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.))

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

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

[mydesigns]

Robin Hood is here? Or is that a hypothetical.

[icouldbe_bess]

Purely hypothetical. [ after a moment of thought where her brain veers wildly around tangential topics... ] Oh, wait, a talon is a claw. I guess Wynn has that covered.

[mydesigns]

There is an opening now ...

[too soon? probably.]

[icouldbe_bess]

[ she laughs sharply, a short burst of sound before she presses her lips together to rein it in. her words come out in a hiss between her teeth. ]

That was awful. And amazing. Shut up. There are some conditions I'm not totally behind, though I think I would be wicked great at it.

[ lmao no. ]

[mydesigns]

[MOVING RIGHT ALONG] The no relationships clause?

[icouldbe_bess]

Well, more the no relationships of any kind including familial clause. I wanted to be a nun for a while, I can handle celibacy, that's what vibrators are for. But I'm not fond of being alone, so that would be crap.

[mydesigns]

Judging by the current gossip, I think the last remaining Dragon's Claw would be in agreement.

[icouldbe_bess]

[ she crit failed her gossip check so she just looks at him like what? ]

...huh? I'm pretty sure the remaining Dragon's Claw doesn't want to have sex with me. Very sure.

[mydesigns]

No, not you. [werwatey??] Jeanne Gar. In the library.

[icouldbe_bess]

This sounds like a game of Clue.

[mydesigns]

I haven't figured out how to make it not sound like Clue, so.

[icouldbe_bess]

Anything in the library is pretty much guaranteed to get that. Or... "in the conservatory". Whatever that even is.

[mydesigns]

It's like a greenhouse.

[icouldbe_bess]

...Rich people are weird.

[mydesigns]

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

[icouldbe_bess]

[ she's the best. ]

I'm still getting used to one paycheck being six months worth of what I made at home.

[mydesigns]

What did you do at home?

[icouldbe_bess]

Promise not to laugh?

[mydesigns]

Promise.

[icouldbe_bess]

I designed magic tricks.

[mydesigns]

Designed magic tricks? [HE DIDN'T LAUGH FTR.]

[icouldbe_bess]

Yeah, like those cages people escape from when they're chained up? I made those. Handcuffs that unlock when you smack them a particular way. [ she fiddles with her hair awkwardly. ]

[mydesigns]

Interesting. I bet you could have went for Hoard, if you'd wanted to.
