[eldritchweaver]

WHO || Wynn, Faye, Nessa,  Hasmed, Gold, Lila, Andie, Felicity, Emma, Diana, Tia, Alainn, Zero, Zatanna,  various other unnamed members of the Dragon's Fire [closed]
WHAT || Faye's full Knighting ceremony; induction into the Dragon's Fire
WHERE || Knight's Headquarters, the Great Hall
WHEN || December 30th, 2013 evening [Super backdated]
HOW || Actionspam

Unlike the grandiose nature of the squiring ceremony each Knight undergoes upon their initial entrance into the Knighthood, the graduation to Full Knight status takes place in a much more intimate affair, between the Knight, their mentor, invited friends, and the members of the sect to which they will be inducted. There's no pompous music, no stolid rank and file, no elaborate march.

Faye's invitees are given seats of honor at the front of the ranks of the Dragon's Fire members  and Nessa, Wynn, and Hasmed wait up at the front of the room for Faye to approach them, but the attitude of the ceremony is much more relaxed, full of smiles and light conversation on all sides from the other sect members.

Wynn finally gets things rolling, by saying in his loud listen-to-me voice: "Approach and kneel, Sir Faye Chamberlain."

Dragon's Tongue, duh.

[reallywicked]

Don't they kiss a lot of ass? [She would have no patience for that tbh]

[bittersweeter]

Diplomacy is not about kissing ass, Chamberlain. Diplomacy is the art of telling someone to go to hell in such a way as they ask directions.

[ yeah, she didn't make that gem up, that would be the lovely winston churchill. ]

[reallywicked]

[No one is very surprised that faye doesn't recognize the quote.]

Uh huh. And the fact that you have a failsafe way to make sure they listen doesn't hurt.

[bittersweeter]

No it does not.

[reallywicked]

Alright, so... Dragon's Tongue. Could be worse. [She recalls someone else she knows who works there.] You should talk to Dumage. She's been gone a lot lately, but I'm pretty sure she works with them. If anyone could convince Eric to play nice? It'd be her.

[bittersweeter]

[ lila has actually met dumage but neither of them bothered to introduce themselves so she doesn't realize this. she shrugs lightly, eric will get around to it. ] If I can't talk my way in on my own, I'm not sure I'd deserve it. I can handle Eric.

[ mine. ha, it's gonna be funny when he gets a squire after her and lila gets annoyed. ]

[reallywicked]

[Faye shrugs. She doesn't have nearly the connection to Nessa like Lila has to Eric.]

Of course you can. [Not even a smidge of sarcasm. She doesn't doubt you, gurl.] But he sounds like a dumb ass.

[bittersweeter]

He is. [ lol she is such a shitty squire, omg. ] Who else did you invite?

[reallywicked]

Gold, Felicity, Emma... Diana. [She scoffs a laugh.] Don't know if she'll show. Figured it was worth it to see her face.

[bittersweeter]

[ high five. she is proud of your gloat. ] You are good quality, Faye. Good god damn quality.

[reallywicked]

[Like an actual high five? Because Faye is down for that.]

Don't tell me you're just now figuring that out?

[bittersweeter]

[ actual high five. dex 17 ]

You're a slow blossoming flower. [ aka no you weren't before. jk boo, she's just being a brat. ]

[reallywicked]

[Dex 19, That was a really good high five okay.]

You're such a bitch.

[aka never leave me]

[bittersweeter]

[ aww yeah motherfuckers. ]

I know, right. I feel like I should put that shit on my résumé.

[reallywicked]

[She snorts a laugh]

Yeah, by now that's a perfected skill set.

[bittersweeter]

Capable of making grown men cry for their mommies, yeeaaah. [ she pats faye's arm fondly. ] Don't worry, baby, you'll get there one day.

[ seriously, i don't know how they manage to occasionally convince people that they're not lesbians, if not at least friends. they harass each other more than a married couple. ]

[reallywicked]

Whatever. [But she's still smiling. Because they are basically married and it's gross.] So I guess I'm going to get a swanky new room in the Dragon's Fire wing. Guess I should figure out who I want to help me break it in.

[bittersweeter]

You're such a slut. [ which sounds like a compliment, a slightly jealous compliment. ]

[reallywicked]

It's not my fault you save it for Prince Harry. [Sorry, even if she knows now- that's forever his name. It's just more sarcastic now.]

[bittersweeter]

He's worth it. [ the words are out of her mouth before she realizes she sounds like the biggest sap ever and it's gross and no, ew. god damn it. ]

[reallywicked]

[Faye just laughs.]

Wow. Someone has it bad. [Which is a masking for her own slight jealousy. But what is needing people.]

[bittersweeter]

Shut up. Okay, so who is on our list of thoroughly fuckable guys? Bancroft. [ no, she will never take him off the list, just because he is so beautiful. he is prince william in that scene in the princess diaries two. ] Fred, Aurelius, the ginger kid you made run away, Sebastian. That guy from your mission with the dead baby, whatshisface. Miles. God, I would tap that so hard he would come maple syrup.

[reallywicked]

God I know. Apparently he works on the cars in the garage in his spare time. Got that whole... blue collar sexy thing going for him.

[bittersweeter]

That's unfairly attractive. [ she sidles a little closer to her boo, flicking the screen of her phone until it lands on a picture of lila sticking her tongue out with her arm around prince harry. she clears her throat slightly. ] How'd I do?
