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.

"He always gets a bit riled up when I wear suits."

Because Duke chose the ugliest suits he could find just to get a rise out of him.

“Thank you,” Duke said with a smile. “‘Eccentric.’ I like it. Lucifer just tends to have pretty particular tastes.”
betterthanaplan: (sure thing)

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

“Right?” Duke gave her a sympathetic smile. “You get used to it. Or, uh, run away screaming, I guess.”
betterthanaplan: (let me think)

“Well damn.” Maybe literally! “How’d they manage that?”

Duke glanced over at Eliot. “The dude in a turtleneck, huh?” He shrugged. “Maybe later.”

He was here to tease Lucifer more than he was here to schmooze.
