WHAT || The Knights hunt the Decanter of Dionysus
WHERE || New Delhi, India
WHEN || June 7th, 2014, evening.
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread.

Talk about a soiree.  The team has walked into what is clearly legitimately a Gatsby party, but with an Indian flair.  Even upon approach, it's easy to see that this place is without parallel:  people are driving cars right up on the lawn of the fabulous mansion, which looks half-modern and half like a palace out of a Bollywood film.  Men and women in bright colors, fabrics, beads and silks move inside en masse, and as the doors are opened before them, they can see the grandness of the interior, with its diamond garland, draped fabrics, giant jeweled elephant statues, indoor trees that arch to the ceilings, twirling dancers, and a tall dramatic staircase leading up to a balcony above where the host himself reclines surrounded by admirers and friends, smoking a cigar.  

Liquor flows freely, and food is carried around on golden trays through the crowds.  It's an overwhelming buffet for the senses, a dizzying spectacle of color, laughter, dancing, and entertainment.

[David raises his eyebrows at the Doctor's comment.]

You might be surprised.

[He, actually, was not sarcastic. "How Showtunes Saved My Ass in an Alternate Dimension," a memoir by David Levin. Please don't ask.]

I don't even want to know.

[asap]

A guy dressed like that has to enjoy Bollywood, right?

[bowtimeandspace]

Well he didn't seem too keen when he killed our host in India. Or maybe he just wanted them to change the CD.

[panaceum]

Everybody's a critic these days.

[ambitionist]

Tell me about it. [what if he started checking his phone again out of boredom. don't judge him they have to wait to see how effective that idea was. or for loki to blow up half of russia. whichever. he would already be sexting piffy right here w everyone else in the room but she didn't give him her number when he gave her his. :'( ♬]

[panaceum]

[ whatever, she will actually talk at his face since it's right there. ] Expecting someone other than a malevolent trickster god?

[ambitionist]

Kid sister. I was telling her she'd look great with blue hair. [bluff 31 annnd snap he takes a pic of her with his phone before she can react.]

[panaceum]

If she's got your cheekbones, she could probably pull off puce.

[ambitionist]
