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.

[Her spirits considerably lifted, Diana catches Tony’s eye and her smile wavers. She recognizes him from the ceremony – she’d been straining not to listen in on his impromptu conversation with one of the other new squires when they were taking their oaths. He looks like he wants to melt into the wall and it only occurs to her after she’s started in his direction that the unpleasant expression on his face is directed at her.] It’s something else, isn’t it? This whole… thing.

[ Well, that's what you get for staring. He only blames himself, but unfortunately that won't make him any more polite. ]

It's a fucking nightmare, is what it is.

[That's okay, she's nice enough for the both of them - and everyone else in the room, honestly.] The party, or being a squire in the first place?

[She supposes joining is a more difficult decision to make when you can remember more than your name and the color of the house you grew up in.]
