It was a night to remember, a party held between Spring and December, and all were welcome regardless of House, station, or gender. Lights shimmered and danced along thin blouses and shiny pants, swirls of bawdy, colorful beauty tailored to entrance.

From the door a commotion was heard, from sea to sky, from fish to bird, repeatedly shouting- “A word! A word!”

“Your challenge has been beaten, by the Littlest Fox, for I am known as the master key to every door’s locks.” And held aloft triumphantly- were a human-sized pair of purple socks.
