MUSIC || ♬ Breach Birth - Chevelle

The violent atmosphere surrounding Slovechnia's capitol city made it impossible to land anywhere nearby without the plane being in danger of being attacked. Instead, the Knights arrived last week several cities away, and were met there by a few Knights who had remained stationed in the country to assist with the refugee movement. Over the past seven days, they've helped transport the team to the capitol, so that they might avoid roadblocks, government checkpoints, et cetera. There hasn't been a great deal of comfort provided on the trip, and reports given from the city of Milosogoraht have been less than promising.

It's probably no surprise, therefore, when they finally reach the city, that there appears to be some kind of violent protest going on in the streets. Traveling in the back of an armored van, it's possible to look out through slits in the side and see the huge crowds, yelling in Slovechnian, chanting and screaming, clutching children to their side. The city is caked in snow, and most people don't seem to be wearing clothing sufficient to protect them from the elements. A couple men in army jackets stand on top of crates with megaphones, seeming to rouse up further unrest with whatever words they're shouting. The truck grumbles through at a careful pace, not wanting to run over anyone in the crowded streets by accident. The goal is to get them as close to the castle as possible - which unfortunately rests at the top of an incredibly steeply inclined path clogged with members of the angry mob.

Koraith opens the window to the cab of the truck, mumbling to the driver to not stop the vehicle, no matter what. Which is all well and good until objects start pelting the side of it - followed quickly by the sounds of actual bodies hurling up against the side of the very slow moving truck.

"They're going to breach," Koraith says, his voice grim but determined. "Riddick, Fredrick, Tia... if you would be so kind as to try to provide us the cover necessary to reach the castle gates?"

WHAT || Slovechnia Mission Briefing
WHERE || Knights HQ, the Round Table room
WHEN || Sat, Feb 18th, a few minutes before 5pm.
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread, don't worry about maintaining tagging order.

Just as before, accessing the secret room where the Round Table is housed requires using the Knight's access card to open the glass class beside the mural of the War in Heaven, located across from the ballroom entrance. Using the fire extinguisher as a lever to activate the "door" mechanism reveals the long torch-lit hall plastered in artworks depicting the Knight's history. The tenants of the Knighthood hang large and foreboding over the doors at the end of the hall, which stand open to reveal the brightly lit Round Table, and the majestic crystalline dragon statue presiding over it.

Koraith and Tia are all there right on time, clustered in seats one apart from each other closer to where the doors on the far side of the room are. There's no sign of Wynn yet.

WHAT || Koraith meets with his squire
WHERE || Knight's HQ, Andie's Room
WHEN || Saturday afternoon
HOW || Actionspam

[Wynn had explained to Vanille upon their first meeting that the Knight she would be squired to was currently on a mission, and would be returning within a few days, but told her little more about him. When she wakes on Saturday morning, she'll find a note attached to the outside of her door in elegant script, asking her to meet in the front lobby around 1pm.

It's just down the hall, so a very easy find, and there's only one person standing there when she arrives, beside the Knight working the desk.

He presents a hulking figure, easily seven feet tall, with hands that looks like claws clasped behind his back. As he turns to look at her, it's clear just how far his inhuman appearance extends. Ridged spines form his brow, golden tendrils hanging down from his cheeks almost like mustachios. A fine dark golden mane winds around his face like a beard, some of which is carefully braided. He wears a dark red robed lined in white fur, and there's jewelry evident on his fingers and around his neck. He fixes his gaze on her, and his eyes seem to smile.]

WHO || Wynn, any and all Knights
WHAT || Squiring Ceremony Afterparty
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || February 1st, 2012, 9:00PM
HOW || Prose OR Actionspam

The "afterparty" is rumored to be the real main event of the night. A black-tie affair in the lavish, opulent ballroom, it is every new Knight's chance to mingle and meet some of their new brothers in arms. Of course, a couple hours are provided following the ceremony for everyone to change, do hair and makeup, and choose from the vast array of formal attire in the closets of the balcony "dressing rooms" located at the top of spiraled staircases on either side of the ballroom. A separate dressing room exists for men and women, and they include full bathrooms (with, thankfully, very modern plumbing).

The squires are usually among the last to arrive, and the ballroom is full to the brim with a fancy array of people, of all shapes, sizes and species.

Hope none of you are shy. They're all here to meet you.

Feel free to make your own open threads for people to come congratulate your newly pledged knight.

WHO || Wynn, characters newly joining the Knights, current Knights attending the ceremony
WHAT || February Squiring Ceremony
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Great Hall
WHEN || February 1st, 2012, 6:00PM
HOW || Actionspam

The impressively large Great Hall of the castle could easily pass as a royal throne room, with its length and the red carpet leading up to a set of steps. However, there is no throne set at the top of them, and the Hall is wide enough to accommodate hundreds of Knights, in theory. Today no theories are needed: it seems that almost every Knight in the London area has decided to attend the squiring. Perhaps it's the rumors floating around that some of these arrivals have caused something of a stir even with Wynn himself, but whatever the reason, the Knights stand in ranks on either side of the wide stretch of red, each wearing the traditional set of ceremonial armor in their possession.

The new squires were fitted to their armor after meeting with Wynn, and it's traditional for each to appear for the first time before the Knighthood wearing it. Each new member is assured that only a very small number of the Knights make use of their armor for other circumstances, but it does create an intimidating sense of unity as they stand shoulder to shoulder in rank and file to receive their newest pledges.

The squires are ushered in together, with a flair of orchestral music that fills the hall with as much pomp as possible. It's a lot like that last scene in A New Hope. Yeah, you thought I was going to get through an entire post being all serious, didn't you.

At the top of the steps, Wynn waits, wearing a sword on his belt that canny eyes† might recognize as familiar.

It's one hell of a long walk past all those staring, curious eyes. Luckily, it's a long musical number.
