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.

Your delivery then was certainly done with more finesse than the last offer a squire had for me.

[ that's because gus is smooth like nutella bb. ] And how many offers does that make in... the past week?

[ look. bancroft is hot. this is canon. ]

Just one last month. But it was highly... enthusiastic.

You make him sound like a puppy. [ he snickers into his glass before he takes a long drink. it's not scotch, but he's just as used to ale. he doesn't mind it. ]

I'm not sure it'd be wise for any puppy to be quite so liquored up.

I have always wondered about the wisdom of an open bar.

With this lot, a little bit of social lubricant keeps the in-house murders to a minimum.

You do make a point there. [ he is actually fond of the bar's lubrication. ]

This many strong personalities in one place is bound to create friction, now and again.

[ casually watching rose deck faye, gus snorts a laugh. kids. ] I'll say.

[ thomas follows his gaze and has a casual sip ] Ah, to be young again.

Oh, come on now, you're not that old.

Just how 'not old' do you think I am?

Can't be a day over seven hundred.

Well, you have got me there. I suppose when some aasimars live to the thousands, I'm still a spry youth by any standards.

I never have asked you how old you actually are. [ which is... gus asking. ]

147 years young. [ he tosses him a wink ] So I suppose you were right, after all.

Eh, you're practically a teenager. [ and woe is gus for not tapping that. ] So what's the gossip. I've missed it all, apparently.

Luthir's getting hitched. I'd say that ranks.

[ he whistles. ] No shit? Wonder what they talk about... she must do the talking. Does she go here? [ he figures she does, because what the fuck else does he even do? ]

Violet Fiore, who rumor has it is being squired soon. And I think she does enough talking for them and any future children they might have. [ he does not make that sound like an insult. ]

He's engaged to a girl named after a flower. [ a dor able. ]

Must be an elf thing.

Must be why they're so difficult for me to bag. [ but he likes it. it's like a challenge. /is inappropriate with erryone. ]

If it helps, I think you'd make a lovely 'Dahlia'.
