Kodo (Inside the Sun remix) - Yoshida Brothers

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 || February 1st, 2014, 6:00PM [backdated]
HOW || Prose OR Actionspam


The "afterparty" is the real main event of the night at every squiring, but t
onight's party is a little different than usual - Faith has successfully lobbied (as in roped people into helping her decorate for) a Chinese New Year's party, or Lunar New Year, theme.  With Knights from all over the world, it was easy to get input from those who traditionally celebrate the holiday, and Wynn is all about the spirit of cultural unity.  Not to mention, the second of the 15 days of the spring festival is all about spending time with one's family and friends.  

The lavish, opulent ballroom has been transformed, filled with red lanterns, peach blossoms, kumquat plants, and chrysanthemums.    People are encouraged to dress in red to ward off evil spirits and bad luck, and avail themselves of the New Year's Cake, golden champagne cocktail, rice pudding, candied fruits, and the Tray of Togetherness.
As always, 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.

If slaying a red dragon counts, then yes!

Like, three, I think. Crushed it's skull with a giant rock. And took our pick from its horde, of course.

Faith! She's... around here somewhere. [ she looks each way quickly, not easily spotting her in the crowd, and giving up ] She was there, too.

Did it have any artifacts in its horde?

Probably? I honestly couldn't even tell you what we brought home from the cave anymore.

Too much to remember, eh?

Yeah, way too much! [ sure, whatever, that sounds as good an explanation as any ] I mean, it's not called a horde for nothin'.

I suppose that's what keeps adventurers off in quest of them, despite the high casualty rate. Well, that, and the stopping people from winding up frame-broiled.

Yeah, we kinda just stumbled upon it on accident, I think ... Or maybe it was Faith's idea. I can't remember for certain now.

Needless to say, luck was on our side.

That certainly seems like a mathematical improbability otherwise.
