The World of Night

[Musicman247]

Steven looked at Helion's outstretched hand and said, "I'll give you the dagger if you can get me the blood of the Memie Helm....without killing her."

[Justice knight]

"Oh why does it have to not kill her," Lucifer grinned, "Wait it would probably be a bad idea, so yes don't kill her."

[The-Shadow-One]

"Not the deal.. But fine." Helion grinned, his legs made broad strides. "Hey Magi, wanna come with? I need a fellow." He called over his shoulder.

[Justice knight]

"Why not," Lucifer said catching up to Helion.
"Oh and you two kids have fun!" He called over his shoulder.

[Musicman247]

"I'm sure we will," Steven said, draping Hastur's arm over him as Lucy was in the custom of doing. Keeping us away from the Helm will give us deniability and hopefully an easy exit, thought Steven.

[The-Shadow-One]

Helion wandered the Manse, he went though the courtyard and a grand dining hall, tumblers, fools and stilt-walkers parcically littered the places, a buffet table the length of a football pitch stretched out to the front doors, Shrimp, cake and all kinds of fancy and sweet food were there, there was a chocolate and cheese fondue table as well. "Want anything grab it now." Helion said taking two wine glasses from a waiter's platter.

[Justice knight]

"As much as I want to..." Lucifer said, "Oh why not."
He took a small choclate of the table.

[Musicman247]

Steven looked around the party, then at Hastur. I wonder if she'd let me call her Shawty, he thought.

[The-Shadow-One]

Helion nodded and passed Lucifer the other glass of wine. "I recall Lady being one for a party within a party, Wanna crash it?"

[Justice knight]

"That will get us into trouble yes?" Luicfer said slowly sipping his wine, "Let's do it then."

[The-Shadow-One]

Helion smiled. "Excellent. You distract the guards I'll nick the little ones finger." He said waiving his way though a crowd of people outside elaborate doors, carvings of crowns and daggers were on it. Helion knocked on the door in a odd fashion.

[Justice knight]

"How do you want me to do this?" Lucifer asked, "Or should I improvise?"

[The-Shadow-One]

"Just distract them, be a nusicane or cause a scene. It don't matter." Helion said before the door cracked open. "Ah! Let me in! The Way to Whispers are not carved by crowns." The door opened enough to let lucifer and Helion in to the inner party, It was sparce with some people in there, Helion pointed at a Memie who looked like she had a few years in her bag, but she still looked elegant. "That is the lady of whispers."

[Justice knight]

"And those are the guards," Lucifer said, "Okay wish me luck."

[The-Shadow-One]

Helion smiled and nodded. "Break a leg." He said before almost seeming to vanish into the group of people, he walked towards Mena and waved. Mena frowned in shock.

[Justice knight]

Lucifer downed the rest of his drink before looking for a table to stand on.

[The-Shadow-One]

There was a fondue table nearby, so unless Lucifer wanted to stand in cheese he would have to make do other wise.

[Justice knight]

Lucifer cleared the fondue from an area of the table before jumping up.
"I'd like to make a toast!" He called trying to sound slightly drunk.

[The-Shadow-One]

Lucifer still stepped in cheese, His foot seemed to be eaten by the stuff. A drunk man raise his glass. "SPEAK FRIEND!" He yelled drunkly. Helion was almost at Mena while Lucifer had the guard's attention on him.

[Justice knight]

"I would like to thank our host!" Lucifer shouted, "The lady of Whispers, for our wonderful party!"

[The-Shadow-One]

"To the lady of Whispers! The one and true queen!" A man yelled drunkly. Guards approached him.
Helion was at Mena, he smiled sweetly and talked to her.

[Justice knight]

"But of course who can forget the guests?" Lucifer continued, "Or the guards that protect our lady- the ones who are forgotten but vital!"

[The-Shadow-One]

Helion smiled softly at Mena, they started to walk away, suddenly Helion twacked her in the back of her head and slit her palm, he put the empty wine glass under it.

[Justice knight]

"And that my dear friends is the reason for the toast," Lucifer finished, "For our Lady, for the guests and for the Guards!"

[Musicman247]

Steven could hear Lucifer shouting loudly and hoped that everything was going okay.
