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.

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.

[She gives him a smile.] Thank you for making this night a lot less awkward than I thought it would be.

[bancroft]

[ The music slows to a stop and he gives her one slow, elegant spin, drawing her near once more. ]

The very least I could do.

[socialgraces]

[She uses this opportune closeness to pull him in for a hug, resting the side of her face against his chest.] Thank you for everything, Thomas.

[bancroft]

My pleasure and honor, my dear. [ His words are more gentle than before, and he returns the hug, dropping a brief kiss atop her head. ]

[socialgraces]

[She closes her eyes momentarily at the kiss before pulling back.] Find me later for that second dance. [She offers him one last smile, tenderly squeezing his hand, and then lets go, making her way back through the crowd.]
