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, hopefully it won't be quite as rare now that Margo and I are here. We have quite a reputation for our magical extravaganzas."

"If this," said Tisarwat, with a an appreciately look around the room and a gesture of a gloved hand to accompany the assessment, "is any indication of what we can expect, it's really not a surprise why. It's...very impressive. Reminds me of some of the receptions they hold in the Handwavey Because My Canon Doesn't Believe in Elaborate Detailed Worldbuilding, La System."

Granted, Tisarwat had never actually been to that system before, but she still had plenty of memories of it.

“Oh? A pleasant reminder, I hope. I’m afraid I’m not familiar with that system.”

"It's easily one of the nicer systems in the Radch," Tisarwat assured him with an easy smile. "That is where I'm from, which is....outer space, basically, in another dimension, probably far, far away from this on."

Eliot nodded, now quite blase about people saying they came from space.

"I'm the High King of a magical realm somewhere on the other side of . . . some great universal divide or another. Fandom takes all sorts, doesn't it."
