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.

[Hayley shakes her head.] It's fine, Vi. You've had a lot happen in a short period of time. I don't blame you for taking a step back.

[graveflowers]

[ she shifts awkwardly on her feet. she's got a guilt complex like you wouldn't believe and while hayley's assurances assuage some... it's not... a lot. but she nods. ] Okay. I just don't want you to think its like... I didn't want you.

[consequence]

It's not like there was a rose ceremony and you gave it to another girl, Vi. We're cool.

[graveflowers]

[ lmao she's a flower princess, there may have been a rose involved, WE JUST DON'T KNOW.

no, just the crumbled ashes of her dead husband.

wah.

her nose wrinkles like she's struggling to accept what is effectively hayley's forgiveness and she is very, very bad at it. ]

Okay.

[ R U SURE THO?!!? ]

[consequence]

[She is SURE.]

How've you been doing?

[graveflowers]

[ she shrugs. ]

I'm okay. Lonely, you know, but it's fine. [ :( ]

[consequence]

[Hayley gets that. Especially since most of her day is spent around someone who can't talk.]

Well, if you ever just want some company. I am always good for grown-up talk.

[graveflowers]

[ with a little smile, vi nods, looking beyond grateful that her now former squire is basically the most awesome. ]

Thanks. I'll let you and Olivia get back to mingling though. Nice to see you.

[consequence]

It's nice to see you too, Vi.

[And off they go to mingle.]
