[OPEN] Halloween Haunt at The Apothecary

who: Magnus Bane ([personal profile] appetitive) & anyone who'd like to come!
what: Halloween & Samhain party featuring transformative potions
when: October 31st at dusk through November 2nd at dawn
where: The Apothecary (formerly known as The Quarantine Bar)
warnings: please tag threads individually as needed!


The Apothecary's Halloween Haunt
For the entirety of October, The Apothecary bar has been and will continue to be decorated in deep shades of purple and orange, not to mention a whole lot of black and an array of convincingly grim yet decidedly elegant decorations. The real party doesn't start until the sun sets on Halloween night, stretching past the witching hours and through the following day in celebration of the lesser-known Samhain. From dusk of October 31st to dawn on November 2nd, the bar is alive with magic largely thanks to the menu of six alcoholic potions whose effects are posted on menus around the bar. These menus will be placed in clear sight with moving images of each drink so that guests are fully aware of their magical properties—if someone hands you a mystery drink, you're encouraged (but not obliged) to find out what it'll do to you before partaking. Each potion lasts an average of three hours, or until an antidote is drunk. And though multiple potions can be "stacked" by drinking them without an antidote in-between, party-goers will be cautioned that some potions may mix to create strange results. Luckily, the host will be attending from dusk to dawn in order to sort out any dangerous effects.

While the drink menu is the main event, there will be plenty of other ways to find some ghoulish entertainment. Tables are laden with a variety of both sweet and savory appetizers which all paying customers are welcome to enjoy. Because of the length of the party, the kitchen will be serving a limited menu of main-course items during typical mealtimes throughout the days. And because no party would be complete without music, there will be a "live" skeleton band performing jazz, rock, and the occasional but obligatory Halloween song upon request—please use this power wisely and save your fellow party-goers from two hours of continuous Witchy Woman.

Given that this is a Halloween party, costumes are highly recommended and will be rewarded with a free drink upon arrival. If you come without a costume, bartenders will recommend trying the Monster Mash or Werewolves of London potions in order to get you more into the spirit of Halloween. Though the bar will be dotted with large couches, plush armchairs, and piles of floor pillows, dozing guests will be encouraged to go home and sleep between festivities. If you're unable to handle over thirty-six hours of continuous partying, go enjoy a nap and then return to the bar for another round later on!

◇MONSTER MASH
FLAVOR
flat, warm; spiced rum, cranberry juice, grenadine
EFFECTS
Forget your costume at home? Don't worry, because drinking this potion while result in a full-body change into a classic Halloween creature, with a twist: it's either the sexy version, or the scary one. Though the drinker will be partially recognizable beneath it, the change can be a costume of its own. Some common transformations include but are not limited to: vampires, werewolves, zombies, witches, demons, and Frankenstein's monster
◇THRILLER
FLAVOR
flat, chilled; whiskey, bitters, sugar, orange zest
EFFECTS
If you're craving a change, this is the drink for you. The potion will bring about a random shift in the color of the drinker's hair, eyes, or both. Differences can range anywhere from natural shades to neon hues, as well as a variety of patterns and multi-colored or mismatched options. And don't worry, any facial hair you may have won't be left out of the fun!
◇TIME WARP
FLAVOR
flat, chilled; light rum, creme de menthe, lemon juice
EFFECTS
For those party-goers looking for a whole new perspective on Halloween, this drink offers two unique experiences. When sharing with another guest, knock the glasses together and drink simultaneously for a body swap. Feeling really adventerous? Get multiple people to join in on the fun! If you're drinking alone, you'll find that your biological sex will change from male to female, or vice versa.
◇WEREWOLVES OF LONDON
FLAVOR
sparkling, chilled; vodka, chambord, sparkling limeade
EFFECTS
Get ready to howl at the moon, or maybe fly off towards it, after trying this drink. Shortly after imbibing, partakers will manifest any number of animal traits, though all from the same animal. Perhaps it's as simple as a pair of bird's wings, or a full set of cat ears, tail, and eyes. The potion will pick up on any animal-like traits you may have, so snakes and rats beware.
◇I PUT A SPELL ON YOU
FLAVOR
flat, chilled; gin, vermouth, creme de cassis
EFFECTS
This potion is for anyone who's ever wanted to live out their dreams of being a teenaged wizard at boarding school. Though it may take a few tries to get perfect certain tricks, drinkers will be able to perform low-level spells with their hands such as: levitation, creating colored sparks, turning items invisible, elemental manipulation, summoning or conjouring items, short-distance teleporation, and a number of other simple tricks. (Any violent abuse of these abilities will result in immediate and forceful administration of an antidote and expulsion from the bar.)
◇HIGHWAY TO HELL
FLAVOR
flat, warm; absinthe, sugar, heatless fire
EFFECTS
Though this drink doesn't contain a potion, does it really need to when you're drinking something that's still on fire? This shot of absinthe, though adorned with a multicolored and edible flame, will warm you through and have you breathing the same cool fire for as long as it takes the sugar cube to dissolve on your tongue.
◇DON'T FEAR THE REAPER
FLAVOR
sparkling, chilled; blackberry syrup, cola
EFFECTS
These shots are free of alcohol and provide an antidote to every other drink on the menu. One splash of this delightfully chilled and refreshing drink will reserve all transformative effects as well as void all magical abilities. And though it is non-alcoholic, it does not provide any sobering qualities.

