Surrender to the peace (open)
Dusk at the Defenders compound. Marlow stood barefoot on the grass in front of her bungalow. She had originally intended to go to the main house for dinner, but had to stop and watch the sunset. For days she'd felt a shift in the world. It had saddened her for some reason she couldn't put a finger on, but the magic won out. It had to go somewhere and if she didn't let it out there would be consequences.

While the sun sank into the ocean, Marlow's body rose from the grass to hover several feet above the earth.

There'll be a letter for Marlow when she checks, an invitation to a dinner party on the 13th.

When Marlow floats her way to the main house, she'll be surprised she had a message and happy it was from Corey. She loved parties. She'll call first thing in the morning to accept it.

"Are we taking up flying?" Syd asked Marlow as she floated into the main building.

Marlow gave that serious thought. "I don't think I'm flying," she finally said. "I'm just up in the air and using some repelling spells to move along. A strong breeze could probably blow me out to sea if I'm not careful."

She smiled at Sydney. "Am I late?"

"You're not on the ground, so flying," Syd said with a smile. "Unless you had something scheduled, you're not late for anything."

"Right." Marlow used a counter spell to lower herself to the floor. "I don't have anything planned tonight. Am I late for dinner? Is everyone gone?"

"Nope. You're not late for dinner. We'll be eating in about an hour. Everyone else...they're about. I think Hal is the only one not home."

And on the appropriate day, Corey will have the table all set, with the very best of both Italian-Brazillian fusion cuisine and local Creole dishes available, and, in the important religious function, little statues of the major gods in front of the plates. He'd made them himself.

After checking on each of his other guests, Corey sat next to Marlow.

"So, how's it going?"

Marlow unwittingly referenced a famous movie. "Did you feel a shift in the Force recently? Since that happened, I've been a little off balance but okay. How are you? What holiday are we celebrating?"

"...Nope, can't say that I did, but I'm glad you're okay, at least. The Epulum Iovis is a big divine dinner-party that serves as part of the Commoner's Games, celebrates everyday artistry and athleticism."

Any reason for a party, and Corey's food was good. Marlow reached out to touch one of his small sculptures to animate it for a few seconds. He did say artistic /and/ athletic.

"It's a fun dinner. You have a lot of holidays to celebrate."

Corey's eyes widen. "That is so awesome. Yeah, we've got a lot of holidays."

"Do they ever way thank you? They don't seem to have many worshipers left in the world. You'd think they'd take care of the ones they still have." She touched another one to see it move and pose.

She turned her bright smile on Corey. "I heard about an artists colony in Arizona and thought of you. I didn't see much art being created but there were a lot of shops."
