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.

i looked up the map and this was less of a journey than anticipated lemme tell u

[trebond]

Not too terribly far to reach, honestly.

[ alanna hangs a left and stops suddenly when she reaches an elaborate painting on their right. ] It's here. [ she gestures up at the painting - not quite a door, but a passage all the same. ] I'm certain the idea was to keep it centrally located. The ballroom happens to be, as well.

[witchwoman]

Oh yes. [She looks a little sheepish, as her eyes trace over the big painting.] It's all familiar now.

Except that, er...

How do we...?

[trebond]

Oh, you really are out of practice, aren't you?

[ she looks amused rather than mocking, at least, and pulls out her id card from god knows where she was keeping it and uses it to get them access. ]

This world has its own sort of magic. [ like microwaves and card-keys. ] These keys act as identification among knights, but also grant certain privileges. They're issued upon arrival - you have yours, I trust? [ she turns to myri as the painting opens to reveal the room. this is some harry potter shit. ]

[witchwoman]

Not on me, but among my things, yes. Like the 'keys' we used in hotels. [She glances through as the painting moves aside, peering down the long hallway.]

[trebond]

Precisely. I'd recommend you keep it close to your phone - Wynn finds reasonable hours to hold briefings, but they're all you'll need if he decides to summon you for one.

[witchwoman]

Do you know why he keeps this room secret?

[trebond]

Not in the slightest. The whole castle's location is meant to be a secret as I understand it; what need would he have of a panic room?

[witchwoman]

Perhaps he's hiding something back here.

[trebond]

If he is, it's not ours to know. [ wynn isn't duke roger; alanna trusts him. ]

[witchwoman]

No, I suppose not. [It's hard to argue when Wynn's given them all so much.] I just can't help but be curious.

[trebond]

Well, curiosity on its own might be harmless enough. [ she tilts her head, considering. what comes after might not be, but alanna's never been one to dissuade it all the same. pushing saved jon's life, it revealed duke roger's deceptions and schemes. but she trusts wynn, and any curiosity into him like this seems ... well, it seems to betray that trust in a way. ]

[witchwoman]

[Look, Alanna, you didn't learn about some super secret prophecy he was keeping from you that affected your entire mission.] That's all it is, I assure you.

Thank you, for your help.

[trebond]

Come find me in the Dragon's Light ward if you find yourself needing anything else.

[witchwoman]

You can be certain of it.
