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.

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

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. ]

[nepotism]

Well, that's...uplifting.

[theminotaur]

[ shrug. she is edmund, here to rain on your parade. because it's her parade and she can do that. ]

[nepotism]

And I thought Susan had it rough.

[theminotaur]

She just had institutional misogyny.

[nepotism]

That still seems pretty rough, isn't it?

[theminotaur]

That's sort of just being a girl. In general. [ god forbid you like lipstick. ]

[nepotism]

Fair enough.

Hey Fred? [ she seems immediately more engaged now that she's not judging the patriarchy, but it's mostly because a thought just occurred to her. ] Do the firearm certifications apply to all of them or do I need to do them all separately?

[nepotism]

It's all or nothing, don't worry. Maybe not the way we should go about it, but it hasn't caused a problem yet.

[theminotaur]

[ yeah, she makes a judgy face, but seems happy enough to accept the answer. she doesn't actually know how to use a pistol, but she can learn. ] Okay.

[nepotism]

Don't worry, you've got time to master 'em all and get your firearms merit badges.

[theminotaur]

Gotta make Annie Oakley proud. [ l o l look an inside joke. abigail is a++ about making friends. she will still use him as a human shield. :) ] I should go see Will. [ aka she is cutting out while she's ahead. which she does, walking off to go bother her fake dad. bother bother. ] Bye Fred.

[nepotism]

See you round.
