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!]

"Why, thank you!" said Sidon, beaming down (and down. and down) at Margo with a pleased, proud grin. "I must say, yours is quite spectacular as well! Although I'm afraid that, despite the artisan's best efforts, I don't believe such a mask, as exquisite as it may be, will do much to help me blend in with the crowd!"

The grin brightened with the sheer glee that could come from telling such a clearly wonderful joke.

"I am Sidon, by the way!" he added, far too eager to get to an introduction when one could be had, as he was quite certain he had not met this lovely young woman before. "The Zora Prince! Am I to assume you are one of the hosts of this magnificent soiree?"

"Ah, marvelous!" Sidon gushed, after offering a small bow of his head and shoulders in reverence to the title, one royal to another. "It is so excellent to meet you, Margo! And I have met your best friend and High King Eliot! I'm sure it is a wonderful a place as he is! Have you two been friends for long?"

"Even if it's just the smallest blip in time," said Sidon, with a sort of fond rememberance of such deep connections of his own, "the merest blink of an eye, there are certain some people who have and will be with us until the very end of time, and we can only be grateful for the fact that we've managed to somehow find each other through it all."

"Then I am very glad," said Sidon, the sincerity practically coming off of him in waves, "the two of you have each other! And that you can come together and invite us all to this stupendous party!"
