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.))

Ugh, I don't even know any good gossip anymore. [ she huffs, but starts to point people out. ]

That redhead is Lydia, she's from the same place as Stiles. [ lydia. ] She looks five seconds from a bitchfit, which I would pay to see. And pay whomever caused it, bless them. Cordelia -- [ she points her out. ] -- I'm pretty sure, wants to be the next Queen of Andres, which ended so well for the last one, but whatever.

[ um, she gives some more deets on dragon's tongue people, whether they be there or not. she only really knows anything about finnick and elena. explains that alex is her with a penis, which felicity probably already knows. a+ explanations. ]

[allmydreams]

[Yep, yep, yep, files all of that away.]

She's certainly dressing like a queen, if nothing else.

[She then turns her attention to Lydia, looking her over for a moment.]

Lydia's the one with the questions about the ...

[And she wiggles her fingers to indicate Lila's dreamwork.]

[bittersweeter]

Yeah. "Questions." [ lila zacharov, queen of holding grudges. ] Outright and incorrect assumptions more like.

[allmydreams]

[She glances over again before shaking her head a bit.]

Well, she is a teenager. They do a lot of assuming.

[bittersweeter]

I'm a teenager. [ YOUTH IS NO EXCUSE. ]

[allmydreams]

You are a member of the rare breed of smart teenager. Usually comes with seeing some shit and being wise enough to learn how to save yourself.

[She glances back to the redhead.]

She sounds like a girl who hasn't quite figured out that just because you have a brain doesn't mean you'll always be ahead.

[bittersweeter]

[ preach it sister. ]

Either way, she's annoying.

[allmydreams]

From what you've said, I wouldn't disagree.

[A beat.]

Is annoying a good trait for a Dragon's Tongue?

[bittersweeter]

[ shruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuug. ]

Apparently. Helen was her mentor though. [ and she doesn't want to speak ill of helen, but... she's going to speak ill of helen. ] She's the sees the best in people even when nothing is there kind of person.

[allmydreams]

I guess that would be why she's part of the Knights.

[Because this place can be full of them.]

Hopefully she's not too wrong or I worry about anyone being sent on missions with her.

[bittersweeter]

[ she makes a disdainful noise.

yep. that's it. ]

[allmydreams]

[She nods once.]

Yep. That's what I thought.

[She takes a beat and glances over.]

I'm gonna grab another drink. Want one?

[bittersweeter]

Yeah. The usual.

[allmydreams]

Coming right up.

[And with that, she will head off to fetch them more alcohol. /scene]
