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.

Ah, see I'm the least impressive person on the planet, so I figure I might as well show 'em what they're going to get considering they'll figure out I'm a spazz ten seconds into a conversation with me anyway.

[She smiles a little, like it's not a big deal to her. It's not. She accepts her social skills could perpetually use a little work, but considering her formative years were spent in a Roman legion... they could be much worse.]

I'm Vi, by the way. Violet, I guess, if you're feeling extra formal.

Forever late

[quarrelsomecat]

I still think it is a point in your favor, not pretending to be someone you aren't.

[He smiles at that, though it isn't quite a genuine smile, he is trying to be sociable, at least.]

I'm Tybalt. nd it is nice to meet you, Vi.

[graveflowers]

[A for effort, Violet at least appreciates that.]

Nice to meet you, too.

[quarrelsomecat]

[Oh. Well. He's really not used to anyone ever saying that about him. Forgive him for his moment of awkward silence.]

Thank you.

So... what made you want to join the knights?

[graveflowers]

I was a Centurion in the Roman Legion-- [And she sure does say that like its the most common.] --so the Knights seemed like the most natural thing really.

[quarrelsomecat]

Sounds impressive. A fighter, then?

[Now Tybalt finds himself on a subject he can talk about. He grins at her when he asks, looking suddenly much more interested in the conversation.]

We should have a sparring match, sometime.

[graveflowers]

Yeah? [Violet perks up a bit. If only because she is not often the person picked to spar with since she is so tiny and so many people are afraid of breaking her. Which, to be fair, isn't incredibly hard, but it's still nice to find someone who is willing to give it a shot.]

That would be great.
