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

	[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.

	[A one-shouldered shrug as they exit the building and step into the cool evening. He doesn't seem that aware of her holding his hand even though in reality he's painfully overfocused on it.] Fine by me. [He looks at her, a dusting of pink rising to his face yet again,] You won't be too cold? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2012-10-25 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	If I need to, I'll turn this dress into a turtleneck. [Playfully said.] Though, for both our sakes, that might be more of a tragedy than its worth. [Wink~ing.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_incurable 2012-10-25 08:23 pm UTC (link)
	[He pauses fiddling with his costume, which look suspiciously like he was going to offer her his coat.] Oh. [And yes blushing more, congrats.] You'd probably still make it pretty, so... [you know. Whatever.] [He picks a direction and starts off, plucking the hat off his head and untying his mask and leaving them on a windowsill. He'll get them later.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2012-10-25 08:27 pm UTC (link)
	[Hey, she still finds chivalry hot. So, keep that in mind with your coat if you do feel so inclined later. Her abilities at the rate she's going will start affecting her at some point.] It's nice out, a perfect night for a walk. What's on your mind? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[On his mind, huh. The first thing that pops up is the unwanted (or so he'd insist) memory of Saber's face, cold and callous and cutting straight through him. He tries to shake the image away, because wasn't that the point of this, to forget her?]

[He smiles at Raven, a bit more subdued this time.] Nothing, really. The usual things. [He glances at her,] And how I normally wouldn't admit that.

	andproud 2012-10-25 09:12 pm UTC (link)
	Why? Think I'll be miffed I'm not on your mind? [Again, teasing and not entirely serious.] I was thinking, maybe, we could head towards the beach if nowhere else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
