WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
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.

[ In joining the knights Matt has learned at least a bit about them, but probably not as much as he should. That'll be why he's got a blank expression on his face. ]

Yeah that means fuck all to me mate.

[generaldavideus]

[ ... Right.]

Dragon's Hide is for punching things. Dragon's Tongue is when you want to be more diplomatic.

[byrned]

Yeah well I've sworn off the punching things.

[ He probably shouldn't have said that, and he shifts a little, as though he's said too much, quick to change the subject and move on. ]

So you glad for a night off then?

[generaldavideus]

[David lets it go with a nod. It's not for everyone, and he respects that.]

Yeah. It's always good to have a break from things.

[byrned]

Yeah that's one way of putting it.

[ After all, the reason he left London in the first place was the fact he put his best mate in hospital. No wonder he's sworn off punching. He wants to be a lover not a fighter. ]

[generaldavideus]

I'm not sure how much of a break this will give you, but at least it's change. Change can be good sometimes.

[byrned]

You sound like me ma. She always used to say that. Change is good as a rest and all that. S'pose she was right. And hey, this is definitely a change.

[generaldavideus]

[He nods a bit in agreement.]

Hopefully it'll be good for you too.

[byrned]

Yeah, well here's hoping, right?

[ He claps him lightly on the back. ] Hey man I'll let you get your mingle on. Nice catching up with you.

[generaldavideus]

[He nods in agreement.]

Yeah, you too.

[And with that he will ... go off to lurk in a corner. What, that's his version of mingling. /scene]
