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 actually really appreciates the lack of snark. She wouldn't handle it as well right now as she usually does. His comment gets a smirk.] I'm not even going to ask for a list of other things they don't appreciate. [She holds out a hand for the bottle. it seems right she ought to get sloshed with Spike.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ He hesitates for the smallest of beats, if only because the idea of drinking with the Slayer like two old buddies is still so foreign to him. But... what the hell. Could be a laugh.]

So... your sister. [ Don't worry, this won't be horribly awkward. Maybe.] She seems awfully set on fast-forwarding me to whatever version she's used to. Between that an' Oz tryin' to recruit me into th' Scoobies... makes me wonder.

[Don't worry, Spike. It probably won't result in anything earth shattering. Your terribly askew moral compass will still be askew in the morning.

She takes the bottle from him while he talks, takes a swig, slightly less than the one before, makes the same drunk face and passes the bottle back before she responds.]

Dawn...[She squeezes her eyes shut tight, trying to decide if she was going to just go ahead and tell him or not. She really couldn't, not out right, not until she knew for sure he wouldn't exploit it.] was going through a lot of...fourteen year old teenage things [read 'key' things] and Mom died and I was...not dealing very well and I think Dawn felt really alone and you were there for her and then when I died a few months later...Willow, Tara, Xander and Anya had each other. You and Dawn...didn't have anyone but each other, so you kind of...bonded. Dawn loves you whether you love her or not. You'll always be that person that was there for her when she needed someone the most.

[She looked over to Spike.] Makes you wonder what?

[ It's difficult to say if he's used to this yet. Hearing tidbits about his future that doesn't add up with the present, only the more he hears the more he can see how it would've ended up that way. As much as he's clinging to the image of a ruthless killer Spike knows that somewhere deep down... he's more than that. He's got the potential for it. At the moment he's not sure if it makes matters better or worse — one too many blows to the head would be a more likely explanation after all.

He takes another swig, stalling for time. It makes him wonder about a lot of things. There's still a gap between now and then. How big he doesn't know, but last he checked he wasn't headed in that direction at all and he can't help but wonder if this is all the chips fault. Neutering him like a dog... yes, that must be it.

In the end he goes for something expected and non-personal. There's so much more to it though.]

How long it'll take before you drive me bonkers.