Well, I'd think something might be wrong with you if you were to pass up a good party, considering they're the only place you exist. [Izzy teases with a smirk.] Good to know you're not big on complaining, though. It's something new about you. [The shadowhunter winks, keeping her playful demeanor up easily; this is a party...and with social gatherings come social and playful Izzy.

Parties aren't where serious conversations happen, though, and Izzy's aware of that fact. So, she moves forward with the conversation, unable to help the amused tilt of her head.]
You think you're dating someone? I mean, that sounds great to me, but you might want to figure that particular thing out for sure.

Either way, congratulations? [Izzy teases, mirth in her eyes.]

[Jace raises an eyebrow and then smirks a little, holding up his own glass. Ice water with fresh fruit for flavor. He made a promise and he's including the potion drinks in that. For now.

He joins in drinking, gulping most of his water and eating a raspberry.]

Yeah, if I decide to stick my head in the trash can. [Okay, even if she just looked in the trashcan, but still. Alec's nitpicking leads to Izzy's playful waspish reply. It's really the spell's fault. Or something like that. She's not really upset with him, though, it's more of a game than anything else. Though, it is frustrating not to be good at something interesting like this.]

That...is definitely true. You're too...tall and don't have the grace I do to handle a whip. Izzy can't hold back the smirk on her face, though her tone is teasing; she can't imagine her brother wielding the whip successfully--the fluidity needed and the command isn't really his thing so much as the keen eye from a distance with.

Narrowing her eyes at her brother's actions she half expects him to make his own glass disappear. The red in his cheeks gives him away, though. And as she reaches for the rose, Izzy can't help but laugh.]
You're not any better at it than I am, at least? Neither of us quite have the flourish down. Suppose we need lessons.

I can't even imagine that, to be honest.

[A world without magic. He wonders what else he would miss if he found himself in a world so far different from his own. Of course, where he is now is very different, but full of fascination and beauty. Like something out of a book he would have read as a child.]

Where my family and I are from magic is as much a part of the world as air and water.

Izzy hasn't known Jack for all that long yet, but his particular brand of charm is definitely one that she appreciates. He's the sort of guy that stands out, even in a crowded party like this, and Izzy's glad that he's giving it a chance...even if he's not raving about the party yet. She has a feeling that it'll only get better, after all, she knows how to help built a party up. And that is one of the duties that she considers her's at this shindig.

For everyone, including Jack.

"Magnus is very talented with his magic and potions. I haven't tired the fire-breathing one yet, though." Izzy muses, her smile only growing as her handsome friend admits tat he was looking for her, especially considering the certain way that he says it with absolutely no shame involved. She may not know him well yet, but what Izzy has gathered about Jack...she likes. "Well, you found me...or I guess more accurately I found you even if I didn't realize it." Izzy laughs, still finding the way she 'found' him amusing, truth be told. "I'm glad you came."

Jack isn't the only one that doesn't get embarrassed. Izzy's confidence is almost second nature at this point. "I'd love to get a drink with you. So far I've only tried 'I Put a Spell on You'...and let me tell you...magic does not come very easily. Took me forever to just make my glass disappear, and I had to get a few tips to manage it." Izzy shares, amused at herself, while taking the offered arm and moving naturally toward the bar. "If you were curious about it at all."

