Open: In a shout of joy at the only shrine where you come benighted and leave benign

Dark has come and gone again, which means it’s time to party.

In some ways the party is very similar to last year’s - same large banquet room in the mansion, a similarly large abundance of food and drink, and the promise of a night full of letting loose for everyone in attendance. It’s far from a direct clone of the previous party though. For starters, Dionysus has had Claudius help him in all of the planning (sometimes a god’s blessings come in the form of enrichment for one’s enclosure). They’ve gotten several of the mansion’s residents to agree to play live music during the night, and Dionysus was able to find some, ah, more widely appreciated CDs to play during the breaks between performers.

The room has been decorated to the nines again, but where last year he had green vines draping on the walls diffusing the glow from the twinkling fairy lights, this year he has strung up swooping vines of silver, glittering almost like tinsel. The large food tables have an almost ridiculous amount of things to munch on; there should be something for everyone there.

It should go without saying that the beverage tables are well-stocked, considering the host.

The festivities are starting a little earlier this year than last, out of respect for those who may or may not have earlier bedtimes. Come dressed in your finest, it’s a yearly tradition now!




Just as there was last year, there is to be an ‘after party’. If your character is part of the standard Orgy Invite Crew, they will have received another invitation to that half of the evening as well. Just like last year, this part of the event is to be handwaved, for obvious reasons.

"Oh, I'm sure everyone will love them, then."

Sagramore laughs with unmitigated pleasure as he realizes Asmodean is really playing along. "Faster now!"

"But that's only my impression, of course. I wouldn't presume to know her. Perhaps her preference is for women," with a little shrug.

Sagramore cocks his head with a slight smile. "I don't want anything to do with Christianity either."

"A challenge I can rise to! Thank Christ. Let me put thee down so I can pay my tithe."

"Do you think? But she's not shown any sign of interest in me," says Susan, and then blinks. "--I do hope that didn't sound as terribly conceited to you as it did me."

Sagramore laughs. "No, I understand, anyone with eyes can see how thou lookst."

"Good," relieved. "I suppose it's all rather moot, anyway, unless she's got an invitation."

"In that case, perfect, I suppose." He's having to concentrate on his feet now.

Effie grins.

"Yeah! Let's fucking go!"

[personal profile] notalone_anymore 2025-07-07 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
And Effie is laughing all the while, feeling just so happy and carefree - a feeling she hasn't experienced in, well, quite some time.

She twirls in her dress, loving how she feels in it.

She shows him the drinks table then, pointing out the display of jello shots.

"I like the green ones the most," she says, clearly having no clue why or what flavor they are. "Want one?"

"Yes, I'm glad too," she replies. "And my name is Esther. It's nice to meet you."

She attempts a slight curtsy.

"Ah, yes, that's an important order." He places Sunny on the floor and begins filling the plate with apple slices.
sagramore: (laugh)

"So what thou art saying is that we should persuade Dionysus to invite her."

Effie's joy only enhances his own, building the sense of something communal in the wake of Dark. Finally he leans in and asks, "May I lift you?"

"Of course. Flawless." At that point, of course, he misses a step and almost stumbles but manages to recover.

"Oh, Sagramore, I do like the way you think," says Susan, leaning conspiratorially close. "Can't you just imagine her with - hm. Say... Claudius?"
