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!]

"I've managed to keep a plant or two alive in my day." Little did he know they were watered by whomever he was dating at the time or Eddie. "But you're right; something that doesn't require water or sunlight would be more my speed."

"I definitely won't be able to compete with this though." Which Margo probably already knew.

"Fireman? Does that count?" he asked. "I like it, anyway."

Buck laughed. "Yes, I guess I am. Travis is a good looking guy, isn't he?"

Buck nodded, able to appreciate that approach. "What do you do here? Other than throw parties, I mean."

"That's very open-minded of you." Buck didn't know any better! "Well I'm glad I have the chance to be at one of your parties before you find your way home."
