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.

As smooth as he looks, too. [ she gives a coy smile, letting her hand linger ] Rare enough in this day and age.

When a muse appears, poetry is bound to follow, even if it's been a while since the days of Homer.

[ His own smile is pleasant and gentlemanly with just the tiniest touch of flirtation. Some habits are damn hard to break.

And indeed she's not getting her hand back quite yet, since she doesn't seem to be needing it. ]

I'll have to make a note to appear more often, then. I do so love poetry. [ her smile broadens mischievously, and she leans in a bit as she finally rescinds her hand ] Dumage Moulet.

It is a passion of mine, and if it will let me enjoy your company on more occasions than this I will love it better still. [ His own smile is of about the same caliber as he lets his own hand drop back to his side. ]

Robin Goodfellow. Yes, really.

You poor sod. I imagine you've heard every potential joke already by now, so I'll spare you the humiliation.

Although I will say, I hope you're every bit the troublemaker your namesake was. [ she tosses him a wink ] If you ask me, we could use more trouble around here.

And for that you have my eternal gratitude.

[ He shakes his head with a sort of soundless little laugh. ]

I'm afraid that I'm bound to be a disappointment if I am to be held to Shakespearian standards. I'm a good boy, milady.

What a shame. [ smirk ] I suppose there's always room for growth.

I have just pledged to be several shades of honorable and already you wish to lead me astray?

How else are we supposed to prove you meant your word, if not through good old fashioned temptation?

My spirit is willing, but my flesh is weak. I fear you might make things hard for me.

[ That's what she said. ]

Sounds like a challenge I might truly enjoy.

I do believe you are flattering me, dear.

Is it working?

How could it possibly fail?

It hasn't yet.

I'm thinking you know how to pick your prey.

What can I say? People can be so easy to read.

Darling, are you cheating?

[ Just taking a stab in the dark here, and mostly joking but you never know what you might find out about people by making a well placed joke or two. ]

Please. Unlike some people, my instincts are all natural. [ a sly grin ] Just like everything else.

[ That makes him laugh. ]

That's what I figured. Well, about the everything else.

It seems your instincts aren't half bad either.

Because I know that there is no way to fake beauty like yours? You give me too much credit.

I like you. I certainly hope you stick around.

I have nowhere else to be.

A recent arrival to this world or a wandering type?
