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 || May 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.

Oh! [ she jots that down to google later. ] Cool. You look better. [ you know, better than immediately prior to being broken out of his goblin jail. ]

[sternshield]

It's the trim, isn't it? [ his beard looks... the same size. wtf. ]

[bittersweeter]

What did you trim? You still look like a homeless vagrant, you just smell a little better.

[sternshield]

My hair! You can't tell the difference? Grows like weeds, it does.

[bittersweeter]

Are you sure it's not actually weeds?

[sternshield]

I'm a gnome, not a ruddy dryad.

[bittersweeter]

[ r u sure? you look like a hobbit to her. actually. ] Are gnomes related to hobbits?

[sternshield]

What in the Nine Hells is a hobbit?

[bittersweeter]

Short, scruffy dudes who love breakfast.

[sternshield]

... Well, I do love a good breakfast.

[bittersweeter]

[ yep, hobbits are now related to gnomes, it's happening, ] It's a very good meal. Maybe you're long lost relatives.

[sternshield]

Suppose I could use more family, seeing as mine's out of reach.

[bittersweeter]

Other side of the veil? [ she's just fucking guessing. (wis 10) she doesn't even fucking know. ]

[sternshield]

Right you are. All the Sternshield boys.

[bittersweeter]

Are there a lot of you? [ how do you sibling? ]

[sternshield]

5 all told. Would you consider that a lot?

[bittersweeter]

I'm an only child aside from a murderous cousin. I'd consider one a lot.

[sternshield]

Cousins are a troublesome lot like that, ay.

[bittersweeter]

Yeah. Luckily he's dead now, the whole murderous thing looked better on me. [ which he knows, considering he watched her shoot bears in the face.... ]

[sternshield]

I'm not going to complain that you were the one to stick around.

[bittersweeter]

[ she beams. damn right she is fucking awesome. ] Thanks.

[sternshield]

Any time. [ and with a wink, he'll slide off to... parts of the ballroom unknown ]
