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!]

"Well, black and gold is a classic combination for a reason," Eliot said, echoing her narrative. "I do weep for men afraid of color, though."

Eliot, you were wearing an all black outfit yourself. Aside from the glittering and color-shifting mask, anyway.

"I'm carefully weaning him onto the stuff," Annie confided, teasing. "He wore blue not too long ago. It was amazing progress."

And yeah, that mask was eye-catching even if the rest of Eliot's outfit looked like something Diego would wear, and it prompted Annie to twirl her skirt a little for Eliot's benefit. "Margo sparkled me up a little bit, and I loooove it."

"Of course! I'd recognize her spellwork anywhere. Only a pity it will wear off eventually, it suits you to a T!"
