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.

"Ah, lovely timing," Esther replies with a light laugh. "That was pretty rough, wasn't it?"

"Ay, I am glad for it to be over with." Then, realizing he hasn't actually introduced himself yet, he bows (again) and says, "Forgive me, lady, I am Benvolio, formerly of Verona."

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

She attempts a slight curtsy.

"How long has it been since you arrived?"

"Honestly, I barely keep track - it's better that way," Esther replies, laughing lightly. "I was not a happy person when I came here."

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."

"What was your home like?" he asks. "Did it have all the magic and technology of this place?"
higginbottom: (happy!)

"Oh, most definitely not," she says with a laugh. "I'm from 1953 - Massachusetts, in the United States. My home was boring compared to this place. What about you?"
keep_the_peace: (Grin)

"Thou'rt from the future," which he's actually sort of used to at this point. A lot of the people here are from the future.
