"You better," says Dragen Zaius to an unidentified woman, "after I caught you with the hockey team."
"May I present to you the Queen and King of the Ball," Andie says, announcing the arrival of the honored guests.
"Have you heard, good ladies and gentlemen?" someone calls out. "Our compatriot has taken the governorship of that barbaric land of California. Let us all give an Austrian toast to Governor Schwarzenegger!" Cheers and huzzahs ring out.
"Dragen," says Mistress Midnight, a full-lipped temptress in a Jezebel-red gown, "when you dance with me, I feel like I'm sixty-three again."
Alexis Patel chimes up: "Sorry for the newbie question: how do I turn off the names above everyone's heads, please?"
Upstairs, the famed Catherine Omega (and the title for her avatar now reads "The Catherine Omega") displays her elegantly cut dress-- and an equally elegant samurai sword. And as we approach 4:00 AM in Austria, I imagine a blurry-eyed hostess peering into this vision of a forgotten Europe, shared with her by people a continent away, twirling on the screen before her, re-invented anew.
(Event also co-hosted by Sarah Fate.)
