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.

Good. Be weird without you there. [Even if she's a relatively new addition to the group.] That mean one of us is your knight?

[oftheband]

Ale from the Old World, friend. Yet to see this here Earth produce anything like it.

[witchwoman]

[She smiles softly.]

I understand- and yes, when it comes to my friends, my family, I am happy to take on the hurt of others for that greater good. There were other before who were not so grateful for that aspect of my gifts. They only sought to exploit it.

We are lucky to have the family we do.

[notaroundme]

{She nods.] I'm squired to Myri. [And she couldn't be more pleased.]

[notaroundme]

[Her expression is serious, and she understands where Myri's talents could be abused. The thought makes her uncomfortable.]

We really are.

[witchwoman]

[Myri pushes forward and hugs Elena again without warning.]

Tonight is about celebration. We should start celebrating. [She looks towards the refreshments.]

Drinks?

[notaroundme]

[Yay all the hugs!

Her smile is bright again when the hug ends. Following Myri's gaze, she nods.]

Drinks!

[bigbad]

You are? [He grins.] That's brilliant. She'll be good at it. [He'll have to congratulate her later.]

[bigbad]

...so how'd it show up here? [Do vats of beer just fall through the veil sometimes?]

[oftheband]

You think the Veil only sends people and beasts through?

[bigbad]

....does it take orders? Cause I might have an old favorite not found in this world.

[Of course, he doesn't actually REMEMBER what he ate/drank out of this world but. Shh.]

[notaroundme]

I thinks she's a little nervous, but she'll be perfect.

[oftheband]

The Veil responds to no man's pleas. You'd be better off praying to the gods.

[bigbad]

Not really one for gods. They don't usually help unholy creatures of the night.

[oftheband]

[ the man's expression becomes less friendly instantly, a hardness working into his features as he regards spike, obviously on the alert now ] Well now. Isn't that an interesting thing.

[bigbad]

[w h o o p s that happens a lot with Spike.]

Out of curiosity, would you be more or less angry and mistrustful if I hadn't said anything and instead made friends with you and told you later?

[oftheband]

Wasn't under the impression creatures of the night much cared for friends at all.

[bigbad]

I can't speak for every vampire out there, but I care for 'em.

[oftheband]

So how did it happen?

[bigbad]

How did what?

[oftheband]

You become a creature of the night?

[bigbad]

Maybe I was born that way.

[That's... not how vampires work.]

[oftheband]

[ maybe it's maybelline ] I've not heard of such a thing.

[bigbad]

Are you some vampire expert? [...no, seriously, are you? Cause Spike's got some questions about his penis...]

[oftheband]

I've fought some in my day.
