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.

[Martha offers her own commentary wryly]

I don't think they had armor to fit women back in the eighth century. Can't imagine we'd have to wear it while training, though. Surely they've got something more modern when it comes to protective wear.

[slay]

Well, I was thinking a little more along the lines of cuter, but hey, protection too.

[aproperdoctor]

[amused] You'll have to inquire about different colours of bulletproof vests.

[slays]

You think they'll have pink?

[aproperdoctor]

Doesn't hurt to ask, I suppose. If not, maybe you can whip something up yourself.

[slays]

I think you may be overestimating my Martha Stewart talents.

[aproperdoctor]

[Amused look] Can of spray paint? Assuming that you can find it in pink, which...I'm pretty sure they have just about every colour. I mean, you could go all-out and sew on sequins, if that's your sort of thing, I guess, but...it's probably not. Er, the sewing bit, anyway. You might like sequins, I dunno.

[slay]

Oooh! Or superglue those little rhinestones. [ She gestures around the seams of where her imaginary bulletproof vest would be. ] It'd make a cute border.

[aproperdoctor]

Or a Bedazzler - though I'm not sure if it would be able to punch through a bulletproof vest.

[slay]

If a Bedazzler could punch through, it probably wouldn't be a very good one.

[aproperdoctor]

Or it'd be a pretty hardcore Bedazzler. My mum had to confiscate the one my sister and I shared after she caught us trying to use it on the sofa.
