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.

"This is what vampires wear to important events," Eric blatantly lied. "It's cultural."

"I sincerely doubt that's true," Lucifer told him. "You just like looking ridiculous."

"You're just jealous you didn't think to try to pull off hotpants," Eric told him.

"Oh, I know I can pull off hotpants," Lucifer returned. "I just know there's a time and a place!"

Not necessarily the time and a place other people would call 'a time and a place', but still a different time and a place!

"There are two people here dressed as sexy popcorn," Eric noted. "This is the perfect time and place."

"The sexy popcorn just means they have no sense of time and place," Lucifer said. "You can't hide behind other people's terrible taste."

"I can and I will," Eric said. "It's a Halloween party. It's the perfect place to embrace tacky. Not that I'm tacky. I'm amazing."
