CLOSED ♔ knighting ceremonies

[wynn]

WHO || Wynn, Dovan, Koraith, Hasmed, Lis'sa, Solace, graduating squires, various members of the Knighthood, invited guests [closed]
WHAT || Full Knighting ceremonies for various squires
WHERE || Knight's Headquarters, the Great Hall
WHEN || Late September BACKDATED
HOW || Actionspam

Unlike the grandiose nature of the squiring ceremony each Knight undergoes upon their initial entrance into the Knighthood, the graduation to Full Knight status takes place in a much more intimate affair, between the Knight, their mentor, invited friends, and the members of the sect to which they will be inducted. There's no pompous music, no stolid rank and file, no elaborate march.

The Knight's new section head, Wynn, and their mentor Knight wait up at the front of the room for their approach, but the attitude of the ceremony is much more relaxed, full of smiles and light conversation on all sides. Of course, when Wynn speaks, people still hush. It's just how he rolls.

"Please kneel."

Sebastian

[opprobrium]

[ Sebastian [Dis 20] kneeled when told looking up to Wynn a bit nervous by trying to hide it. [bluff 15] He never actually expected to become a real knight.]

Dragon's Hide Afterparty

[ironsides]

[ the dragon's hide is likely to throw parties that move away from the classy end of the spectrum, so come let loose, engage in drinking contests, arm wrestling, or hear tales of conquests past. ]

cora hale | ota

[impetere]

[With a disguise check that's all of 4, Cora ... did not dress up for this event. She does at least wear a pair of jeans that has no holes in it and a nice-ish shirt. Once she gets to the party, however, she is ... less concerned with how she's dressed because she probably blends right in. She's not going to worry about wearing something nice when alcohol is getting sloshed around everywhere.

It does seem kind of fun though. The party is lively without being pretentious, and for the most part she's just hanging back and listening for now, but being a tiny teenage girl in the middle of what seems to be a mostly burly men with the occasional tiny girl sprinkled in for flavor.

And Abigail, but that's because she's with Cora.

For right now she's just hanging back and observing. She'll actually integrate herself in things once she gets a better feel for it.]

[autorevive]

[nathan shows up to his afterparty looking like he stole an 8 year old girl's shirt. (disguise 9) he's also reunited with his lemur once again. barry is sitting on his shoulder while he feeds him hors d'oeuvres.]

Can you believe it, Barry? We made it, you and me.

Rose ] ❉ [ OTA

[littledhampir]

[Rose had seriously considered not coming to the after party at all, her own Knighting not something she particularly felt like celebrating, so much so that she hasn't bothered to formally invite anyone to come - Aside from a casual mention of it to Dean perhaps. This was one of those things that she'd pictured more than once in her head and now that it had come, the reality didn't even come close to the fantasy, mostly because it was a reminder of everyone who wasn't here, of those she couldn't invite and even those who probably wouldn't come if she did.

She at least, is here, which was about as much as anyone could probably expect from her under the circumstances and while she hasn't gone to a hell of a lot of effort to dress up, her jeans and shirt are clean and at least she's wearing the nicer of her leather jackets and not the one that had so many scuff marks and blood stains that it should probably be burnt already. (Will Save 14 - To not skip. Disguise 12.)

Rose is likely to have slipped in behind the other new Knights and if you hadn't seen her getting Knighted then you'd be forgiven for thinking she wasn't one of the honored guests, the brunette heading straight for the alcohol, getting herself something stronger than usual before slipping into a chair, letting the hum of celebrations and storytelling carry on around her while she kills an hour or two drinking and pretending that this isn't the last place she wants to be right now.]

Dragon's Tongue Afterparty

[koraith]

[ the tongue is on the opposite end of the spectrum, all classy music and finger food. ]

cordelia ♔ (ota.)

[allaboutme]

[ with a 24 disguise check, cordelia looks totally bangin' in a dress that hugs her curves and displays all that cleavage she was talking to stiles in detail about. she is certainly glad to hog the spotlight, and talk to everyone. ]

[killingtodeath]

[Guess who got a nat 20 on his disguise check? Yeahhhhh he makes this shit look good.

