Jessie has deviated from her usual base of the house in the middle of the woods to something more accessible and larger. The room is decorated in the colors of Hell, all blacks, reds, and purples, with streamers artfully twisted and hung, and bunches of balloons tied to weights in various corners. Tables draped in red table clothes are scattered towards the back, nearest the buffet table, which has been covered in all sorts of delectable eateries and tasty beverages. A dance floor stands to one side of the foray, where you can hang your coats, hats, and annoying servants . . . er, whatever else you prefer.
Jessie sits at one of the chairs, dressed in a simple black dress with a scoop neck and skirt that falls to just above her knees. Her hair has been smoothed and straightened, but it's still obviously the one you've come to love by her huge grin and jubulent greeting.
"Hiya! Come in!" she urges, motioning you all inside. "Lysandor should be here in a moment." She glances at a door hidden behind a flurry of balloons. "There was some trouble in the kitchen . . ."

Karen and Ciel walk in and Karen's face goes wide in a smile. "Thanks Jess! This look great!" She was wearing a good pair of slacks with some lovely boots and a nice shirt of blue. Ciel had a red dress with slits and no shoes, as per normal.
Karen runs and glomps Jessie and Ciel strides in, looking around. "yes Kitten, this is rather lovely..."

Becky wanders in and hangs up her heavy fawn colored coat- which prompt falls off the hook. She's wearing stack-heeled brown loafers, a floor length black skirt, a t-shirt under an open blouse. putting her coat back up she trips over her shoes and promptly removes them and leaves them sitting up her coat.
"Hi Guys! Jess this is fabulous, you should do parties more often! Congrats, Karen" She chatters as she moves across the room to hug each girl. "Hi Ciel, you look yummy tonight- we'll have to be careful if we dance though." Becky wiggles her toes in emphasis.
Queenie rolls her eyes through out the hyperactive chatter. She's looking much more like her old self today in a black and purple kimono styled gothic lolita dress, with black and purple tights and black mary-janes.
"She had coffee today- don't mind her. Hello dears." She waves at Jess and Karen and embraces Ciel.
"In the interests of preserving what little sanity I have from the caffeine-induced insanity that created me- I'm going to see just what our favorite fallen is doing in the kitchen." and she heads off to investigate the door.

Karen smiles and hugs her back. "Thanks Beck. I finally did it! Long as it took...." Karen takes that time to promptly slip out of her boots as well. " Good idea."
Ciel embraces her Queen as well and squeals to Becky. "A dance sounds lovely. If my Queen says it is all right, I will dance you ragged."
Karen smiled and turned back to Jess. " Again, thanks for the shindig. I definitely appreciate it."

With a loud poof and a puff of black smoke a large sphere of red and black yin-yang suddenly appears form out of nowhere and then bounces into the room. The sphere clinks like a pure crystal as its bounces soften into a smooth roll. It rolls to a dead stop in the middle of the room. It sits for a second as the surface begins to ripple and black light emanates outward filling the room. With a thunderous boom the ball explodes into a jillion pieces like an ornate firework, it makes letters that sparkle and pop into 'Congratulations Karen' that rains sparks then translating the phrase into many languages and colors.
Then as if a black hole draws the sparks and words back into a concentrated form. The familiar shape of Regent forms from the sparks and flame and with a quick convulsion, Karl and Thane fly out from the black abyss in his chest and land on the floor like the fresh catch of the day.
"I'll bet that got all of your attentions... Congratulations... " Regent says softly as he disappears with a lightning strike and reforms before Karen as a charring ember that burns in reverse to reform and cool quickly. He takes her hand and with a sweet kiss to her soft fingers he smiles, "...on your academic achievements Lady Karen."

Karl and Thane lay on the floor looking rather sick to their stomachs. Thane rolls onto his massive back and gurgles something about projectiles, death and splattering.
Karl lays on his chest looking up with a strain on his face. "OK .. uhhhhh. Not such a bright idea..." he winces as he looks up to everyone. "Hey... did we miss anything?" He gasps, "Please tell me that looked cool, so I can die in peace..." he says looking like the wind was knocked out of him.

Tre'Maya and Vetli walk in just about then. The Lady hid her mouth behind her hand and chuckled. She looked at Thane lying on his back on the floor and had to laugh. He was so lovable when he was muttering about ripping and tearing things apart...
She looked down at him and then up at Regent and nodded to him. The road less traveled, as that human poet was so fond of saying, I would assume. Chancellor.
She smiled down at Thane and Karl. Are you not glad to have taken the road less traveled by? It seems to me that that has made quite the difference.
Vetli chuckled and lit his pipe. Enjoyed the ride, boys?

When Regent made his entrance and exploded into his message in sparkles, Karen clapped happily. "That's gorgeous, if a bit over the top, but then again....the Chancellor seems to have a flair. Can't fault that." Then Karl and Thane got spit out and onto the floor. Karen's first reaction was huh?, followed quickly by running to help Karl off the floor while laughing.
As she helped Karl up, she looked up to Regent and nodded, still giggling. "Thank you Chancellor, that was very extravagant. And I must thank you again on the congratulations. I took a little longer than everyone else, I will say that, but at least I did it..."
She decided against trying to help Thane because, unlike a turtle, he can flip himself over. When Karl was off the floor, she dusted him off. "You okay, hot stuff? Looks like you and our furry handbag with teeth had a rough ride. Decided to carpool?"
She hugged him, softly, and laughed a little. "No, you really didn't miss anything...and that...that did look a little cool...but does it really matter how cool it looked? You're...(pauses only to giggle) you're here!"
Ciel was still holding to her Queen, hoping to go with her and see if she could help in the kitchen or help her Queen in some way if needed.
Karen, meanwhile, smiled at Tre'Maya and Vetli. "Hi guys. You look great as per normal! Make yourselves comfy."

