WHEN || October 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.

[She has no idea who it he's referring to when he says he owes someone an apology, but she can tell that something in this conversation has brought up some good, which is all she can ever ask for.]

Maybe you're not the only one who brings out things in people.

[There's a bit of amusement there because...she already knew that about herself.]

Can I ask a favor? The life that I've lead has caused people to seemingly disappear in a flash, one moment there and the next gone. Not truly, of course. But time begins to blur, as I'm sure you understand. So what I'm hoping is that when you do leave-- and I do understand that it will happen at some point- I'd like the chance to say goodbye. I've lost too many friends without the chance, you see. I would hate to have to add you to the list.

[Des stares at her for a moment, probably running through his track record of promises made and broken and wondering if he really needs to add to that list, but this one's simple enough.]

I think I can manage that. [he holds out a hand so they can shake on it.] You'll see me before I go. Promise.

[daredtobelieve]

[She takes his hand, but instead of shaking it, uses it to pull him closer so that she can place a brief kiss to his cheek.]

I'll hold you to it.

[nothingsodivine]

[He squeezes her hand as he pulls away, still smiling warmly.] Enjoy the rest of the party, Peaches.
