WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || August 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.

Not that I know of. He just has a good sense about people, sees their potential. He's been doing this for a very long time bothered something to be said for experience.

[Allison completely understands what Helen is saying, because thankfully autocorrect doesn't happen when people talk.]

It definitely sounds like it. Do you have a squire?

[daredtobelieve]

I do. First I've had in some time. Lydia Martin. She's around your age, actually.

[risked]

[Allison doesn't hide the smile that reaches her features.]

Lydia's my best friend.

[daredtobelieve]

Is she? [Helen seems to perk at that.] Brilliant girl.

[risked]

She is. [She pauses to clarify.] -- brilliant and my best friend.

[daredtobelieve]

Well, I'm glad you two will have each other here. It can be quite an adjustment. A friendly face does wonders to help with that.

[risked]

I'm glad I have her here too. It felt selfish at first, but I think I'm over that feeling.

[daredtobelieve]

I'm glad to hear it. It's not as if you had any control over it. And finding comfort in a friend is never something to be ashamed of.

[risked]

It's just nice to have something feel... normal in the middle of everything.

[daredtobelieve]

I couldn't agree more. If there's anything I can do to help with your adjustment here, please don't hesitate to ask.

[risked]

Thank you, Helen. I will.
