Who: Anyone who went to the Topless Vampire Review at the Stratosphere, anyone who wants to show up later. There can be as many threads as you want in this! I don't care. Everyone have fun! I demand it!
Where: Jillian's! http://www.jillians.com/
What: Eat, Drink, Play! All of the above!
When: Laaaate. After the vampire show.

The vampire show, "Bite" had been, to say the least, interesting. It was exactly what it had promised to be: a topless erotic Vampire story. Jess had enjoyed herself and it seemed at the very least that everyone else had gotten a kick out of it. Alcohol flowed freely, dinner was excellent and now that it was over they had all made their way to Jillian's for some after hours fun.

She had been keeping an eye on Sam most of the night, quite happily, and was enjoying their time together as well as their time out with a group. It was almost normal. Nevermind that she was surrounded by vampires, vampire slayers, demon hunters, and a PI. It was one of the better social events she'd been to. Everyone was in the same boat and that made everything epically awesome. At least in Jessica's view. It was nice to let their hair down once in a while.

The place they were smelled of pizza and beer, the ringing of various games and pool tables was quite loud. Loud music, loud drunk people, good times to be had all around!

"Think nothing of it. It's my pleasure." She didn't know how happy her agreement made him -- and how much less worried. The sheer number of vampires (uncivilized vampires, at that) in the building made him nervous. Especially since at least one of them wasn't bound by daylight.

The question of the books made him frown. Those damn things. "Bits and pieces, and skimmed what was available online. Why?"

	"Did you happen to see the part where we get married?" Sookie asked him. In no way was she thinking about marrying Eric, but if they did get together she wanted it to be because they wanted it, not because of the dumb books. Not that Sookie was about to let a book dictate her life anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I saw something about that, but I didn't really delve into the details. It was to protect you, wasn't it?" For the same reasons as her, he hadn't been too keen on reading every little thing. If it happened, he wanted it to happen because it was their choice, not because of some book. At least they were on the same page there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"It was." Sookie said. But that didn't mean there were no feelings behind it, as she had sensed while reading the books. She didn't like that there was a series about her life out there, and all of the things that happened. "And what about the part where I'm part fairy?" None of those revelations had even happened for Sookie yet. She hadn't met Claudine, they'd barely gotten back from Dallas and through all that shit with Maryann before she was here.

	"You're part fairy?" he asked, dubiously, brows raising as he pulled back a little to look at her. A moment of consideration, then he shook his head. "That might explain a lot of things. Your abilities, for one, so I'm not surprised." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"And why supernatural creatures are so drawn to me. Not so much the telepathy though." Sookie shrugged. "For one thing, Jason doesn't seem to have any of that." But fairies were very appealing to vampires, or so she had read. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, fairies were appealing, to the point that even the oldest of vampires would lose their mind for a taste. "For what it's worth, you don't smell like fairy to me," he said, a low whisper. Slightly different from most humans, but he'd been around fairies before. It wasn't even close to the same scent. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"That's where the part comes in." She said. It was a good thing that she didn't smell like a fairy or vampires would never leave her alone. Still, it did give her a good deal to think about, especially what she had read about her parents. They'd been murdered by fairies. Sookie had always thought of fairies like Tinkerbell from Peter Pan, not as vicious murderous creatures.

	Eric himself had never harbored any of the same illusions: he was from a time when not only were the stories believed, they'd never tried to censor them. "I'm sorry for mentioning those books," he said after a long pause. Maybe it would have been better not to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	barmaidtelepath 2009-10-19 05:14 pm UTC (link)
	"Hey, someone would have mentioned them eventually." Sookie said, putting her hand over his. She didn't have to read them anyway. Her morbid curiosity had gotten the better of her, and Eric could not blame himself for that. She shrugged. "Besides there are worse things, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_northman 2009-10-19 05:17 pm UTC (link)
	"There are always worse things," he agreed, turning his hand beneath hers so that their fingers interlaced. "You know, for a night meant to be fun, we're certainly bringing it down." Serious conversations could do that, but he wasn't complaining. Only stating an observation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It has been fun, Eric." She told him, sincerely. "And interesting." She was moving into his house with him, and he was being a kinder, gentler, Eric...the kind she had read about in one of those books, only he definitely knew who he was.

"I thought it was funny." But then, Eric was often amused by the misconceptions humans had over vampires. It also explained why Fangtasia -- with all its props and goth decor -- was so popular, when, in some ways, vampires were more like humans than humans wanted to admit. Leather and lace certainly wasn't their style, but it sold the illusion. No one would pay to come see vamps in jeans-and-tees. Or, in Pam's case, pastel skirts.

"Do you want to call it a night?" To be honest, drunk humans weren't exactly his favorite thing in the world, and half the ones inside were determined to forget their own names. He might have felt differently if he could have indulged, but there was no point in debating that.

	"Kind of." Sookie nodded, in agreement. Since she knew what real vampires were like, it was interesting to see the fake ones. In a lot of ways, this place was better for vampires than back home. For starters, there didn't seem to be a Fellowship of the Sun here, which was definitely an improvement. "Yeah, actually." Sookie yawned. "I'm pretty tired." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

No Fellowship, but half a dozen (or more) professional vampire killers, all under one roof. That, more than anything else, had been the reasoning behind buying the house. Flimsy apartment locks wouldn't keep out the seriously determined.

He slid off the low wall, not yet releasing her hand. "Then I will take you home, and tomorrow, we'll go look at the house?" He made it a question, rather than a statement. She'd always hated that with Bill, and he was determined not to make the same mistakes.