Jess grins at the Regent's own congratulations. "He definitely knows how to make an entrance and steal the show." Then she sees Karl and Thane on the floor and hops over to help them up, trying to not bust up laughing. "You two okay?"
The cooks scurry about in the kitchen, looking as though they are only busy to have an excuse not to get involved in the goings-on behind them. Though the kitchen had been cleaned, its obvious that a fight had broken out before the party.
Lysandor has the maitre'd in a painful hold, pinning his arms behind his back just short of breaking the man's arms. The fussy-looking man looks like he had been hit by a truck while the Fallen just sports a split lip.
"Your services are no longer required," Lysandor tells him firmly as he walks the squirming man to the back door. "Your behavior was unbecoming in a man, and unforgivable in one of your position." He would have said more, but he sees Ereshkigal and Ciel walk in the kitchen. Lysandor bows to them, forcing the man to bow with him. "I will be at your disposal in a moment. I must take out the rest of the garbage."

Ciel held onto her Queen and smiled evilly. "Would you like any help with the garbage disposal, Master Elite? I have grown quite fond of compacting trash myself."
She turned to Erishkegal, looking almost like an excited child. "May I Majesty? May I?"

Becky claps for Regent's show, shaking with giggles. She pats Karl on the shoulder working very hard on keeping a straight face.
"It was something alright. Do you need a drink? I think I would after that!" She curtsies to Regent still trying to straighten out her face.
"That was definitely something."
Queen raises an eyebrow at Ciel and smiles evilly
"It is Lysandor's trash, but if he says it's all right then I might join you." she looks at Lysandor and fixes him with a look he's probably never seen on her face before one almost exactly like the look Ciel was just giving her.
"Pretty please?"

Lysandor gives them a barely-there, but somewhat vicious smile as he tosses the maitre'd to the two demon women. "Both of you would enjoy throwing out the garbage more than I would. He has been most unruly and ungentlemanly towards the service girls my human has commissioned for this party. The rest of his waitstaff has already been relieved of their posts, but I thought he deserved special attention."

As the man is thrown towards the two, Ciel reaches out and grabs the maitre'd by an ankle, letting the rest of him smack into the floor. She smiles cruelly and slips out from around her Queen and starts to drag the squealing man out the back door.
"Shall we? This ought to be quite fun!"

Queenie watches the man whimpering in Ciel's grip with a blissful smile. Her eyes glitter as she looks over at Lysandor then moves to stand in front of him smiling brightly her hands clasped behind her back.
"Don't be silly, Lysandor, we don't want to deprive you of your fun. Ciel and I are very good at sharing. Come on!" She darts forward grabs his hand and starts pulling him after Ciel and the "trash".

Lysandor's smile widens and softens as he is drug outside by Ereshkigal. He touches the small wound on his lip. "I have had my share of fun with him, but if you wish, I will assist."

Ereshkigal looks at his lip and she cheery smile takes on a vicious edge, her teeth flashing at him.
"He'll pay for that affront for a very very long time after he dies. Consider it a gift from me." She keeps a hold of his hand, pulling slightly as she follows Ciel out the back door.

Ciel was already leaning over the man as the exited. She looked happiest as she sat, pinning the maitre'd to the ground, he being unable to move anything without screaming out in pain or terror. She barely even noticed the two walking out. They caught the tail end of her raving.
"...and then you just wait, meat. You will get special treatment from the Queen of Hell herself. And as with anything, she will make you grovel for your death, licking and sobbing on her slippered feet. But you won't get it, oh no you won't, 'cause I will see to that personally. You just wait, snack. We will have lots of fun together."
He was whimpering and trying to escape, but it looked as though he really was just ready to give up the ghost then and there. He kept saying, "How can such a beautiful woman be so evil?"

Karl takes the proffered help gladly, He stands weakly as Karen dust him off leaning slightly on Jess. "Thanks you guys." he wheezes. "Ya know, That would have been fun if not for the bursting into a nova of atomic particles only to be reassembled like an eager 3rd grader makes two pieces of play-dough merge into one." he claps his hands together in demonstration. "Boom, whole again but not quite alright..."
Thane slowly makes his way to his feet. He too is very shaken as he looks dizzy trying to find his balance again. "If you ever suggest anything like that again... I'll consider it your last request... before I remove all the important pieces of your anatomy and fling them to the Wrogs." Thane grunts clearly upset at Karl.

Jess grimaces in sympathy. "That kinda sounds like it hurt . . ." She smiles at Thane's treat towards Karl. "I wouldn't try to travel like that anymore, hun. While it sounds painful to travel that way, I'm sure Thane could make it hurt a whole lot worse . . ."
Lysandor follows Ereshkigal out the back door and smiles at Ciel tormenting the poor maitre'd.
"There is no need to torture the man on my account," he replies to the former Queen. "He was able to land a lucky blow in a less-than-fair fight. However, for other things, I am more than willing to allow him to be tortured to your heart's content."

Ereshkigal turns and reaches a hand up to Lysandor's lip brushing a finger over the injury. She's barely an inch away from him, close enough that she has to look straight up to meet his eyes. She slides her hand up his jaw to cup his cheek.
"That he was able to land a blow in any kind of fight against you is a miracle." Her face is very serious, and she lays her other hand against his chest.
