The air in Pax Letale crackled with possibility all day Sunday. All week, excited chatter had filled the hallway and the forums; costumes had been carried in and out; speculation on what the party would entail were whispered. By Sunday, the energy surrounding the event held so much promise that it hardly seemed like just a Halloween party anymore; it was something more, and that sense was nearly kinetic.

The main ballroom in the haunted mansion that was The Empty Grave was expansive, but guests had already begun to arrive. When they entered, they found lush opulence withered and faded; grandeur, but with an eerie pall over it. It was perfect for Halloween - dark, ghostly, with a twisted Victorian edge to it. The bar was fully stocked, trays of h'ors d'oeuvres passed around and more substantial fare offered on ornate platters along one wall. A DJ was already spinning a mix of music that somehow managed to fit the theme and appeal to the eclectic demographic he was serving, and attractive (if ghastly) characters added flavor to the already colorful room.

The night had begun.

Whether their costumes or the company were to blame, Adam was pleased to see his friend opening up. He followed their back and forth with a broad, bright smile, only a fraction of which was due to his keeping in character. "You get used to it," he said to Prudence. He wasn't entirely sure it was true; from a young age he had been used to seeing injuries, including his own. It had perhaps inured him, to some extent, to things others might yet find disconcerting.

He nodded at Alexandria's assertion, not wanting to interrupt, but with his own questions all the same. "We can trade pictures," he said, giving a dark little laugh. "I have a few I can share from work. Maybe it'll give you some ideas for more 'wounds'."

One hand hooked around an elbow, but she showed no disinterest in what Alex was saying.

"Grad school. Mom was always on me for that, but I was always wobbly about it. Good for you," she commented wholeheartedly. The switch of topics to her work brought a warm smile to her face.

"Sometimes," she replied to the question of her working at home. "Depends on what it is, like a mask or a creature. And the building's been good so far, no complaints here. At least, no changes or mutations that I've noticed," she added the addendum, uncertain if Alex was talking about the rumors that Pru had heard of, and which Kami had expounded upon for her. She glanced at Adam for his suggestion of swapping pictures, raising a brow slightly in amusement.

"That'd be great, actually," came her sincere response, though Pru could hardly be lacking in the idea department. But this gave her an excuse, because she wasn't comfortable explaining that her ideas came from visions. Most people didn't cater to the idea that one could see the future, let alone predict accidents and the like. "You're both welcome to drop by my apartment - I don't have a fixed schedule, really, it's sort of helter skelter with my freelance work. But the door's open. Figuratively," she added, laughing a little at her stumbles.
