WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || April 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.

So, family business.

[She knew there were a few people whose families were connected to the Knights, but she thinks Gus is the first one she's met.]

Malina mentioned it happens that way for some people. Still learning about how things work on this side of the veil.

[druidisms]

Well, Malina would know. She fucking followed me here. [ he shrugs, but cracks a smile, looking fond. best friends, yo. ]

[leftenants]

You go way back, I take it.

[Malina had mentioned it was something like a family business for her, too.]

[druidisms]

Almost twenty years. [ ugh they're so old. ] We met in college.

[leftenants]

[Abbie lets out a low whistle.]

A lot of people fall out of touch after college. Good for you for sticking with each other.

[druidisms]

She didn't give me much choice.

[leftenants]

She does seem like the persistent type.

[druidisms]

That's one way to put it. [ the complimentary way to put it, tbh. gus would have just said irritatingly stubborn. ]

[leftenants]

[Probably the same terminology Abbie herself would use concerning certain friends. She smiles, lifting her glass to him for a moment.]

Well, it's been a pleasure, but I think I see one of the new squires flagging me down. Friend from home. It was nice to meet you, Gus. [Even if it had scared the crap out of her initially.] Maybe we'll work together soon?

[druidisms]

Yeah, you too. [ he gives her a little nod and lets her go on her way. ]
