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!]

Hannibal hummed in thought. "And that gives us plenty of time to plan, even if I need to ship in some ingredients. We'll need to start with a theme, of course. And I should warn you that around here, fireworks are often a bad idea. Too many veterans. Also circuses and carnivals, sharks, and large fish in general."

Fandom generated some unique PTSD.

"Every now and again somebody attempts that," Hannibal noted. "It's difficult to keep up with." He shrugged. "So long as we avoid gunpowder and a circus or aquatic theme, we should be fine." He smiled. "Although Sidon would no doubt adore the latter."
