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 must be nice... I'm sure as a scholar, of sorts, you must understand how unnerving it is to suddenly know nothing of the history of the world.

I'm no... philosopher or historian... but it bothers me to feel so... alien in this place.
I fear I'll spend much of my free time in the coming months just studying...

[ex_ric243]

Tell me about it.

[Not that it ... bothered him quite as much. Alaric kind of had a boner for that sort of thing, and the idea of learning about all of the differences this world had to offer did have its appeal.

At the same time he'd much rather be back where the world was only semi-crazy and he could at least pretend to manage his sad life. Plus, you know, Elena actually remembered him back home.]

You've been here, what, a few months now?

[thesleeper]

[Phineas laughs a little.]

I wish... Hopefully I'll be more settled after a few months; but no, I've only just been here since last month.

[ex_ric243]

You seem pretty comfortable with things already. [If the happy-go-lucky, nosediving through a table personality was any indication.]

You had me fooled, at least. [Which isn't saying much lbr. You're drunk, Ric, go home.]

[thesleeper]

[Drunkenness abounds! Phineas grabs another drink off a passing tray while finishing his. He isn't sure, but he could swear the waitress shakes her head and mutters something about avoiding this part of the room...]

Well, way I figure it, not much sense in worrying about things beyond my control.

At least I've got access to the library and computers for study, and more importantly all the liquor I can drink. I'll work this place out at my own pace, it's been enjoyable enough so far.

[ex_ric243]

[Even Ric is having a hard time keeping up at this point. He's not sure whether that makes him impressed or concerned by Phineas' superhuman liver.]

Just the same, I think we're both going to end up regretting this in the morning. [All the liquor you can drink didn't necessarily mean that they should try to drink it all in one sitting.]

[thesleeper]

[Fortunately for himself, Phineas' particular magecraft lends itself well to drunkenness. That said, he's already gone far beyond rational limits this evening]

True enough, friend. I think I may call it an evening... I'm sure I'll see you around the castle.

[He sort of half-bows then shambles and stumbles his way out of the grand hall... He has a peculiar way of keeping his speech articulate while his body barely functions]
