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 || January 1st, 2013, 6:00PM [backdated]
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.

[ hmm, she gives kate a shrewd look and nods. ] That's a smart way to go at it.

[killmypatience]

[Kate nods a bit before shrugging.]

I don't remember much from home. I figure if this place is going to treat me like I have a clean slate, then I should keep my options open.

[sorceresslite]

I don't really get the whole clean slate thing.

[killmypatience]

To be honest? I don't really either. But ... I also don't remember enough of my past to say what I really did one way or the other.

[Except being very efficient at running into dead people.]

I think I'm as close to a clean slate as I'm going to get.

[sorceresslite]

I wasn't born here? But I came through the veil when I was just a wee babe, so I don't remember anything at all. [ literally an infant. pm emma swan and august, except finn is awesome and august sucks. ] But loads of people come through later on in life and they make is just fine. I mean, look at Wynn. ...I don't think he was born here. You know what, I haven't got a clue. Scratch that bit. Sir Hasmed, definitely sure he's from the Shadow World, and look at him...

[ WOW ELLA SUCH A GREAT EXAMPLE. ]

[killmypatience]

[Kate frowns a bit before shaking her head.]

I don't think I've met him.

[sorceresslite]

[ she'd point him out, but she cannot find him. whoops. (spot crit fail) ]

He's the head of Dragon's Fire, the magic sect.

[killmypatience]

[An "aha" look crosses her face.]

I haven't spent much time with the magic users. Though I did meet a guy with a crocodile?

[sorceresslite]

Sir Gold. [ she nods with a little smile. ] We're a strange bunch.

[ on cue, her own ginger and white familiar saunters over like hey girl hey, and winds himself around kate's ankles, fluffy tail swishing back and forth. ] Aodhagán, leave her alone. You cannae just beg for pets, you wanker.

[killmypatience]

[Kate laughs softly, before stretching a hand down for the cat to sniff.]

He's beautiful. What does his name mean?

[sorceresslite]

He's spoiled, is what he is. Means bright fire. [ it's pretty fitting, tbh. ]

[killmypatience]

[It is. It goes well with his coloring.]

Spoiled isn't such a bad thing - so long as he's not too spoiled.

[sorceresslite]

He is. [ he huffs. like literally huffs. clearly he does not agree with her sentiments. ] Hear that, y'daft cow, you cannae be too spoilt, the pretty lady said so.

[killmypatience]

[Kate laughs a bit, before addressing the cat directly.]

Sorry. Apparently I'm the authority on these things.

[sorceresslite]

[ after allowing kate to pet him a couple more times, the cat saunters off like he is too cool for school. ]

Finally someone talked some sense into him.

[killmypatience]

[She smirks a bit.]

Happy I could help.

[sorceresslite]

You could be the cat whisperer.

[killmypatience]

Maybe that's my secret superpower. Wooing difficult felines.
