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.

Well, I was sort of in a weird space after I dropped out of college. [She pulls her cigarette out from behind her ear and digs in her pocket for her lighter.] You know how it goes- girl gets fed up with parents, girl rebels against parents, girl decides... Hey, I'm gonna find something that will really piss in their fruit loops. That'll show 'em.

[She rolls her eyes, finally finding the lighter.] Met this drow kid who said his dad was a hot shot, which I thought, in all honesty, was him trying to put the moves on me, but I think, hey, why not? Turns out, the kid was right. Once he saw I had some real natural talent at forging and balancing books, he hired me on.

[She takes a long drag from her cigarette.] I like to think people just sort of stumble into situations like that. No one really goes looking for anything. Hell, I bet you can't tell me half the people here didn't fall into it.

Considering how many of us fell into this world... I suppose you're right. [Grimrot shrugs one shoulder.] But I'd been a part of an organization very much like this before I came over. The Pathfinder Society.

That sounds so much less.... flashy than "Knights of the Silver Dragon." [she pauses to blow smoke over her head.] I like it.
