[sirsolace]

WHO || Wynn, Astrid, Solace, Fred Jr., Risa Vergara, Anastacia, Alanna, Penelope, Adam, Aedan, Attica, Andrew, Faith, Faye, Fiona, Gus, Lila, various other members of the Dragon's Light [closed]
WHAT || Astrid's full Knighting ceremony; induction into the Dragon's Light
WHERE || Knight's Headquarters, the Great Hall
WHEN || April 30th, evening (forward dated)
HOW || Actionspam

Unlike the grandiose nature of the squiring ceremony each Knight undergoes upon their initial entrance into the Knighthood, the graduation to Full Knight status takes place in a much more intimate affair, between the Knight, their mentor, invited friends, and the members of the sect to which they will be inducted. There's no pompous music, no stolid rank and file, no elaborate march.

Astrid's invitees are given seats of honor at the front of the ranks of the Dragon's Light members - a comparatively small sect, and Fred Jr., Wynn, and the incredibly stoic Sir Solace, section head of the Light, wait up at the front of the room for Astrid to approach them, but the attitude of the ceremony is much more relaxed, full of smiles and light conversation on all sides. Of course, when Wynn speaks, people still hush. It's just how he rolls.

"Approach and kneel, Sir Madchen."

[ soul sister tbh. ] Speaking of... you and Adam?

[pathology]

What about me and Adam?

[bittersweeter]

When is there going to be a you and Adam.

[pathology]

I don't know! We talked about doing stuff after this ...

[bittersweeter]

Celebratory making out?

[pathology]

Probably. Plus celebratory drinking. He was all like, "I still don't know London yet, you should show me around", and I was like "okay but I only know like bars and clothing stores" and he seemed okay with it, so whatever.

[bittersweeter]

You should have said bars and hotels. [ just saying. ]

[pathology]

Why?

[bittersweeter]

'cause then you can show him a hotel... duh.

[pathology]

I get what you're saying, but that's kind of dumb when we live in the same place, isn't it?

[bittersweeter]

Yeah but then you don't have to worry about cleaning up your shit. [ you've seen her room, astrid, this is a valid concern. one day she might have to clean it for sylar to spend the night.

... nah, fuck it, hotel all the way. ]

[pathology]

I guess ... you know the castle has housekeeping, right?

[bittersweeter]

Duh, who do you think does my laundry? I just don't want them in my room. [ ITS HER SANCTUARY OMG. only faye and astrid have ever even been in it. in over a year. and only alex got an invitation. ]

[pathology]

Oh my god that reminds me, do you want to know something really fucking creepy?

[bittersweeter]

Of course. [ how the fuck is that a question. GIVE HER THE DEETS NOW. ]

[pathology]

There are like secret passageways all over the castle. Which I guess isn't that much of a secret because, hello, huge fucking castle, but they go all through the rooms and stuff. Like, when Attica and I first got here, Andie busted in through one all like the Kool-Aid man into Attica's room and it was like excuse you???

[bittersweeter]

Wow. If anyone came through a secret passage into my room, I would probably shoot them.

[pathology]

I know, right? I was surprised Attica didn't. It would've been funnier. But yeah, you should check your room for secret doors in the walls and stuff and then duct tape that shit.

[bittersweeter]

My room is way too small for a secret door. [ a beat. ] Maybe if I find one, I'll booby trap it.

[pathology]

You definitely should! That would be hilarious.

[bittersweeter]

Hmm, I will. [ she nods a little, it's gonna happen. but she's struggling for a new topic of discussion so she just leaves it at that. super helpful. ]

[pathology]

[it's ok gurl.] Hmm ... maybe I'll go find Adam now. To get our celebratory makeouts on.

[bittersweeter]

Go get it. [ she makes a little shooing motion. she'll just be here... hanging with your boring ass sect. ew. actually lbr she's probably just going to bounce in five minutes. ] Enjoy your presents.

[pathology]

[astrid and emma's knightings are the same day so i guess she has to go get her swan dress on lbr.] I will! To both. [she gives her another hug before flouncing away.]
