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.

They have spells that can do that for you, you know.

[watcherjunior]

And not everyone has access to magic or spells. Nothing wrong with a little old-fashioned hard work. Like, there's calculators and stuff, but they still teach kids how to add and subtract by hand. And long division.

[postergirl]

I suppose I never saw much use in any of that, either.

[watcherjunior]

Good for balancing your checkbook, they said. Though I don't know who still writes checks or has a checkbook these days.

[postergirl]

Luckily, expenses are something we never really have to worry about, here.

[watcherjunior]

So I hear. Definitely a major perk of the job.

[postergirl]

One of a great many, once you know how to use the system to your advantage.

[watcherjunior]

How to use the system. So, bending the rules-ish?

[postergirl]

Well, that's one way. I've always found going around them to be much simpler.

[watcherjunior]

Huh. I've never really thought of that, I guess.

[postergirl]

Somehow that doesn't particularly surprise me.

[watcherjunior]

It's not as obvious as having a flashing neon sign over my head, is it?

[postergirl]

Only to those of us who know how to read people.

[watcherjunior]

Wonderful. And those of us who don't know how look like... well. Probably idiots.

[postergirl]

Your words, not mine. [ but oh so clearly her intention ]

[watcherjunior]

Something tells me it was headed that direction.

[postergirl]

Well, now, that's merely an assumption on your part. Dangerous things to make, around here.
