Action :: Forward dated to Early Evening
[The Blood Shack has been redecorated for the evening. The lighting is red and the decor is very Moulin Rouge. The bar has had a facelift of sorts and in the spirit of a costume party is featuring 'candy' flavored shots such as Skittles, Sweet tarts, Caramel Apples, Nerds and Tootsie Rolls. All other 'normal' drinks are available at the bar as well as a selection of synthetic blood. The decor continues in the seating arrangements. The entire room, including the dance floor, stage and platform where Eric's throne sits is bathed in red light. Lording over the entire affair is Eric, dressed as a Viking king. Instead of the helm, he's got a crown made of gold foil and cardboard. His weapons are the plastic sort and he's opted to go bare chested rather than attempting to make any sort of chain mail. He has a faux polar bear throw across his shoulders and is wearing a long, blond wig as well as a fake beard.

Enjoy, mingle and come as you want to be.]

ooc:: Mingle, start threads and make general merriment. This is all pre-blackout. On Thursday evening, I will put up a post blackout thread. Any questions? Let me know

	[She finds an appropriate rhythm, and will lightly lay her head against his shoulder for a moment.] Me too. [She smiles, against the fabric of his coat.] I like it a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[His non-costumed hand slides up her back, resting between her shoulder blades.] It's not just anyone who can make me feel like I'm... [Normal. But he somehow thinks she'll get what he means.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[What he says gives her a pang in her chest, knowing that feeling so well. Feeling that feeling. So she tilts up her chin to meet his eyes, willing to gravitate her lips to his.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She's so close, she smells so nice, and her eyes are looking at him with that shine so he can guess just what she's thinking, and gods he just wants to close that distance.]

[But he's also very, very aware of how public this is, and how he hasn't looked around in a while to see who might be here because he can't sense her anymore...]

[Swallowing, he moves to nuzzle Raven's cheek with his nose, his lips lightly brushing the same spot. And then his lips move toward her ear to whisper,] How about a walk when the party's over? [Then, maybe he could feel a little less strange about wanting to kiss her.]

[She's almost, for a beat, let down when the kiss doesn't happen. But he's gentle still, and his words restore the tiniest slip in how she feels and she nods. Smiles, because that sounds -- better, private. Intimate, even. She flushes with a little color.] Alright.

Can we finish our dance? [Before parting ways for a little bit, like it sounds may happen. Not that she's against staying close and talking to him for the evening, but in case he wanted to talk to other people.]

	I wouldn't want to go back on my word. [So yes, finishing the dance. And if she likes the next song, maybe another, because he doesn't care if certain people see him getting cozy with this pretty woman, he does not care.] [His gloved hand somehow found its way beneath the veil of her hair, and his fingers are lightly curling and flexing, almost rubbing.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She leans a little into his hand, tilting her head just so.] You really are a gentleman. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_incurable 2012-10-24 04:19 am UTC (link)
	[He might have pulled his hand away when she leaned into it, if he wasn't feeling almost desperate to keep touching her which is a strange feeling indeed, for him.] I have to have something going for me besides impressive magic tricks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2012-10-24 04:38 am UTC (link)
	And good kisses. [She quips, giving him a wink.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_incurable 2012-10-24 04:43 am UTC (link)
	[His mouth works silently for a moment as his face turns bright red.] [His hand had paused itself in shock, but it gives her a little tug closer -- maybe so she won't be able to look at him directly anymore.] You just like making me react. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2012-10-24 05:48 am UTC (link)
	You're cute when you do. [She slides her arms around him tight, something like a hug more than a dancing arrangement.] I can't help it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_incurable 2012-10-24 06:04 am UTC (link)
	I am not. [But his protest is reasonably pathetic.] One day I'll figure out how to get you to blush on command and then you'll be in real trouble. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2012-10-24 06:12 am UTC (link)
	You could do that already if you wanted. [She says, nuzzling his shoulder.] With the right words. [Compliments do color her cheeks when she knows they're genuine.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_incurable 2012-10-24 06:16 am UTC (link)
	I'll work on it, then. [He hasn't noticed her blushing so much aside from the fact that it's really, really cute.] I have to get my revenge somehow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2012-10-24 06:24 am UTC (link)
	Whatever you do, don't tickle me. [She says, giving his sides a squeeze.] Because then it'd be war. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_incurable 2012-10-24 06:33 am UTC (link)
	[He chuckles, leaning down to give her a mock-serious look.] No promises. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2012-10-24 06:53 am UTC (link)
	Going there means no coming back. [Though her smile widens, and she almost leans to kiss his cheek but refrains and instead rests her head to his shoulder once more.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_incurable 2012-10-25 03:56 am UTC (link)
	A life sentence for tickling? Harsh. [He's blushing a little again, mostly because he recognizes this as flirting and when did he start doing that?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2012-10-25 07:51 am UTC (link)
	I can be gentle too, don't worry. [It's definitely flirting.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_incurable 2012-10-25 04:38 pm UTC (link)
	[Unbidden thoughts, relaxing together somewhere quiet, away from anyone's prying eyes, rise up in his mind. And he's gotta say, it's a nice thought.] I guess I'd better behave if I want to see that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2012-10-25 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	Mmmhmm. [Head resting against him again, she shifts and snuggles against his chest.] Do you want to take that walk sooner than later? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_incurable 2012-10-25 07:03 pm UTC (link)
	[Both his arms tighten very carefully around her, as if protecting something fragile.] I wouldn't mind. If you're ready to go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2012-10-25 07:13 pm UTC (link)
	I'm good. [The party's great, and there's always coming back to it, but there's no real reason keeping her there.] Let's get out of here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_incurable 2012-10-25 07:16 pm UTC (link)
	[Right. He unwinds his arms -- a little surprised that he let her get so close, honestly -- and nods toward the exit before motioning for her to lead. He somehow wants to keep her in sight, like she's a mirage that will disappear if he looks away.] Where to? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She's not shy about reaching behind her as she turns from him, snatching up his hand in hers and leading him off the dance floor. It gives her a little jitter, because even if they're just going for a walk, it feels like more with the way she's tugging his hand to lead him off. It's reminiscent of other reasons to leave a place together and it makes her a little flushed still, grinning to herself.] Let's just walk, and see where that takes us.

I don't mind just going where we go.
