WHEN || DECEMBER 10th, evening 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.

Hasmed, Wynn, and Koraith wait up at the front of the room for Finnick 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.

"Sir Finnick Odair, please kneel."

Something besides "plane crash." It's been done. Maybe tragic boating accident.

Dying in a boating accident just feels shameful.

Don't knock it. Even Michael Phelps can't swim to shore when he's got half a propeller blade in his torso.

I'll pass on the propeller blade, as great of an idea as it sounds.

[nothingsodivine]

Hey the more gruesome it sounds, the less likely people are gonna want to demand to see the body. That's showbiz, kid.

[65]

Point taken. I guess this is why I keep you around as my agent.

[nothingsodivine]

Fuck yeah. Also I can schmooze like nobody's business.

[65]

Speaking of, have you learned anything interesting with that recently?

[nothingsodivine]

Nothing about our current situation. Burt knows jack or shit about his brother's bullshit and either everyone else is in the dark or on Chad's side. They don't talk out in the open much.

[65]

Figures.

[He claps Finnick on the back.] Don't worry about it. Burt's a loudmouth. He's bound to get drunk and start spewing vulgarity-laced deets any day now.
