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!]

Hannibal hummed in thought. "And that gives us plenty of time to plan, even if I need to ship in some ingredients. We'll need to start with a theme, of course. And I should warn you that around here, fireworks are often a bad idea. Too many veterans. Also circuses and carnivals, sharks, and large fish in general."

Fandom generated some unique PTSD.

Eliot made a disgusted face. “Well, I suppose someone would be bound to.”

“Too much, and too inescapable.” Duke shook his head. “I know she’s better about that these days, but I’m guessing not so much in a totally new place with an unfamiliar language and everything.”

Lucifer made an amused noise, and--

"Oh, look," he said, nodding towards the door. "There he is, actually."

“What? You said you burn it off fast. I figured you might just chug.” Eliot grabbed a small tumbler. “Ice?”

"Every now and again somebody attempts that," Hannibal noted. "It's difficult to keep up with." He shrugged. "So long as we avoid gunpowder and a circus or aquatic theme, we should be fine." He smiled. "Although Sidon would no doubt adore the latter."

"Fair enough," Lucifer allowed. "It's more navigable outside of the really touristy days, either way. I think I may know someone with a house on the island that still owes me a favor... if he's still alive."

"Nah, just the glass," Miguel said, holding out his hand for it. "I could chug if I had to, but I'm not really into addict-chic if I can avoid it. Might as well be a little classier."

“True,” Eliot allowed. “I once knew of a man who gave himself extra fingers to be able to cast more powerfully. And he replaced his head with a bunch of moths. People will do pretty much anything.”

Duke snorted. “Nah. He’s the actual Devil. Pop culture gives him a bad rap but he’s actually very sweet.”

"Erm, all kinds of...of monsters and influenced people and cursed things. The actual Fears, they're usually sort of organised into fourteen. Though they really are interconnected, not completely independent of each other. Like...it was explained to me as like colours. Distinct, but not...not separate, if that makes sense."

"I can understand the extra fingers," Hannibal mused, "but the moths sound impractical and undesirable for any number of reasons."

Eliot turned to look.

“Oh my. And he’s defying expectations while he’s at it.”

Yes, Eliot was 100% giving your boyfriend a full, appreciative once-over.

"He's just trying to annoy me," Lucifer started, saw the look on Eliot's face, and lapsed into a silent glare.

“Suit yourself,” Eliot said, and slid his flask from his pocket. How else would he respond to that ‘addict-chic’ comment than by throwing in some addict behavior of his own?

He took a sip, and handed Miguel the glass.

“Right?” Duke gave her a sympathetic smile. “You get used to it. Or, uh, run away screaming, I guess.”

Liam considered, for a moment, mentioning that he was also the God of Distant Stars... to a colony of talking mice. And then figured maybe he'd save that for later.

"Iris's old place," he nodded. "Sticking to the lotion and bath stuff?" he asked. Yes, he knew about the unadvertised part of the business.

“It does, actually.” Of course Eliot knew color theory. In another life he’d be a full blown artiste. “So you’ve got your Eye. Which one are the photos for, again?”
