WHO || Wynn, any and all Knights not currently on missions
WHAT || Squiring Ceremony Afterparty
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || Dec 1st, 2012, 6:00PM SUPER BACKDATED
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.

for finnick but also ota;

[ there's a wrinkle face elf snake man hunting down finnick. it's easy to see he's on a mission but if anyone wants to interrupt him, uh, more power... to them... ]

[65]

[ (disguise 16) finnick is here, lookin' pretty classy, just doing his thang. he hasn't seen myri yet, so he's kind of casually wandering around the room hoping to spot her.

only to find his stupid mentor person instead. 8( seeing how he's only really talked to hasmed like once and he didn't seem particularly receptive to finnick's life, finnick had basically disregarded him and decided he didn't need no mentor telling him how to run his life.

sooo seeing him again actually felt kind of awkward ngl.]

Looking for someone?

[finnick hopes it's not actually him so he can continue his pursuit of the v ... ]

[eldritchweaver]

[ no such luck broseidon ]

Actually, yes. I was looking for you, Sir Odair. To have a little chat, regarding your performance.

[65]

[isn't that always the way .o. ]

Really? I hope it isn't anything too dreadful.

[eldritchweaver]

Is that what you would expect from a review of the reports filed by the Dragon's Claws?

[65]

Of course not. What kind of self-esteem would I have if I only expected the worst? I'm very professional.

[eldritchweaver]

Hm. [ it's a disgruntled 'hm' and it's clear that he thinks you're a cocky little pile o' sass, but he still says: ] They both had quite a bit to say regarding your dedication to the mission.

[65]

[he'd rather be seen as cocky than weak tbh.] Oh?

[eldritchweaver]

Yes. They were impressed, it seems, with how little regard you had for your own potentially destroyed future in taking this path.

That sounds a great deal like recklessness to me.

[65]

I thought of it as dedication. How much should I matter as long as the mission gets done?

[eldritchweaver]

Noble, albeit short-sighted.

Tell me, Sir Odair. Where do you see yourself fitting within our organization?

[65]

I'm good at saying the right things and pretending to be something I'm not. Not a bad fighter either, although perhaps a bit out of practice at this point.

[eldritchweaver]

Your self-assessment would seem to match all reports.

[ he straightens ] The Dragon's Tongue wishes to invite you to become a member of their order.

[65]

[he looks surprised for a moment, but immediately regains composure.]

How could I refuse that?

[eldritchweaver]

Sir Koraith will be pleased to hear it. You're allowed to announce your impending induction, then, and invite those who you feel have impacted your road to Knighthood.

[65]

Absolutely. [how do you thank someone who has had p much nothing to do with getting you where you are today but you probably should thank anyway...?]

I assume you'll be there?

[nailed it.]

[eldritchweaver]

As required, yes.
