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.

[ those words seem to mean a lot to her, actually ] ... And if it did... feel wrong, that is.

What would you do?

[grumpypuppy]

I don't know. Depends on what they're trying to tell me. I'd probably listen closer to them, though. See if I can tell where the lie is.

[untethered]

I suppose there's something to that.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to project my troubles onto you.

[grumpypuppy]

No, it's okay. Sometimes it helps to have someone to talk to that can understand. I'm not really that good at talking so it helps the practice.

[she gets a small smile from him, trying to put her at ease]

[untethered]

Well, I do appreciate it.

[grumpypuppy]

[he nods, his smile not dropping away fully, but he has a face that doesn't hold one for long]

I'll be around for awhile now. So find me if you want to talk about it again.

[untethered]

I'll be sure to do that.

[grumpypuppy]

It was nice meeting you... I don't think I ever got your name?

[untethered]

It's Belle. Belle Desrosiers.

[grumpypuppy]

Pleasure to meet you, Belle.

[untethered]

You too, Derek.

[grumpypuppy]

See you again soon. [and with that, he will take his leave] [/scene]
