Gathering: Halloween Gala

[concierge]

A large, decorative sign situated prominantly in the lobby reads:

The Nexus Hotel
proudly presents its
ANNUAL HALLOWEEN GALA

Formal Reception
Nexus Dining Hall
6 PM - Midnight

Monster Mixer
Nexus Basement
8 PM - 2 AM

Masquerade attire recommended for all guests

Most of the chairs have been removed from the Dining Hall to allow for ballroom-style dancing to the orchestra set up on the far end of the room. A polished cherry wood open bar is aligned along one wall. The adjacent Bistro is open for the duration of the formal reception, serving gourmet hors d'oeuvres.

Downstairs, the basement's largest storeroom has been converted into a spooky nightclub, complete with DJ, dance floor and cocktails.

"I was with someone who opened a door into what looked like Rome, but I was pretty sure stepping through the door and throwing prisms off my skin would end badly for me. Other than that, not much. Just the one that leads to the abandoned version of my hometown."

"Sorry," Chloe says, utterly sincere. She couldn't imagine not being able to get back home at all.

"Maybe you'll get there eventually, right? There's hope."

"There's definitely hope," Bella said with a smile and a nod. "Who knows, maybe someone else from home will come here, like your friends did? One thing I've learned here...anything can happen."
