deathsmajesty: Katie McGrath as Morgana from BBC's Merlin (Looking - Regal Glance)

Once again, the gate that blocked off the bottom end of Phoenix Way was opened, inviting everyone to the creepy (though much less abandoned) mansion. This time, however, instead of being guided around to the gardens, the lit path led them to the front door, where the a tall figure in a tattered robe and deep cowl gestured for them to step inside the door and get onto a...boat? Once people had climbed in settled themselves, the ferryman began to guide the ship down the River Styx. Or, okay, their long entrance hallway, with blue lights to either side of their boat to mimic water and bathing everyone in an eerie blue glow. (Yes, okay, the boat perhaps wheeled down the hallway rather than floated, but they had not refinished this house just to flood the hallway for verisimilitude. Even if Liliana had considered it for a few minutes.)

The double doors leading to the ballroom were opened, with thick fog rolling out of the doorway. And through that doorway, people could descend the stairs into the Underworld proper. Black and gold were the prevailing color, with deep red nods to a pomegranate motif. Gold coins and loose gemstones added to the decor, a nod to Hades' wealth - but even amidst all the dark opulence, touches of other colors could be seen: tucked away in various corners and small niches were flowering plants, a surprise kiss of springtime to be found in the least likely places. Rather than one large chandelier, they had several, creating areas of both light and shadow around the ballroom.

Welcome to the Underworld, dear friends.

"It's Shirtless Thursday," Eric said, nodding. "The traditions must be observed."

"Yeah, bro!" came a shout from across the party as Gladio lifted his arm in solidarity when those words managed to reach him even from where he was. "Whoo!"

"Hey, Eric!" Gladio shouted back. "How you been?"

Because apparently that was what was going to happen now. Because you know what? They did need to catch up! It had been a while! And shouting at each other from across the party would probably annoy Liliana, too, so it was a win-win all around!

Well, except maybe for Liliana. And Ignis, who he already knew was sighing and pinching the bridge of his nose.

"No complaints!" Eric replied loudly. "You?"

"No complaints here, either, man!" Gladio called out, throwing a thumbs up into the air and ignoring Liliana with as much aplolm as she'd ignored him earlier. "Great outfit, by the way! Is it as comfortable as it looks?"

"It's very airy," Eric said unnecessarily.

"There would be no objections from me," Eric said sunnily.

"I think of it more as a lifestyle," Eric said. "This would not work as appropriate attire if you were swanning around an old drafty castle, but for a Halloween party it's very doable."

He grinned fangily. "Because I look very doable."

Eric laughed. "I moved into a condo with central heat. Undead life changing."
