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.

[There were... a lot of people who were squired together, but Stiles is pretty sure that pretty blonde was one of them. And even if she wasn't, he's at least going to say hello.]

Hello, fellow squire! [He's got a goofy grin on his face.] That's still weird to say. Hi, I'm Stiles.

[easily]

[You would be correct, Stiles. She thinks she noticed you too -- hard not to notice how clumsy you were in that metal, tbh.]

It is a little strange. [Not least of all because in Rebekah's experience women weren't allowed to be made knights. It's nice this organization is so progressive, at least.]

Rebekah.

[killingtodeath]

Nice to meet you, Rebekah. Gotta say, I'm used to strange, but this? I mean these people are knights? That's pretty cool.

[easily]

That is one word for it -- I didn't realize it was something people took seriously anymore. Last I heard musicians could become knights these days.

[Really -- in Rebekah's attempts to catch up with modern culture she's had a few rude awakenings.]

[killingtodeath]

Do you play? [That was not the right conclusion to jump to but whatever. He's sort of scattered.] Maybe that's the plan here. World's largest knighted band.

[easily]

A little piano, but hardly enough to be in a band. [Just stuff she's picked up over the years, mostly.]

[killingtodeath]

Really? I couldn't ever pay attention long enough to learn. That's really cool, though.

[easily]

[She smirks a little.] I'm a woman of many talents, what can I say?

[killingtodeath]

Oh yeah? What other talents?

[easily]

It'd be no fun if I just told you.

[killingtodeath]

Alright, so... charades, it is.

[easily]

Or you'll just have to wait and find out. Isn't that more fun?

[killingtodeath]

Is this one of those 'patience is a virtue' talks now?

[easily]

It might be. It's never fun to learn too much about a person too quickly.
