Halloween Party (backdated like a mofo)

[the_darling_one]

The theme for this year's annual Halloween Bash is Heroes and Villains. The club has been redecorated for the evening, and it seems as though each corner has a different theme. And we're not talking the campy sixties type stuff, but the more recent movies from both Marvel and DC.

One half of the room is DC, complete with areas that look like the Batcave, the Fortress of Solitude, Arkham Asylum, and the Legion of Doom's lair, which has dartboards that have various heroes faces on them.

The other half of the room has the Avenger's Tower, The ship from Guardian's of the Galaxy, a throne in space with Thanos, and Hydra's lair.

They all meet in the middle at the dance floor, which gives off a kind of supernatural glow that seems to throb along with the music.

All the employees are dressed for the theme, as various heroes and villian's sidekicks and henchment.

Let the fun begin!

Gabriel chuckles softly. "That is a very generous offer, thank you, but I don't think I should let anyone resort to violence just yet. And it might have to be directed at me, anyway."

"It's not that generous, I like punching people. Especially people who deserve it."

She watches him for a moment. "What's going on that you would say that?"

"It has to do with my involvement with Lucifer and Jason. I fear it isn't making me as objective as I need to be. And there will be consequences with my family when they find out."

"I thought... I thought everybody knows."

Re: Mia and Gabriel

[bitofheaven]

"There are some things they don't know."

Re: Mia and Gabriel

[mia_j]

"If I asked would you even tell me?" Her tone is skeptical, but she understands his answer will probably be no.

Re: Mia and Gabriel

[bitofheaven]

"I can't tell you before they know," he says softly. "I think that would make things worse for me."

"I figured as much. Must be bad. Or big. ...You're okay though, right?"

Re: Mia and Gabriel

[bitofheaven]

"I've shirked my duties. You can understand how bad that can be."

Re: Mia and Gabriel

[mia_j]

She's quiet a moment. "Yeah. I don't think you're strictly a soldier angel, but I understand the whole not fulfilling your duties thing. Why haven't you been doing them?" she asks curiously. "Or are you not able to anymore cause you're not allowed in heaven?"

Re: Mia and Gabriel

[bitofheaven]

He narrows his eyes for a moment, then shakes his head. "No, it's fine. I... You wouldn't really understand and it's far too complicated to try and explain. But I do appreciate you listening." He looks for a bartender. "I really should get Grace's drink and get back to her."

Re: Mia and Gabriel

[mia_j]

It's true, a lot of things about angels go completely over her head because she has trouble grasping the concept of heaven. Most of the time it's just easier to think of it like another planet and angels as another species.

"I just don't like you looking so sad." She helps get a bartender's attention. "Though I guess it fits your costume. Batman's all broody and stuff, I think."

Re: Mia and Gabriel

[bitofheaven]

Gabriel does smile at that. "It will be all right, or, at the very least, work out the way it should. It's probably better if you don't know too much, anyway. I feel as if I've dragged enough people into my mess."

Re: Mia and Gabriel

[mia_j]

She'll just hug him before he goes, unsettled that she can't do anything else about his mood. "I hope it'll be all right."

Re: Mia and Gabriel

[bitofheaven]

Gabriel hugs her back and kisses the top of her head. "Thank you, Mia."

Re: Mia and Gabriel

[mia_j]

She smiles up at him. "Keep me updated, yeah?"

Re: Mia and Gabriel

[bitofheaven]

"Once this is all over, I will," Gabriel says with a small smile.
