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 || March 12th, 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.

Certainly! You should come out with us sometime during the summer. We usually take a week or so off to just spend on the boat.

[bluffcheck]

I'd love nothing more. I've had to get used to staying on dry land for longer periods but my heart longs for open water.

[silvermaid]

You sound just like him. He's a maenad, if you're familiar, so the water's in his veins, you could say.

[bluffcheck]

Maenad? What are the odds! I met one of those here. Pretty little thing named Faith.

[Yeah he... got a 5 on his wisdom check to put that shit together.]

[silvermaid]

I think you must mean our daughter, actually.

[bluffcheck]

What? No! You're far too young to have a daughter her age. Though she does share that same dazzling beauty... Sisters seems more likely.

[silvermaid]

I've more than a hundred years on her, which I think doesn't qualify as 'too young'.

[bluffcheck]

Well you don't look a day over fifty. [That was a joke okay. Basically his way of saying damn gurl.]

[silvermaid]

You're very kind to say so. I'm afraid I have the advantage of getting that from my blood relations.

[bluffcheck]

Oh? How's that? And you wouldn't be able to share some of those advantages would you? Feel like I'm looking older by the minute around this younger crowd.

[silvermaid]

Family ties. My ancestors were goddesses, so I don't have much in the way of advice, unfortunately.

[bluffcheck]

Should have known such blinding beauty would be divine. Which goddess, lass? I feel I might swear my allegiance on the spot.

[silvermaid]

Sehanine of the Seldarine and Lurue, both of whom would welcome such enthusiastic response.

[bluffcheck]

Aye, I imagine they would. [Bardic knowledge checks for both of them of 23 and 19 means he's heard some stories, man. AND PERHAPS KNOWS A SONG? Thoster always knows a song.]

Not one goddess, but two? A family twice blessed.

[silvermaid]

[ WELL YOU KNOW PLENTY ABOUT SEHANINE, so I won't bother with that shit. but lurue is more of an archfey who gathered another power to be considered a goddess, specifically of intelligent and talking beasts. specifically, she is seen as the unicorn goddess, and teaches that life is there to be lived, and one should live it with zest and flair. adventures and quests should be taken on a whim and life should be filled with good times and laughter. thoster can probably relate. ]

Oh, we've been blessed many times over more than that. The gods have given us much, my family included.

[bluffcheck]

[Yeah he is all aboard the unicorn goddess train tbh.]

Never prayed to them much myself. Perhaps I should have.

[silvermaid]

She always welcomes more followers.

[bluffcheck]

Even salty old pirates like me?

[silvermaid]

Especially so. Travelers have always been her breed.

[bluffcheck]

Well, then... Seems I need to brush up on my prayers. Any tips?

[silvermaid]

She does love music. Songs are a wonderful form of tribute.
