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.

[He sighs a bit, somewhat kind of annoyed.] I know it's not mine to make and I don't know the whole situation, but we need to do something. Who knows what they are doing to Master Bancroft while we are here... Just waiting for the best moment. And I'm sure you have received the report of my market research. If we don't act soon, I'm afraid it'll be too late to stop them.

Sir River, it was precisely rash action in the first place that led us to where we stand now. While I certainly value and share your concerns, I would ask you to accept my judgment in this, and know that things are in motion even as we speak.

[fixyourproblem]

Then at least let me help. I know I probably won't be able to do much, but not doing anything makes me feel... uneasy. [That's an understatement. He always helps someone in need, and not doing so makes him feels anxious, especially when that someone is a friend.]

[wynn]

In time, Sir River, I believe I will require a great number of you. I will count you among that number, when that day comes.

[fixyourproblem]

[He has waited for quite a while and now he has to wait again? He definitely doesn't like the decision, but arguing about it won't help, so he just sighs and acknowledges the option.] I'll be waiting for that day then. Meanwhile, I'll keep my eyes on the street in case anything significant shows up.

Your intelligence on the Slovechnian slaves helped us to discover another shipment that wound up in the Caribbean. I'd be grateful for anything else you might uncover.

[fixyourproblem]

I'll do that. [He nods calmly, relieved that at least the information he collected was useful.] Master Wynn, on a related note, do you think there's another mole in the castle? Another shapeshifter might be unlikely but Sarandis may have other agents working here. And with the sudden surge of recruits lately, I think that it is more likely to be true.

[wynn]

I think that indulging that attitude without cause for suspicion is a dangerous path to tread. We can't afford to suspect one another without cause now, when they're working so hard to tear us apart from the inside out. Strength and faith in each other is what will carry us through this.

That's not to say I'm not taking precautions of my own to make certain that what you're suggesting is not true.

[fixyourproblem]

I understand. I really hope we'll get through this as soon as possible, and with minimum damage, of course. [A war between two big factions is never without damage, so he just hopes that at least things return to the way they used to be.] Thank you for your time, Master Wynn. I'm sure you have more urgent matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. Good evening. [He bows a bit and leaves.]
