231 is the exact number of cubic inches in a U.S. liquid gallon.

[Crowley sounds as amused as he often does whenever the castle sends fun little invitations to the residents in general]

Well, well. How about this. A masked ball. Those always go down so well. I wonder what horrors await for us in this one? I might be willing to go just for the sheer entertainment value when things inevitably go down the crapper.

So long as there's alcohol there, anyway. Best bring a hipflask with me just in case something needs to be spiked. [There's some page flicking going on]

'Celebrate the shifting of the seasons' yadda yadda. Sounds like a tree hugging thing, to me, but whatever. It can't be as bad as the fucking mice thing.

I should have known we could count on you to spike the drinks.

Dictated

[save_the_souls]

Do you think there will be food there?

[imalwaysright]

That "fucking mice thing"?

[persequor]

Tree hugging? [ Also listening in on his answer to "the fucking mice thing." ]

[onlyanapple]

I feel I have an obligation to keep the castle's alcohol levels at their highest, Ino.

forever!

[onlyanapple]

It would be a pretty pathetic ball if they didn't.

[onlyanapple]

A couple of Christmases ago there was a ball, and then mice soldiers showed up. It was all very Hans Christian Anderson.

[onlyanapple]

Yes, there are some people in the world who dedicate their lives to hugging and protecting nature. Especially trees. We call these people hippies, and they are bums and dregs of society, best to be mocked at all times.

[lord_wizard]

I have to admit I share you suspicions though I also admit it could be fun.

[echivoc]

Something always needs to be spiked.

[ino]

Is that your job? Official Castle Inebriation Enabler?

[onlyanapple]

I wouldn't call it a job. per say. More a...public service.

[onlyanapple]

Of course it'll be fun. Everything in this place is ultimately fun, even after it goes wrong.

[onlyanapple]

See? My point exactly. It's not a party otherwise.

[lord_wizard]

In a completely different way, though.

[echivoc]

The mice incident was ridiculous, by the way. [ Ridiculous and disgusting. Mice are so filthy, ew. ] Surely the castle can come up with something better than that.

[ino]

I'm sure the "King of Autumn" will be grateful for your service.

[onlyanapple]

As long as it's not the King of Winter, I think I can cope.

[onlyanapple]

As always. So, are you planning on making an appearance, Felix?

[onlyanapple]

Tell me about it. And I certainly hope so. That was a pathetic excuse for a party.

[ino]

Yeah, I'm not really looking forward to meeting him, either.

[lord_wizard]

I find it rather difficult to refuse, when someone so kindly asks for the honor of my presence.

[echivoc]

Watch the twist be that our masks cannot be removed for some time, or something silly like that.

[onlyanapple]

I wasn't even aware Paradisa was a kingdom until now.

[onlyanapple]

You know it wouldn't be the same without you.
