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.

[ she is still wary, but that's her default state, and she shrugs a little in answer. ] I'm not really a party girl.

[bluffcheck]

Well, a party can be whatever you make it. Doesn't have to be this. Doesn't have to be anything. So long as you're happy.

[theminotaur]

Fred said I wouldn't have to come to another after this.

[bluffcheck]

That's the truth of it. It's polite to come to them if you're mentoring one of the new ones, but that'll be a while off yet.

[theminotaur]

[ um yes please a while off, like maybe never. never is when abigail would like to mentor people. heck, she would be happy staying a squire forever and never have anyone really depending on her. ] Are you mentoring anyone?

[bluffcheck]

A few quiet ones that don't seem to need me much. [aka deactivated characters] Always happy to take on another, though.

[brokenteacup]

So you collects strays too. Just like Wynn.

[bluffcheck]

Oh, perhaps. Truthfully, I just do the job that's asked of me.

[theminotaur]

What if it's something you don't believe in?

[bluffcheck]

I trust Wynn's judgement by now. But there was a time when all it took was a fair price.

[theminotaur]

Like a mercenary?

[bluffcheck]

I prefer the term 'pirate,' actually. I captain a ship, after all.

[hisgoldenticket]

...like Captain Hook? [ yep. sorry. in the real world there are only two recognizable pirate captains, hook and jack. ]

[bluffcheck]

Aye. Well- not me. My last squire, though. Goes by Killian. [No, he's serious.]

[theminotaur]

[ wait a second. ] Captain Hook is real?

[bluffcheck]

Well, he's a captain and he's got a hook for a hand. Seems to fit the bill, I'd say.

[theminotaur]

Does he know they make prosthetics? [ like why the fuck would you have a hook for a hand, that's so useless. ]

[bluffcheck]

I think it suits him. But I think he may have other attachments for the stump. [s-so PC, Thoster.]

[theminotaur]

[ her nose wrinkles. that's gross. and now she's imagining him like a swiss army knife. or buster bluth. oops. ] Still seems... [ useless. ]

[bluffcheck]

It's a bit odd, yeah. But it certainly makes him memorable.

[theminotaur]

A little bit like a cartoon.

[bluffcheck]

[Under 10 on a pop culture check? Not doing him any favors.]

A what?

[theminotaur]

Cartoon? [ HOW DO YOU EVEN EXPLAIN THAT. ] A little animated character? Made for kids?

[bluffcheck]

Never heard of it. Sounds strange, though.

[theminotaur]

[ don't worry, boo, she's got you covered. pulling out her phone, she swipes past a couple of text messages and pulls up her internet, googling quickly like a professional teenager. (computer use 16) a few seconds later, up pops a series of pictures and she picks an appropriate gif. ] That's the Captain Hook cartoon.

[ you're so very welcome, hook. ]
