[eldritchweaver]

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."

after-party

[cigam]

[ ain't no after-party like a mage's after-party because a magic after-party has a giant heroes' feast, colorful lights floating around the ceiling, and beautiful magical illusions everywhere to deck the place out. awww yeah. ]

Faye | ota

[reallywicked]

[NOW THAT THE BORING PART IS OVER...

She needs a drink. Or five. Jesus Christ did that really happen? Is she a Knight now? Faye is still a little flustered by this turn of events. But if there's one thing this girl knows how to do, it is party... especially when it's a party being held in her honor. Hell yeah.]

[undealt]

[DADDY'S SO PROUD, FAYE. It's clearly written on his face too when he approaches her.]

Well. You made it, my dear. Welcome to the Dragon's Fire.

[reallywicked]

[She can't help but smile when Gold approaches. He's proud and she knows it. What she didn't expect was to be so happy to see him proud.]

Thanks. I guess now is when the fun starts, huh?

[undealt]

If by fun, you mean getting you're own squire and being expected to be a role model, then yes. But I doubt that's anything you can't handle. You've come a long way.

[reallywicked]

Lila thinks Wynn will give me a troublemaker as payback.

[bittersweeter]

[ lila swans over with a drink to shove in faye's hands because she is a true boo. ] I'm not buying you another present for this. [ christmas only. no more. ]

[reallywicked]

[Taking the drink, Lila might recognize that bracelet she's wearing. lesbians She smirks.]

And here I was hoping for matching earrings. Glad you could make it.

[bittersweeter]

Don't get your hopes up. [ but she totally pulls out a little box with a pair of earrings from her dress. spending money is how she shows affection. the bracelet was a present and a barb -- since faye needed a bracelet to replace the one lila won in their bet. the earrings are just a present. ] I already bought it, so this doesn't count.

[reallywicked]

[Opening the box, Faye has a victorious sort of smile. Nailed it. But instead of rubbing in that she got it exactly right, she just makes quick work of replacing the earrings she has on for the new ones.]

Uh huh. So what do you think? Do I look knightly enough?

[asap]

[SPEED HUG ATTACK.]

[reallywicked]

[oh god oh god oh god]

So I was thinking, maybe we cou- AHH! [Faye was in the middle of talking to some random member of the Dragon's Fire that we will handwave existing or something. Next thing she knows, she's all but tackled by Andie's hug. Once she figures out what's going on, she just starts laughing.]

Hey.

[asap]

[The hug doesn't last long. Andie has a pretty high hug tolerance, but she also has superspeed so a few seconds is a long enough hug.] I'm so happy for you! You totally did it!

[reallywicked]

Well, yeah. You didn't doubt me, did you? [She's still laughing and catching her breath from being caught off guard.]

[allmydreams]

[Felicity, for the record? SUPER PROUD OF YOU. It's why she's smiling as she makes her way over with a drink of her own.]

Congrats, Sir Chamberlain.

[reallywicked]

Thanks. [Faye manages a small smile that's actually genuine.] Glad you could make it and weren't too bored during that ceremony.

[allmydreams]

[She shrugs.]

I'm just glad I got to see it before my own. Good to know what to expect. And you certainly had ways of making it your own.

[reallywicked]

Not that different from the squiring stuff. Less to remember. But hey- I'm happy to help you scout it out.

[eldritchweaver]

I imagine I should extend a formal welcome beyond the ceremonial one.

[reallywicked]

Probably. [She says with a too-sweet smile.] Hasmed, right? You're in charge?

[eldritchweaver]

Of the Dragon's Fire, yes. From this day forth, you will report any concerns directly to me. Following missions, your reports will come to me as well.

[allmydreams]

[This is her first promotion after-party shindig and Felicity is taking the time to scope it out a bit. She's glad that her first wasn't her own, just so that she has an idea of what happens, even if she probably won't be winding up in Dragon's Fire.

Magic? Not really her thing.

She'll be mixing and mingling however, so feel free to drop by and poke at her.]

[bittersweeter]

Just me or are magic people kind of weird? [ hey boo, hey. ]

[allmydreams]

[heeeeeeey.]

A little. I think it comes with the whole magic thing.

[bittersweeter]

[ she's eying hasmed like yick. ] Where do you think you'll end up?
