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.

[Helen isn't in much of a festive spirit, but she has a new squire and so she needs to make an appearance. Later in the evening, she makes her way over to him.]

Enjoying yourself so far? [Her smile is a little forced, but she does genuinely care about whether or not he's having a good time.]

Only if you promise me I don't have to wear that dreadful armor again anytime soon.

[daredtobelieve]

I'm fairly certain it's only used in that ceremony. I don't think the promotion ceremonies require it. And we certainly don't wear it for any practical use.

[does_not_sparkle]

Thank God. [he laughed and sipped his champagne] I think my day has improved greatly.

[daredtobelieve]

I'm glad to hear it. I know this whole thing will be something of an adjustment for you.

[does_not_sparkle]

To be honest, I'm not all that fond of being in leadership roles. Though I doubt I'll slay any dragons with my music.

[daredtobelieve]

It will likely be some time before anyone asks you to lead a group into the fray. But you might surprise yourself with what you're capable of.

[does_not_sparkle]

Probably. [he rubs at his nose a moment] I just want to at least still have time to record. Maybe play a few places .

[daredtobelieve]

London is only a short car ride away. I'm certain you can find plenty of venues willing to let you play. And in the meantime, there's certainly people here who would listen.

[does_not_sparkle]

Any of them happen to be in touch with recording executives? [he laughs at that]

[daredtobelieve]

It's certainly possible. The knights in the Tongue especially are well connected. If you make the right friends, you might find yourself able to network more easily than you'd think.

[does_not_sparkle]

[he blinked at that]

Seriously?

[daredtobelieve]

I'm not really the type to joke about such matters.

[does_not_sparkle]

[and that smile? That's the rare, honest one and not the performer mask]

That would be awesome.
