Eternal Oasis Open House
Who: Everyone (add your tags if you attend)
Where: Eternal Oasis Spa in Dorinta
When: Saturday, 18 December, 2025
Summary: It's time to put up the tree

The Eternal Oasis Spa. Vivianne adored the imagery that name suggested. Unending. Never-changing. Relaxation. Luxury. And that was what she'd built into the establishment that would act as a gateway to her other, more exclusive, endeavours here on this backwards little island.

Décor ran toward a simple, yet lush style. Lines were clean in both functioning design and the spare pieces of art adorning the walls. Candles afforded most of the lighting, set in precise groupings in each room. The fabrics and colours, however, were anything but plain. To offset the neutral cream walls, chairs and sofas, linens, etc. were in rich browns, vibrant oranges, and deep golds or greens for accents, crafted from silks and satins, chenilles and egyptian cottons.

The reception itself was held in the front part of the property that would serve as the day spa and drop-in centre. The waitstaff was made up of a combination of spa employees and assorted other members of Vivianne's staff, serving hors d'oeuvres and champagne. In the main reception area, a string quartet was playing, while out in the central garden a small area had been set up for select performances in voice and dance -- all performers chosen from amoung the young men and women who worked for Vivianne's more exclusive interests.

Tours of the weekend stay facilities that made up the back of the property, consisting mostly of small 'bungalows' for private pampering, were conducted every half an hour through the length of the party.

And, of course, Vivianne herself, in a 1890s inspired vintage dress of gold silk and brown velvet, was on hand to greet guests as well as looking for prospective future clients -- for all her business ventures.

Margot couldn't help but continue to chuckle at her sister and her mother. There were times, such as this, when her own sense of humor was a tad on the morbid side. "I suppose I'll just stick to children sticking their parent's wands up their noses for now."

Smiling as her sister talked about Alastor, she could help but feel a slight twinge of loneliness in her own life. Not that she particularly was looking for permanent, something steady would have been nice.

As soon as Marlene began checking their glasses for spells or hexes, Margot's first reaction was that her sister was being paranoid. However, her sister's paranoia was very good at noticing when something was off. "No, I feel fine," she answer, her forehead wrinkling. Quickly, she snatched the glasses out of Marlene's hands and thrust them toward their mother. "Hold these."

She grabbed her sister's arm and pulled her to a place with better light. "Tell me what you felt and for how long." She pulled out her wand and began checking Marlene's vitals. "What did you eat and drink before arriving here?"

"Fine, no psychopath," she said with a pout, even though she agreed with their mother. If she never saw a psychopath again, it would be too soon, but she wouldn't stop looking. "Of course, kids that do that are just as bad as psychopath."

She nodded at her mother. Alastor was special and not because they were involved. He had always been special.

"Yes, I'm okay. It was just a moment." Of course, that didn't satisfy her. Just because she couldn't find something, it didn't mean that there was nothing.

She followed Margot, careful with her heels. "Just an instant, and I haven't eaten or drunk anything that you haven't seen me eat or drink. It was just as I drank the champagne, and it lasted an instant." She looked at her mother. "You can put your away if you want, but I'll take mine, and make sure that it gets checked at the office, just in case."