Hey, I just wasn't sure if you needed some liquid courage to indulge in the magic stuff.

[Eddie raises his brows, and there's a hint of challenge in his voice, and teasing, just Eddie indulging in some competition, which is one of his favourite things to do with a partner.]

I'm in if you're in, Ramon.

[A little grin, and he picks up the menu, reading what he's signed himself up for - the Monster Mash write-up is interesting, and he hums, nodding and starting up toward the bar.]

Ugh, I hope it's not vampires. They're really clichéd, you know? I'd rather be a werewolf. Can you picture me with fangs?

[Grinning wickedly, he makes his way toward the bar, reaching behind him to catch Cisco's hand in his, tugging him along behind.]

Izzy's made it her purpose to help her brother-in-law with his party; she wants everything to go smoothly, and to look out for those that she knows attending. And lets face it, parties and social gatherings have always been Izzy's forte. so, when she spots the familiar handsome blonde standing off away from the crowd she can't quite help herself. Fringe flying on her flapper dress with her steps, Izzy can't hold back the warm smile for Draco as she sidles up next to the wizard, hand finding his shoulder, ignoring the obvious displeasure on his face.

"That is not the face of someone who is enjoying himself, Draco." Izzy takes in the tiny triangular ears, the eyes that were clearly lacking the feline slit, and then back to the frown marring his handsome features. "You look as handsome as ever, even with the newly added ferret features if that's what you're worried about." Izzy resists the urge to reach up and touch his ears, instead offering her smile again and squeezing Draco's shoulder. She'd almost think the features were feline if her brother-in-law's eyes weren't so...distinctive and if her brother hadn't added a kitten to the family.

"You can pull it off." She reassures, but is sure toack onto her statement. "It should wear off after a bit, but the antidote should do the trick if you really hate the look. Magnus made them readily available?" Izzy offers, lifting her eyebrows in question.

[Excuse your brother for being a show off, Isabelle, but you should already be used to that by now. Jace smiling smugly when Izzy's glass disappears and reappears in his hand.]

Maybe you just don't want it bad enough.

[He had to try at least one of the drinks.]

Bartending

[personal profile] withstyle 2017-10-25 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Approaching the bar and slipping close, Izzy's careful not to catch any of the bouncing tassels of her dress on anything. Though, that focus is secondary to something else. The petite shadowhunter's attention isn't on that so much as it is on Jace. Though her painted lips are in a natural, easy smile, she does shoot the blonde a look the second that she has his attention, slipping her elbow onto the bar and holding her head in her hand while she stands there.] You know, if you were having that much trouble with a costume you could have asked for my help, Jace. I'm pretty sure coming as yourself--a shadowhunter--is a little bit boring in comparison to the options I could have come up with.

[There's a teasing, dry edge to her voice, but also amusement there. Alec's an angel, Magnus a cat, and Jace...a shadowhunter. Izzy can't quite help the amusement on her part because each of them chose something at the very core of who they are and though they all look great--they always look great--Izzy knows she could have offered a little more variety to help.] Part of the Halloween fun is to be someone, or something, that you can't. No matter how good you look, or how well you pull of your normal look. [Izzy says playfully, unable to help but poke him...it's one of her things as little sister, gesturing to herself. Though, her own costume is more about variety than wanting to exist in the 20's.

No woman...anywhere...ever...should want to live in the 20's, despite the interesting fashion pieces.]
Also, I'll have 'I Put a Spell on You' if you're actually bartending. [She winks.]

[ Cisco raises his eyebrows, too, a nonverbal expression of is that how it's gonna be? It's always fun, when Eddie cuts loose enough to get like this. A lot of the time Eddie gets wrapped up in these scripts in his head, things he thinks that he is Supposed To Do in order to be the Ideal Boyfriend. So when he lets go of that, long enough to let this side of himself show, it always makes Cisco that extra little bit happy. ]

You're on, Thawne.

[ He leans on the rhyme a little, before sauntering over to the bar with Eddie. He laughs at Eddie's distaste for vampires - there's gotta be a story there. Maybe he dated someone who was super into Anne Rice or something like that. Whatever the reasons, he says: ]

You'd make a fucking amazing werewolf.

