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.

I'm not certain it's comparable, no. It's more about... feeling that one has a place where they can feel comfortable to be themselves.

[msattentionspan]

[It sounds backwards to her. Comfortable to be themselves, but they don't remember who they are.]

Huh. [Because she doesn't know really how to figure out her response there.]

I guess I won't know.

[dragonsclaw]

That can have to do with more than just being Shadowkind. After all, some of us were born here.

[msattentionspan]

Yeah, I'd figured that out. I mean, it'd be creepy to just have a place that only people from other places ended up.

Being the first one through would really suck if there wasn't already shit to do here and people to keep you sane.

[dragonsclaw]

Luckily, we've never had that problem. Traffic used to only come from one other world, however, and now we see those from worlds remarkably similar to our own.

[msattentionspan]

[Faith nods.] Kinda hard to blend in when you're not like the locals, huh?

[chessing]

Particularly when one has scales, or no idea what an automobile is.

[msattentionspan]

[Faith laughs, amused at the thought of someone all Back to the Future scared of the cars or something.] Yeah, I can see where that'd be an issue.

[chessing]

That's one reason we exist - to help those who might be disoriented by the transition.

[msattentionspan]

What're the other reasons?

[chessing]

Not all creatures who come to this world mean to do no harm here. There are monsters and madmen from beyond that those of this world aren't naturally equipped to handle.

[msattentionspan]

[Oh. Right. She would've guessed that, but she's not entirely smart with her intelligence of ten.]

So, you call in the big guns - so to speak, and get lucky that there are big guns to call on.

[dragonsclaw]

So to speak, yes. Battling evil where it appears, and protecting those who need our aid - that would be our full charge.

[msattentionspan]

Lucky for you, I really like battling evil.

[chessing]

You'll have plenty of chances here, then. I hope you enjoy your time in our organization, Faith.

[msattentionspan]

[Faith nods, smirking a bit.]

I'll fill out my comment card if I have any complaints or suggestions.

[chessing]

I should hope so. Enjoy your party, Sir Lehane.

[msattentionspan]

[and she totally does!]
