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.

Whereas the alternative of looking like you tripped in off the streets is a big step up, obviously. [ she raises an eyebrow pointedly. it sounds less like she's trying to insult him and more like she thinks her advice is important and helpful ]

We cant all look like a million bucks, Princess. I think you got that one down pat. I'm good like this.

[ he checked her out again, and crit fail here cause its so noticeable.]

Well, at least he's got good taste.

O' course I do. I'd have t' be blind to miss your beauty.

[ he doesn't even need a bluff check, she's a hottie, its true.]

[ she makes a light scoffing sound, but instead of just laughing in his face and swanning off like she might have a couple years ago, she lingers around because, well. she's not the most popular girl in sunnydale here, and it's kind of nice to be given the admiration she still feels she deserves. she flips her hair back with one hand carelessly, looking him over ] Well, yeah.

So what's your deal anyway?

[ She was the prettiest girl in the room to him, so she gets the full attention of one broke Irishman.]

I'm a jack of all trades, love. I can do a bit of everything. I guess the boss figured that'd be a bonus here.

Jack of all trades, master of none?

Exactly. But, I can be pretty handy, shocking as it may sound.

[ he added with an amused note to his voice.]

So, how long have you worked here, love?

Since last fall. Right before the big coup on Andres Isle.

So did ya fight in that deal?

[ She didn't look like a fighter but looks can be deceiving.]

I was on socialite detail. Someone had to wine and dine with the Andres elite to keep them from freaking out.

Hard to freak out, with a beauty like yourself chattin'em up no doubt.

[ He smiles a bit, he can't even help it.]

I never asked your name did I, I'm sorry love that's pretty rude o' me. [ he offered a hand over.] I'm Doyle.

[ she looks at the hand for a moment skeptically before taking it lightly ] Cordelia Chase.

[ Just a shake, he knew better at least right now than to try and kiss her hand. he let go after the shake.]

Lovely name, for a lovely lass.

I like it better without the "Sir" attached. I mean, seriously?

Well, you can blame that one on the British love. Woman weren't really allowed to be knights back in the day. So, it's pretty much the only term they got to use. [ He shrugged but, thrying to look sympathetic. He's not, but hey he's gotta try. (Bluff 15) ]

Yeah, well it's the twentieth-first century now. Why can't he just invent a word?

Well, make a word princess, and I'll call ya that.

[ He offered a grin.]

Aren't you accommodating.

[ He chuckled keeping a comment to himself instead opting for.]

Thanks, I think.

Whoever said chivalry is dead has never seen this place.

I wouldn't say all that, but some of us try.

[ At least when it comes to a babe like her.]

Just as long as you don't let it go to your head, so that you start thinking us women are incapable of opening a door for ourselves.

No no, never. Some ladies like it, others don't. My ma raised me better than that i like to think anyway.

[ Shhh, his moms awesome.]

Glad to hear it.
