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.

her own smile looks just as forced, wavering, perhaps with her tears, as she meets his gaze uncertainly. ] Ex... exactly. It will be... better for all of us. [ the smile starts to fail, and her eyes zag across his face with sudden despair, but she cuts it off by pulling him into an insistent, desperate kiss.

there's something off about it, however. something not entirely honest, that she's not particularly good at hiding. whatever she's upset about, this seems to only be the tip of the iceberg, and the shaking in her hands still feels a great deal like fear. ]

[He seems to be too keenly aware of everything and maybe it's because this is the second time he's kissed her and felt all that uncertainty. He wants to know everything, but that can wait for another day- it's already too much to deal with.

He kisses her desperately in return, trying to banish all that fear from her and from himself. There's nothing to worry about. It's one man- one insignificant man.

A man that Gold isn't going to let ruin the life he's trying to build.]
