Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly

The invitation goes out to many. Once again, monsters make up the bulk of the guest list but humans have a small place on it this time as well. They still have their place at his party as servants and food, but some lucky humans have been gifted the title of 'guest'. See, when the host decided there were a few humans he wanted to invite as his own personal guests, he also made the decision to allow other humans to join their ranks. Congratulations lowly humans.

The invite, itself, is very on-theme for Vena: Gold ink on heavy black cardstock. Each one is beautifully handwritten. Not by Vena, but by someone else of course! The party's theme is outlined on the invitation. It's to be a masquerade ball with no other restrictions.

A small team of decorators have been working tirelessly to prepare Vena's estate. He even kept his presence to a minimum so they could stay focused on the task at hand. The entire estate has a Victorian gothic theme, more so than usual. Deep reds join the black colouring, all meant to evoke thoughts and feelings of the season. Several long tables were brought in to the dining room, upon which sits a vast array of food and drink. If someone doesn't see something they like on the table, there's a young man working the bar and a chef in the kitchen awaiting instruction (both working for the low price of just few scant moments of Vena's attention once in a while throughout the night). The sofa and most of the other furniture has been removed from the living room area to transform it into a ballroom, where both the music and the lighting are rather soft. Extra seating has been brought in and spread about the estate, though for those looking for something a little more comfortable or a place to spend the night, all of the bedrooms (minus two. His own bedroom and Su-jin's) on the second floor are open to guests.

The grounds outside match the dark theme of the inside with even the newly hung lights being a little dimmer, a little moody. Benches are dotted around the garden with more intimate, two-seat benches deeper in where the flora is a little taller and a little thicker, where it's a little further from the party and people can feel more alone.

Vena's entire estate is at his guests' disposal tonight. Enjoy, partygoers.
