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 || June 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.

I grew up with things like this: royal ceremonies, formal occasions. [ 'High school' means nothing to her, but she can understand graduation, and simply nods. ]

There's much to learn, but I'm looking forward to it.

[useagoodkiss]

A Knight altogether. Have you done this for most of your life?

[easily]

I suppose that could be possible. And that's prone to happening randomly?

[flyingsolo]

Probably depends on how much you have to find out about. Some people come here without a past at all.

[socialgraces]

[ she chuckles softly ] Trust me, he's not really the type.

Besides, now you have me to look out for you, as well.

[shootfirst]

The whole thing's pretty random. People dumped all over the globe? It's a wonder more people don't just get plopped in the drink.

[socialgraces]

If they trust and respect you, and - more importantly - love you, I don't think you'll have anything to worry about. Our experiences shape who we are, and there's nothing we can do to change that. Whatever you take from this tragedy, whatever way it may change you, is now a part of who you are, and those who wish to keep you in their lives will learn to accept that, even if it takes some time.

[socialgraces]

[ francesca's ears are ringing ... or maybe she just has that distinct feeling that someone is watching her. either way, she happens to turn just in time to catch val'drin's gaze, an affectionate grin lighting up her face.

give her a few moments to wrap up her conversation here, and then she'll make her way over. ]

[killingtodeath]

Sorry, guy. I'm not playing Robin to your Batman. But thanks for the offer. You seem... brutish. [Which he says like a weird compliment.] I'm just not sure we're on the same wavelength here.

[killingtodeath]

[WELL THIS THREAD IS REALLY SAD NOW. FOR REASONS.

Stiles has had his day officially made. Gold star for you, Vi.]

Of course you do. I hope he realizes how lucky he is.

[graveflowers]

Yeah. [ her eyes seek him out, wherever he may be, and a gentle smile softens her features before she looks back at stiles. she's so in love it's gross. ] He does. I remind him every day.

[beatemup]

Brawny's the word you're looking pal, tough works too. [He corrects him.] Don't worry about it, pal. I won't steal your spotlight. If you want to be your own Batman, I'll leave you alone. But if Batman needs a guy to break a door or two, just call Max, and he'll break a door or two. Alright, batman? [Yeah, they're partners in... justice? whether Stiles like it or not.]

[daredtobelieve]

[Helen follows his nod, seeing the response from Francesca across the way.]

None taken. I'd say it would be incredibly telling if you didn't think of her as such.

[Also she ships it. Bawww you two. So cute.]

[druidisms]

Did she tell you she's engaged too? [ like don't get your hopes up child. ]

[druidisms]

Other than being despondent at my propensity to cock -- [ he's teasing. ] -- are you enjoying your squiring?

[killingtodeath]

Wow, such confidence. [He just shrugs. He's used to people underestimating him.] So... what does that make you then?

[druidisms]

I don't doubt that.

[druidisms]

Smart girl. [ it's up to her if she wants to take it for trying to learn about it or not trying to use it. he doesn't really care. ]

[druidisms]

Maybe I'm shallow, but I don't exactly mind the chance to see everyone in their finery.

[killingtodeath]

I'm not sure if I'm relieved or disappointed.

[druidisms]

[ he will sure shake your hand, doctor. and maybe tug you a bit closer because, hey, you are kind of cute. ] It's only once a month. Only time my Armani gets out of the closet. [ he smiles engagingly. (cha 19) hey girl hey. ] Wouldn't miss the chance to see you all dressed up, either.

[theminotaur]

[ she can't help the little smile. he's ridiculous. ] Considering what I know about boys in medieval times? I think you should be relieved.

[killingtodeath]

I think she used the term 'boyfriend.' But she also said if I was older, she would climb me like a tree so I'm not really sure if someone gave her a special brownie or what.

[theminotaur]

Did you? [ so curious, she is. ]

[theminotaur]

...are you royal? [ royal ceremonies, you know, it lead her in that direction. ]
