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.

Derek's brow furrows for a moment like he's considering this seriously. After a pause, he decides: "I don't think I know how to ride." Or if he ever did, he's forgotten (it's enough to drive him crazy, knowing what skills and knowledge he has but not remembering what he doesn't.)

But after a moment his expression lightens. "Or use a lance." He's more a teeth and claws kinda guy. "But you have to admit, the whole concept is a little old-fashioned."

"Ah-ah." She holds up a finger to her lips before shaking her head. "I wouldn't get too judgy about that around here. There's a guy who's probably twice your size who likes to swing around a pretty nice broadsword. People work with what their best at."

Personally Felicity doesn't really care. Having options at your disposal makes you a better fighter, and while she's best with a gun, she's letting Aedan teach her other weapons for a reason. Sometimes you don't have your best weapon on you. Sometimes you need to improvise.
