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."

Dragon's Hide Afterparty

[ironsides]

[ the dragon's hide is likely to throw parties that move away from the classy end of the spectrum, so come let loose, engage in drinking contests, arm wrestling, or hear tales of conquests past. ]

Dragon's Tongue Afterparty

[koraith]

[ the tongue is on the opposite end of the spectrum, all classy music and finger food. ]

Dragon's Fire Afterparty

[eldritchweaver]

[ ain't no after-party like a mage's after-party because a magic after-party has a giant heroes' feast, colorful lights floating around the ceiling, and beautiful magical illusions everywhere to deck the place out. awww yeah. ]

Freelancer Afterparty

aurelius ♔ (ota.)

[pickyourbattles]

[ aurelius has become such a stylish bastard over the years, thanks to all these female knights who liked to use him as a doll. (disguise 17) he's also looking rather proud to be here, and his owl rillifane is flitting about now and again. ]

cordelia ♔ (ota.)

[allaboutme]

[ with a 24 disguise check, cordelia looks totally bangin' in a dress that hugs her curves and displays all that cleavage she was talking to stiles in detail about. she is certainly glad to hog the spotlight, and talk to everyone. ]

sam winchester ; ota

[familybusiness]

[At least he picked the nerd party to not dress up to? With his disguise check of 7, Sam probably showed up in jeans and a flannel, and he needs a haircut. Someone cut that shit you know how bad it can get.

But he's a knight now, and it's probably a drama free party without certain other people present. Yay?]

[theshameofcain]

[Bambi rolled an 8, so she's probably wearing a hoodie and leggings or something- this is clearly why Cordelia had to pull her aside and do a Popular montage for her before the squiring party.

But she's all smiles, anyway. A far cry from her more somber attitude on Andres.]

Why am I not shocked to see you with this crowd?

[olreliable]

[Willow nearly got dressed in the dark with her disguise check of... 7. But thankfully Lila had offered to help her with non-90s fashion. So instead of this beauty, Aurelius is greeted by Willow in this because of Lila's assist for disguise with a 29.]

Hi.

[Her smile is both reserved and excited all at once.]

So... promotions, huh?

[olreliable]

[Willow still can't believe that she's a knight now? A really real knight and not a squire. Bubbly and excited, she looks about as thrilled as possible and super pretty in this yellow dress.

She'll be awkwardly shuffling around the party, striking up random conversation where she can.]

[killingtodeath]

[Guess who got a nat 20 on his disguise check? Yeahhhhh he makes this shit look good.

Stiles is stoked as fuck about this and working the room to try to meet as many people as possible.]

[immuno]

[ No matter how good Lydia looks with her very own nat 20 (~romance~), she still gives a moment's pause upon seeing Stiles, her breath fluttering as she blinks, like she can't believe it's him for a moment.

The moment, like most, is quickly squashed in favor of a stone cold exterior that she likes to keep up on principle. ]

You too?

[ Though she mitigates her thirst, she certainly doesn't fully quash the surprise to see him in the same sect as her. The attempt to do so is about as plain on her face as the surprise leaking through. ]

cora hale | ota

[impetere]

[With a disguise check that's all of 4, Cora ... did not dress up for this event. She does at least wear a pair of jeans that has no holes in it and a nice-ish shirt. Once she gets to the party, however, she is ... less concerned with how she's dressed because she probably blends right in. She's not going to worry about wearing something nice when alcohol is getting sloshed around everywhere.

It does seem kind of fun though. The party is lively without being pretentious, and for the most part she's just hanging back and listening for now, but being a tiny teenage girl in the middle of what seems to be a mostly burly men with the occasional tiny girl sprinkled in for flavor.

And Abigail, but that's because she's with Cora.

For right now she's just hanging back and observing. She'll actually integrate herself in things once she gets a better feel for it.]

[lurings]

[ abigail will be having no knighting ceremony of her own, but she's happy enough to watch stiles and and alex and cora's. and will's. (which is admittedly the one she cares about the most because will.) BUT STILES IS ALSO IMPORTANT OK. she waits for him to mill around and receive his well deserved congratulations, tugging on the ends of her hair.

(shout out to alex karamazov for doing her bruise hiding make up. best.)

eventually when she gets over her nerves, she moves forward, licking her lips as she approaches. ]

Hi.

[ambitionist]

[alex got a disguise 15, so his dress pants and button down say he started to give a fuck and try ... and then he gave up. whoops. and now he's leaning against a wall texting only god knows who. clearly an a+ dragon's tongue over here.]

[bittersweeter]

[ w o w alex. lila isn't exactly surprised by his lack of give a fuck, but she gave enough fucks for the both of them tbh so it's fine. ]

Well, lookie here, if it isn't my favorite squire turned knight. If I say congrats will you make that face where you look unimpressed, but you're happy on the inside?

[ambitionist]

[he slowly looks up at her from his phone and makes ... that exact face. or a vague summation of it, idk.]
