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.

[asap]

Yeah, but you wouldn't be a Dragon Claw. You'd be like, a Dragon Rib! No one knows what their ribs are doing unless they're in a lot of pain.

[nothingsodivine]

Does anyone ever find it weird that Wynn names his sects after dragon anatomy.

[asap]

Is that what's holding you back? Afraid you'll get recruited into Dragon's Butt? [She snickers.]

[nothingsodivine]

Yeah, there's a life's ambition for you- being the only member of the Dragon's Asscrack.

[asap]

What would they even do? Fart brigade?

[nothingsodivine]

Eh, I'm sure it's where Wynn would keep all his surly jackasses. It's a like a combination of the Hide and the Tongue. Punch people and be a complete jerk about it. Off-putting name, great results.

[asap]

Geeze, if Tongue's supposed to be assholes, I've been doing it all wrong.

[nothingsodivine]

It's where you keep all your liars and smooth-talkers, ain't it?

[Three guesses where Des would be if he was a Knight. The first two don't count.]

[asap]

Or the... genuinely nice people who like helping? I'm not a liar.

[nothingsodivine]

They're diplomats, Red. You don't get to be that good at people unless you're willing to work 'em.

[asap]

That's why I almost didn't join. But it's not all politics and stuff.

[nothingsodivine]

It's talking. And I've met Dumage and Finnick. [He smirks] Or are you gonna tell me that when you go undercover, you're just gonna never lie?

[asap]

I'm not really undercover girl. I usually give myself away by being too fast.

[nothingsodivine]

What?

[WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING, ANDIE.]

[asap]

[She rolls her eyes and runs around him in a slow circle. Slow for her. For him, it looks like CGI speed effects. Then she vanishes altogether unless he's VERY GOOD AT LOOKING and reappears with food.]

That? Was normal speed for me.

[nothingsodivine]

[well damn.]

Didja fall in a vat of toxic waste when you were a kid?

[asap]

[She snickers.]

Nothing like that. I'm an aasimar. This is, y'know, divine speed.

[nothingsodivine]

Oh.

[Des looks surprised and then promptly decides those meatballs look way more appealing than this conversation. He's got a good poker face though, despite the... stress eating.]

[asap]

[RUDE. Though they do look delicious. Don't mind a hand darting out super fast and snagging one.]

You seem pretty not impressed.

[nothingsodivine]

It's not that I'm not impressed. [He skewers a meatball as soon as she's done being a ninja.] I've just met a lot of aasimars.

[asap]

Buuuut none as fast as me, right? Unless you've met my dad. Or my grandmother. Or great-grandmother.

[nothingsodivine]

Nope. None as fast as you. [You can rest easy, Andie.] That's a new one.
