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.

Kindness of strangers. [ she pats his arm, shaking her head. ] You're adorable.

Not that I mind the compliment, lass, but I get the feeling you don't mean it quite as such.

Strangers aren't exactly kind in the real world, Thoster. Least not in Boston.

[ not entirely true, there are some genuinely kind people in boston, as there are everywhere, but alice can be cynical. ]

Are you saying I haven't lived in the year world? [He places a hand to his chest, as if he's been wounded by the words.] I'd argue that the luxuries I've found since coming through the Veil make this place more of a fantasy than any other.

Running water is a basic human right, thank you. Why do you think we're trying so hard to get it to impoverished countries? Everyone should have plumbing.

[ she assumes lotr land does not have plumbing, tbh. ]

You know, I still don't understand why people call it that. Running water. The streams and rivers ran just fine. And it flowed just the same, pumped from the wells!

Yeah but here you just turn the tap so its way less effort. And its clean, which is the key really since so many diseases spread through dirty water.

I will give you that- Been sick far less since I joined up. Having a pack of clerics on hand doesn't hurt either.

Yeah, it's weird that they don't exist in in other people's worlds.

Oh, they exist in mine. But they require payment- more than a man like me might have at any given time.

Well, I mean some of them here are like that. You pay regular docs, why wouldn't you pay clerics? But I haven't known many to withhold services. That's fucked up. [ ur world is trash. ]
