WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || July 1st, 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.

Holy shit- those shoes are gorgeous. [Jade might be staring. Hell, she's practically drooling.]

If you're a 7, I'm totally raiding your closet before the next party.

[ghostmagnet]

Oh. [ And she's just gonna look down before looking back up because gorgeous shoes comes with a shoe obsession. Sometimes it's hard to remember which gorgeous pair she'd gone with considering how overwhelming... well, everything was right now. ] Yeah, they're pretty great.

And I am, so sure. Shoes are the one indulgence I allow myself.

[inacup]

If you can only have one? That's the one to go with. And if every party is as swanky as this? You'll get a lot of excuses to show them off.

[she sounds practically giddy. Girl loves shoes.]

Want to stick together as fellow newbies for a bit and check out just what we got ourselves into?

[ghostmagnet]

Seems like it might be the only time to do that. Wearing them out will probably be more of a hindrance than a help. [ Yes, she could run in stilettos, but that didn't mean she wanted to.

She gives a quick nod at the offer, grateful to have someone to wander around with rather than imitating a wallflower on her own. ] That'd be great, thanks. Where should we start?

[inacup]

I say we take a lap, get a feel for the room. [Check out some guys maybe. I mean, what?]

I'm Jade, by the way.

[ghostmagnet]

Cassie and I like the way you think. [ 100% here to assist in the appreciation walk. Besides, how else can she show off her killer shoes if they aren't on the move? Pushing away from the table, she lightly brushes a hand over her skirt before moving out to join her new friend. ]

Shall we?

[inacup]

[Jade nods and starts to lead them around, taking a peek around the room as they go.]

So how'd they reel you in? For this whole Knight thing.
