[Lea appears on the network, looking over his copy of the invitation that went out to everyone a little while ago, and apparently deep in thought.]

So hey... was just wondering who all was actually planning on going to this masquerade thing?

[Holds up invitation.]

I've been kinda going back and forth on it myself. I mean, on one hand it might be fun, but on the other hand, I'd have to dress up. And I'm not much of a dancer, at least not the kind of dancing that's likely to go on at a fancy party like this.

Who: Regina Mills, Neil Blair, Arya Stark, Charlie McGee and YOU!
What: Regina throws a party, jointly in honor of Neil's nameday and a housewarming. Afternoon (CLOSED to extended family, includes Alice and Maddie); evening (OPEN to friends, coworkers, Fayrenite neighbors)
Where: Villa Ascua in Fayren
When: 11/3.
Summary: Shortly after noon, the usual chaos of a Saturday afternoon morphs into a family party with a singular special event. Toward sunset, with the assistance of OUATE, the magically globe-lit courtyard and property of Villa Ascua become the site of a casually chic open house.
Warnings: schmoop, family nonsense, anything that heads NSFW will go to private journals (please).
OOC Note: Please indicate which part of the party your tag is for. Otherwise, feel free to tag in, tag around, have fun.

[Phibrizzo sure looks pleased with himself.]

I've just started up a brand new business! It's called Runic Security, and with my magic, I can put up barriers around your home to keep out anyone who's not supposed to be there.

[To demonstrate, he has two mice present and a cage with an open door. After casting the barrier, one of the two mice is able to move freely. The second one is completely unable to get inside to get at the food he's left inside the cage.]

It's mostly for Everglade, since some anonymous person seemed to think people weren't feeling safe. This is a way better use of your money than paying someone to write down some laws, don't you think?

[After all, someone who's breaking and entering is already disregarding the law.]

You can hire me for other cities, too. If you're renting, your landlord is still going to be able to get in, but it's a good option if your landlord's slow about fixing locks.
