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 || April 1st, 2014, 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.

So. Who'd you piss off?

[ambitionist]

I don't know what you're talking about. [bluff 28]

[bittersweeter]

Please, you looked like you were going to cry. [ sobbing. sense motive 29. she's like a dog with a bone rn. ] Come on, I'm already on your side. You're not going to find anyone that knows more about the mafia than me. [ she puts her small hand on his arm, so gentle. SHE JUST WANTS TO PROTECT YOU, BB. (diplomacy 27) ]

[ambitionist]

[he looks down at her hand with an (unsure) face, but ... it would be nice to talk with someone. anyone. (will save 21) ] I wasn't in Japan because I had a hankering to move. I was also in a crime family in New York. But I fucked up bad, ended up with a hit on me. Pretty sure it's still on me, so. [he shrugs again, as if to say "and now i'm here."]

[bittersweeter]

[ THEY ARE THE SAME PERSON. which is probably why she looks reasonably put off by the idea of someone trying to kill him. no, not allowed. her hand tightens slightly. she is equally unsurprised. she... would have done the same probably. ] Sorry. Is that why you really joined up? Besides the obvious of money and free room and board, the protection of a metric shit ton of knights probably didn't hurt.

[ambitionist]

It had some allure, I'll admit.

[bittersweeter]

Well, don't worry. [ she reaches up to ruffle his hair and flash him a sweet grin. ] I've got your back now.

[ambitionist]

[he ducks his head, hiding a grin of his own.] You're sweet, you know that?

[bittersweeter]

You'd be surprised at how little I'm told that. Maybe you're just special.

[ambitionist]

Then I'd have to say that I quite enjoy being special.

[bittersweeter]

You're welcome.
