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.

[it's not the saaaame if it's not the same mission group. D:]

Part of his creepy and really unsettlin' charm, I guess.

[bredinthebone]

[No, no it's not. But who knows, maybe he'll get lucky and wind up on a mission for six months or longer. =D (If he does, hopefully it won't be somewhere like Siberia.)]

You warm up to him after a while. Then again, I've been a recipient of that charm for more than a decade now.

[Maybe she's just become numb to it.]

He's not as terrifying as he seems.

[beatupgrass]

Neither is Drax, but he'll still crush your larynx with his pinky if you screw with 'em. Only guy I ever been around who made me feel like I had to watch my step.

[and you know... try to be less of a sociopath.]

[bredinthebone]

[She laughs a bit at that.]

He sounds like a real charmer.

[beatupgrass]

I was talkin' about your boss. I say whatever the hell I want to Drax.

[which goes to show you how much wynn intimidates the fuuuck out of him.]

[bredinthebone]

[Oh. Well then. That makes sense because Wynn is a complete badass. As she said - it's probably ten years of getting used to him.]

Did you always say whatever you wanted to Drax, even when you first met the guy?

[beatupgrass]

[flashes back to Knowhere.]

Got into a barfight with 'em doin' just that.

[he was very drunk.]

[bredinthebone]

[She laughs.]

Okay, I definitely would not want to get into a bar fight with Wynn. I don't think he even drinks.

[She's never seen it, anyway. He's always very composed.]

[beatupgrass]

I admire his restraint. You think he'd need a few drinks to wrangle some of these idiots.

[bredinthebone]

[Now there's a mental image. Wynn drunk. Something no one will ever see, but still.]

I think he has mastered the art of zen far better than we ever will.
