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 none of you are 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.

That's where faith plays into it.

[notafraidofthedark]

[He snorts, looking out across the dance floor once again.] Faith's not something I put much stock in. It never got me anywhere before in my life.

[layonhands]

[ She fixes him with a long look ] It got you here.

[lightblindbadass]

[He looks back to her, his face set in stoic lines.] And here I've been told that was something called the Veil.

[layonhands]

[ She gives a knowing little smile ] And who do you think controls the Veil?

[lightblindbadass]

[This line of questioning sure is uncomfortable for Riddick, so he will just try to shoot down her belief with his own skepticism.]

How can you be sure that the Veil is controlled, especially when everyone's been telling me that what it does is completely random. It's probably no more than some spatial anomaly mistaken by people as the work of some higher power. Really it has nothing to do with gods and everything to do with the universe being just a bunch of random happenstance.

[layonhands]

That's one way to look at it. [ Her tone is accepting, not argumentative. ] But not the only way.
