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."

I've been playing every now and then. [Like when there's nothing to do but ... then he gets frustrated and contemplates breaking the phone. Whoops.]

I took a break to play some flappy bird for a while. I don't much care for that one. [He can't get past 1 ok.]

[pathology]

Ugh, Flappy Bird is the worst! Did you know the guy who made it actually apologized and took it down, so now no one can ever download it again? Like, that's bad.

[ex_noble101]

[No he didn't know that and he looks ... clueless so she should get that much.]

Andrew put it on there for me. [Fucking Andrew.] I nearly threw my phone at the wall afterward.

[pathology]

Andrew is such a tool. I'm gonna punch him next time I see him.

[ex_noble101]

[Aedan ain't gonna stop her. Although Andrew did sort of redeem himself afterward ...]

I think I'll stick to Candy Crush for the time being. [Even tho he's horrible at it except when he randomly gets lucky..] Even if it is outdated. [Which is probably ridiculous coming from him, but Andrew totally judged Aedan's life for still playing Candy Crush in this day and age.]

[pathology]

It's not outdated! It's classic. Who told you it was outdated? Andrew? He's probably just pissed because he's stuck or something.

[ex_noble101]

He seemed offended that anyone was still playing it.

I was more offended by that bird-thing he introduced me to, personally.

[pathology]

Ignore him and play whatever you want. At least Candy Crush has goals and advancement and ... and pretty colors. Flappy Bird is just an annoying waste of time. Like, seriously.

[ex_noble101]

[Aren't they both kind of an annoying waste of time tho.]

How many more levels until I'm finished? [Lmfao...]

[pathology]

[SHHHHH.] It never ends. Literally. The creators are still adding levels like, all the time. I think they're in the 500s now?

[ex_noble101]

[Aedan's just like ... bitch r u srs.]

[pathology]

I'm serious!

[ex_noble101]

I thought we were working toward the end. [His whole world is shaken. WHAT DOES IT MEAN????]

[pathology]

There is no end ... just like real life. Only Candy Crush until you die.

[ex_noble101]

[Just ... staring at his hands phone like it's all been a lie.]

[pathology]

[sympathetic pat on the back????]

[ex_noble101]

[If nothing else it serves to bring him back to reality.]

I think I need a drink. [Pause. Oh, right.] Would you like anything?[Even though he's already sorta trudging away like his cat just died.

Fuck modern technology basically. What a waste of human life.]

[pathology]

Uh, sure! Just champagne is fine. [w/e bro. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD.]

[ex_noble101]

[And he's off to down a few of those himself before he ever comes back with one for the gurl of the hour. Look some life lessons just required liquor to cope with.]

[pathology]

[she is actually almost genuinely concerned bc bro took awhile.] Are you going to be okay?

[ex_noble101]

Me? of course. [Psh!] Nothing a few drinks won't fix. [Cheers, gurl.]

[pathology]

All right then. [she's not questioning it, ok. she tips her glass to him before taking a drink. to herself, bitch.] Cheers!
