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!]

"How about your name?" Lucifer asked. "I'm Lucifer Morningstar, by the way. I host at the Devil's Nest on Tuesdays and Fridays."

Oh look, someone just as uncomfortable looking as he was.

"Hey, Amaya" Dwight said as he walked over. "Good to see you. Looks like you've been busy" he said with an appreciative nod at the mask.

"I need this one," Stark said hesitantly. "Or I... leak." He could be a festive light source very briefly but not if he wanted to stay and actually enjoy the party.

"But if there's something to go with it that could work. I could try that."

"They're just the right amount of over-the-top," said the woman in head-to-toe pink. "And is that Jenga? I haven't played in years."

Okay, the Destroyer had a nice ring to it, and Annie couldn't help thinking that Queen Maeve could rock an honorific like that. (Annie, meanwhile, was probably more of a 'Starlight the Way Too Nice.')

"The finger thing is cool," she told Margo, holding her arms out at her sides a little and looking down at herself in curiosity. "Eliot showed me some magic yesterday."

It kind of looked like it would produce cool shadow puppets?

"I know all about that," Seivarden said, now quite honest. "There are worse ways to deal with it than throwing a party."

"I like that logic," Wanda said with a nod. "I'm going to use it. Thank you for throwing this party, by the way. It's nice for the opportunity to meet people when you're not stuck in a giant hole with them."

It had been a tough choice for Shunsui, who felt it might be a little bold of him to shirk his signature haori (and, if he was honest, it was a little bit painful to actually leave it behind), but....it felt like the right occasion to mix it up a little, and if you have the fanart.... Margo-chan struck him as the type of person who would enjoy a particularly dramatic change of scenery.

So while he still wore his Shinigami robes and his swords and his sake jug, his blue sash had been switched out with a pink one, his pink haori swapped for one of an autumnal vibe, with a half mask to bring out the blue in the haori.

And of course Shunsui was here to flit around like the autumnal butterfly he was today to mingle and socialize and, although he was sure everyone was being quite well attended to with their drinks, always have some nice sake on hand as a pallete cleanser should anyone be interested.

What a waste of pizza!

"This place is definitely less sad than my apartment," Buck said. "I should really get a plant or something."

Ahhhh, zards. Fancy dress and magic and now royalty, too?

She should have just stayed in her workshop, she'd never done well with the whole royalty thing, and now she wasn't sur eif she was expected to shake that offered hand or kiss it.

But, since she never really did care for that last thing, Margo was definitely getting a very firm and confident handshake after all.

"Well," she said, "pleased to meet you, Your Highness. Amaya Blackstone the....Blacksmith. So I suppose if you're planning on destroying anything tonight, maybe there's a good chance I can see about what can be done to fix it..."

"Thank you," Lucille replied, stepping aside.

Did they have a piano by any chance?

"At least it is not a Halloween party."

"You clean up pretty sharp, Amaya," Irene greeted her. And while that uncomfortableness was kind of palpable, Irene also found it kind of adorable. The dress was also kind of adorable, though it just also sort of made Irene want tp take her shopping.
