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.

“I’d say he was, but that would imply that I’m the dad.” Travis was very dad-like, but refused to admit it. “There’s only the two of us right now. And my pit bull, Probie.”

“Not yet, but I bet she’d like it. She has her own uniform.”

“At least that’d be something to do.” Travis shook his head. “Last actual fire business we got was when every alarm on the island went off at once. People were . . . very cranky.”

As was Travis, let’s be real.

“The latter. I’m not actually in the habit of making grown ass adults do drills. Unless they work with me.”

This was, oddly enough from Travis’s perspective, one of the major things that had gotten him glared at for saying that night.