Stiles is stoked as fuck about this and working the room to try to meet as many people as possible.]

[ambitionist]

[alex got a disguise 15, so his dress pants and button down say he started to give a fuck and try ... and then he gave up. whoops. and now he's leaning against a wall texting only god knows who. clearly an a+ dragon's tongue over here.]

[bittersweeter]

[ this is technically lila's party as well, but she refuses to acknowledge that because it implies she was part of this mass promotion bs and that she didn't deserve is a year and a half ago. thanks, eric. regardless, she is dressed to the nines and flouncing about like she owns the place. which is just... normal lila zacharov behavior tbh.

she's not at all pressed that she couldn't invite her dumb best friend to the party because her dumb best friend is being a twatwaffle. :| she also knows her dumb best friend will feel bad that she missed it, so that makes her vindictively happy because she is a horrible person. ain't no shame in her game. ]

lydia martin ♔ ota

[immuno]

[ As far as her ornamentation is concerned, Lydia has never looked more like she belongs in this sect (nat 20 disguise). She's beautiful on an average day: tonight, she's a knockout, smiling and fondly chatting with and complimenting.

At least, until she notices who Stiles has invited and spent a good deal of the night with. She drains her wine glass, setting it aside on the nearest flat surface and doing a generally good job of giving the impression that she's not watching them. Or caring (bluff 38). Huff puff.

They hadn't talked about it. As far as she's concerned, he'd hardly given her a chance to process, let alone consider how she felt, and then they were at war, and he was— She's seen new sides to him since they got here. She doesn't quite know what to make of it. Somewhere along the way, he'd become one of her best friends, and that required care and thought.

Or she thought it did.

Luckily, she'd invited her share of friends. Jackson, Allison, Adam, Will, Max, Adi, Helen, Rose, Sydney, Sam, Bambi, etc. Right now, she's wishing she'd invited Damon, though. ]

Dragon's Fire Afterparty

[eldritchweaver]

[ ain't no after-party like a mage's after-party because a magic after-party has a giant heroes' feast, colorful lights floating around the ceiling, and beautiful magical illusions everywhere to deck the place out. awww yeah. ]

Dragon's Hoard Afterparty

[lissatrinall]

[ come nerd around at the nerdiest of all the nerd parties ]

aurelius ♔ (ota.)

[pickyourbattles]

[ aurelius has become such a stylish bastard over the years, thanks to all these female knights who liked to use him as a doll. (disguise 17) he's also looking rather proud to be here, and his owl rillifane is flitting about now and again. ]

sam winchester ; ota

[familybusiness]

[At least he picked the nerd party to not dress up to? With his disguise check of 7, Sam probably showed up in jeans and a flannel, and he needs a haircut. Someone cut that shit you know how bad it can get.

But he's a knight now, and it's probably a drama free party without certain other people present. Yay?]

[olreliable]

[Willow still can't believe that she's a knight now? A really real knight and not a squire. Bubbly and excited, she looks about as thrilled as possible and super pretty in this yellow dress.

She'll be awkwardly shuffling around the party, striking up random conversation where she can.]

Dragon's Light Afterparty

[sirsolace]

[ what is a cleric/medic party even like






/sings kumbayah ]

[lastdragomir]

[ lissa looks a vision and absolutely delighted to have been inducted into her sect. fluttering around she makes a point to meet the clerics already in the sect that she maybe hasn't met yet and graciously thank them for accepting her into their sect.

yep. thanking them. it's lissa, she's a strange, sweet duck. ]

Freelancer Afterparty

[wynn]

[ freelancers are a bunch of weirdos so ANYTHING GOES ]

[mydesigns]

[will's disguise 17 says ... clearly someone else dressed him. thx abigail. or alice or francesca or anyone with a vagina pretty much. now he is all set to cling to the wall and avoid talking to anyone all night. :) although he is eyeing some of the people in the room with an oddly contemplative face but when is he not doing that tbh. weirdo. ]
