WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
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.

[She nods.]

There's five different sects - the Dragon's Hide for fighters, the Dragon's Tongue for diplomats, the Dragon's Fire for magic users, Dragon's Hoard for the researchers and scientists, and the Dragon's Light, which is for healers. Then there's freelancers, who don't really fit in any particular sect.

[She holds up a hand.]

I'm a freelancer. But you'll have some time to ask around and figure out which sect works best for you.

[leftenants]

Sounds like I'll be doing my homework for a bit.

[Even if she opts to follow in Kate's footsteps, she'd like to be as informed as possible. Only proper way to make a decision like that.]

How do freelancers fit into the whole deal?

[killmypatience]

Not really that differently from any other sect. Each mission is made up of a collection of knights from all the different sects. Being a freelancer means we can operate in a lot of different functions - like we can be the muscle, but we can also work as a diplomat if need be.

[Not that Kate is all that great at being the muscle, but she's good with a gun in a pinch.]

[leftenants]

[That sounds a little more up her alley than any one specialization, but she won't make any decisions until she's done her research.]

So it takes someone flexible.

[That gets a smile of approval.]

I can see that being a good fit for you.

[From one lady cop to another.]

[killmypatience]

[She nods in agreement with a small smile.]

Better than anything else. I usually prefer not to box myself in.

[leftenants]

Very smart.

[She lifts her glass, smile hitching a little bit wider.]

Better not to limit your options.

[She glances back to the party at large, pressing her lips together for half a moment.]

I should probably be mingling, shouldn't I. Mind if I bend your ear again later about getting situated?

[killmypatience]

[She nods in agreement, before giving her arm a light squeeze.]

Of course. Enjoy the party.

[And with that, she will wander off to do some mingling herself. /scene]
