WHAT || Squiring Ceremony Afterparty
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || April 1st, 2012, 6:00PM
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 you aren't 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.

ooc; also if your Knight wants to get all gussied up, you can make a Disguise (Cha) check for how good they were at hair/makeup/stylin', etc! This goes for... any time.

[Faye chose poorly and her shoes are causing her feet to feel like murder. Or rather, she wants to murder due to the pain they are causing her. She collapses in an empty chair and kicks off the torture devices. It's only then that she realizes someone else is even sitting here. Whoops.]

Welcome to the big leagues. Or something.

[It's actually the most friendly greeting she's ever managed.]

omgwtfbbq i only just found this

[flyingsolo]

[ jaina looks at her skeptically but tries to reign in the judgment ] Busy night?

wow i just thought you stopped loving me

[reallywicked]

[She shrugs, pushing her hair back behind her shoulder.]

Meeting, greeting. Trying to make rounds. I'm surprised you're over here. This whole party is for you, after all. Well.. you and the other newbies.

didn't say i didn't....

[flyingsolo]

Maybe my way of getting the lay of the land involves less footwork.

wow my feelings

[reallywicked]

How's that working out for you so far?

i'm still not getting jaina notifs for this!!1 weird

[flyingsolo]

I've already figured out who's in charge around here. People treat them differently.

[ she smirks ] And who people treat differently on the other end.

super weird

[reallywicked]

[She arches an eyebrow.] And have you learned anything interesting?

[flyingsolo]

You're still a squire.

[reallywicked]

You call that interesting? [A beat of a pause] How do you know anyway?

[flyingsolo]

People treat you differently. Some of the older Knights are keeping their eyes on you when they don't think you're watching. [ shrug ]

[reallywicked]

[She sits up straighter, casually glancing around... and seeing nothing (spot 4). Eventually she turns back to Jaina]

Who?

[flyingsolo]

I thought you didn't put much stock in my way of things.

[reallywicked]

[Faye rolls her eyes in a way that only a fickle teenager can.]

Shut up. Really... who?

[flyingsolo]

I don't know, I'm kind of enjoying this.

[reallywicked]

[This is... pretty much karma for how horrible she is to other squires, isn't it?]

Fine. Whatever. [But she's not leaving because she's... hopeful to figure out who Jaina means just by looking around again.]

[flyingsolo]

[ good luck with that. but jaina will keep talking after a pause. ] So. Do you like it here?

[reallywicked]

[Faye snaps her head back to the girl.]

Sure. [Such a rave review, right??] I mean, it's better than being homeless.

[flyingsolo]

I meant more in terms of being a Knight.

[reallywicked]

Oh. It's okay. Still not really sure what it actually mean but there are perks.

[flyingsolo]

I thought the meaning was all right there on the tin.
