WHO || Wynn, any and all Knights not currently on missions (brazil & nevada groups will be returned! if you are uncertain if your character would be at the castle for this, ask!)
WHAT || Squiring Ceremony Afterparty
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || May 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.

[That red shirt makes all the difference. Really. Vi looks smoking, but also a little like it was an accident, which it was since her idea of picking out clothes is whatever is closest so... She strolls over with a smile at least.]

What's up, Hot Sauce.

[Well hey, that's a pretty good nickname. See if it ever leaves. Pro-tip: it's not gonna.]

[bigbad]

[Hey, he's had worse. At least she's not calling him Captain Peroxide.]

Searching out my new squire. [Can you tell how diligently he's been looking? Srsly non-stop. As soon as he's done with his drink.]

[graveflowers]

[Hot Sauce is clearly a term of endearment.]

Yeah, you look like you're really looking hard. Clearly you need a break then.

[bigbad]

...I'm working on it. [He's never had a squire before it's NERVEWRACKING.]

[graveflowers]

[Vi gives him a little side eye with her sense motive 21.]

Uh-huh. You doing okay with that?

[bigbad]

[He scowls at her because he does not appreciate being called on that.]

Yes, love. Just not particularly used to being in charge of anyone.

[graveflowers]

[Completely not fussed.]

I'm sure you'll do fine. [And she means it, she doesn't know him well at all, but he reacted swiftly when she all but maced herself, so she's pretty trusting of his ability to not fail.]

[bigbad]

[Her confidence gets a smile, though he isn't sure he agrees.]

Thanks, pet. Suppose I can't bugger it up more than my mentor did, at least.

[graveflowers]

That bad? [Oh, is this like office gossip? All they need is a water cooler.]

[bigbad]

He only tried to kill me once. I'd say I got off easy, except for the smell.

[graveflowers]

Only once, that's sure swell of him. [That is a reasonable definition of easy, in her opinion. What's bloodshed among friends.] Did he not know about the advent of indoor plumbing?

[bigbad]

He lived in a tiny cabin in the woods. So no, I don't think he did.

[graveflowers]

Wait... no. They give him squires? Why? ...you mean Lan, right? [Wis 18]

[bigbad]

I must've really pissed off Wynn when we met.

[graveflowers]

Wow. That is... impressive.
