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!]

What? Drama? Shunsui? Perish the thought.

But one thing Shunsui absolutely appreciated himself, out of a great many other things he was appreciating right now, was tone, and all the little nuances that could be done with it, so much so that he was infusing an awful lot of his own tones in the deep little thoughtful rumble of a hum that preceeded his response as he grinned down at her.


"Mmmm ♥," he hummed...almost purred really, and here he was, barely even through the door! "The pleasure is all mine, Margo-chan, I assure you ♥. That's a bold move, though, having quite clearly the best part of the evening right there at the front door
the best part of the party right here at the front door to greet everyone straight out the gate....it almost makes me wonder why it would be even worth it when everything else would pale in comparrison to this vision before me now ♥."


It had been a hot minute. He had some over-the-top flirting to make up for, really.

"That is very generous, Marg-chan ♥," Shunsui agreed, his own grin growing easily along with hers. "Though, in my experience," limited as it may have been thus far!, "that is hardly surprising, though that's very bad news for me. What with everyone no doubt clamouring back for such magnanimous attention, I worry I may simply be lost among the fray ♥."

And with that very subtle hand on his wrist came a very subtle reaction in kind, one that seemed to float the wrist in question closer as the rest of him settled, his head turned and tilted just that little bit closer, too.

"I could only hope," he said, "to be so lucky....Margo-chan ♥."

"Who indeed ♥?" asked Shunsi, his voice now just the deep sort of rumble intended only for the person close enough to hear it, who may as well, really, be the only person to exist i nthat moment. Party? Oh? Was there a party? How could he have possibly noticed that right now? "I don't suppose...there might be a any way for a man to...increase his odds, mmm ♥? Or are we all just destined to be helpless saves to fickle fate ♥?"

"I'm fairly certain I'd like you any way, Margo-chan ♥," Shunsui informed her, with a faint, deep chuckle and a grin not nearly so light in its intention. "Though admittedly...some ways more than others ♥."
