For his first large scale event, Pollux spared no expense. It was Halloween, after all, his favourite day of the year, and he always made sure that everything was set up just the way he envisioned it in his mind. The house itself was decorated by a professional, streamers of orange and black hung from every corner, strung across the ceiling in twisted loops in three rooms, the atmosphere in each slightly differing from the next. In the large ballroom, where the hired band was set up, black light set to pulse to the beat of the drummer's drum, a light mist swirled about knee level, ravens perched in a macabre looking tree set in the center of the room, champagne flowing freely from into a pool from it's base.
Thirty additional hired servants, the only people he hoped to see not in costume that night stood ready to serve from trays the guests who would arrive soon. The menu had been difficult to plan, and in the end Pollux had simply decided on food for anyone who wanted to sit and eat (a large dining room, well lit, had been set up just for this) and then finger food of every variety imaginable. For those who would forgo the food, six open bars dotted both the property and the house, tended by two men each and were stocked with any kind of liquor, wine, soda and even bottled water he imagined anyone would be asking for.
Then there was the candy, one of the main attractions of Halloween. Homemade sweets, and store bought chocolates (and fruity mixes for those so inclined)in bowls, dozens of them set to float unobtrusively around above the guests, only to lower themselves when someone wanted to dip their hand in the bowl to claim some.
The third and final room was a large sitting room. A quiet place, filled with couches, a hint of the decorations that filled the ballroom, yet set up for those who needed to take a breather, enjoy conversation with a friend, or simply sit down for a few minutes without much disruptions.
While he waited for the guests to arrive, Pollux, An Egyptian Pharaoh for the night was standing in the ballroom, carefully holding his costumed daughter in one arm, while being served a glass of the cool champagne from the tree by one of the servants who flanked him, all six of which who were dressed similarly in cream coloured loincloths, and nothing more.
