Who: Jareth and everyone!
When: Day Four, evening
What: The King 'invites' everyone to his masque...
Where: Jareth's castle
Rating: Anywhere from G to R, I suppose
Status: Complete

It had been raining earlier in the day, but it had cleared up a short time ago. Jareth looked out the window of his massive ballroom, empty for now, and felt a little bit disoriented by the fact that the Labyrinth had just disappeared. Of course, he'd made it happen, but it had been a long time since he'd felt so exposed. But he couldn't very well have people needing to wander through the Labyrinth, could he? And the two who had been running it had been transported to the castle already, and he knew from the screams of rage that they were being dressed at this very moment.

The king smiled and turned away from the window, checking out his ballroom. It was quite spectacular, with a large orchestra pit, many snack tables, and, of course, lots of empty space for dancing. This, he figured, would be a night to remember. He snapped his fingers and peered into the crystal that appeared there, scrying on each and every person he'd brought to the Underground. Some, he knew wouldn't come on their own, and he sent crystals floating out to ensare them. Of course, some might just be strong enough to resist that pull, so he had goblins standing by to bring others in. Whether willing or not, everyone would be attending, he'd seen to that.

Dressed in his finery, with an evil looking mask in the guise of a leering demon, he walked over to his throne. Draping himself casually over it, he waited. People would be arriving anytime, now. He didn't fool himself for a moment that some wouldn't take this chance to attack him, which was why he wasn't precisely there. Anyone who tried to attack him, he knew, would find their useless effort wasted against what was no more than a projected image.

He gestured, and a goblin slave brought him a glass of wine. This, he was convinced, was going to be a night to remember.

"I saw him," Rose confirmed, her blood boiling at even the sight of him. He hadn't been hiding, or even looking ashamed. In fact, he looked somewhat bored, maybe even a little amused. Well, why shouldn't he? He'd ruined their lives, not the other way around. "He doesn't even look the least bit apologetic. What sort of power must someone have to pull people from different parts of the universe?"

It was a peculiar question, maybe, but it genuinely worried Rose to think about. She knew certain species that could, and none ever led to good things. "No one seems to be bothering him, though. Is he guarded?"

"Power to burn" Yaten said as she stepped away from the wall. "And arrogant." She wanted to snarl, to hit something, to unleash her power against the bastard. She could feel her upper arms tremble with her barely contained anger. But doing any of those things had the possibility of getting innocent people hurt. However cynical and bitter she might be, Yaten was still a senshi, and she wouldn't put people's lives at risk if there was a better way.

"Only one way to find out" she said, her words clipped and precise. "Stay here. I'll see if I can... talk to him" She didn't wait to hear Rose's response before slipping into the crowd, for once thankful of her short and slight build as it made weaving through the dancers far easier.
