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."


((Given the large amount of promotions occurring, we will not be doing individual posts/parties for each.  Instead, please there are top comments on this post for each section's ceremonies, and each section's parties.  Feel free to make Drakenet posts or plurks establishing your character's invited guests, and tagging into as much as you would like/handwaving as much as you'd like.))

It wasn't... that bad.

[pickyourbattles]

I like to think I earned it.

[littledhampir]

[Rose just kind of, stares for a long hard moment, her drink in her hand, expression almost but not quite blank, like she's caught between 'omg just shut up' and whut?!]

I... don't even know what that is. [Apparently it's more the latter. (Know. PC?! 4.)]

But if you're talking about my drinking? [Given that's literally the only thing she's been doing since she got here. (Wis 17.)] Not really in the mood to celebrate so it's this, or nothing.

[What a perfectly timed Nat 20 on her Will Save to stop Rose from breaking out the bitch.]

[ambitionist]

Eh, it's probably one of my biggest flaws.

[autorevive]

Yeah, sure. We were doin' community service together.

[ambitionist]

Sorry. [which isn't very much in terms of apology ... but it's a lot coming from alex, ok.]

[olreliable]

Well, yeah but... It hasn't even been a month. I guess volunteering for Andres sort of put me in the express lane. But...it's good, right? And maybe we can have more time to study together now?

[s-so awkward]

[olreliable]

...No? [lmfao bluff crit fail. Which means she is not only a terrible liar but she's glancing over at Aurelius at the same time. Good job.]

[killingtodeath]

Did I ever tell you she's from Beacon Hills too? Didn't know her super well. Knew her brother, though. He's here too.

[killingtodeath]

Super hot, too. [He looks around and just sort of appreciates all the fine ass people in this place.]

[killingtodeath]

Pretty sure I've decided on a name. Huey. [but he pronounces it so that it's almost Hoo-ey.]

Huey Hedwig Stilinski has a nice ring to it?

[killingtodeath]

Hey! That only almost happened once. [He gives a good natured laugh about it.]

I guess I like having the chance to be the one who can do something.

[immuno]

You didn't need magic to do something on Andres.

[ Because fuck Koraith, right? Attributes monster-slaying entirely to Stiles. Casually. ]

[theshameofcain]

Guess it depends on who it was. Some of these girls... are intense.

[a beat.] It was a girl, right? Gus doesn't really seem like that kind of gay man.

[icouldbe_bess]

...Rich people are weird.

[pathology]

[she just hands the bottle over.] You can keep it, I'm sort of tired of ... everything.

[mydesigns]

You think being in the tongue guarantees you caviar?

[mydesigns]

You practiced spinning?

[mydesigns]

United by our lack of allegiance.

[mydesigns]

[he snorts a laugh — she's so good at making him laugh still.] You won't hear me arguing that.

[immuno]

I think it lessens the likelihood of parking behind a screen or getting shot at.

[lurings]

I know. [ stiles pls. cora is basically abigail's best friend. the one that isn't a puppy.

welllllllll. ] Cora told me already. And I went to Derek's squiring party.

[ she's in the loop. far in the loop. unlocked the level four hale backstory already and everything. sans peter shit. still more in the loop of hale backstory than most people that don't hail from bacon falls. ]

[bittersweeter]

I need a cigarette. [ /veers wildly toward the balcony. ]

[socialgraces]

[ as promised, francesca shows up to stiles' knighting ceremony only fashionably late. she smiles when she spots him, and she's just as proud of his nat 20 disguise check as she is his promotion. this being a dragon's tongue party, she knew to come dressed to impress (disguise 37, or 47 if boobs are your thang), and waits a moment to catch his attention before approaching. ] I always make it a priority to introduce myself to the most well-dressed man in the room.

[bittersweeter]

Damn right we are. [ /preens casually. ] Pretty and deadly. [ her smile turns a little wicked. (cha 21) ]
