after-party ♔ july

WHO || Wynn, any and all Knights not currently on missions (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 || July 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.

[ is she afraid wynn will bite her tho.

b/c here he is. ] Sir Sage. Enjoying yourself this evening?

[celerystick]

[Oh holy shit Wynn why would you even. Where did you even come from.]

Y-Yes, sir.

[bluff 10]

[wynn]

I was hoping to hear how you've been settling in.

[celerystick]

[Her lips press together as she nods. It makes sense that he'd want to know.]

Better.

[Which wasn't a lie. It got a little easier everyday. It feels like the longer she's been here, the less she's felt a tie to her old organization and their teachings.]

Everyone's been very welcoming. I guess I'm just anxious to get out into the field.

[wynn]

You feel prepared for whatever you might face?

[celerystick]

I realize that some of the...circumstances might be different here, but I think I can be adaptable.

[And what she doesn't know, she assumes she can look up along the way.]

[wynn]

A commendable attitude. You seem to have displaced some of your... initial discomfort, or at least learned to work within it.

I imagine that cannot be an easy transition.

[celerystick]

It's funny. The longer I've been here, the more...distant I've felt from the Alchemists.

[Her finger idly traces her tattoo, the symbol she bears of her previously stronger attachment to them. Strange, considering the reason she feels this way is both due to her time here and the fact that she hasn't been re-inked with compulsion-filled Moroi blood mixed with gold.]

They're the ones that taught me that magic was evil. [And vampires.] Maybe...they were wrong.

[wynn]

The most difficult thing any of us can do is to be forced to reconsider the convictions we have had instilled in us by others we trust. To even begin to take that journey requires a great strength of character.

[celerystick]

[It takes her a moment to process that. It's...quite the compliment really, even if she's still unsure about her decision in that regard.]

Thank you, sir. I'm glad you think so.

[wynn]

[ a nod. ] Enjoy the rest of your evening, Sir Sage.
