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.

You've made that clear enough. [His voice drops with his gaze, all the confidence and swagger lost from him as he watches her back away.]

Still think you've been too hasty about the whole thing.

[asap]

Do you really? Or are you just lying about that too? [Sorry, bro, she doesn't trust you at all anymore.]

[bluffcheck]

It's easy to brush it off as that simple, I bet. [He steps closer, because what is personal space.]

Don't be like that, lass. Just talk to me. Please.

[asap]

[At least she finally meets his eyes, though she looks miserable about it.]

I can't trust you, Thoster. Don't you get how seriously not good that is in a relationship? How much of the past.... [She's too anxious to translate speester time into real time. How long ago did they meet? She can't even remember.] ...forever was even real?

[bluffcheck]

Yeah, and instead of sticking around to talk to me about, you ran off and won't let me near you! Things aren't always black and white like you want them to be, lass. A man like me lives in the gray areas- but that doesn't mean that I don't mean what I say when it's important.

[asap]

[She looks almost exasperated.] Fine, I'm not judging you. But that doesn't mean I want to date you either. Being a jerk isn't a shades of grey thing, it's just... being a jerk.

[bluffcheck]

I can't do much to change your mind, lass. I can't make you want me, or convince you to give me another chance. I also can't promise that I'll always be completely honest with you. That's just the way of things. And if that means we can't be on good terms, then I'm sorry that I hurt you. I never meant to, but that's not enough to keep it from being true.
