WHEN || March 1st, 2015, 6:00PM [backdated]
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.

[ Alec takes a moment to think back. It wasn't that long ago, but long enough for him to settle a little bit. He'd come through the veil ages ago though. Spent most of his time doing what he could to stay alive and out of the spotlight. Old habits die hard. ]

Few months. So far no one's tried to kill me which is a pretty big step up from what I came from.

[ He felt a little safer here, but not by much. Not after what happened at the Hudson River. After the handshake he lets go. ]

What was your world like?

Sounds like a definite perk.

[Any place where you don't have a target painted on your back has to be an improvement. Sometimes she feels like she's got one plastered on hers-- or some kind of beacon that calls out to demons and all things nefarious, but she figures it's just part of the job.]

I'd say 'normal,' but considering there's no universal definition for it, it won't fly. Besides, turned out things weren't quite as tame as I once thought. Actually, it turned out to be a little like this one-- except the magic and monsters weren't out in the open.

[ Far as Alec's concerned everyone has a target on their back from birth. Or ya know creation in Alec's case. He's lived with a target since he said fuck you to Manticore. You get used to it. ]

Mine was nothing like this place. Monsters were still hidden, but this place--a helluva lot cleaner.
