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.

At least I'm not giving you false hope. [ yeah, abigail, that's one way to spin it. ]

[nepotism]

I like to know what I'm getting into.

[brokenteacup]

Maybe I'll just Annie Oakley any monsters before they get close enough that I'd have to use you as a human shield.

[nepotism]

Now that's the spirit. How's the target practice goin'?

[ex_defenestratings377]

Good. [ she smiles a little, pleased with herself. /pats self on back. she's doing well at being a real girl for short bursts of time. ] Maybe one day I'll try out a handgun.

[nepotism]

I don't know. Think the rifle suits you.

[ex_defenestratings377]

Really? [ oh. well. that's mollifying. ] Kind of hard to conceal though unless I start carrying around a, uh.... violin case with a tommy gun hidden in it.

[nepotism]

Might be kinda cool, really.

[theminotaur]

Okay, Clyde, then why don't you use a tommy gun instead of your big old sword?

[nepotism]

You act like this thing's so easy to conceal walking around.

[theminotaur]

You could put it in a field hockey bag. [ granted, she could put her rifle in a bag like that too, but shhh. ]

[nepotism]

What about in the off season?

[ex_defenestratings377]

Baseball.

[nepotism]

Do I look like a baseball guy to you?

[theminotaur]

[ honestly fred? ] You look like the kind of guy that played three varsity sports and was on honor roll. [ so yes, yes you do. ]

[nepotism]

... Alright, maybe you got me.

[ex_defenestratings377]

[ fred u r 2 cute. ] You kind of epitomize that All American boy look.

[nepotism]

Must be the dragon blood.

[ex_defenestratings377]

[ she huffs out the smallest sigh. ] Are dragons like a really common thing here? Because Stiles' mentor is a half-dragon and you have dragon blood? And I still don't understand how... [ she'll just leave it at how. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE, SHES VERY CURIOUS. but she doesn't want to talk about dragon sex with fred. ]

[nepotism]

Not really common much of anywhere, no. But I guess you could say this place is a draw for the good ones, at least.

[theminotaur]

Well, it is on the label. [ you know. knights of the silver dragon. it makes sense. ] So someone in your family is a dragon? [ more like "someone in your family fucked a dragon?" but abigail likes to be the delicate flower so she's not going to be that vulgar. ]

[nepotism]

Wings, claws, and all. Yep.

[theminotaur]

And you're sure this isn't actually... Narnia. [ are there dragons in narnia? she vaguely remembers a dragon in narnia. ]

[nepotism]

Mr. Tumnus hasn't shown himself yet.

[theminotaur]

He was only in one book before the Last Battle. He probably died two hundred years ago. [ bringing some elementary school realness rn. ]
