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.

It does seem that we're passing through something of a dark time recently, yes. But I imagine it's not the first the Knights have seen, and they've come through those in the past as well.

[anthophobia]

I bet not everyone did.

[Just saying.]

They sure could use some good news, though. [She looks out at the crowd, her voice softening ever so slightly.] Everyone looks happy enough because it's a party and they're supposed to be, but there's no way it's that simple. Not right now.

[diplomatics]

They're trying to forget, at least for a moment.

[anthophobia]

Unless they're dealing with it too, that's only going to make it worse.

[She looks away, shrugging her shoulders.]

It's none of my business, though.

[diplomatics]

I suppose not. I'll leave you to it, then.

[anthophobia]

Yeah. See you around.

[And then she'll just...wander away awkwardly. Socializing like this is hard.]
