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!]

Date: 2021-10-22 12:39 pm (UTC)If the tower collapses on your turn, you must drink the entire contents of the Community Cup. A Reverse Entropy spell will automatically rebuild the tower after each collapse, until everyone is too drunk or too bored to keep playing. NOTE: unless otherwise noted, all magical effects dissipate either at the start of the affected player’s next turn or when a player forfeits by pouring their drink into the Community Cup.
[want to play? you can pick something out of our list of effects or request a RNGed one in the OOC. please make sure to get OOC consent if you’re going to do something to another player’s character.]
Where's The Water?
Date: 2021-10-22 12:42 pm (UTC)Grab a friend (or maybe two). Each person takes a shot in turn, and tries to convince the rest that there’s water in that shot. If they fail, they have to take another shot.
Whoever taps out first loses. Loser.

She was too fabulous for this kind of insecure bullshit.

She'd left her hair down, wavy and swept over one shoulder, and accented the whole thing with some simple silver chains around her neck and a delicate bangle or two at her wrists.
Was it a little breezy for mid-October? Sure, but it would be warm in the party, Irene was sure, and moreover, sacrifices needed to be made.

Date: 2021-10-22 01:04 pm (UTC)She would be extremely impressed by the house, especially when she discovered it was bigger on the inside. One day she would try that kind of magic on her apartment when she wasn't in fear of destroying the town by accident.
Re: Arrive and Say Hi
Date: 2021-10-22 01:06 pm (UTC)Though, despite previous claims about not wanting to impress anyone, she'd spent a good few days whipping up a metal mask to match in her shop that week, which she'd just put the finishing touches on that day, actually, and that she was pretty proud of and might be a little put out if no one wound up being even a little impressed by it.

Date: 2021-10-22 01:11 pm (UTC)Look, his other option for this thing involved the words 'sequined cape with a high collar', so....you're welcome.
He was also pretty pleased to have found a mask that really played into his whole eagle/wing aesthetic a little bit.

Date: 2021-10-22 01:13 pm (UTC)Margo wasn’t gonna hide that initial look on her face, okay? But she was also not going to kick crazy poison lady out. “Welcome,” she said, clearing the expression in favor of her best party hostess smile. “Glad you could make it, you find the place all right?”
Re: Arrive and Say Hi
Date: 2021-10-22 01:15 pm (UTC)“Huh, no shirt,” Margo said, nodding like that was a valid choice. Because it was. “I’m into it. Welcome.”
