MASQUERADE PARTY, 33 Apocalypse Ave, Friday Evening

[not_a_goddamn_princess]

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!]

"Sometimes," Tisarwat found herself to relieved to find someone other than Seivarden she could admit this to to bother with holding it back in a more subtle way, "I wonder if we're even remotely close to the edge of civilization here..."

She shook her head a moment, and then considered Margo a little more closely behind her mask with those very bright lilac eyes. "So where are you from? It's always nice to meet someone who can at least understand what it might be like for those of use who are from more...sophisticated regions of the multiverse."

“That depends on what you mean with that question,” Margo said idly, like she wasn’t keeping close track of Tisarwat’s responses here. “I was born in LA. I moved to New York, where I learned about magic and the multiverse and all that fancy, sophisticated shit most people don’t know anything about. Then I wound up Queen to a magical kingdom full of backwards idiots covered in mud right before I came here. So. . . all over.”

Considering there were times when certain parts of Tisarwat's brain regarded this entire planet as backwards idiots covered in mud, eseentially, that part caught her attention a little more than the rest, but what she would up asking was, "How do you feel being here compares to being Queen of that kingdom?"
