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.

[It's not quite as bad as all of that.]

Let's not get to tied up in the bad, okay? We still found each other again. That's worth celebrating.

[uncurse]

Yeah.

[ Emma admits, drumming up a swelling smile that pulls on every reservoir of hope she's got. ]

It definitely is. [ She nods towards the bar. ] Come on. You need to catch me up on what you do remember, from this side of the Veil.

[unlost]

[She smiles and gives her a nod, heading in that direction.]

And you can tell me what I've missed since you got here.

[She gives her a long, happy look.]

My daughter, a knight. [A beat.] I'm so proud of you.

[uncurse]

I did it to find you.

[ Said as if that should be obvious. ]

You and David both. When I first got to this world, I was back in Maine, but not … Storybrooke wasn't there anymore. But you came with me through that portal: I knew you had to be here somewhere. When I met Max, I knew the Knights were my best chance to find you.

[unlost]

And you found us.

[As if there were any other outcome.]

Nothing could ever keep us apart for very long.

[And nothing would keep them from her father forever, either.]

[uncurse]

It's been nearly two years since I last saw you. A year since David. What's your definition of very long?

[unlost]

Well, I didn't get to watch you grow up, right?

Two years is nothing compared to that.
