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.

[He doesn't say anything further on it, either. It was an observation more than anything else, a quiet reflection of the information he remembers colliding with the memories he lacks.]

If we were here to be Guardians, we would not have let the Moroi in Chicago stay behind. [They would have demanded to stay with him, to protect him.] We're knights now, with a bigger role to play.

[His expression was serious, but also friendly and kind.]

I would be protecting Ser Lissa, my comrade-in-arms, not a Dragomir princess.

[lastdragomir]

[She nods once, decisive, and smiles again.] Good. [And oh she likes that, being a comrade-in-arms, because it puts her on near equal footing and she's never been that.]

[likeagod]

Good.

[He nods once in return. He knows about how things worked between Guardians and the Moroi, even if he doesn't remember living it. His impression had always been that the Moroi thought themselves above the Dhampirs, not the other way around.

Still, they were all the same here, dealing with a world they needed to learn about, sticking together and helping others like themselves and the less fortunate as best they could.]

[lastdragomir]

Have you been here long? [Its probably be easier to get the basics from Dimitri, since with Rose they still had to wade through weird.... ~feelings.]

[likeagod]

My squiring ceremony was back in March, though I arrived through the Veil a month or two before that.

[So yes, a decent chunk of time, to be sure.]

[lastdragomir]

Oh wow, that's a while. [Her mind wanders for a second, a lot of things could happen in six months, she knew all too well.] Do you like it?

[likeagod]

I do.

[His smile is soft and genuine as he nods.]

And Rose is here, and now you. I hope you come to think of it as home as well.

[lastdragomir]

[Her eyes immediately cut to Rose across the room, a small smile flittering across her face. It already feels like home, because Rose was her missing piece. She looks back at Dimitri and her smile deepens.]

I think I will.
