In keeping with the low-key exterior of the Imperial Grand Rhy'Din Hotel and Casino, there are no search lights sweeping the sky, no throngs of fans, no paparazzi stalking the stars. A simple and discrete pair of orcs in tuxedos standing guard on either side of the hotel's main entrance are the only indication that anything abnormal is going on inside the luxury hotel tonight.
Once guests of the film's after party enter the hotel lobby, a subtle sign points party-goers to the top of the sweeping, red-carpeted staircase, which is where the Casino and its lounge are located, the venue for tonight's post-premiere party.
The Casino itself is unchanged. It is still a tastefully appointed room filled with games of chance, though the more exotic offerings have been shut down for the evening, leaving only the poker and black jack tables open, as well as the craps table and the roulette wheels. Even the slot machines have been shuttered and quieted, lending an additional air of understated elegance to the night's festivities.
Inside the Roulette Lounge, however, guests will be transported to a classic black, white, and red setting, over which reams of star-studded black velvet drape the ceiling and elegantly-laid tables surrounding the food and drink buffets.

The black and white theme has been carried even to the finger foods that are spread over the white linen tablecloths. On offer tonight are caviar on white toast points, warmed black olives with rosemary-infused olive oil, squid-ink pasta and risotto, black figs with bleu cheese and drizzled with honey, sea scallop ceviche nests, black rice with grilled chicken breast, and bowls of Pomegranate seeds and blackberries.

The dessert table, tonight courtesy of the Bon Bon Boutique, adds a dash of red to the decor. There are decadent chocolate cupcakes centered with tart cherry juice and topped with a dab of blood red vanilla icing; moist dark chocolate cupcakes topped with vanilla and chocolate swirled whipped cream topping and crumbled cookie; and chocolate covered strawberry shot glasses with a shot of Godiva chocolate liqueur.

The theme is carried even to the bar, which tonight is offering Black martinis, Black widow c*cktails, and absinthe, as well as beer, wine, and additional well drinks.
Party-goers are encouraged to mix, mingle, and try their hand at poker or black jack. The house's take for the evening will be generously donated to the Rhy'Din Relocation Project.
((Please use this thread to post your character's outfits and/or reactions to the after-party. This will be the live event for the film's premiere night. It will begin at 21:00 eastern, on 10 December, in the Great Hall, which will serve as the Casino and Roulette Lounge for the evening. The general public is invited and encouraged to attend! Hope to see everyone there!))
