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.

[Andrew's not great at these parties. But he does his best to at least make an appearance. He runs into her refreshments table, realizing that he's blocking her trying to get to some little finger foods. That's what he gets for being a 6'4 block of nerd flesh.]

Oh- sorry. Were you wanting-? Here, I'll just... [He gives a sheepish smile and shuffles out of the way.]

[At 5'3'', she's pretty much mini-sized compared to him. She's tiny. It happens. With a brief smile, she pops some of the little foods into her mouth, and a small shrug of her shoulders.] If I were in any rush, I could have gotten through. [She says it like she's teasing -- and she mostly is -- but she also knows that tossing people halfway across the room generally isn't how you make friends.] Sometimes I think parties are for standing around awkwardly, anyway.

That's pretty much what I do 99% of the time when I come. [He snorts a laugh.] The other 1% is when someone actually gives a shit about what I'm working on.
