darling, it's better down where it's wetter, take it from me
Your invitation under the door comes handwritten in varying calligraphic, but complimenting scripts:
Our remembrance takes place at the pool this evening.
Accensa domo proximi, tua quoque periclitatur.
Don’t antagonize the eels.
The ambient light around the aqua centerpiece of the water is golden, thanks to what appears to be small will-o-wisps hovering strategically placed on the outskirts. Don’t try to touch them - they burn. Inside the water, there are indeed a pair of dark blue eels swimming around... but they're at the deepest reaches, at least?
Reigning over it all is a makeshift banner, comprised of several notebook pages taped together. In a careful calligraphy script:
ACTA EST FABULA, PLAUDITE!
There are three tables.
The first is food. There is first and foremost a decadent spread of fresh and dried fruit, as well as raw vegetables by some dip. Some delectable varieties of bread have been provided by Belle and are accompanied by some jam and cheese. For those that don’t want to put anything together, there are also triangles of monte cristo sandwiches from Oswald's suggestions. There is a simple, folded piece of paper acting as placard. The same elegant inking is there, if much more subtle: Consummatum est.
The second is drinks, the division between alcoholic and non-alcoholic made by another folded paper placard: Bibere venenum in auro. The alcoholic section is a variety of cocktails, but particularly a copious amount of wine pilfered from the Tip Top bar. The non-alcoholic side is predictably soda, water, and juice. There are also a few pots of brewed tea from Belle - get them while they're hot!
The final table sports every swimsuit that coat check and the pool room had to offer, along with sunglasses ( for what? Why, style of course ). The placard reads: Fortunae naufragium.
It may be a bit more lavish than Ratigan’s party, but there is one key difference - it’s all self-serve.

He's not going anywhere, darling.
Unless the offer is for two.

[Sarah absolutely does not stop, still trying to get close to Josh despite the sea witch. Winifred raises an eyebrow.]
You seem like a more rational creature than this one here.

[ Every end of Ursula's tentacles curl... Then one tries to provide a stalwart barrier between Josh and Sarah. Kiss her suckers, harlot. ]
Though... I can't help noticing you seem to be a woman of much more selective ends. I've already heard you're the Sanderson sisters, but who... are you?
no subject
Winifred Sanderson. The most charismatic of the trio.

Hello Sandersons, it's your buddy Rod.]
Hello again.

And I'm afraid we can't give you want you want, Sarah.

I assume you won't peacefully leave the hotel, then?

[ She makes a half curtsy, her tentacles splaying... and the one trying to shove Sarah back in the process. ]
Winifred, I can already surmise you're quite powerful. By the tides, look at you! If I didn't know any better, I'd say you fared less than a century! Sometimes that comes with a little subjection to summoning, I understand.
[ She glances at the candle demonstratively. ]
But you know, I think I might just have the solution to that little annoyance. You look like a woman who has taken up every bit of magic the land has to offer, but the sea is another beast!
And I'm happy to give it to you all... if you can possibly solve mine.
