When Marc heard the door and doorbell, he smiled again to Kim.<br/><br/>"One of the hazards of being the guest-host." He pointed to the liquor cabinet along the wall of the living room, the kitchen just beyond where the cold beverages were kept in the fridge.<br/><br/>The living room was immense, and could be seen from all four floors of the mansion from the halls and walkways. The roof of the living room was the very top arches of the mansion itself, and the view was impressive.<br/><br/>He took a few long strides to the door to open it for Elizabeth. When she handed him the invitation, he grinned, wondering if he should indeed be checking for them, but had remembered "D" saying that this place was very unintuitive and out of the way to get to, which it had proved to be. Their benefactor had encouraged Marc, so that he may enjoy himself and not worry about guest duties, to not worry too much about keeping the front doors locked.<br/><br/>"So you were." Marc said. "Come on in. My name's Marc."<br/><br/>He hardly had a moment to escort her in when another car began winding its way up to the mansion. "The liquor cabinet is just over there, and there are some other interesting consumables in there as well." He said. He of course didn't want to assume Elizabeth partook in any sort of drugs, but the motorcycle didn't speak to her being absolutely against it, and he figured he'd mention it to everyone once. "Relax, and we'll have a great time."<br/><br/>Lexa walked through the entryway to the living room as soon as he had turned to go greet the newcomer.<br/><br/>"Hello there." He called to her, walking toward her. "Welcome to the party. My name's Marc." He smiled pleasantly when she broke the ice with him with a kiss on the cheek. He similarly explained that there was liquor, wine, and other inhibrients in the cabinet, and beer and other alcohols and mixers in the fridge.<br/><br/>When he was asked about the expectations of others coming, he shrugged. "I was told that we shouldn't worry about how many show up, just that there will be<em>just enough</em>. That being said, we'll wait a little longer before I give you a rundown of what I was told by "D" as far as when you all got here."<br/><br/>Just then, Madison arrived, and he introduced himself and pointed the same things out. He let everyone introduce themselves and mingle momentarily.<br/><br/><em>This is going just as "D" told me...</em>he thought, in awe.<em>I can't believe this is actually going down.</em>
