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.

It's interesting, Susan thinks, how she's got such a different experience of Lancelot to some of the other people here. He wasn't slow to sleep with her, and the only times he's seemed at all uncertain of his value to her is when his traumatic neuroses have got the better of him. It makes her fiercely glad that he's got that self-assurance with her. But still -

"I imagine it's more sexual uncertainty than it is social."

Grantaire leans back and looks over Lancelot and the outfit adorning him. "Absolutely marvelous. It wouldn't suit anyone here nearly as well."

Gaheris shouldn't have actually watched her drinking, because it's making him think too much about her lips. Far too much. He quickly takes his own shot and downs it like she had, and that is how he discovers what the texture of jello is like.

"Shite!" he yelps, because the moment he registers the jello is the moment it's already too far down his throat to do anything about, and it's even worse than raw fish. He grabs the nearest glass of something else and gulps it down to get the sensation out of his mouth.

He sidles up to Sagramore and slips an arm around him and following his gaze upward. "Hm?"

"If you would like, you can. However your time may be better spent on other pursuits, as some people like to hear boring songs, and I would like to be fair to them as well."

In the overly-sincere and overly-serious way people get sometimes when they've had too much to drink, Benvolio says, "Neither was I, I had spent two months' time in pure agony, but it is much better here."

SECUNIT. Right. Yes. That is the name Magnus mentioned. "'Tis wonderful to meet you, SecUnit."

"Thank you," he says as he takes his glass. "Dancing can certainly work up a thirst." He has a long sip.
