[ VOICE ]

All things must end, good and bad alike, and I am of the opinion that there are very few things which are wholly one or the other.  

I've enjoyed my holiday here, all in all.  

Whether you've a mind to celebrate or to mourn, I invite you to stop by the Wolf's Den this evening.  As I can't take it with me, it seems fitting to clear the place out.  The effective end of the world seems an appropriate occasion for a party. 

Those who remain are welcome to fight over its bones, once I've gone.  



[ OPEN ACTION || MINGLE || PARTY AT THE END OF THE WORLD ]

[There are no decorations, there is not time for that, and really, that sort of frill has never been Isaak's style.  The place is lively, though; music is playing, people are mingling.  

The prospect of an open bar always brings people out of the woodwork, and really, who wants to be alone at a moment like this?]

[ooc: WHATEVER THE WORLD NEEDS MORE PARTY LOGS RIGHT?  This is a big ol' mingle, I'm turning off notifs but will give Isaak a thread below. Feel free to tag as you will for as long as you like to backdate last-minute party shenanigans. Whether you know Isaak or not. I WILL MISS YOU POLY.] 

Comments

[He just hums in agreement. Ah, well.]

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I do, however, owe you thanks for making my own time in the City slightly more tolerable.

[That could be a suggestive statement. It could also just be, well, the truth. It's always hard to tell.]

[defies_reason]

[Why only one or the other?]

Only slightly?

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I'm not quite intoxicated enough to be showering anyone with compliments. Give it time.

[defies_reason]

I'll take it as high praise, then.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

You should. I may even admit that I'll miss the pleasure of your company, once I'm back home.

[defies_reason]

You'll do all right. You've things worth heading back to.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

[He doesn't even attempt to hide the quiet little smile that flits across his face at the thought.]

I do. And, I should hope, so do you.

[defies_reason]

If I did, I wouldn't have to kill someone.

[Rather matter-of-fact. It's not that he's cold-hearted-- not at all-- but he's a realist as well as a romantic. Nothing, not even the City, can bring back Viktor; and without Viktor, really, there is little he could not replace.]

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Ah. So it's that type of vengeance.

[There are different kinds of vengeance, after all, some business, some personal, and this is obviously a personal one. He won't pry -- even at the end of the world, his manners are good -- but he can make some educated guesses.]

[defies_reason]

[An educated guess, really, is all the information he thinks necessary. Certainly it ought to inform his uncertainty about returning home.

So Isaak just hums an agreement, a brooding sort of assent.]
