WHAT || Squiring Ceremony Afterparty
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || Mar 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.

I've heard plenty of reports that it's like that. I wouldn't know, firsthand.

[likeagod]

How many are there like myself?

[lissatrinall]

Displaced from your home world? Thousands. It's been happening for thousands of years, after all.

Displaced from your specific world? That's a more interesting question. This phenomena of arrivals from somewhere other than Faerun only started in the last year or so, from what we've been able to document. It's hard to estimate how widespread it is.

[likeagod]

There must be a reason for it, though I can't begin to imagine what it could be.

[lissatrinall]

Well, the long held theory has been that the walls between Faerun's dimension and ours were particularly weak. Maybe it's a chain effect, increasing exponentially. Which means theoretically, some day those walls could crumble altogether.

[likeagod]

So you think that it's affecting other dimensions too, spreading as it goes?

[Crumbling sounds bad.]

As in there would be nothing to stop even more from crossing back and forth? Or would the two places become one?

[The idea of other dimensions is still rather new for him.]

[lissatrinall]

Some people believe the latter is possible.

[likeagod]

And what do you believe?

[lissatrinall]

Personally, I think the impact would destroy both worlds. But I also find it highly unlikely. The tides come and go, but they don't seem to increase in length of time or expulsion of beings from beyond the Veil.

[likeagod]

Unlikely but not impossible. Still a thing to keep an eye on, I'm sure.

[lissatrinall]

I like to keep my eyes on everything interesting.

[likeagod]

Of course. No doubt that's one of the reasons you hold your position.

[lissatrinall]

It's one of them.

[likeagod]

One of many, I'm sure.

[lissatrinall]

My predecessor died in a terrible lab accident.

I guess I was the best option at the time. [ :) ]

[likeagod]

My apologies.

[:|]

May I ask what happened?

[lissatrinall]

I wasn't in the castle when it occurred, but it seemed to have been due to a reaction between some chemicals and magic entering the area. She died attempting to get the others out.

[likeagod]

[He bows his head every so slightly, and there's reverence in his tone when he speaks.]

That was very noble of her.

[lissatrinall]

It's sort of what we're all about here.

Nobility.
