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!]

"Too much of a crowd?" Lucifer asked.

“Too much, and too inescapable.” Duke shook his head. “I know she’s better about that these days, but I’m guessing not so much in a totally new place with an unfamiliar language and everything.”

"Fair enough," Lucifer allowed. "It's more navigable outside of the really touristy days, either way. I think I may know someone with a house on the island that still owes me a favor... if he's still alive."

“If not, I know a guy,” Duke said. Because of course he did.

"You need to stop having guys in places I'm supposed to have people," Lucifer sighed.

Duke laughed. “Hey, there’s nothing wrong with being well connected.”

"Yes, but you're getting to be more well-connected than I am," Lucifer said.

And had possibly stolen his mojo!! Get your own shtick, Duke!!

“I’m sure my guy’s not nearly as reliable as your favor,” Duke assured him. “We’re just two very useful men to know.”

"True," Lucifer said, settling. A little bit. Maybe.

Look, he was in a weird headspace lately.

Yeah, Duke knew. It was part of why he’d gone so over the top with his outfit for the evening, to give Lucifer something else to focus on.

“So how ‘bout this place, huh? They’ve got tiny boats!”

Lucifer would continue to be weird and insecure around him for a while, but he loved you for all of this anyway, Duke.

"They do!" Lucifer said, brightening. "It really is quite magical, isn't it?"

“Hell yeah, it is.” Duke pointed to where the tall curly-haired guy was handing out drinks. “Glowing booze!”

"So it is," Lucifer said, grinning. "Shall we go get some?"

He slid his arm around Duke's waist. Only about 33% because the curly-haired guy had been eyeing Duke up a few minutes ago.

As though Duke would stray. He was very loyal, even if he sometimes wanted a few extra people to be loyal to.

“Absolutely.” Duke slung his arm over Lucifer’s shoulder in return and kissed his cheek. “Let’s party.”

It was rather less about Duke and rather more about Lucifer feeling a bit possessive lately, at that. "Who knows, I might even get drunk for a minute or two," he said jovially, and then headed for the booze.
