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!]

"Slowly," said Summer, grinning into the nudge a little and risking potentially having her hands sliced off with an axe or something later that evening by giving him a nudge back, "but steady. Sometimes, that can be a good thing. We've got a rare opportunity to start building up some defenses before things really start getting wild. That's really the main reason I was even able to stop by for this whole thing, honestly."

Pfft. Please, the worst Rosa would do was threaten the axe. Probably.

"Calm before the storm, huh. Hey, you know you can always call in the cavalry, right? I'm sure there's plenty of us here who'd help, plus that's kind of what my team does, if you only want professionals."
