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.

There are variations, but yes, if we want to put it simply-- most of them look more like me than they do humans.

[Which is really unfortunate for any humans who stumble into his dimension, considering how badly they stand out.]

Humans are taken as slaves. Needless to say, I don't approve. Hopped the first train out of Pylea as soon as the opportunity presented itself-- or first portal.

[bluffcheck]

Glad to hear you won't try to turn me or any of my friends into your personal work horses. [he grins, clearly amused despite the dark topics.]

Happy to have you! Picked the right portal, it seems!

[highnotes]

Really not my style-- I'm all for peace, gatherin' a little love. Pro-freedom.

[It hadn't been a popular viewpoint back home. He smiles back, naturally inclined as he is to do so-- and it's difficult not to when Thoster himself is grinning from ear to ear.]

I'd say so! Appreciate the warm welcome, friend.

[bluffcheck]

Happy to offer it. The Knights have done right by me, so I'm eager to make the newest among us feel that same comfort. Make sure to stick around. I hope to get a round of drinking songs going later in the night once the young ones have scampered off.

[highnotes]

Now you're speaking my language.

[His smile brightens, if it's at all possible. Drink and song? His two very favorite things.]

I'll be here-- wouldn't miss it.

[bluffcheck]

Good! I'll be counting on you to be at my side when I call for a tenor. [He grins and claps a had to the man's shoulder.]

Until then, enjoy your party.

[highnotes]

My thanks. Same to you, pal.

[He grins right back, clouting his hand over Thoster's before offering him a wave as they part ways. It's good timing-- he needs a refill on his drink.]
