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 || September 6th, 2014, 6:00PM
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.

[ Okay... ]

Is that something that happens a lot?

[bigbad]

More than you'd think.

[wanttobeahero]

So I should...really watch my back.

[bigbad]

Well, it's not usually on purpose. We just let some lousy shots take the guns.

[wanttobeahero]

Well, I'll be careful anyway. Do the missions get pretty dangerous in general?

[bigbad]

Yeah, usually. If they weren't dangerous, normal people could handle 'em.

[wanttobeahero]

I mean, have we...lost a lot of people?

[bigbad]

[Spike flinches almost imperceptibly (will save 17) but keeps his face mostly still. He's been on a tough mission.] Depends what you mean by lost.

[wanttobeahero]

I guess both definitions of the word, really. Lost as in, missing, and lost as in...dead.

[bigbad]

[Spike tilts his head, considering.] Since I came here? One's dead. And one's missing, but we know bloody well where he is. It's just a matter of getting him back out.

[wanttobeahero]

[ That's not as bad as it could be, really. ]

Where's he being held?

[bigbad]

Andres Isle.

[wanttobeahero]

You'll get him back, I'm sure.

[ Still optimistic, in spite of everything. ]
