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.

Dragon Claws make a vow of chastity when they take the job. [So he ain't even mad lmao. Moving on~]

[msattentionspan]

And what does that have to do with anything? [Seriously... she's not really planning on a guy saving her ass, but she's just saying - he seems a pretty decent guy and she wouldn't be ticked off if he pulled a Wes and actually helped.]

Alright, so what else is there to see?

[ex_ric243]

Fluffing my own ego. [Not even gonna lie ok. But they make it to the end of the grand hallway and so there are two options, depending on what she wants to see.]

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.

[msattentionspan]

[Faith gives Alaric a sly look, because - alright, maybe he just got a few points there for his honesty.]

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.]

[ex_ric243]

Gadgets, weapons, tech, you name it. The labs are where the development happens. [It's basically the most interesting place in the castle but he might be a little biased.]

[msattentionspan]

Can we go check it out? [Faith likes sharp things...]

Otherwise, I'm all for making sure I know where the bar is.

[ex_ric243]

There's more than one in the castle. [She'll probably become familiar with all of them after too long. Especially considering it's an hour drive into the city proper (I think) and people liked to unwind with drinks after a mission. I think that's the whole reason Wynn keeps them around tbh.

But in addition to pointing out the bar that they pass, he makes sure to point out the two community areas--one of which has a television so that she can catch up on all of her favorite trashy tv shows. And while she expressed disinterest in the library, they are passing it so he points that out too so she ... knows where it is.

When they finally make it to the labs, she'll see all sorts of useful tech stuff. Think like the things Marshall comes up with on Alias idk. There are a lot of smarties here with a lot of different expertise. One work station in particular appears to be dedicated to anti-vampire weaponry. That would be Ric's. :')]

[msattentionspan]

[Faith follows and takes note of all of the places that Alaric shows her. Once they get into the lab, though, she opts to take a slow tour at first, just glancing at the usual things that she figures are pretty standard. She slows when she reaches the aforementioned area that Alaric is in charge of.

Her hand hoers over a few items, but she just goes for what's familiar and takes hold of a stake.]

I recognize this, but the rest of this stuff -- it looks like I should know it.

[ex_ric243]

You recognize a wooden stake? [That was sort of interesting... unless she liked to pitch tents or something. Then maybe not so much.]

[msattentionspan]

[Faith raises a brow.]

Didn't they give you any information on me before they shuffled me off onto you?

[ex_ric243]

Not really, no. That's what this is supposed to be about, I think.

[msattentionspan]

[Faith shrugs and puts the stake down.]

Back home I'm a Slayer. The whole chosen to hunt demons gig. Vampires are pretty much the main targets.

[ex_ric243]

I think I'm starting to see why they thought we'd be a good fit, in that case.

[He moves over to where she's at, since it's near all of his weapons.]

I may not have been chosen, but I dealt with my share of vampires before I arrived.

[msattentionspan]

[Faith turns to face him a bit more fully, an eyebrow lifting in curiosity.]

Yeah? What kind of vampires? [Now, to be fair, Faith doesn't know about the Turok Kahn (or however they're spelled, because even Faith wouldn't google that shit for the spelling), but she's just curious if this guy is serious or bullshitting her.]
