♣•'Da Ballroom Boogie: A Gatherin' of Ghouls n' Souls•♣ - ♦A Royal Party♦

Ah, today was nothing but sunshine n' skulls for the Queen of London. While the skies may be bleak outside thanks to London's truly horrid weather, the air still buzzed with rays of happiness throughout every corridor of the Royal Palace. Why you may ask? Well, today was going to be a special outing for those within the echelons of Shadow Fall and The Royal Asthavon family. The Queen of London, whom also acted as the Queen of Demon World, had arranged a get together for those whom made up the bulk of these two factions that contained extraordinary warriors of capable of raining hell down upon all those whom dare become enemies of these people. However, today that energy was going to be spent getting to know each other, strengthening all of their satanic bonds and ultimately just unwinding from a long streak of chaos, destruction and mayhem they cause on the daily bases throughout London. After all, even bad guys need a time to recover, eh?

With the workload these people have fighting against Earth's special forces, it was probably wise to gather up together up in the first place. In fact, this meeting would be the perfect opportunity for all ranks alike within Shadow Fall or the Royal Asthavon Family to exchange any information to whomever they wished in this party setting. Any questions, concerns, new intel or just to shoot the shit. 'Cause In this place? It really didn't matter what ya were here for; it was all to get people to catch up with one another. So, without further adeu, Mana had began preparing the place in order to accommodate a large party as droves of Royal Demon's, Shadow Fall Operatives and security forces from all throughout London had began to pack the entrance into Mana's palace. It really made her put a pep in her step as she was seen skipping all throughout the hundreds of hallways that comprised the Royal Palace. Today was going to be a good day. No..today was going to be a GREAT day! So much so, there had to be a bit of humming action going on in order to contain some of the sensations of anticipation she had for this little party of hers.

"Time to party, time to party. Bring all the ghouls n' gals to the center of town square! I say; bring 'em all, bring 'em all, bring 'em all! Bring them all to Town Square and boogie about throughout the night air and into the morning rise as we sing our ghostly song." Giggling a bit, by the time Mana had finished her cheery tune, she had reached the central location of her palace where the festivities would be have. Stepping through a massive door decked out in chains n' skulls, Mana entered a room that seemed to contain three throne chairs, countless Romanesque windows against the walls and very lush red carpet. "So much control..." Uttered Mana, shivering a bit as she begun to use her demon magic to start her alterations to this palace for the party. You see, much like Mana's physical appearance, everything in this palace was relative and but a fleeting moment in time. From the furniture, to the walls, to the floor, to the ceiling, to the room and even the people who dared entered it's chambers. Anything that could be stored in the Queen's Palace, was anything that could be easily altered and changed at a mere whim of the Queen's desire.

Thus, leaving on that mental note, Mana went to town making the adjustments for the party. Firstly, she began to manipulate the dimensions of the room thanks to her rather potent Demon Magic. This was done in order to make entire dwelling large enough for the vast numbers of bodies whom would be going to attend this ball. The second change that was made was that there were hundreds of chains, pumpkin heads, daggers, swords and skulls that began to hang from the ceiling in order to give it that charming Gothic architecture Mana seemed to be so very fond of these days. After that, it was bit a stitch to bring forth hundreds of tables that had an assortment of delicacies for all guest by simply having a series of shadow's enter the main cooking area of the palace and having them summoned in party room. "Oh, how could I forget my special guest!" If that wasn't a sign this was about to take a turn for the worse, then not even god almighty could find one.

Once those words had been uttered, there was a special section in the left corner of the party room that had series of tables which had Shadow Fall prisoners committed of going against the Queen, fighting against her reign or otherwise causing major problems for Shadow Fall. They were seen hanging from the walls on chains, strapped to tables with their mouths sealed shut and all of them were stripped bare as Mana giggled a bit from a far. "You guys are going to be a special treat for my boys who love to eat their food raw." And did these "boys" ever had a variety of beings to choose from. Human's, Demon's, Shinigami, Arrancar, Sugiura and Iramasha alike had been accumulated within the ranks of their prison system. And, with a good number them being very tamed and sedated at this point, they didn't even have sense enough to respond in fear. Most of them seemed dazed, a few seemed to be in fear of their life as the drugs didn't appear to have effect on them and a few had just given up hope altogether if they weren't otherwise unconscious for the whole ordeal that would lead to the end of their life at the hands of a hungry beast.

"See ya later boys~" And with that, Mana skipped to the throne section of this banquet room. "I believe it's time to open the gates of hell and gather the masses into the party. Let's OGGIE BOOGY!" Words spoken into the universe like an iron hammer, The Queen clapped her hands and the entire Earth seemed to shake in the wake of her command. All those outside seemed to be slightly caught off guard, but most who had any sense of combat or spiritual energies knew that this was just Mana's little welcoming. As such, those who could perceive such things would watch as Mana's energy spread throughout the entire Royal District of London and engulfed the deary overcast sky into a dark night through simple control of magic that caused alterations to the weather within a given range. And, since this wasn't for anything but theistic's, it was a rather simple task for someone of The Queen's caliber of power.

"C'mon, c'mon', c'mon Sugah!" Waving her hands around like a maniac, the main doors of The Royal Palace would finally open for the common public to enter her social get together. Finally, after all the prep had done, the fun was about to begin and the people were going to spice up London's night scene. Group by group, hundreds, if not thousands, of people started following signs, ghouls, skulls and armored men that guided them towards the room that would ultimately point them in the direction of Queen of Demon's. All had been planned, the people had been assembled and the only thing left to do would be to kick back and watch the show. So, with a content smile on her face, Mana would summon the skull of one her former enemies on the battlefield. This person was nothing more then a Mayor of some Podunk town in Demon World that tried to plot against Shadow Fall, so Mana figured he was serving a better purpose being her container for the evening.

"Welcome, Ghouls of Hell!" Would be her greeting words as the first wave of masses entered the room. "I hope you lovely boys n' gals will enjoy my waltz through the darkness of the night. Take a seat, pop a chair, bust a move or sip some booze; it doesn't matter darling. I want you to get comfy, take a step back and unwind with me tonight." Having the skull's mouth now become filled to the brim with sweet wine that was infused with his wine, Mana proposed a toast to all those in the room and smiled greatly: "So, without much further saying, let the party of Hades begin my minions, my companies, my followers, my allies, my chums and my follow damned soldiers." And so, uttering those words, the party would now commence as the celebration straight out of hell had begun.
