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 more complicated than that.

[bredinthebone]

Family is always complicated. Family makes things complicated.

[likedillinger]

You don't have to tell me that.

[bredinthebone]

So eventually you're going to have to man up and get over it. Or ... transfer to Siberia.

[likedillinger]

I wouldn't have come here if I didn't wanna be this close to him for a reason.

[bredinthebone]

[She eyes him for a moment, trying to pick up on the threads of how complicated this particular situation is (sense motive 19).]

Good reason or bad reason?

[likedillinger]

[ lmfao the answer is hella. he looks wary of him, but it's also possible to pick up on those threads of freakish co-dependency too so ]

Not sure yet.

[bredinthebone]

[Yeah, she gets that. She has a bit of that with Gus. If she and Gus were actually blood family ...

... well, actually, that may be a little terrifying. Let's not go there with that mental image.]

Do you actually want to find out, or is the unknowing safer?

[likedillinger]

Not knowing means at least nothing's proved me wrong yet.

[bredinthebone]

True. But that usually comes back to bite you on the ass later.

[likedillinger]

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.

[bredinthebone]

If you get too close or if you don't get close enough?

[likedillinger]

Both.

[bredinthebone]

Guess then you have to decide which one would suck more. Losing him before you had the chance to have him back, or having him back only to lose him again.

[likedillinger]

Thanks for that, Dr. Phil.

[She rolls her eyes.]

Speaking from experience? What is is always easier to stomach than what might have been.
