"Oh, Angelique, can I squeeze in here?"

"In that dress? I doubt it."

Angelique Le Chien and Narcissus Darling eyed each other for a long moment.

"I'm Marie Antoinette," Narcissus said, tossing her head. "My costume is entirely authentic. And you're...the whore of Babylon?"

Coldly. "Elizabeth Bathory."

"Famed for stealing the achievements of younger, prettier women. It suits you."

"Thank you. I hope you do remember what became of Marie Antoinette?"

There was another, deadly pause and then they smiled and exchanged air kisses. "It's good to see you again, Angelique."

"And you. It's a good turnout, isn't it?"

"Yes, it looks like everyone....wait, is that April Dancer over there?" Narcissus stared, disbelieving.

"Oh, no." Angelique smiled.. "That's Dr Egret's idea of a fun costume. Let's just not ask, hmmm?. So what are you hiding from anyway?"

"That pig Elom is looking for me again. He's just over there behind that man in the opera cloak."

"That's Zark. Don't make eye contact, whatever you do. Oops. Sorry, darling, looks like Elom's spotted you."

He came up to them, dressed like a self-conscious Zorro, planting slobbering kisses down her neck. "Narcissus. If I didn't know better, I might think you were avoiding me."

"Would you care for some punch?" Angelique offered, holding out a cup.

"Thank you," he said. "I like to get my appetite whetted."

He took it, drank it, and slowly toppled backwards onto the floor.

Daintily, Angelique kicked him. "Don't worry," she announced brightly to his shocked henchmen. "If he gets the antidote within, oh, the next two hours, he should be fine."

Across the room a gunshot rang out.

Narcissus turned. "Looks like someone tried to grope Dr Egret again...."

Angelique shrugged prettily. "It would hardly be the annual THRUSH halloween party without a couple of dead bodies."
