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

	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)

	[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)

	[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.

	Like what? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You get to see new sights and experience new things. [Nods to the crowd.] Like this party. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She smiled.] That's true. I wouldn't be here otherwise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[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)

	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)

	pechesagittaire 2012-12-01 05:42 am UTC (link)
	Oh. Those do sound like rowdy parties. Did you go to them often? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	afreeman 2012-12-08 07:20 pm UTC (link)
	Not very often. I'm not that much for parties, especially rowdy ones. Something more quiet like this is much nicer. [The irony of all this taking place just before the blackout and all that follows.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
