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.

Yet. He's also a human man, love. We're not always what we appear.

[besmitten]

I don't expect him to be perfect.

[unhand]

[He gives a half-hearted shrug. From his experience with David, he’s pretty close to perfect. Besides his inability to resist Amara’s charms, but he sort of doubts she’d see that as a flaw.]

So has anyone ever managed to break free of this so-called curse?

[besmitten]

It would have to be real for them to break it.

[unhand]

Fine. Has anyone from your land ever broken up with a human?

[besmitten]

Sindella. She returned to our land of her own volition.

[unhand]

That's Zee's mother, right?

[besmitten]

Zatanna, yes.

[unhand]

And I don't suppose she ever said anything about it.

[besmitten]

She wasn't allowed to speak of it.

[unhand]

Course not. That might have given us something to work with, and we can't have that.

[besmitten]

How many times do I have to tell you? There's nothing to work on.

[unhand]

Need to work with something to disprove it, don't we? [CALM YOUR TITS.] If she'd been allowed to speak of it, she could have told everyone it wasn't real.

[besmitten]

So what are you suggesting?

[unhand]

[He shakes his head.] Not sure yet. Might be worth talking to Zatanna's father, if he's willing.

[besmitten]

Perhaps. What could we hope to learn from him?

[unhand]

Why she left. If there's a curse, she'd have had to break it somehow. But if they simply... grew apart, then it's not a curse, and everyone can stop trying to convince you otherwise.

[Diplomacy 21. Look at his sexy logic.]

[besmitten]

... Very well. We'll speak to him.
