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!]

"The children here rarely cause difficulties on trips," Hannibal said. "Or at least those who have tried, to my knowledge, have long since graduated. I'm certain there will be more at some point. Have you given teaching yourself any thought?"

"Had thought about it in passing. Had an idea for a class that might be good. Though I admit I honestly am not sure if I am teaching material. But it does interest me."

"Never worry about that," Hannibal said. "You couldn't possibly be less teacher-like than some of the past faculty. If it's something that interests you, you should do it."

Dwight gave a thoughtful nod as a grin spread across his face. "Alright, I will look into it. I will send any disgruntled students your way with complaints" he said with a smirk.

Hannibal chuckled. "I'll only feed them, listen to their complaints, offer some advice, and send them home."

Dwight nodded and lifted his glass with a grin.

"May end up coming to you for advice. But I think I may go for it."

Hannibal toasted back. "Good for you. And I will be there should you need it."
