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. If no one else was going to get a game started, Eliot would just have to do the honors himself.

He lifted his shot in a salute, tossed it back, then gave the glass a considering look.

"Mmm," he hummed. "Water."

"Definitely not water," Seivarden said, who, after attempting to mix Eliot's signature drink herself a few times, was distracted by the light reflecting from the glass.

"Alas." Eliot picked up a second shot and tossed it back. "It was merely the water of life. Otherwise known as vodka. Well spotted."

Seivarden picked a glass, downed it, was unable to hold back her disappointment and knew it.

"Water."

"Well, you either have an excellent poker face or none at all," Eliot said. "I fully believe that that was water."

"Your enchanted absinthe doesn't improve my poker face," Seivarden said. "It's not a complaint though, your drinks are perfect."

She reached for another glass.

"Thank you!" Eliot pressed a hand to his chest, honestly touched. "I do try my best."

He was a master mixologist. Even when he didn't throw magic into his brews.

Miguel grinned. And downed a shot.

"Nope, water," he announced with a shrug."
