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.

Always, Sir Magnus. [ he smiles back slightly. BUT JUST SLIGHTLY. ITS A ROUGH MONTH. ]

[daredtobelieve]

[THANKFULLY SHE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT DOPPEL SHIT??]

I had the chance to speak to your new squire while he was getting acquainted with the grounds. I was wondering just what his background is in?

[other than lying and being sort of charming.]

[wynn]

That seems like the sort of question you might wish to take to him, doesn't it, Sir Magnus?

[daredtobelieve]

If I thought he might give me an honest answer? Perhaps. [She doesn't seem put off by it. In fact, she's more than a little amused.] As it stands, I had a feeling I may get more information from discussing it with you.

[wynn]

Your feelings might be betraying you then. I'm afraid it's not my story to tell.

[daredtobelieve]

Or perhaps it speaks to just how little truth I believe I would gain from having the conversation with him. [Her eyebrows raise a little.] One would think that if a man had something to hide, he could come up with a better alias than John Smith.

[wynn]

Then it seems, perhaps, he's a man who wants to be honest about his dishonesty.

[daredtobelieve]

But not dangerous enough that his dishonesty might endanger anyone- himself included?

[Which is a round about way to ask if he's a weird sort of shadowkind where normal medical treatment and/or healing could hurt him because of different biological aspects???

She really does have best interests at heart.]

[wynn]

I think he's canny enough to protect himself, and he has no interest in harming anyone else.

[daredtobelieve]

I trust you won't mind if I do a bit of prying on my own?

[wynn]

So long as you're prying out of him.

[daredtobelieve]

Can't blame a girl for trying, can you? Perhaps I was just looking for an excuse to say hello. See how you're doing.

[wynn]

You don't need an excuse for that, Sir Magnus.

[daredtobelieve]

Well, you've been rather... preoccupied lately. I hadn't wanted to be a bother.

[wynn]

That's certainly one word for it.

[daredtobelieve]

If you need anything... I'm sure you know I'd be happy to assist you in any way.

[wynn]

Of course. I never doubted it.

[daredtobelieve]

Good. Good... [There's really no way to say it but to say it.] I worry about you, you know. Which I know is ridiculous, but someone has to, since I doubt you'll be thinking about your own well being through any of this.

[wynn]

I appreciate it, Sir Magnus, but I sure you. I'll be fine.

[daredtobelieve]

You always seem to be. [Which isn't the same as 'you always are,' is it?]

I'll leave you to your new squires. Just- take care of yourself. [And with a brief smile, she will head off.]