[ Cisco ends up getting in closest to the bar, leaning forward and ordering the two drinks they'd chosen. It's not all that crowded, yet, so it's only a moment or two before he's got one drink in each hand. He gives one to Eddie, touches the glasses together in a brief toast, beaming: ]

Bottoms up, here goes nothin'!

[ And Cisco knocks back his potion, which tastes mostly of orange and burns like whiskey going down. He doesn't feel any magic working, but he's not sure if it's a dud or if it's not something you can feel. Eagerly, he asks Eddie: ]

Do I look different?

[ The only change is a subtle one - Cisco's irises have shifted from a dark brown, generally indistinguishable from black, to a deep, rich purple color. ]
withstyle: (suspicion)

[personal profile] withstyle 2017-10-25 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Do you want me to punch you? [Izzy asks, turning her gaze to the smug blonde and narrowing her eyes in a pouting frown. Alec and Izzy were discussing this subject the other day. Jace's unnatural ability to be good at a number of things, though maybe not everything, even if she can't offer anything he's genuinely bad at off the top of her head.] Because I'm not above it, even at a party, Jace.

[Though, she wouldn't really. Even if it's tempting. Focusing on his hand Izzy stares a moment then looks at him expectantly.] Well? How'd you do it? And how are you good at this already? [Izzy tilts her head and then gives her brother a look.]

Did you practice earlier to show off or is that your first drink and try?

Looking Great as Jace since forever!

[personal profile] wayfaring_stranger 2017-10-25 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Jace had considered a black tuxedo with top hat and skeleton face makeup, but as good as Izzy looks in her flapper dress maybe he should have chosen to be a gangster in matching period costume.]

Brilliant, beautiful, fashionable, as always, Izzy.

[He slides her chosen drink towards her and goes back to cleaning glasses.]

What would you have suggested as a costume?

[He's curious and having seen Magnus's and Alec's costumes he's regretting not having made more of an effort. Even if he likes being a Shadowhunter and looks great in black. Especially the t-shirt that is a bit snug around his biceps and chest. His pants hug his butt just right, too. Not that he had checked himself out int he mirror before coming tot he party.]

It has been a while since we trained together. [Something he plans to remedy. Soon. He's feeling a bit out of shape and sluggish. Which is uncomfortable and dangerous if anything were to happen.

Jace holds out his hand, focusing on the glass, and then past it to Izzy.]
Imagine reaching out with your hand, wrapping your fingers around the glass, feeling it against your skin, the weight, the smoothness, and simply take it.

[Cisco's response to his challenge makes Eddie grin. He can't help it, this is one of those things that he enjoys to no end, playing at competition with someone he cares about who he thinks of as an equal. Holding onto Cisco's hand, he laughs a bit when Cisco manages to get to the bar before him - it figures, Cisco's a lot more attractive tonight than he is, he thinks.]

Figures you'd beat me to it. You're definitely the hottest person here.

[A little wink, and then he's tossing back his own drink at the same time as Cisco. The flavour isn't his favourite, or rather the temperature isn't. It would be great cold, he thinks. Either way, though, he swallows it down and raises his brows, looking over at Cisco.

He sees it before Cisco can even comment, the subtle change in Cisco's eye colour, from that familiar dark, dark brown that Eddie's lost himself in so many times to something different, a bit lighter, and slightly different in tone. Leaning in, Eddie squints, and then grins brightly.]


Oh man, your eyes are purple now! It goes so great with your eyeshadow and suit, I'm not even kidding. What about me? Do I look different?

[And the truth is, he does, his skin going a bit more grey in tone, his eyes a bit red around the edges. And maybe he's noticing that Cisco he can smell Cisco and Cisco smells good in an entirely different way than usual, but he doesn't connect the dots just yet.]

[Taking a step forward to help give Jace more clearance, he tries to fight back the blush that warmed his face. As he moves, the wings shift out of Jace's way automatically. He always knows how to move to accommodate his parabatai whether he has wings or not.

Looking over his shoulder, he stretches the wings to almost their full width.]


Yeah. They're sensitive in spots, but it doesn't hurt.

If you jumped with me, then I'd have to fly to save you.

Did you expect anything else? [It's a tease, of course, but anybody that knows Izzy knows that she doesn't leave home without feeling fabulous--and generally looking it, even in something simple. Though, it is all about the way that you wear something. Her confidence is unwavering, and that's how she looks so good.

