WHEN || May 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.

[he is distracted by her amazing dance skills that he is nothing in comparison, and probably focusing too much that he missteps a few times (dance 8).]

And is there one that is more your interest?

[keptbiting]

Oh no, he's back home. Other side of the veil an' all. [ she tuts lightly, trying to get him to focus on her. ] Eyes up here, mate, don't look down, you'll get fouled up lookin' at your feet.

[his head snapped back up to look at her, taking his eyes off his feet]

I'm sorry to hear. That's not fair at all for you to be that far.

[keptbiting]

[ she shrugs, uncomfortable, and tries to brush it off. ] I'm sure I'll get that married thing sorted soon enough.

[he could see that uncomfortable shift and nodded. As the music changed to something more familiar, his dancing improved (dance 19)]

So what is it you do here, Sir Amelia?

[keptbiting]

Nothin' yet, I'm still a squire.

[byyourleave]

How long have you been a squire then? You have been here longer than myself for sure.

[keptbiting]

Uh, I got here in October? [ something something math ]

[byyourleave]

That has been awhile. What has your experience been like?
