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!]

“We’ve had a few encounters with a cult trying to bring Rasputin back,” Liz explained, “Professor Bruttenholm encountered him in 1944, it was our worlds first encounter with a demon dimension and where one of my former team members comes from, Rasputin’s goal was to bring about a demon apocalypse so far we’ve been able to stop that happening,”

"I...right. I'm sorry, Rasputin and demons sounds a bit Hollywood to me." Jon, stop being a dick! And when did his internal monitor start sounding like Martin? "Though I...I'm sure 'eldritch fear entities' probably sounds just as bad to you, so."

He grasped for something polite to relate to.

"Why does everybody want to start an apocalypse?"

“It does seem to be a common trend doesn’t it?” she paused after a bit as she considered, “I’ve never actually thought about why someone wants to start an apocalypse,”

"For immortality and power," Jon snarled, then he took a deep breath. "That was why my boss did, anyway. He wanted to live forever and rule everything. And he was a complete and utter arsehole."

“Oh that… Uh…,” Liz really didn’t know how to respond to something like that, “I’m sorry,” she finally said because it seemed like the only thing she could say.

"No, I'm...I'm sorry," Jon said. "The apocalypse is a...a bit of a sore spot, I suppose you could say," he added wryly. "But yes, so that's why. At least for one person. My question was, um. Purely rhetorical, really."
