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

	[He shakes his head.] Dressing up isn't really for me. I'd probably end up looking silly if I tried. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	But that's part of the fun for Halloween. Everyone looks a little silly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	afreeman 2012-10-30 02:21 am UTC (link)
	It sounds like a fun celebration. [He... assumes that's what Halloween is.] Was that a wrong thing to say, then - to call your costume nice? Maybe I should have said "silly" instead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pechesagittaire 2012-10-30 02:35 am UTC (link)
	That was fine. People can look nice, or pretty, or scary, or silly... anything they want. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	afreeman 2012-10-30 03:01 am UTC (link)
	Hm. Definitely a nice celebration. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pechesagittaire 2012-10-31 03:02 am UTC (link)
	It's lots of fun. And you get to spend time with people you like. Or make new friends, if you don't know anyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	afreeman 2012-11-04 03:09 am UTC (link)
	Well, I'm sure you have many friends. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pechesagittaire 2012-11-04 03:29 am UTC (link)
	Maybe. [She could tell him right away the exact number of people she considered friends.] But, I don't think the number is really all that important. It's what kind of friend they are that really counts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	afreeman 2012-11-04 04:03 am UTC (link)
	That's a wise way of thinking. [Maybe not too surprising, if she's not human, what with that hair.] I couldn't have said it better myself. Then I hope you have good friends. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pechesagittaire 2012-11-04 04:07 am UTC (link)
	I do! My friends are very important to me. It would be nice to see them again. [No one from her world was here. Though, she did have a few people in the dome she considered friends.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	afreeman 2012-11-04 04:18 am UTC (link)
	[And he wishes that he could promise her beyond all doubt that she will.] There is a way out. We just need to find it. [Not a promise, but some hope. Newbie optimism, isn't it beautiful?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pechesagittaire 2012-11-04 04:20 am UTC (link)
	Maybe... I suppose it could still be possible. It just seems that everyone who tries keeps failing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Not the wibbly face! Way to remind him of his own little girl. He kneels to be closer to her level-- not touching her, but looking at her seriously and speaking more gently than before, almost quietly.]

I don't doubt it'll be difficult. I'm not even sure I'll be able to do it myself. But I've been in situations like this before, and I've gotten out. It's taken a lot of luck sometimes, and working together with others, but there's never not been a way out. People like the wardens... they keep saying it's impossible, so much so that after a while, everyone loses their courage, but it's important to never give up hope.

	[MOMO was good at the wibbly face. She was one of the few that could soften even Ziggy's heart, and Ziggy was a cyborg.] Yes. You're right. I just feel like I've been here a very long time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	afreeman 2012-11-14 03:53 am UTC (link)
	If it's been long, it's no surprise that you'd feel that way. [He's not going to ask exactly how long it's been. No use making her recall it even more.] Being in a foreign land at length is difficult for anyone, I'd wager. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pechesagittaire 2012-11-14 07:31 pm UTC (link)
	[MOMO nodded.] I would think so, too. Anyone I've talked to who's been away from home for a long time does miss it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	afreeman 2012-11-19 02:14 am UTC (link)
	[For him it's less "I miss home" and more "I miss my family and couldn't care less about home" but yes.] That's usually the case. [But he feels kind of bad talking about depressing topics with a child. During a party, of all times.] But there are good things about being away from home too, usually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pechesagittaire 2012-11-19 03:53 am UTC (link)
	Like what? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	afreeman 2012-11-19 04:34 am UTC (link)
	You get to see new sights and experience new things. [Nods to the crowd.] Like this party. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pechesagittaire 2012-11-19 04:46 am UTC (link)
	[She smiled.] That's true. I wouldn't be here otherwise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	afreeman 2012-11-19 05:02 am UTC (link)
	[Mission accomplished.] Are you having fun? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pechesagittaire 2012-11-20 04:05 am UTC (link)
	I am! [She brightened at the topic.] It's a very nice party. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	afreeman 2012-11-20 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	It is nice. [He doesn't like parties much, especially not the ones where he's a prisoner, but as far as those go...] It's much less rowdy than what I'm used to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pechesagittaire 2012-11-27 02:53 am UTC (link)
	Less rowdy? What kind of parties do you usually go to? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	afreeman 2012-11-27 05:21 am UTC (link)
	[The kind where very drunk Vikings try to out-macho each other. Erm.] ...In some places, there's a lot of competition for things like money and leadership positions. Whenever there's a party and people have a little too much to drink, those competitions can go overboard. I've spent a lot of times in places like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
