do it your whole life?

[wildmind]

It didn't manifest until I was a teenager, actually. And I didn't have the slightest idea how to control it, for some time.

[uncease]

Wow, that must have been some adjustment.

[wildmind]

I wasn't very good at adjusting. [ and she sounds proud of the fact too ]

[uncease]

[He just looks confused and maybe a little alarmed.]

What do you mean by that?

[wildmind]

Psionics are often triggered by emotional reactions, and I had a lot of emotions. And a teenager's inability to reign them in.

[uncease]

[He doesn't remember being a teenager, really, but the concept doesn't escape him. He's worked with 18 year olds at the factory before coming here and they count, right?]

So how'd you learn to control it?

[wildmind]

Tia. I guess you could say I'm still in process on that one.

[uncease]

[Oh, well, that's an interesting admission.]

We're all in process, I think. To some degree, at least.

[wildmind]

A healthy way to look at it.
