WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || April 1st, 2012, 9:00PM
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.

Pleasure has never been a subject I've faltered in. I'll do my best to prove an avid student tonight.

[And to make the point, he'll bring them out to the edges of the dance floor, away from most of the crowds.]

I thought we might take a walk. Get away from the noise for awhile.

[wildmind]

Master of the artful social segueway, I see.

[bluffcheck]

With the right inspiration, I could be the master of any skill.

But if you'd prefer the party, we could always turn back.

[wildmind]

I just don't have to be a mindreader to see where you're going with this.

[bluffcheck]

Could always be more interesting if you were. [He shoots back, all the impure thoughts even more easy to read from his expression.]

No harm getting to know my colleagues a little better, hm?

[wildmind]

That depends on the colleague.

[bluffcheck]

Present company, for example?

[wildmind]

Oh, there might be harm.

[bluffcheck]

That so? I think I could brave the chance.

[wildmind]

Somehow I thought you might.

[bluffcheck]

[He'll be a little bold and step close to her- almost as close as when they were dancing.]

Yeah? Somehow I don't think you mind.

[wildmind]

[ She doesn't shy away, just smirking as her eyes spark, obviously wildly entertained ] And what gives you that impression?

[bluffcheck]

Call it a hunch. By all means, tell me if I've guessed wrong.

[wildmind]

You've guessed wrong.

[bluffcheck]

[He pulls back, his pride clearly wounded.]

And what if I don't believe that?

[wildmind]

Do you really give up that easily?

[bluffcheck]

I never give up, lass. But I have learned over the years to keep my distance in case a quick hand or a full drink is coming at my face.

[wildmind]

Lucky for you, my drink's mostly empty.

C'mon. We're going for a walk. And that's all it needs to be.

[bluffcheck]

[Well, it isn't what he had in mind, but he's not being completely shut down, so it's better than nothing.]

Going to show me the grounds? I've been looking for a suitable guide.

[wildmind]

You'll find no one better suited. C'mon, then. [ And she'll take his arm, and whisk him away~]
