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.

I've not seen anyone else who looks like you, at the very least, but that doesn't mean you're alone.

[Perhaps there are no others who are exactly like her, but:]

We do all have one thing in common. In this world, we're all Shadowkind, whether or not we resemble one another.

[nojedi]

Great. That's reassuring. Lumping groups of very different people together like that never ends poorly.

[She laughs just a little, and it's mostly genuine.]

The people of this world certainly aren't right in doing so, but we are all far from home. Seems like reason enough to consider each other friends, help one another if we can.

[She has no idea what a Hufflepuff is, but she sure as hell is one.]

[nojedi]

Be nice if everyone saw it that way. [Ahsoka's not sure if she sees it that way or not. She might be far from home, but her home seems to be very, very different than anyone else's here.]

[twistingveil]

It may be impossible to convince everyone to think of things that way, but most within the Knights seem to. That's a start, isn't it?

[It's better than nothing. It means they're in the best place they possibly can be, their situation being what it is.]
