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.

[ or they're dead in a ditch somewhere with no way to let anyone know. hook is not a teenage girl in the real world, his brain does not immediately jump to the worst things that can befall women in danger. even without that, lila was a cat for three years and couldn't tell anyone she needed help. she looks at hook like don't patronize me. ] There has been one mission in recent memory that's gone on longer than this and if you hadn't noticed? People keep dying on that one.

One death. [Which is more than an acceptable amount, but as far as knights go, only Luthir has died. Failing to protect a civilian is sad, but it's not the same thing.]

There's nothing we can do, love. And Emma'd said it might be a long time. But Emma and Faye are survivors. They'll make it through. [He tries to look encouraging, but doesn't entirely succeed. His pep talk would work a lot better if he weren't a lot more worried than he's trying to let on.] With all good fortune, they'll return with a cure for Amara before long and we'll feel silly for worrying so much.

[ she crit failed her will save so he could have been talking complete nonsense and she still would have wanted to believe him, expression turning, for once, desperate for reassurance. she doesn't say anything, jerkily nodding before she licks her lips and reaches for her drink. ]
