Awhile after he watched Thanatos stagger away, Neikos left his ennui inflicted brother Hori to raid the food table.

They had cake! Cake! He was going to kiss Ate next time he saw her, give her a big slippery wet one on the cheek because he couldn't remember the last time he was at any social function on Olympus and they had cake!

He wished the Ate and Styx punch-out thing would have kept going, at least until someone scored a TKO! Watching his sister punch another chick? Even if it was his aunt Styx? Was awesome! But then grand-dad had the "bright" idea to go stepping into the thick of the girlfight and whatever he said sent Styx one way and Ate another. He'd really bugged him because it didn't seem like anything interesting was really going to happen at this party.

Next to watching Ate hit Styx, the most interesting thing in his opinion was watching Thanatos getting plastered which he thought was kind of funny.

Strife decided he would have to ask Kia how she managed to get him that way because Neikos thought Thanatos was too uptight to really enjoy himself to the point of drunken intoxication. And that? That was kind of unfortunate he guessed because Death had an awesome job. Strife thought Death should enjoy it. In fact Strife wished he was Death, or rather he wished he had Death's job because he thought it was the most kickass job a god could have...being the redeemer; the reaper of souls.

He bet Thanatos enjoyed the perks of the job too. Like Blue Oyster Cult, "Don't fear the Reaper," perks...

Riiight! Who was he kidding? Thanatos was too uptight to take full advantage of any potential perks like seducing maidens.

Strife was actually kind of surprised he didn't have to run to Thanatos' rescue actually, rescue him from Kia---Hahaha. That sister of his was a pouncer. It was not that he really liked the spooky bastard that much, to keep him from falling into horny sisterly clutches, he just kind of felt oddly responsible for him after the peacock thing. Okay, he'd felt sorry for him too. Thanatos had reminded him of a lost puppy. Big soulful dark brown eyes...

Strife passed by Morpheus and Lethe who were dancing awfully close and he gave them a perplexed stare, almost walked into Limos while he was staring...

"Hey, sorry Twig---gonna get some foodage..."

And he completely lost his train of thought upon almost collision.

Now he as wondering what was up with Cousin Dream? Strife had never known of Morpheus as being into...Well anyone, or at least he'd never been known as a ladies man. So why would Morpheus be dancing with his sister? That was really weird.

He came upon the table and was making himself a plate, said a casual and abrupt hello to Kia, Nom and his grandparents when....

All the lights went out!

"Whoa! Who turned out ALL the lights?"

She was anticipating the onslaught of affection from Dysnomia, And offered Kia a somewhat resigned smile as she listened to the older girl ogg on the hyper one when she heard Strife's question, the words registering before the reality did. It was dark. What had...

It was Dark.

Her arm, still lightly around her husband's waist, tightened as she leaned her cheek in, the mild headache she'd had for days from dealing with the brightness gone... in fact, it was taking her eyes quite a few minutes to get used to the dark again.

Truly... it was a beautiful thing...

"Reb..."

Reb was preparing himself for the onslaught of hugs, a bit apprehensive of them, but then Kia mentioned taking a pinch off his cake and he was prepared to smack any grubby fingers away from his plate! Manners children!

Then the one he presumed was Neikos came along like a spider; the boy reminded him of a spider the way he moved on long spindly legs.

Then it happened again. The first time it had happened it had hurt his eyes, but this time he felt like he'd been blindfolded for but a moment before his eyes adjusted; it was only a moment. Just a moment and he heard the little webcrawler ask: Who turned out all the lights?

Erebus laughed, he laughed madly, "We did! We put out the lights, didn't we precious? We're back!"

	When everything went dark, it was instinctual for Morpheus to enclose his arms tighter around Lethe, in shock of not knowing what was happening. The initial shock gave way when he felt his realm within reach again; calling out to him soundlessly.; (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She was moving in for a hug when suddenly the lights went out. Oof! That was weird. Still, even in the dark she'd managed to grab someone. Was it grandpa? Dysnomia reached up, feeling at the jaw first, then at cheeks and finally the hair. No, that wasn't grandpa. With her free hand, she poked the hug-ee in the ribs. "Who is this?"

	Kia pushed at her sister. "Get off me, Nom. Before I pour Jack on your head." If Gramps was making it dark, then it appeared things were back to normal. "Hey Mom, got some lights back here somewhere?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dysnomia scowled and pushed back at her sister. "You're mean!" The lights had gone out, it was a genuine mistake. And why was her sister drinking American whiskey and not ouzo? Peh, she spent too much time in the west. "I'm going to sit with Lim-Lim. He won't pour things on my dress!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
