Maisie sat alone in the corner, holding a mug stationary in front of her face. She was the first to arrive. It promised to be an interesting evening, but not one she would enjoy. She hadn't been around other deities in a very long time, and wasn't sure what to expect. The various tables were all pushed together in the middle of the room in a hodgepodge, and the music that ordinarily played had been shut off, perhaps as an accident, perhaps to highlight the weight of what was to come. Either way, the silence was unbearable. She was trapped with her thoughts.
