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!]

Liam’s suit was (like nearly everything else he owned) a simple, black, and stupidly expensive affair. And while the suit may not have had much color to it, the purple and silver mask he’d found did, at least?

Liam shook his head. “I’ve met one, but I promise I’m actually from this time- and continent.” Sure, there was a little alien DNA mixed in there, but he’d still been born on Earth, so.

“Thanks,” he grinned. “Will you be less impressed if I admit someone else actually found it for me?”

“At least I know myself well enough to know that someone else would be able to find something more interesting than if I were left to my own devices?” Liam shrugged.

Honestly, if it had been up to him he would’ve definitely just picked the first google result.

"Don't mind if I do," Liam said. "I don't think we've met, by the way. Liam Kincaid-Price. I run the Trooper Station in town."

For values of 'run' that 'blah blah there's basically no crime here blah', yes.

Liam considered, for a moment, mentioning that he was also the God of Distant Stars... to a colony of talking mice. And then figured maybe he'd save that for later.

"Iris's old place," he nodded. "Sticking to the lotion and bath stuff?" he asked. Yes, he knew about the unadvertised part of the business.

Liam shrugged. “I don’t know; I’m not big into the whole self-care routine, myself.”

Poisons and the like absolutely counted as self-care… from a certain point of view.

Yeah, he had a few millennia to go before that’d be a problem, most likely.

“Maybe I’ll drop by sometime and you can show me what’s what, then.”

"You all are going to make me go upstairs and change into something with color," Eliot said, gently teasing. "I do love the mask choice, though."

"Better you than me," Liam grinned. "The mask is colorful enough as far as I'm concerned."

Eliot tsked. “It’s called ‘classic’ black, not ‘oh god no not color’ black.”

Liam lifted one shoulder in a little half shrug. "I know what I like, what can I say."

A sigh. “Very well. May I offer you a splash of color in the form of a drink?”

Eliot waited a moment, brow lifted.

"Whether you've got any drinks without alcohol," Liam finished.

Alcohol was a pretty central fixture at... most Fandom parties, really. But not really Liam's thing, for a variety of reasons.
