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!]

"Is that --" Eliot slunk over, deeply impressed. "Is that an actual antique?"

"For the finer things in life? Always." Eliot stepped back a little to give the rest of Eric a once over. "Speaking of finer things."

"Would you like to take in the entire look?" Eric asked.

He knew how his ass looked in the pants, yes.

"I should say so, yes," Eliot said, doing the universal 'do a little turn for me' gesture with his fingers. "Especially with that invitation!"

Eric spun, making a small show out of it.

Eliot let out an appreciative whistle and applauded.

"I do love a man who knows how to wear a pair of leather pants."

"I have had some practice," Eric said not at all modestly. "You're doing all right for yourself too."

“Why thank you,” Eliot said, inclining his head. “I like to balance elegance and sexiness whenever possible.”

Eric grinned. "I like to add in some menace, too."

He'd spent centuries perfecting the loom, it seemed a waste not to use it.

“Menace, eh?” Eliot asked, amused. “Everyone does live a good bad boy.”

"I have been counting on that for a very long time," Eric said, smirking.

"More or less, yes," Eric said. "I'm Eric."

“Eliot.” Eliot gave him a flirtatious smile. “Welcome.”
