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.

[There is something that instantly feels familiar and yet sets her off when he calls her that, and she doesn't waste any time in glaring and seething in his general direction.]

I have a name.

[She nearly growls this out, and stands up taller as she steps in closer to him, as if she's honestly going to intimidate such a big barge of a man.]

It's Katniss, not sweetheart.

[killarevolution]

[Yes, tiny girl. You make big strong drunkard fear for his life.]

My mistake. [The most condescending ever.] And I'm to take it you're boring holes in the back of my head for fun?

[befree]

It feels like I should know you.

[She's curt and honest, and gives a shrug of her shoulders to show that she doesn't really care who he is at all.]

I should, but I don't. [And this bothers her. But...she won't say that.]

[killarevolution]

[Haymitch could admit he feels the same way and this could be the gayest thing ever, but he... Doesn't. He just grunts.] Burning a hole in my skull isn't going to make a connection appear, sweetheart. Could've just asked.

[befree]

I said that I have a name.

[She hisses this part out, glaring up at him. Her arms cross over her chest and she looks the most offended ever.]

And you never know. It could.

[killarevolution]

And you haven't given it yet- too occupied being surly. [That last part he doesn't dignify with a response, but he does put on a slightly mocking, condescending voice.] My name is Haymitch. Now your turn.
