HW: *stands, with sleeves up to show the scar on her upper arm* [Initiate's full name], please stand forward. In: *comes forward, may kneel if so desired* HW: You wish to pledge yourself to our cause? In: I do. HW: Then hear me! Do you pledge your peace for a greater peace? In: I do so swear. HW: Do you pledge your honor for a greater honor? In: I do so swear. HW: Do you pledge your blood for another's blood? In: I do so swear. HW: Hear me again, [Initiate]: these oaths are not lightly made. Do you feel able in mind and body to carry them out? There is no shame or dishonor in postponing this responsibility. In: [Answer truthfully. If you refuse, then you go back to training until another day. You get three chances. If you accept, then go on to the rest of the ceremony.] HW: Then, by your peace, honor, and blood, these oaths shall be sealed. *hands the Initiate a dagger blade first; a glowing purple ter'angreal lies encased in the hilt* In: *takes the dagger and slices their forearm [and don't be a wimp about it! :)]* Peace above peace, honor above honor, blood above blood... [A channeller of the Initiate's choosing comes to heal their wound, leaving a scar for rememberance. The current Tower healer-person will stand in if the Initiate has no preference.] HW: *clasps the Initiate's arm with a warm smile* Welcome, [Initiate's familiar name], into the Purple Tower. This dagger is yours in rememberance of this day; the ter'angreal imbedded in the hilt which bound you to your duties shall also enhance your perception to assist you in the fulfillment of those duties. Have you any requests? In: [The proper response is either "Bond me to so-and-so" or "LET'S PARTY!!", but if you have anything else to ask, merely warn me beforehand.] [Applause, applause! The end.]
