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.))

[She awkwardly tucks her hair behind her ear.]

Well, hey- I'm sure you'll find a...nice, not aggressive girl you really like.

[pickyourbattles]

[ he smiles shyly, looking at her a moment, before glancing down, scratching the back of his head ] ... I imagine so, yes.

[olreliable]

[She just sort of shifts from one foot to another, like she's got something to say but not sure how to say it. HOW DOES SHE BOY? This is why she needed Oz to just be super nonchalant about leading her through this shit.]

Well, I should... I mean, I don't want to keep you.

[pickyourbattles]

Oh, I uh, I don't mind if you do.

[olreliable]

Really? [She bounces just once on the balls of her feet.]

[pickyourbattles]

Unless you'd rather--

[olreliable]

No! [She says... actually, she almost shouts it.] No rather. I just- didn't want to bug you? I mean, there could be plenty of people you want to hang out with. Big promotion party and all.

[pickyourbattles]

None I can think of.

[olreliable]

Then I guess you're stuck with me for now. [And doesn't she look so pleased about it.] Is there anyone in the sect you're excited to work with?

[pickyourbattles]

Oh, plenty. I hear Sir Gar is one of the foremost experts on arcane lore around here. Sir Magnus as well.

[olreliable]

Sir Gar and I talked about finding some projects to work on! Since my squire timeline was sort of fast tracked after Andres and we didn't really get a chance to. She seems super nice, though.

[pickyourbattles]

Perhaps you could introduce me.

[olreliable]

Oh, definitely! She's so nice and really cool. You'd like her. But not like... in the way we were talking about earlier. Well, maybe, but... I think she's sort of seeing someone?

[pickyourbattles]

Oh, I-- I didn't mean in-- in that sort of way.

[olreliable]

Right! Sorry... I guess I've sort of got it on the brain now.

[pickyourbattles]

Sorry. If that's my fault, I mean.

[olreliable]

Yeah... I mean, no! Well, it's because of you. But not your fault. Fault sounds like it's a bad thing, and it's-- [She finally takes a breath] not.

[pickyourbattles]

Oh. Well good. [ lmfao the thread of this conversation is so lost, he doesn't even know what he's saying good to ] Glad to hear it.

[olreliable]

[Look this is what happens when you let her babble like this for this long. She's going to hang out with him, but it's probably just going to be lots of small talk confusing babble for the rest of the party. So maybe call this wrapped? UNTIL MISSION CUTIES.]