Taking the drink, the petite shadowhunter takes a sip, studying the blonde for a moment. As if she hadn't already thought about what costumes Jace could wear. Obviously playing dress up with the boys isn't her life, but it isn't hard for her to come up with something.]


Suggestions might have included, but not been limited to....a pirate--you'd have gotten to keep the facial hair and black going on. [Izzy's eyes go over her fellow shadowhunter, in thought.] You wouldn't have made a bad mobster to go along with me. [She winks, playfully, with that one, continuing on without missing a beat.] A cowboy could have been fun too....

[Izzy shakes her head, jokingly before taking another sip. It goes without saying that none of those costumes would have been stock, considering who he lives with....between her and Magnus, he really could have done it all up if he'd wanted, as it is, though....she is just glad that he's here.] Missed opportunity, but there's always next year. [Izzy's eyes twinkle with mirth and her nose wrinkles with humor.] Having fun bartending?

[ He might be skeptical if it were anyone else, but Eddie's not the type to troll him, and Cisco had seen it in Eddie's face, that he was noticing some change. Not his hair; Cisco can see that just from his peripheral vision. It must be his eyes, then... something that Eddie confirms when he explains. Cisco grins, lopsided and disbelieving at first. ]

Purple eyes? Are you for real? That's pretty dope actually...

[ He can see how it would go well with his costume, and he's glad, feels suddenly very good about this whole magic potion experiment. The change coming over Eddie is more subtle and gradual than he expected. The lights are dimmed for the party, so it takes a moment or two of squinting to realize that his skin has shifted color, that the whites of his eyes are so white anymore, and... ]

I think you might be a zombie, babe!

[ Cisco says it jovially enough, though a tiny flare of worry appears in his chest. No way of telling if this will disappoint Eddie, or make him sad. A werewolf would've been easier. Eddie isn't a werewolf. But he is, well, technically speaking, dead. Cisco slips a hand against the small of Eddie's back, looking at him, still smiling but watching for any signs of distress. ]

But like, in a cute way. Not you know, rot-y or gross. How's it feel?

[personal profile] wayfaring_stranger 2017-10-25 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly. [Jace smiles, teasing Alec. Teasing him helps him to focus on keeping his heart from beating too hard, too fast, when he reaches out to slowly and gently touch the spot right between Alec's new wings.

From there he slides his fingers against the feathers, following the joints and feathers, admiring how beautiful and real everything feels.]


You really are an angel, Alec.

[He can't help himself and lightly brushes his fingers from the nape of Alec's neck down his spine.] The gold is a nice touch.

You know I'll make time to train with you any time you want me to give you a run for your money. [Izzy teases, a smile pulling at her mouth. If there's one thing about sparring and working out with Jace...well, he makes you work for it. She's never come out of training with the blonde feeling like she didn't work her damnedest to improve and get better. And he may be one of the best fighters, but Izzy isn't someone that can't hold her own either.

Plus, it's fun. That's something that some might not get. But they, as shadowhunters, do.]


Are you giving me a training exercise here, Master Jace? [Izzy teases, looking at Jace's palm for any sign of the glass itself,but it's imperceptible to her eyes at the moment. Her luck with magic hasn't been great so far. Much as she might know about it's affect on a body, this is something wholly different.]e Also, you didn't answer my question. [Izzy points out, moving her head for a different view of his hand, the feather on her headband dancing with the movement as she measures the height of the invisible glass in her head, calculating the weight mentally and trying to imagine herself reaching out to grab it--knowing that Magnus wouldn't have any glasses with imperfections, so no knicks, just smoothness.

And the glass becomes visible...for all of a moment, flickering to sight before seemingly vanishing again.]
Close, but no dice, hmm... [Izzy muses, eyes flickering up to Jace's face. Much as magic may fascinate her...science is way easier sometimes.]

I am for real, and it actually is super dope.

[Eddie deadpans it as best he can while his eyes shine with amusement at how ridiculous he must sound. Once it's out of his mouth, though, he gives in and laughs softly, shaking his head. Another gulp and his drink is completely gone, he puts the glass back on the bar while he keeps admiring Cisco's eyes.

When Cisco leans in to peer at him, Eddie takes a deep breath, eyes going a little wide, and that inhalation gets a whole big whuff of Cisco's scent into him again. In response, his stomach growls, and he can't help a little grin. It's gotta be werewolf, it's gotta, what other monster would be hungry for human flesh and have this good a sense of smell?

