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.

Do you ever see one ... [thinks of things rocket likes] gun, but it's too expensive or something, so you find another gun that's equally awesome and you're happy with that for awhile, but then you keep seeing other guns that you want too and then another bitch takes the first gun and you're like really pressed about it? It's like ... that.

[beatupgrass]

[he's definitely following her.] Question. Why didn't you just take the first gun in the first place?

[what is "too expensive."]

[pathology]

I was working on it! I had — uh, a payment plan!

[beatupgrass]

What payment plan? [eyeroll] If you want somethin' bad enough, you take it. If you don't take it, you didn't want it bad enough and you're just mopin' for no reason. If you want somethin' more than somebody else, then it's yours. That's how it works.

[Rocket... that is not how ownership works.]

[pathology]

What about the other gun? [the glaring hole in this metaphor.....]

[beatupgrass]

Why limit yourself. You can never have enough guns.

[Or blouses at the mall. Or whatever girly shit this metaphor is really about. He rolled an abysmal wisdom check.]

[pathology]

Yeah, if you're like, Mormon. [forgot the whole metaphor thing oops.]

[beatupgrass]

[is that what terrans call people who have a lot of guns???]

Okay, fine. Let's look at this way. You can only use one gun at a time, anyway... Unless they're smaller, but let's not complicate the metaphor here. Which gun is gonna suit your particular situation best. 'Cause I mean the big cannon might be satisfyin' if you use it against the punkass who shortchanged you on a deal, but it's probably overkill. And you wouldn't bring your blaster to face down a whole gang o' crooks. You get me?

[pathology]

Yeah, yeah. I have to think about the gun that's best for my ... holster. [wtf that was weird. whatever. she lurches over to pull rocket into a GREAT BIG HUG (but her str was only 11 if he wants to ... squirm away.)] See? We're bonding already!

[beatupgrass]

[actually he rolled a 9, so he's just wriggling in her arms like DAMMIT WOMAN, but I guess he's concerned that if he wriggles away, he'll just end up on the floor, so he's barely trying.] Yeah! We're bondin'. You don't have t' get so grabby about it, lady.

[pathology]

Shut up and let me hug you, okay? I'm going to get you a suit. A really good one. Armani.

[beatupgrass]

[SIIIIGH. fine. he's still gonna roll his eyes.]

I'm your freakin' squire, not your doll. [Just so you know.]

[pathology]

[whatever.] Do you want to steal things with me?

[beatupgrass]

[.... you're such a great mentor.]

...I really, really do.

[pathology]

[she really is.] Like, now?

[beatupgrass]

Unless you wanna go back to that stupid party.

[pathology]

Nah ... I'm kind of over it. [good thing she didn't drink that tequila ok.] Meet me at the parking garage in 10? [she has to change, ok. into thief clothes.]

[beatupgrass]

Don't be late. [He hops to the floor. TIME TO PUT ALL THOSE FANCY CLOTHES KALI GOT HIM TO GOOD USE.]

[pathology]

I would never.

[WHEEEE TIME TO HAVE AN AWESOME TIME STEALING THINGS AND NOT MOPING INTO A TEQUILA GLASS BEST MENTOR-SQUIRE BONDING TIME ALREADY]
