[OOC: however the cord fits your character is up to you btw chances are it is going to be really big on the kids but yea
I also have updated the Guide for a section regarding the Ibada ceremony]
If the boy was embarassed, it was the last thing Kydobi had wanted to do. He wanted the little cat to feel special, to feel welcomed with open arms. That he was noticed and appreciated.
"No problem kiddo.", he smiled again before dangling the necklace in his jaws and careful putting Atticus' head in the loop. He doubted it would be a perfect fit because he had asked the NPCs in the market place to make them all a little bit larger than needed just in case. So that way everyone could have it worn.
He looked at the them once more before turning to speak, his voice boomed with pride.
"They may or may not fit perfectly but I have already alerted the merchants and they will be happy to tailor them to your liking. You see, Debutantes will receive a cord. One made of blue material. They will not receive their black cord until they successfully return from Ibada."
He cleared his throat, "Forgive me I've gotten ahead of myself. To be welcomed into our rank you must prove you are loyal to the Pitt. That you have what it takes to survive for we are not weak. We may be preyed upon by others because of our past but we never fall and we never give up no matter how dire and bleak it looks. We have heart and we have a deep strength. So in order to fully become one of us you must prove it."
Now Ky was beginning to doubt himself.. was this too harsh? Would people call him a hypocrite and demand he undergo Ibada? Did he even have to prove? Regardless he continued.
"A clear demonstration of your perseverance is required. So before you earn your black cord or even your... dagger," he nodded to the small stone carving dangling from his own neck, "You will be escorted deep into the desert, blindfolded, and left there. You must survive for at least a week and find your way home. You will return with some part of an animal that you scavenged, hunted, or simply stumbled upon. It may be a piece of bone, a tooth perhaps. But it must not decompose and rot. After you return with this you will be met with a banquet in which you will be adorned with the black cord....All Aspirants and below are expected to experience this trial"
This was the hard part, "If you fail you can either remain here as your rank and try again in the future or leave for good."
After this he flicked his ear and looked [member=10555]sweeney c.f.[/member] "Sweeney. Come here and receive your cord you brave girl.", another misfit child. Another he hoped to provide a place of belonging and sense of home fore. The whole point of this new tradition was to inspire unity and solidify bonds.
