If you're calling for business, leave a brief voice message and let me know what you need.

If it's personal, you know where I live.

If it's Alec, come upstairs, boo. I'm waiting for you.

Magnus.

[He looks uncomfortable.]

Uh, about Halloween.

[some shifting]

Just, uh, get back to me, okay?

[click]

[highwarlockmb]

What is it, darling?

[bottleblueyes]

What are you, uh, doing for Halloween?

[highwarlockmb]

We're throwing a party.

Ah. I haven't mentioned it yet?

[bottleblueyes]

[He was afraid of this.]

Uh, no, you haven't.

[highwarlockmb]

It's going to be very time consuming, not mention the energy that will go into the drinks alone. But anything worth doing is worth doing right.

[bottleblueyes]

Right. I'm sure it'll be... great.

[He hates parties. Hates, hates, hates them. And he has a sinking feeling he knows where this is going.]

[highwarlockmb]

I was thinking you could help with crowd control? Maia will be at the door. She's volunteered.

Nothing like a guard dog. {wink}

[bottleblueyes]

...uh, well...

[deep breath]

You really want me... at this party, I mean?

[highwarlockmb]

Of course I do. It'll be here, at our house. You won't even have to go out.

[bottleblueyes]

.........I'm not much of a party person, Magnus.

[highwarlockmb]

I know that. But it'll just be a few hours of one night. And I'll be there.

A majority of the people will be human, too, if that makes any difference. I'll be a minority.

[bottleblueyes]

It's still a party.

[highwarlockmb]

It will be my first in Somarium. It's been a year in coming, Alec. That's quite the milestone.

[bottleblueyes]

...why do you want me as crowd control? Have you seen me with crowds? Much less mundanes...

[highwarlockmb]

Then we'll leave it to Maia and Isabelle.

You can stay with me.
