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.

And here I thought she was never without a cheeky smile.

[ it's funny because she reflexively smiles. she wanted to make a face, but it didn't work. whoops! ] Not had any disorderly knights about to smile at.

Well, now you'll never be short, comin' back around here.

Yeah, I mean, back two hours and already I've run into one. [ she reaches out with her foot and nudges his shin. ] I hope you've had an absolutely horrid time without me here.

Course I have. Have you met these people?

Did you miss me? [ THERE IS ONLY ONE RIGHT ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION BTW. ]

Turn around and let us have a look and we're sure to say yes.

We're meant to be setting good examples for the squires, Edain, and somehow, I think checking out my arse might not be the best example to set.

I only saw one squire strut down the red carpet today and he looks occupied talking to his royal Wynn-ness.

[ she makes such a nose wrinkly, scrunched up face for a second. before she gracefully turns and looks back at him over her shoulder, eyebrows raised. she can't help liking the attention, it's perfectly distracting. ] Happy?

[ he affixes her with a wolfish smile ] Well now, I can definitely say you were a sight to be missed.

You're so easy. [ but ugh she is swayed by his utter lack of charm and she can't help smiling again, even as she turns back. ]

Y'should try it some time. Might suit ye.

You really think so? [ she raises her eyebrows, but she's idly curious. ]

Or if not, it would suit me just fine.

Yeah, I bet it would. Too bad I'm not the in the business of suiting you, isn't it?

Guess I'll have to settle for lookin'. Until you get drunk off yer arse enough.

Not enough alcohol in the world, love.

Lucky we have alcohol pouring in from other worlds too, then.

[ she snorts out a laugh. ] Maybe one day you'll manage to get me that drunk.

From never t'maybe in less than a minute. Think I'm makin' headway.

Also said "one day". Like when I'm eighty and less adorable.

All the same in the dark.

Oh my god, you're incorrigible!

One of my better traits.
