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.

Nice.

[He can't help it. Meeting fellow performers is kind of his jam.]

I dabble in music a little myself. I never did any big performances or anything like that but before I came through the Veil I played in a piano lounge for a while.

[highnotes]

Oh really.

[You're speaking his language, buddy.]

You know, a good lounge piano player is hard to come by. I play a little myself, but I'm always on the lookout for an accompanist. I can sing and play, but I'm a triple threat; hard to dance when you're tickling the ivories.

[likeababyduck]

That is very true. If you ever need a back up, I am totally your guy.

[Just ... not in a combat situation. He's not very good there.]

[highnotes]

What about vocally, huh? Let me guess-- first tenor?

[He's just taking a stab, but like hell he's going to simply let Sweets sit in front of a piano the whole time.]

[likeababyduck]

[He gives a small wince.]

More second than first, but I tend to lean towards baritone more than anything else.

[highnotes]

Baritone. [He sounds pleasantly surprised.] Good to know. I'll remember that, peach pie.

[likeababyduck]

[He grins.]

So is there anything else you want to know about the Knights, or any questions I can answer?

[highnotes]

Oh, I've got plenty, but I'm not sure tonight is the time to ask them.

[Or maybe it is-- but he's always thought it was poor form to work during a party.]

I've read all the fine print so far. It all seems pretty simple, at the end of the day, doesn't it? Fight the good fight, do what's right.

[likeababyduck]

Pretty much.

[But he's right. Let's not ruin the party.]

We can start once you're settled and see where we go from there.

[highnotes]

Sounds like a plan to me. For now-- how about a drink?

[Because he's running low, and that's a travesty.]

[likeababyduck]

I would love one.

[And with that they will go off to chat for a drink and will pick up knightly things on the social log or something similar! /scene?]

[highnotes]

[sounds good! /scene!]
