WHO || Wynn, any and all Knights not currently on missions (if you are uncertain if your character would be at the castle for this, ask!)

WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || January 22, 2016, 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 in agreement.]

Plus, you'll probably have more experience with a lot of the people here, so it'll be less of a flood of new people.

[newgenwraith]

I don't mind new people so much. But the large amount of strangers... yes, next time will be easier, you're right.

[bredinthebone]

[She nods in agreement.]

I remember my first squiring party - I had no idea what I was getting into at first. After a while, it kind of becomes old hat.

[newgenwraith]

There any people who try to liven the party up when it becomes like too boring to the long term people?

[bredinthebone]

Occasionally they try to sneak in and switch things up. We had one Chinese New Year style once.

[newgenwraith]

I don't know what that is - but that's a common thing for me so you don't have to explain if it's too long and boring.

[bredinthebone]

It is long and kind of boring, and I don't even have all the information, really. I just know that the decorations are a lot of reds and gold.

[newgenwraith]

Those are nice colors - I might have liked that.

[bredinthebone]

Maybe they'll do it again, sometimes. It should be coming up again in February.

[newgenwraith]

I'll be looking forward to it then. [grins]

[bredinthebone]

Good.

[She smiles in return before holding up her empty glass.]

I'm going to go get a refill. Can I get you anything?

[newgenwraith]

No, I'm good. I should actually continue and meet people as it is.

[bredinthebone]

[She nods in agreement as she steps back.]

I'll see you later then.

[And off she goes. /scene]
