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.))

[ freelancers are a bunch of weirdos so ANYTHING GOES ]

[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. ]

[lurings]

[ fluttering over like a shy butterfly, abigail zooms right to will's side. so many knighting ceremonies, so many times she needs to have make up applied to her cheek. she said fuck it today and let alex rest his make up brushes (probably stolen from lila), because she knows she's only going to see will and then... hang out with the dogs so she doesn't have to run into anyone else.

like han.

great plan. such a smarty pants. when she reaches will, she grabs his arm and stretches up to whisper: ] Happy knighting!

[ he even gets a smile. ]

[mydesigns]

[i'd hope alex would use better stuff than that ok!! but w/e, will isn't going to comment on it even if he notices. which he probably does barring a crit fail bc his spot game is intense.]

Thanks. [and she gets a smile back as she pulls him out of the weird little shell in his head.]

[lurings]

[ wow excuse u, lila has gr8 make up. her problem rifles yours. GET OUT OF THIS THREAD, TINY BLONDE HEATHEN. ]

You look nice.

[mydesigns]

Uh, thanks. Francesca picked it out. [ if left to his own devices will would have showed up looking like he came out of macklemore's thrift shop video. sighs for him.]

[lurings]

[ flannel and cardigans are in this season, will. ]

That was nice of her.

[allmydreams]

[Felicity scaled back a bit for this party (disguise 16), but she still looks lovely and as she makes her way around the room she can pick up a few familiar faces as well as new ones. When she spots Will, she makes her way over with a small smile.]

Welcome to the team.

[mydesigns]

[he stares at her oddly before settling on his pithy comment:] I thought the point of freelancing was not to have a team.

[allmydreams]

[She gives a bit of a shrug.]

We're still kind of a team. We're the team of misfits - but there's nothing wrong with that.

[mydesigns]

United by our lack of allegiance.

[ actually all dolled up, alice looks pretty if understated, bright red hair free and wavy around her shoulders, held back from her face with a "headband" made out of tiny braids pinned into place.

she barely knows anyone here, or in the castle in general, considering she was barely squired before she went off to war. now, freshly knighted, she's reminded of how out of her depth she is. parties were her sisters' deal -- triple h would feel very at home here, whereas alice is just sipping a water and huffing because her 24 HOUR STAIN PROOF BASICALLY PERMANENT lipstick was a crock of shit and is now gracing her glass.

such lies. such rude lies. ]

[mydesigns]

You decided to freelance?

[yep. he just approaches her with no greeting other than that. will graham is not very good at hello.]

[icouldbe_bess]

[ she doesn't look up right away, frowning at her glass still. ]

There doesn't seem to be a sect for returning paintings you steal when you're bored. Dragon's I immediately regret and apologize for this decision, but you guys seriously need to work on your security. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

[mydesigns]

[he cracks a half-smile at that.] No, I guess not. Doesn't fit with the theme, either.

[icouldbe_bess]

Dragon's Talons. There! [ she looks up, smile lifting her lips. ] Now I can have my own sect. Me and Robin Hood.

[allmydreams]

[Sup, Alice. Felicity is making her rounds and meeting all the newbies, and she catches sight of Alice, her dilemma, and because she is a girl, knows that pain all too well (sense motive 22).]

It never lasts the way it says it will, does it?

[icouldbe_bess]

No, it really doesn't. [ she makes a face. ] I feel lied to.

[allmydreams]

I don't blame you. Then again, the make up industry has been lying to us for decades.

[icouldbe_bess]

And yet I can't quit them. It was good for the five seconds it lasted. [ she looks up. ] Hi. I'm Alice. Resident newcomer and owner of trash lipstick.

[bluffcheck]

[Thoster didn't even get the memo to dress nice with his disguise of 11 so you get this sight, Alice. But he's all smiles as he quickly crosses the room to his (now former) squire's side.]

Now, now- what's that look about?

[Don't be mad at your makeup, gurl. You look fly as hell.]

[icouldbe_bess]

False advertising. This lipstick is supposed to last all day and... it hasn't lasted ten minutes.

[bluffcheck]

Well, you still look dazzling, so I wouldn't worry about it much.

[icouldbe_bess]

Aw thanks! [ she preens happily. aw yus. looking fly. ]

[opprobrium]

[ Much like when he became a squire, Sebastian was being a wallflower now that all was said and done. He had yet to ditch the suit. he was standing there watching the other people, mostly keeping quiet. KHe had only told Jaina, well, of course Bo knows, and likely Andrew because of Bo, but he didn't care if anyone else knew. Loner for life, yo.]
