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.

[lastdragomir]

It would be quite the welcome.

[nepotism]

"What light through yonder... horizon breaketh..."

[lastdragomir]

[Lissa snickers.] It is the east and...

[nepotism]

Oh, I see you're already familiar with my work.

[lastdragomir]

I didn't realize the Bard was so young. And... not dead.

[nepotism]

It's the dragonblood that keeps me young and spry. And I blew up too fast, like Elvis and had to fake my own death. You know how it is.

[lastdragomir]

Dragonblood.

[Sadly she is not the kind of vampire whose first thought is "I wonder what that tastes like".]

[nepotism]

Of the appropriately silver variety, even.

[lastdragomir]

As in Knights of...? [...oh. So dragons are real. That is... new.]

[nepotism]

The very same. I'm descended from Wynn, actually, who's got the most silver dragon blood around here. [ he waves a hand ] I'm way, way down the line. Not all that impressive.

[lastdragomir]

[She laughs a little, stunned.] I'm actually quite impressed. This is going to sound so rude now, but I didn't think dragons were real.

[nepotism]

Well, if you makes you feel better, they are pretty damn rare. Most people never see one.

[lastdragomir]

I always thought they were fairy tales, but I guess... people think the same of -- lots of things that exist. [Like her! Yay mythical heritage!]

[nepotism]

Like Nessie?

[lastdragomir]

No, now you must be joking.

[nepotism]

I would never joke about such a serious topic.

[lastdragomir]

The Loch Ness Monster... [Everything she knows is a lie.] And I thought vampires was it.

[nepotism]

Vampires are pretty fluffy next to some of the things out there going bump in the night.

[lastdragomir]

So they're not really all Bram Stoker's Dracula?

[nepotism]

I think they'd get a lot of crap wearing those capes out in public.

[lastdragomir]

They could bring them back into style. Hipster vampires. Capes are very dramatic.

[nepotism]

They also get stuck in doors really easily.

[lastdragomir]

I feel like propellers would be dangerous. And escalators.

[nepotism]

Really ruins one's creature of the night vibe to fall down an escalator.

[lastdragomir]

They do like to live dangerously though.
