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.

[She gives a bit of a shrug. She's gotten into a habit of not asking too many questions if she doesn't need to.]

I've found that pushing people about things they don't really want to talk about never gets anyone anywhere. I trust Lila's judgement about what I do and don't need to know.

[Which ... Lila is much more of a psychopath than Felicity is, but she's happy, clearly, and it's not like Lila needs to justify her choices to her.]

[watchmaker]

Good. That makes you one of the few actually smart people she seems to know.

[allmydreams]

[She nods slowly.]

Well, Lila tends to have plenty of smart all on her own. They tend to attract smart people.

[And dumb people, apparently.]

[watchmaker]

You would think, and yet ...

[allmydreams]

[She gives a bit of a shrug.]

Smart people don't always act smart. Unfortunately for them.

[watchmaker]

Burdened by their own intelligence, I suppose. [shruggg]

[allmydreams]

Clearly. Or too many bad experiences.

[Takes a breath.]

Anyway. I should let you get back to your party. I'm sure there are a lot of people looking to talk to you.

[watchmaker]

I doubt that, but I won't keep you. [he waves.]

[she waves as well, and off she goes to be social elsewhere.]
