MASQUERADE PARTY, 33 Apocalypse Ave, Friday Evening

Party night. The best of nights. An ornate sign on 33 Apocalypse’s door invited all to knock and make themselves known.

The space inside was bigger than it looked from the outside, stretched and displaced by magic. The wallpaper was green and textured, hinting at the English countryside. On one side of the room sat a significant bar offering food and drinks, while the other gave ample space to sit. A large Jenga tower held prominence in a corner.

It was easy to miss it, though, in favor of the little streams of water that ran across furniture and floor. Tiny glass gondolas, animated by magic, made their way back and forth across each stream. The gondolas were real, though the water itself was an illusion. It called attention to the ceiling, doubly enchanted: both to draw all cigarette smoke to itself so it wouldn’t blow in anyone’s face, but also to mimic the starry sky above Venice.

You could watch the stars twinkle, or see the occasional cloud go by. Magical fireflies added to the illusion, dancing through the air like tiny lights. If you listened closely, you could hear the sea rolling in across an invisible beach. Even the air smelled faintly of it: the sea, warm food and good wine.

Welcome to Eliot and Margo’s pad, people. They’d make damn sure you had a good time.

[ocd up, come party!]

"Eliot. A pleasure to meet you, and thank you for the invitation."

That had included everyone, but still. "So, are you on the island by choice?"

"Yeah!" Even if that really was the technical term for his powers, it did sound better than 'really really really good aim.' "I don't think it's actually accurate, but I like the sound of it!" Even if she couldn't quite pronounce it on the first try. "Are you having fun?"

For given Diego values of fun at a party. He at least seemed to be enjoying himself more than the last party they'd been to.

Dwight blinked in surprised and then smiled. "Thanks... black suits are for funerals so there was no way I was going that route for something like this." He glanced down at Irene "and now that I own it might have to find a reason to wear it more often."

"You don't come across as someone who is likely to give up," Seivarden observed. Even she could notice that.

"And in style, with a mask," Annie said with way more enthusiasm than was probably warranted, considering she herself also had a mask. "But like what about space? Are you back-back? Just visiting for the awesome party?"

If there was one thing Dwight had realized while off in Boston for the school trip, it was that simple cheap beer was not usually on tap at events like this.

"Wine would be good to start" he said with an appreciative nod. Lord know he would need something to take the edge off he if he was going to last more than an hour at a party like this.

"Seivarden Vendaai."

She wasn't going to ask where the drinks were immediately.

"So, where can I drink."

She grinned. It was a perfectly normal way to start a party after all.

"I'll beat her up if it does hurt you," Faye decided. (Lol, okay Faye.) "This is pretty cool, all the...magic stuff."

She liked the fireflies a lot. And also the maybe magical cocktails.

"I'm still pretty new," Buck replied. "You're all blank slates as far as I'm concerned. Could have totally pretended to be a whole new person and I wouldn't have known the difference."

That would definitely help!

"Mr. Morningstar." Summer couldn't really help the big stupid grin on her face, but she could at least manage to keep her little nod in check and stop herself from bouncing and shit. "It's been a while!"

It had...not been that long.

It felt like it had been.

But it had definitely not.

Diego shrugged a shoulder, which was actually a good sign from him. "It's pretty impressive. And I like seeing you all dressed up."

Okay, now? Margo was speaking more Amaya's language, and it was hard for her to not perk up at the prospect of another person around here who could appreciate the work she did. "I'll admit most of my work around here's been in axes," what between Rosa Diaz and the Devil's Nest, "but I work in all sorts of weaponry. If you get the chance, you can swing by my shop, see what I've got to offer, you'll see what I mean. I've also got a solid foundry, so if you need a quick order or a bulk order, I've got you covered there as well."

Her own look went a little speculative now, too, tilting her head at Margo. "Are you a weapons gal?"

"It's not really common where I'm from. Basically just me and one other guy," Wanda said. "So it looks weird when you have all these buff people shooting lasers and throwing punches and I'm to the side waving my arms around."

"You would, wouldn't you?"

Faye, please don't try and take on someone known as The Destroyer. It could only end badly.

"It's all beautiful," he said, looking up at the false sky again. "I like it." And he hadn't even had any maybe magical drinks yet.

"You only have to deal with it nine or so more days," Wanda promised. "Well, except for Jeff."

Oh yes, Jeff was staying.
