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.

Apple, eh? So you went off with Hook on his little jaunt.

Yup. ...how'd you know that.

He's my squire. We had a chat about what he's been up to. Didn't know you went along though.

Well, I'm only important when he wants to get in Emma's pants so color me completely unsurprised.

He can be a tad single minded but I can't say I'm not guilty of it myself. ]Not that Lila needs to be told that] He only really mentioned that fellow Gold and some curse.

[ note to self: pirates only care about the d. their d. ] Well, you didn't fuck my best friend in Emma's bed, so you're less guilty of being a douche. [ FACTS. ]

[Eyebrows go UP.]

That I didn't. That little story only gets more and more tangled, though. So you're friends with the girl Hook bedded.

[This is the dramatic gossip he thrives on okay.]

Oh, hey hey, don't phrase it like that, it implies Hook gets all the credit. [ she only phrased it like that because she was insulting him. ] Though, to be fair, she said he wasn't very good.

[ yep, very fair. ] Not worth a repeat. So maybe he should get the credit, to protect his delicate manly ego.

Try not to say that too loud near him, would you? That man's taken quite a few blows to his pride as it is.

[But he... may be laughing a little.]

Calling it 'delicate' may crumble him.

...is that supposed to dissuade me? [ don't you know she lives for making grown men cry? ]

Suppose I forgot who I was dealing with. [He can't help the fondness in his tone. Despite not really understanding Lila, he enjoys her.]

It is not my job to make grown men feel better about themselves. [ sage nod. it is known. AND YET. what does she do with thoster...? oh right, just that. ]

Ah, but you're quite good at it, aren't you? [Whatever. He will own his part in their weird friendship.]

Part of my charm, probably.

A small part, perhaps.

Yeah, but mostly because I can't stand most people.

Begs the question why you keep coming to these things. Unless you're warming up to us?

The bar. I come for the bar. [ and the pretty clothes. ]

Doesn't explain why you stay. [He may be teasing her a little now.]

More alcohol? [ ...duh. ]

There's another bar, lass. I've seen it.

Drinking at a party is socially acceptable. Drinking alone in a bar while everyone else is at a party is just pathetic.

Well- if it's company you want and less of the rest, I could always join you.

[He's just offering. Look at him trying to be accommodating to your comfort.]

Why are you so nice to me? [ it's not accusatory, she's just curious. ]

Haven't found a reason not to be.
