It’s a lovely night for a party!

The venue at the outskirts of town is, unfortunately, a bit drafty — and actually rather sparsely furnished, as well. In fact, party goers are encouraged to mingle, drink, and enjoy themselves in the courtyard, as the castle itself wasn’t able to be renovated in time, and has proven to be a little bit architecturally unsound. Any explorative guests might find a small hail of dust and pebbles on their heads if they venture too far in — and who knows what else, if they continue on.

But the drinks and snacks both are plentiful and delicious, and the large canvas set up from castle wall to castle wall keeps off the sprinkling rain. The weather could even be described as warmish and pleasant, if one were feeling generous. A group of Exiles plays classic instruments in one corner of the courtyard, having been paid enough to even smile at any Transports that wander near.

All in all, it’s shaping up to be a good night. Until about 10 PM, that is. Come 10 PM, the Misery rolls into town, tearing down the canvas, nullifying powers, and crying corrosive blood everywhere. That’s the cue for all hell to break loose, as the final wave of mind-controlled characters snag their victims and make for the hills — or at least for the UE. The mind-controlled characters will also have the backup of a squadron of 20 of the Masked, the UE's special ops force. The Masked's main goal is to grab those on their list and get away, but they're certainly not above shooting to kill at anyone that gets in their way. They're also highly trained in hand-to-hand combat and physically enhanced by their suits, so they're a good bunch to try to avoid.

But do have a wonderful time until then, won’t you?

[ Kili isn't the only one enticed by the free food; Apollo here has been stuffing her face, stealing pastries and drinking as much as possible since the moment she got here. Noticing that someone else was also hoarding food, the redhead came up alongside of him as he was sneaking some things into his cloak. ] Word of advice, get some of those too. [ She said, pointing to a plate of puffy little pastries with some sort of jam and chocolate inside. ] Fuckin' delicious, I've been stuffing my damn face with them all night.

[At first, he's a little worried she's going to tell him to stop because he's stealing or something along those lines, but she doesn't. A grin steals across Kili's face and he glances at the indicated pastries.] Oh? Great, thanks.

[He pops one into his mouth just to try it and nods excited.] Mahal, that is good.

See? [ And since she was already here, she took a couple more for herself too. And oh, look, a plate of cookies - those weren't going to go untouched either, apparently. Apollo took a bite of one and the delighted look on her face that followed was enough to show she was pleased with those too. ] No idea who's throwin' this party but goddamn the food they got here is great.

[Kili nods in agreement and slips a few more of the treats into his cloak.]

And it's free. [Free food rocks.]
