[right][h2][color=ed1c24]Evening Before The Darkness[/color][/h2][/right] [hr] A four note tune chimed through out every hallway through the Begich towers signaling the start of an announcement. Margorie Bouvier's petite and faint giggle came over the speakers. She had been sitting on the lap of the mayor after a few drinks and was trying hard to keep her composure. [i]"Oh stop.."[/i] she insisted, pushing his hands off her and she cleared her throat. [i]"Good evening residents!"[/i] she exclaimed, her voice cracking at the end, with the familiar chuckle of the mayor heard in the background. Margorie continued, [i] "As you all may know, tonight is the last day of the month. Tomorrow marks the start of the annual month of no sunlight that we have all encountered while living her in Whittier."[/i] she continued, [i]"We'd like to invite every one up to the 14th floor into the meeting room where we have set up a little banquet of sorts for us to enjoy the company of one another before the hard, cold month ahead. There will be food and drink provided.."[/i] her voice traveled off as she thought of anything else to add. [i]"See you soon!"[/i] Slowly but surely the residents of the tower made their way up the stair case or elevator up to the 14th floor.
