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.

Spot as many constellations as you can in silence sounds a lot more fun than solitaire. [100% serious.] How long were you a pilot?

[newgenwraith]

Well, I can't really remember, but it feels like all my life. Like I have some pictures in my head about being in a ship when I was a little kid in someone else's lap.

[She smiles softly.] Oh, so you came through the veil as well, then, I assume? [So had she. Which ... is obvious from the way she words that question.]

[newgenwraith]

Yeah, pretty much. Not a fun experience.

[divaricate]

No? [She raises an eyebrow. She'd been out on a Starbucks and lunch run when he made his grand entry, so she missed the fun.] My trip over was not particularly awful -- surprising, sure, but at least I found myself in a country that reminded me of my own. That may have made it easier.

This is a whole new planet for me. Everything is different but so far people are nice and that's helped a lot in adjusting.
