WHAT || Squiring Ceremony Afterparty
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || June 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 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.

How long have you been here?

[She keeps the conversation rolling, even if it's a boring question, it's information she can use later. The more experienced knights are going to have different insight than the people who haven't been around all that long, so she wants to hear things from both sides of the table.]

Someone said earlier parties like this happen almost every month now. I dunno if I'd ever get used to things like this. It's way too formal for me.

[burnsbright]

As a squire, only about a month. I got here a few weeks before that, and just kicked around until the ceremony. If you mean how long I've been here on Earth... a few months beyond that. [Shrug.] I'm a Shadowkind.

Seems like they do. You can miss out on them if you want, or just show up for a moment, whatever. I don't think anyone will hold you accountable for them.

[harvelle]

[She lets out a relieved breath at hearing that.]

At least it gives me something steady to look forward to, right? [Wait, there's probably more that she could say here.]

Thanks for showing up for me. Or my party, anyway.

[burnsbright]

Not a problem. I had... well, just short of a screaming argument with the Knight who brought me here, when he brought me. It might be why he's not my mentor, actually. Anyway we made up, and I said if he ever gets a band here that plays faster music, I'm going to ask Wynn to dance.

[Scout grins and shakes her head.] So I have to check every time.

[harvelle]

You're gonna dance with Wynn, huh? [She can't help but laugh at the idea of it. He doesn't seem much of the dancing type.]

Good luck with that one. He's stuffy enough you might have to drag him out there.

[burnsbright]

I'll try. [She grins broadly.] I'll ask, anyway. The worst that'll happen is he gets horribly offended and says no, right? But there's no life without risk.
