WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || March 12th, 2013, 6:00PM [backdated]
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.

I'm curious how far you think you've come, as a squire.

[allmydreams]

Working with a team has been interesting. It's not something I'm used to, but I think I'm handling that well. I need to be a better shot, but that will probably come with time.

[valdrin]

And what about this whole... Knightly business in the first place?

[allmydreams]

It's not where I would have pictured myself when I first got here, but I like helping people. And the mission I worked in Paris saved the lives of a lot of Shadowkind.

[Which is obviously important to her.]

[valdrin]

So you enjoy the work? See a future for yourself here?

[allmydreams]

[She nods.]

I do. I definitely don't see myself getting bored anytime soon.

[valdrin]

Well, while we're certainly concerned with keeping you entertained, that isn't quite what I meant.

[allmydreams]

No, I know.

[Explaining it again, take two.]

Most of the problems I've had before have been a lack of investment. It'll keep me entertained for a while, but eventually I'll get bored and need to do something else.

Here I'm invested. I like what I do, I like being able to help people, and not be judged for the way I do it. There are some areas where I still need a little work, but everybody's a work in progress. No one is perfect right out the gate.

[valdrin]

Even if the 'way you do it' isn't always what most people would consider the more... noble choice? [ there's something in his voice that's far from judgment. it sounds a lot more akin to understanding. ]

[allmydreams]

[She nods a bit.]

Yeah. Exactly.

[valdrin]

[ he watches her with some interest for a moment, as if trying to decide something, then turns and sets down his glass. ] We should speak somewhere more private.

[allmydreams]

[Felicity is curious, but she doesn't fight him on it. She places her glass back down on the bar before nodding.]

Lead the way.
