Party thread!
-Who: Everyone!
-What: Party time!
-When: Day 27, from 5 in the morning carrying on until 5 am the next day when everything will get cleaned up by the golems
-Where: Ballroom, club, bar, places around there
-Status: Complete
-Rating: Who knows! Could go from anywhere between G and R!

If one were to walk into the ballroom after 5 am, they would find brightly colored streamers hanging across the walls and from the ceiling. Confetti was constantly fluttering down from the ceiling, as if the tiny pieces were snow themselves. Tables had been set up along the wall with plates, silverware, and all sorts of food imaginable. The Planet had made sure to include everyone's favorite food on the menu. The dessert table was huge. There was also a drink table nearby, complete with a bar and a few golems manning it to monitor the intake of drinks as well as serve them up. The Planet seemed to be either apologizing for all the people missing or wanting the remaining people to get together and meet each other again.... or perhaps it was a little bit of both.

Elves don't sleep. Because of this, the blond prince had heard the sound of the note being placed on his door bright and early. He knew, of course, from prior experience that when he got to the door and had it open, whoever had placed the note would be long gone. That didn't stop him from trying. He mischieviously hoped that someday, he would be quick enough. Call it a challenge to himself, but of course, when he got there, it was as he expected. The creature was gone, and all that was left behind was a note.

Wait, that wasn't quite true, was it? There was something else here. He frowned and picked it up curiously. A book. Quite pretty, actually, done all in green leather with leaf patterns embossed on it. He flipped through the pages, and shrugged as he brought it inside. Setting the book aside for a moment, he picked up the note.

It was an invitation. He read it through, then laughed. A party! That would be great, and just the thing for taking his mind off his little romantic situation problem. Speaking of which, he really did have to decide what to do about that... strange, though, because he couldn't find either of them. He looked for many hours, Mirage not being that large, he covered everywhere. Neither of them was to be found. He could find their tracks well enough, but when it came down to it and he followed them, it seemed that the two of them just... vanished.

He wasn't cheerful now, which was unusual. He was watchful. As he looked around, he noticed something else, something very alarming. There were fewer people around. As he made his way to the rooms with the party in them, he became more and more sure. There were people left, but not nearly as many.

It was early when he got to the ballroom, and he was the first one here. He would wait, and see who was left. Maybe someone would be able to tell him what had happened to both of the men he loved. Until then, he picked up a glass of honey-wine and waited.

Illyana had been neglecting her spell-casting of late, so she'd been awake at whatever ungodly hour someone had attached the invitation to her door. She'd been working on her talisman, hoping to improve it, when she heard the footsteps in the hall that stopped in front of her door. She tensed, waiting to see if anyone would knock, and wondering who in the world would be visiting when it was still mostly dark outside. Then, the footsteps had gone on, leaving her more puzzled. She'd finished the spell she'd been working on, adding another layer of protection to the talisman, before rising from her place on the floor and going to the door to see if whoever it was had left a note.

The invitation and book surprised her. Well, not really the invitation - she'd seen little notes on other people's doors, inviting them to all sorts of wintry activities, but the book was new. It was very pretty, bound in red leather and with gold-leaf edges for the paper. And all the pages were blank. Maybe she'd use it for making notes on her spells. She had only managed to work through a small fraction of the pile of books Elminster had recommended.

The invitation, however, made her smile. She hadn't been social, exactly, since arriving, and the few people she had met, she hadn't seen in a while. The resort was as big as the Professor's mansion, however, so she wasn't exactly bothered by that. She could go for weeks without seeing some of the X-Men at home, and they'd still be in the house. It all depended on what time everyone did things. And Illyana had spent most of her time holed up in her room, or out by the woods, adding to the snowman army.

So, a little later, after she'd showered and dressed, she made her way over to the main building and to the ballroom. She had a feeling she'd be the only one there, but she decided that a breakfast of party food might raise her spirits a little. She decided to leave the in-progress talisman in her room, rather than wear it out. In its current state, it wasn't going to be reliable anyway. Today, she'd get to exercise her own willpower to keep from loosing a demon.

She stepped inside, and blinked as she realized she wasn't the first person to venture to the party. A very handsome man sipped at a glass of wine across the room. She didn't recognize him, but the delicately pointed ears triggered some sort of recognition, like she should know who he was. It was sort of like that woman in Kitty's new group, the one who dated Captain Britain. Illyana couldn't remember her name at the moment. She smiled at the young man and walked forward, glad she didn't have as much trouble talking to attractive men as her brother did to attractive women.

"Good morning!" she said as she approached. She offered her hand. "I don't believe I've seen you around before." She stopped a comfortable distance from him and offered her hand. "Illyana Rasputin," she said, "I'm pleased to meet you."

Legolas, being a tracker, kept his eyes open. And he noticed something that concerned him greatly. There were many people coming in now, and he'd seen nearly all of them around. There were also a couple of new faces that he resolved to meet as soon as possible. But the really odd thing was that there were so many faces he wasn't seeing.

Perhaps it was nothing, but he would expect some of the people he knew to be at this party already. The beautiful lady Giselle, for one thing. She never missed a social engagement. It was very out of character for her to not be here. What had happened to her, and why were there so many fewer people around?

For once, he stood back at watched. He was the sort of being that normally would have been right in the thick of things, introducing himself, making new friends. But he wanted to observe this more. Something wasn't quite right.

Still, when someone approached him, he wasn't able to simply ignore that. He might be impulsive sometimes, but he was never deliberately rude. He turned to her with a smile, glad that she'd taken the initiative to come over and greet him. "Greetings, Lady Illyana." He accepted her hand and shook it in th normal manner, and then greeted her in a way that was much more typical for Middle Earth. He bowed over her hand and pressed a kiss to the back of it.

"I am Legolas of Mirkwood. May the Valar smile on our meeting." He released her hand, noticed that Marcus had come in and was headed for them. He waved in greeting, but when a young woman came up to talk to his friend, he left them to it and turned his attention to the pretty blonde at his side.

"Do you know what has happened, my Lady? It seems to me that something must have. So many are not here."
