What: Fancy Opening Night
When: May 11th
Where: The Opherium, Central City
Content Warnings: n/a


( i. grand opening — mingle and drinks )

[ welcome to the opherium. open to all metas, provided you’re up to the dress code. so make sure you’re dressed to the gills with your fanciest clothes or you might just be asked to leave. you’re ushered into a grand hall. there are appetizers like shrimp cocktails and little quiches placed on large tables for you to nibble on and champagne glasses being passed around by waiters. located in the middle is a large chocolate fountain for all you dessert lovers (loki. it’s for loki). grab yourself a drink and go hit up a familiar face. ]

( ii. dance dance )

[ and of course, once the mingling and networking is done, the staff come to clear the chairs away and leave plenty of room on the dance floor. the lights go dim, casting soft shadows against the wall. slow waltzes begin to filter through the hall as gently encouragement to go find a partner, maybe hold them close, enjoy a little . . . company and more.

or maybe you just want an excuse to step on someone’s foot. equally valid. in fact, there might be a little magic in the air that tugs you towards someone you want to be with . . . ]

( iii. star gazing )

[ the party is winding down. maybe you’re ready to go back. curl up on bed after a late night with drinks and dancing. or perhaps you’re feeling a touch of wistfulness, a need to seclude yourself after all that jazz. consider then, finding yourself a nice quiet corner on the upper levels of the theatre, where there are some nice balconies for you to collect yourself.

and there are always the stars to keep you company. ]

A little bit.

[dothelokimotion]

Are there many trickster gods in your world?

[robintohood]

Mostly in stories as far as I know.

[dothelokimotion]

Ah, but who are those stories written by?

[robintohood]

Humans. What are the corrections then?

[dothelokimotion]

Why would I do that?

I see no point in correcting humans and their stories. They are what they made them to be. But I wouldn't uphold them as the truth either.

[robintohood]

Do you enjoy them?

[dothelokimotion]

Of course. I enjoy all sorts of stories.

[robintohood]

Any particular favorites?

[dothelokimotion]

I don't know the human ones very well.

But we know the stories of Nidhogg, the dragon that feeds on malice or the Norns and how they came to be. Stories of Bor and the Elves, the Chasm of Deep Blood.

[robintohood]

A couple of the classical epic poems might be to your taste then.

There's Beowulf, which is about a man who slays a monster, the monster's mother, and a dragon. Then there's The Odyssey, which is about a man's journey to get back home after a war.

Meanwhile, Shakespeare's plays aren't about those kinds of adventures but a lot of the drama he put in is compelling.

[dothelokimotion]

I'll peruse them for consideration.

[robintohood]

Have fun. I also recommend works by Tennessee Williams or Arthur Miller for more contemporary stuff.

[dothelokimotion]

Mm. Thank you. Recommendations are . . . appreciated.

[robintohood]

Not a problem. It'd be nice to see some stuff here.

[dothelokimotion]

Yes. It's always good to have stories seen and heard.
