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!]

Dwight noticed the pat. At least he was pretty sure he did. Maybe he had imagined it? Damnit why did he have to be such an awkward idiot when it came to these kinds of things?

"Well, if nothing else, gave me an excuse to finally break down and buy a new suit" Dwight said with a slight chuckle. "Though now I will have to find some other reasons to wear it more often."

"Oh, I'm sure we can come up with something," Eliot said. He swanned over to the bar, plucked a bottle and a glass from it, and returned, pouring as he went. "Here we are. A fine Barbera, to suit the theme."

Dwight gave a nod as he took the glass.

"So, you and Margo settling in alright? Heard you got a job at the Magic Box I believe it was? If you ever need anything or just want to kill time, you can always swing by the shop- door's usually open" Dwight added with a grin.

"We are, thank you," Eliot said. "As you can see, we've got our house into shape, though if anything breaks beyond our ability to magically patch over, I'm sure we'll give you a call."

"Ah yeah, pretty sure you could do a better job with the magic than I could with even the best tools" Dwight said with a nod.

"You never know," Eliot said. "Even magic has its limits."
