BALCONY: Raine & Enoch

"It's a Halloween party thrown by two Waldingers. Of course you're supposed to trick people." But only a handful of people really knew what to expect tonight, and Enoch deliberately kept Raine from being one of them. It would've been a little too easy if he knew he could wear anything and the mask would make his costume look good.

Enoch is about to explain the intricacies of the anonymity illusion when the touch on his cheek scatters his thoughts. He wonders whose face Raine sees when he does this—and ah, there it is. Enoch is jealous, as irrational as that might be. He closes his eyes, concentrating on the illusion centered on his mask. This might be Doc's tech but it's his abilities powering it, and it takes little effort to pull at the anonymity strand saying everyone and weave in a new one that says everyone but Raine instead. When he meets Raine's gaze again, it's Enoch's eyes looking out from behind the starry mask, and Enoch's voice saying, "Less exciting now?"