Then Cisco says he thinks he might've gotten zombie.

For a moment, Eddie blinks, a little startled, but then he laughs, looking down at his skin as it goes grey, as dark veins appear on the back of his hands and, he imagines, on his face and everywhere else too.]


Wow, I'm gonna trust you on looking cute, but like...when I say you smell good, Cisco, I mean it in a whole new way.

[A pause, during which he goes dead still, then he jerks back into motion, grinning and looking over at Cisco.]

We should take a selfie together.

[ That strange, twitchy movement is... odd, and a little startling the first time, but it doesn't seem as if Eddie is unhappy. Surprised, maybe, and a bit hesitant, but not morose or depressed. That eases Cisco's worry, somewhat, and he watches those strange dark veins appearing across Eddie's skin. A tiny shiver runs up his spine. He doesn't think he would like it, much, if Eddie were this way permanently. Or for more than just a little while. But for a couple hours, at a party? It's spooky, and strange, and fun. ]

You're not gonna try to eat my brains, right? 'Cause I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be good for either of us.

[ Eddie's request for a selfie is, however, easily fulfilled. Cisco tucks himself in close to Eddie's side, pulling up his phone and finding just the right angle, looking up and beaming as he snaps a few shots.

When Eddie gives another of those small jerks, Cisco wraps his arm around his lower back, a touch of concern coming into his voice as he asks: ]


Are you sure you're okay, baby? I can get you an antidote if it isn't fun, and you can try a different one.

Izzy practically radiates fun and confidence. It's not at all difficult to see her filling the role of hype man. She's a person you want to please, and she's a person who looks the most pleased when people are letting their hair down.

When she takes his arm, he begins leading her toward the bar, intending to first have her try the absinthe drink he'd been offered on arriving. Though, the one that gives magic sounds cool. The one that swaps bodies also sounds interesting, but he's not sure if Izzy is quite that adventurous.

So he starts with the fire breathing, ordering two and waiting patiently for them to arrive. "So this is the kind of thing that happens all the time where you're from? These are your people?" It's not a judgement. They're all from different worlds, they all have different expectations and different ideas of safe and normal. If these are her people, they seem like a lot of fun.

[There was a nod of her head. She wasn't used to gatherings where she knew maybe one or two people? Or a gathering that was this loud and filled with people. Either way, she's fine with being in the shadows, maybe exploring the different treats the place had to offer--but no alcohol.

She blinked a little hearing that his sister and brother wanted to meet her. Rey nearly asks why, but the question is withheld.]
I wouldn't mind meeting them....

[Assuming they weren't busy doing anything else. Or, was she over thinking things?] But I mean with Magnus, I don't want to bother the host. [Okay, she really was over thinking things.]

You never did say what your 'kin' were. Tribe? Or a specific group of people? [She was about to say species, but she's assuming he's humanoid. Or a version of it...]

So that's a definite 'yes', gotcha.

[ If it were anyone else, Cisco would take that opportunity when Taako buries his face in his hands to hug him, but he figures there's no need to push his luck quite that far. He really doesn't want to end up as a cockroach in a bottle of tequila, thanks very much. And while he does think those threats are hollow, he has no desire to actually make Taako uncomfortable. At least, not seriously uncomfortable. ]

Alright, alright, no need to waste a spell slot, I'll drop it.

[ ...In a moment. He just has one more thing he wants to get out, first. The teasing tone leaves his voice and he says, all warmth and fondness, now: ]

Seriously, though. You were a cute kid, and you seemed... really happy.

[ It had been nice, for once, to see something happy. Especially of Taako's life, when Cisco had seen so much that was bad. ]

Let's find another way to test my wings. [He knows that Jace is teasing. They'd moved past the 'let's jump off the rafters' phase of training once they realized broken bones weren't fun even with runes to help with the healing and pain.

As soon as Jace touches the spot between his wings and most of the tension he's been carrying eases. The wings begin to sag downward before Alec forces them up again. He goes still as Jace's fingers brush over the feathers.]


I'm not an angel but until Magnus reverses the spell, they're as real as his marks.

[Their family is the only ones who would understand what 'marks' meant so it's safe to mention them. Shivering when his parabatai's fingers slide along his spine, he's surprised that he can feel so much through the fabric of his jacket.]

The suit or the wings?
