Day 220 Action | Video Open
[Evening falls, finding Eric at the Blood Shack as per usual. There's a bit of a subdued manner about the entire place as well as it's host. There are hurricane lanterns lit and scattered about the room. In preparation for 'what if' there are large tubs with ice in them. Bottles of beer, soda, water and even liquor are sunk down into the ice. There's a chalkboard menu behind the bar advertising Hurricanes, Blood Hurricanes and a small assortment of bar food: pizza, buffalo wings, cheese sticks and something called a Blooming Onion that Spike seemed to have an affinity for. It's all takeout, purchased and arranged for ahead of time rather than anything remotely fresh. Few people know how to prepare for a disaster like residents of Louisiana ~~or thousand year old vampires~~.

He addresses the video screen with a charming smile and a dry tone.]

The Blood Shack is, of course, open for business. I've taken the liberty of preparing for the worst. Do come by and have a hurricane or a bloody hurricane with us. [If you can't guess what a bloody hurricane is, you don't want to ask] To borrow a famous British motto during a disaster: Keep calm and carry on.

	No. I haven't. [And she's perfectly happy and willing to admit that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Then you are quite fortunate indeed. [No sarcasm or bitterness, but perhaps a small tinge of envy. Eric wouldn't trade lives with anyone because, for the most part, he likes who he has become. However, he is also very aware of the life he might have had if he hadn't had such suffering inflicted upon him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. I know. I also know we're not quite at that point yet. Nobody here's suffering that badly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, and in fact for many, this is quite the life. It is certainly easier here for me than it was at home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Because you're a vampire, or because you're...you? [Let's be honest, Eric, you're not as charming as you think you are.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[That gets an outright laugh out of him. He's liking you more and more, Zatanna. Beware.] A bit of both I suppose. I could make my life easier if I'd properly toe the line and rise to my proper station. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	King of Louisiana most likely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He's entirely serious. He's the oldest vampire in existence in his world. His sister is part of the Authority and he's the poster boy (literally) for vampire-human relations. If he would take orders a bit better, yes ma'am and no sir when he ought to and aspire to be a bit more successful in vampire terms, he would have been appointed King a while ago.

He smirks, nods to Zatanna and lifts his glass of blood in a toast.]

	[Still somewhat unsure, she resigns herself to a half-hearted two finger salute in lieu of a glass to raise.] If you say so, Your Majesty. [True or not, those words will never pass from her lips unironically.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He has no doubt. That won't stop him from responding. He smirks at the title.] As you were. (Reply to this) (Parent)
