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.

[ edain tosses her a leering grin, obviously finding ella more interesting than his current companion ]  Casualties are inevitable in a war, love.  Might as well accept it and go all in.

[sorceresslite]

Or we could keep them to a minimum and have a plan 'fore going in guns blazing. [ she raises her eyebrows like girl, no. ]

[oftheband]

An' all the while we spend makin' this grand plan o' yours, more Shadowkind are dyin' and sufferin' moment to moment. Or maybe you're more mercenary than I thought, Red. Better one o' them than one o' ours?

[sorceresslite]

No, better we know what we're getting into to lessen the casualties on both sides. What if Sarandis decides that he thinks he might lose just from sheer force and sets the island on fire so we cannae have it? What if he blows his own Navy so we cannae touch it? What if he doesn't tell his own people to get out first? It's happened before, Edain, and Sarandis isn't daft, if he thinks the sheer force of our knights is going to overwhelm him, he's not going to leave anything behind for us to liberate. We'll be marching into a graveyard instead of a country. [ so fuck you very much for thinking she cares more about the knights, who volunteered for this, than an country of innocent people being used as pawns by their effective dictator. ]

[oftheband]

Think he's more stubborn than all that, personally. We'll find him cowering in a foxhole below ground.

[sorceresslite]

Either way, we cannae just march in and expect him not to fight back. Bastard probably uses human shields.

[sternshield]

With innocents on the island? Likely he will.

[sorceresslite]

Scummy bastard. [ her nose wrinkles. ]

[oftheband]

All's fair in love and war, lass.

[sorceresslite]

And pizza.

[oftheband]

What does pizza have to do with it?

[sorceresslite]

You bloody fucking heathen. [ but she's smiling so i guess that's an endearment???? because she's teasing. ]

[oftheband]

An' happy for it.
