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.

Well, that does explain why the man who once told me he had no interest in drinking is coddling the bar so closely.

Things change.

[postergirl]

Fortunately. Otherwise you might have to fear feeling like this forever.

[65]

Yes. [he slides his drink over from one hand to another.] I'm hoping ... maybe being at the castle again will change some things. For the better.

[postergirl]

Less paparazzi, I assure you.

[65]

Well, that's a given.

[postergirl]

I take it the spotlight wasn't your biggest concern.

[65]

Not quite. I was just ... so tired, Dumage. Tired of everything.

[postergirl]

Yes, well this has been a particularly long lived mission, so I imagine dealing with the same people, and the consistent frustration of failure can't have been simple.

[65]

Well, no. [thin-lipped smile.] It's like you never left.

[postergirl]

Didn't you miss me, darling?

[65]

I did, actually. Quite a bit.

[postergirl]

Mutual, which makes you one of very few exceptions.

[65]

I'm glad to hear it.

[postergirl]

Good to know some people around here still have taste.
