WHEN || June 1st, 2014, 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.

[Dimitri doesn't often mingle much at these social gatherings, given that he's something of a lone wolf/wallflower type, but he's making a very important exception today.

She's his first squire, after all.

He approaches her quietly, a barely touched drink in his hand.]

Good evening.

[krasnayapautina]

Same to you. [She offers him a smile.]

[A beat.] Scared somebody spiked your drink with something? [She asks with a slightly raised eyebrow. Because if he is, don't look at her, she did nothing -- she's really not aiming for a Worst Squire Of The Month award ... well, not intentionally anyway. She might be terrible, but it wouldn't be that kind of terrible and it would be on accident. So. There's that.

As she takes another sip of her drink.]

[likeagod]

No, just not much of a drinker the vast majority of the time.

[There's nothing wrong with being too careful, in his opinion. Nowhere was safe 100 percent of the time.]

I am Dimitri Belikov. I'll be your mentor during your squiring period.

[It's also clear that he's...pretty Russian, even if only through the light accent on his English.]
