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 || October 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.

indra crestrage ♔ (ota).

[bloodrager]

[ indra looks fucking slamming with her 19 disguise check, and is only too happy to learn more about her new fellow Knights... and probably talk weaponry. ]

[grimrot]

[Grimrot goes up to find her, a huge smile on her face.]

Congratulations!

[bloodrager]

[ yay a grimrot! indra smiles back, pleased to see her. ] Thank you. This is quite a soiree.

[grimrot]

You get used to it. They do love throwing parties here. And you look fantastic!

[bloodrager]

As do you. [ does she? well, indra can be polite otherwise. ] Are there no things to fight at this time?

[grimrot]

Not at this moment, no. Though Sarandis is still out there.

[bloodrager]

Not for long. I can't imagine your Knights will stop looking.

[beatupgrass]

[rocket steps up beside indra, staring over at nyna across the room like she is the craziest bitch he has ever seen.]

Is she really just gonna walk around in that thing the whole time? [Yeah, he's gonna bitch about someone's fashion sense while swigging champagne. It's suddenly become that kind of moment.

...No, but really what is wrong with her.]

[bloodrager]

She's a warrior. I don't see why she could not choose to proclaim it.

[beatupgrass]

So's Drax and he don't even wear a shirt.

[bloodrager]

That might have a different effect on her.

[beatupgrass]

[good thing rocket understands modesty, otherwise he'd just be slow blinking at her.

but yes. valid point.] Yeah, well, great for her, but walkin' around in a tin can for twenty minutes wasn't my idea of a great time.

[bloodrager]

You get used to it.

[byrned]

[ matt has had a few drinks by now. sue him, it's a party. he spots her and that is a dress she's wearing right there. ]

Whit woo, look at you.

[bloodrager]

Matt, isn't it?

[byrned]

That's the one. Indra, yeah? Nice name. [ and idk what you roll for flirting but it is probably charisma based? so he got a 16. not terrible. ]

[bloodrager]

[ if you have the 'charm' talent from the charismatic hero class, it's a d20+your diplomacy skill+ your levels in charismatic hero... for everyone else it's just a charisma check \o\

either way, it's enough to earn an appraising look from her. ] It seems uncommon in these lands.

[byrned]

Yeah, that the sort of girl you are, uncommon?

[ he's giving her an appraising look, but appreciative rather than being lecherous ]

Get tangled in the whole war thing too, did you?

[bloodrager]

I arrived in this world on the Isle, and found them incredibly unfriendly to non-humans. They would not even let me book passage to another land.

Those around me suffered daily. When my friend Grimrot arrived, I was ready to fight.

[unforgivably]

I don't remember you here before. [ here's damon, confidently sidling up to someone completely new to him. she's looking, to borrow a phrase, slamming ]

[bloodrager]

That would be because I only just arrived. I returned with the Knights who liberated Andres Isle.

[unforgivably]

Would that make you one of the liberated? Andres Isle, born and raised?

[bloodrager]

I came through what you call the Veil on Andres. Non-humans were not well received there, but there was no opportunity to leave.

[unforgivably]

Something we have in common. Squired yet?

[bloodrager]

Did you not attend the ceremony?
