after-party ♔ june
♬ Jeux d'eau - Ravel
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!)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.
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.

There are a lot of people in this room who can kick my ass. [Failing to see your point, gurl.]
I'm talking about mission evaluation--making sure you've got some direction here.
no subject
What sort of direction are you thinking I need? [She's a blunt force instrument, those don't usually need needlepoint accuracy.]
no subject
That's really up to you. Have you given any thought to what you hope to accomplish here?
no subject
Not dying. That's a good one. [She's going to shove some food in her mouth now. Clearly not planning on talking again until she finishes this bite.]
no subject
If this is a bad time for you, we can always talk later.
no subject
[She even nods, you know to signify that she'll be done chewing in a bit.]
[She swallows and shrugs.]
This isn't a bad time. I just didn't realize that your little introduction was going to turn into my first evaluation.
no subject
You aren't being evaluated on this. [Not officially. But he sure as fuck is always judging you. And everyone.]
no subject
no subject
[She exhales. The frustration a bit clearer in the moment.]
You aren't the first mentor that tries to see some grand future ahead of me, or whatever it is that you think you can teach me to do. There's no room for improvement here. You get what you see. I'm not gonna bend over backwards to be something that someone else thinks I'm supposed to be. I've done that. It doesn't work out for me.
I came here because I know I can do this and it's better than figuring out all of this on my own. [For as hard as it is for her to admit, she sucks at the whole solo thing.]
no subject
All I'm asking is whether or not you've given any thought to where you might want to end up, or what you're looking to get out of joining up. "No" is a perfectly acceptable answer. You've been here all of what, a day? [Just saying.]
If you did have an end goal in mind, or once you do, then I can try to help point you in the right direction and get you there. Maybe "mentor" wasn't the right word for me to use. I'm here to be a resource for you.
Look, whatever your reason for joining, Wynn saw something in you that sets you apart. My role is to make settling in easier, and to try and make sure everything works so that you're getting just as much out of this as you're bringing to the table.
no subject
Her arms fold across her chest, that standard defensive posture walling herself up a bit as he continues to talk. When it seems like he's done, she nods.]
Got it.
[See, she can play along.]
no subject
The combination of her defensive posture and suddenly being on board kind of speak for themselves (sense motive: 13).
Deep inhale. Okay, this could have gone better. He deserves points for trying though.]
Is there anything you want know? I can show you around.
no subject
Look, I'm new. So if there's something I should know, then start there. [because logic.]
no subject
You probably already know where your room is, but I can show you around the rest of the castle so you don't get lost. I don't want to pull you away from the celebration though.
[Unless parties ain't your thang, but this night was supposed to be all about the newbies.]
no subject
You must either not have much luck giving tours or you think this place is gonna kill a party after an hour or so.
no subject
[#keepingitreal]
no subject
[Faith gestures for him to lead the way.]
no subject
The round table room is through there. That's where you'll get your mission briefings with the other members of your team. [Which is actually good to know, because she'll be asked to show up on time so knowing where the hell you were supposed to show up to was always a good thing.
He continues to narrate while they make their way down the great hall.]
We've got a kitchen and dining hall right through there, and on the other side of the hall are the Dragon's Claw offices. [And personal quarters but, as with Wynn's private chambers, it's sort of a moot point because who ever even goes into those rooms. Love lockdown, baby.]
no subject
That Chessing guy has an office down there? [Not that she really needs to know that, because who would ever go talk to him about anything? Definitely not Faith. Nope.]
no subject
no subject
Cool. He seemed alright. I mean, not that I really get their whole deal, but if I had to get my ass saved by a guy, I think he'd do okay. [Aaaaand no credit to Alaric here.]
no subject
no subject
Alright, so what else is there to see?
no subject
Dragon's Fire offices are down the hall to the right. That's the sect that mainly deals with magic. Supplies for spells are stored nearby. To the left, there's the library and my sect, the Dragon's Hoard. There's also a couple communal areas, and one of the bars down that way.
no subject
Skip all that magic and library shit. What are they hoarding in the hoard? [Oh, and she heard the word bar - she'll hit on that in a moment.]
