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.

She laughs a little.

"I dunno, more parties? And nice weather, too. I fucking love dressing for the club in summer, so good."

"Shite!" he yelps as she unceremoniously yanks out the glass, but -- all right, that does feel a lot better, actually, and he stuffs the napkin into his palm.

"No, um, Gawain tried, I'm just not very good at it," he mumbles.

"...Oh," she replies, feeling slightly bad that she was so critical just then.

"Well, maybe I can teach you?"

"Once the bleeding stops, I'll put a bandage on it," she tells him, picking up the mop and pointing the handle at him sternly. "Now don't touch anything else!"

"I've had ample time for my research and studies, but something seems to be missing. A supernatural manifestation or a mysterious death under suspicious circumstances wouldn't go amiss." She's kidding.

Laertes raises his eyebrows. "Sweet man, has thou ever had charge of a little puppy?"

Nina doesn't do a terrible job of cleaning up the glass with the mop, which at least lifts all of the wine up as well, but someone will definitely need to clean up the tinier pieces later. Or at least not attempt to gather them up with their hands. 

"Let's take a look at your hand now," she says, taking his hand into her own again.

"Here--wouldst thou not protest, an I said I know not why Sagramore chose me?"
